8th Dusting

[Voice / Action]

[You know she almost, almost signed on for that one mission. A guard, surviving, she knew she could handle it. But then when she saw that "desert" thing. she has no idea what a desert is, so today she is at the library researching that, mostly because she really doesn't have much better to do today. She is clearly in a better mood though- all her earrings are in place (one of them she even thinks might be gold) and she she has a shiny nose stud in place. But... as she learns more and looks into these things more-

..Jesu.

She's gotten over being afraid of the sun (somewhat) in Luceti, mostly because of how dreary winter is, but that desert that... she flips open her journal]

Hey, Luceti. Talk to me 'bout the sun. Some of you got tales for it, right? Gotta.

[Feel free to answer her or see her in the library]

Wanna tell me more about a desert?

voice

[notabluesbro]

Well, we had sandworms. Big, giant worms that could swallow up whole jeeps, if they wanted to. I've had to navigate through an angry hoard of them more times than I'd like to admit.

voice

[makeitquick]

Those the norm for a desert or just you?

voice

[notabluesbro]

Well, it's the only desert I've known, so I'm not sure. There was a desert here in Luceti--I'd woken up in it, too, imagine that. But it's been washed away by the ocean now.

...

Didn't have any sandworms, that I've seen.

voice

[makeitquick]

Huh.

[...] Well, tell me more?

voice

[notabluesbro]

Interested in weird deserts, are ya?

Well... We also had more than one moon, two. Five, actually. Other than that? Nothing much to the place; we use giant power plants from town to town to keep the place functioning.

voice

[makeitquick]

Interested in any deserts. Never been in one. Never seen one. Never anything.

...you say five?

voice

[notabluesbro]

Don't worry, you're not missing much. But yeah, we had five moons in orbit around us; I'm still kind of getting used to people saying 'the moon' singular.

voice

[makeitquick]

Guess that would sound pretty spin.

voice

[notabluesbro]

[Pretty... spin... :|]

How about your world? I haven't got to hear much about other people's world, surprisingly...

voice

[makeitquick]

Can't tell you 'bout a whole wide word, but I can tell you 'bout Haddyn. 'Bout Versi. 'Bout the "world" I know. Home.

voice

[notabluesbro]

Sounds like a perfect place to start, to me.

voice

[makeitquick]

Hah. ...Versi's the biggest warren in Haddyn. Place fulla drifters, shifters, and all sorts of radies. We got lurks, we got pumps and jackheads and all sorts of people. But it's also goes bonds. ...It's home.

[...No, don't go too nostalgic, Fray]

'Fore you ask, warrens are the parts of the D on the ground floor. Lowest level, off the Grid, lowest of Lowers. Bottom.

voice

[notabluesbro]

Doesn't sound too different from my place, then; drifters and shifters sounds about right. I'm guessing the bottom is the most dangerous place to be?

voice

[makeitquick]

Only if you need to Laws wiping your butt, you're some rutting jackhead, or you're standing in the sun.

voice

[notabluesbro]

Laws, huh? I'm guessing that's your sheriff-types?

voice

[makeitquick]

What's a sheriff? Law's a Law.

voice

[notabluesbro]

A sheriff deals with all the people who cause trouble in their town.

Are Laws something like that?

voice

[makeitquick]

Law deals with whoever causes trouble for the Uppers.

voice

[notabluesbro]

Aah, right. Close enough, I imagine. They had their hands full?

voice

[makeitquick]

[Snort] More like we're Lowers to 'em.

voice

[notabluesbro]

[Groooan]

Holier than thou types?

voice

[makeitquick]

'Litist more like.

voice

[notabluesbro]

[Sigh. Figures.]

Not shocking. I'd be more surprised if a world didn't have 'em.

voice

[makeitquick]

How it is, yeah.

[She'd never thought about applying her rules ot other worlds, but it does make sense, she supposes]
