3-choo! (now with real sneezing!)

Phone

Everybody, I got my rune back in the mail today! I can use it to send you places, so if anybody ever wants help going somewhere you can just ask me! Then school and work and the ice cream place won't seem so far away anymore, if you think they're far away. Oh, also I---ah......ah.....ah.........

[a long moment of silence.]

....ah-choo!!

[This is followed by the sound of someone dropping the telephone! and then failing to hang up. Oops?]

Action;everywhere

[Hello Mayfield. How's life today? Are you at home? At work? School? Going shopping, maybe? Wherever you are, there is now also a Viki. She might even have landed on you! Don't worry though, she's not hurt!

Feel free to run into her wherever, whenever, however! Hope she doesn't embarrass you.]

Naw, I don't live in a star.

[Gat chuckles at that idea.]

A star system is th' star an' any worlds that's orbitin' it. Th' world you live on is part of one, with' th' sun bein' its own star.

An' th' Gurhal System has three worlds of its own. Parum's one of 'em.

[waffuport]

Ohhhh. I didn't know that! I've never seen that many worlds before, that's amazing!

[nanocerancowboy.livejournal.com]

So that'd mean you've spent most of your time in various places back home, an' that Mayfield would be th' second world you've been to?

[waffuport]

Yeah, yeah, that sounds right. Other worlds are a lot prettier than I expected.

[nanocerancowboy.livejournal.com]

[Gat looks outside for a moment.]

They can be, yeah. Planets can be pretty diverse if they've got a good biosphere goin'. Even th' ones that don't, sometimes.

[waffuport]

Biosphere? [She follows his gaze outside, but the meaning of the word still eludes her.]

I'm glad they're diverse, though. If they were all the same it'd be kind of boring.

[nanocerancowboy.livejournal.com]

[Oh. Whoops. He's got to remember that Viki isn't from a world as advanced as his ...]

Biosphere means th' whole environment of th' planet, an' all things livin' in it.

[Or at least, that's part of the definition.]

[waffuport]

Oohhh. You're really smart, Mister Gatt!

[nanocerancowboy.livejournal.com]

[Gat chuckles slightly, looking down for a moment.]

That sorta thing's more common knowledge in my time. I don't consider myself all that smart.

[waffuport]

Really? So everybody knows all these things where you're from? I wish I could know that much.

[nanocerancowboy.livejournal.com]

It's somethin' that's taught in school, I'm sure.

[Of course, Gat wouldn't know that from personal experience, since he's normally an android ... Though Gat looks back over to Viki with a bit of a grin.]

Don't go discountin' yourself, now. I'm sure that teleportin' skill ya got took a lot of studyin' to learn. Ain't somethin' I'll ever know how to do, I can tell ya that much.

[waffuport]

My teleporting?--Oh! Oh right, I guess it did!

[She'd totally forgotten!....Actually she doesn't really remember studying it. But it must have happened, yes!]

Maybe if I study hard enough, I'll learn all sorts of other things too! Like how to go to other worlds, that'd be really fun.

[nanocerancowboy.livejournal.com]

[Gat gives a brisk nod of affirmation.]

Might jus' be within your power to do so. Though I reckon my word ain't worth much, as I ain't familiar with what your world's like.

[But hey, if it could happen to Gat, it could happen to Viki! That's how he sees it. And she's guaranteed to be in every Suikoden game ever, after all.]
