[This is one clever little newcomer who has quickly figured out the system. Well, the SFC system at least. He adjusts it slightly so he is looking straight into the camera. He is very obviously New Here. Mostly on account of being slightly wet and covered in towel.]

So. Yeah. Hey. I'm sure you get this all the time but I'm new here.

[pause, mumble]

Wow, that sounds like it is some kind of support group. "hi everybody, I'm the Once-ler and I'm stuck in a fishbowl."

Anyway, I was reading the pamphlets-- Great stuff really, very informative. I uh, think there were a few typos. And you might wanna hire a new illustrator, cause yikes, but really, thanks. It helped a lot. Wouldn't wanna be stuck in a kooky underwater magic fish bowl without some information, am I right? Haha.

[S i l e n c e.]


Anyway, I just got one question...

What is up with these towels?



[And he goes back to drying himself off again, muttering a little under his breath.]

Wow, a thneed would work so much better for this.

Okay, basically what you are getting at here is that when I go back I will go back right to the moment where I left and nobody will even know I was gone?

[aim_exorable]

D --> That is what I just said

text

[bhag]

Just checking.
That is kind of a big deal and I don't want to be going on the wrong assumptions here.
But if that's the truth, that's great.

text

[aim_exorable]

D --> You can speak with others to confirm it
D --> Summoner came back not too long ago

text

[bhag]

Judging by the title this is another troll, huh?
How many of you guys are there even?

text

[aim_exorable]

D --> Now?
D --> Only sixteen

text

[bhag]

Only?
That still sounds like plenty to me.
Wait, how many of us are here anyway.

[What are empathy?]

text

[aim_exorable]

D --> Over 100 humans

text

[bhag]

Including or excluding those kooky natives?
They keep trying to give me towels.
I don't need this many towels.

text

[aim_exorable]

D --> Excluding
D --> Maybe you should move from the coral and stop looking blatantly new then

Re: text

[bhag]

Or maybe I am going to sit here and collect all the towels and sell them at a marked up price.

text

[aim_exorable]

D --> You mean the towels that every foreigner is given upon arrival
D --> And that are the most common item in Vatheon besides water
D --> And that we can get for free elsewhere?

text

[bhag]

Sure, why not. It is not like anything else makes sense here.

text

[aim_exorable]

D --> Plenty makes sense
D --> The tattoos, the curses, the period in which individuals arrive
D --> If you get hung up on one detail
D --> Then you will miss other opportunities

text

[bhag]

The economy is not a detail.
It is kinda the building block of our entire society.

text

[aim_exorable]

D --> You mean the society you are from

text

[bhag]

And every functional society ever.

[You know. Except all those other universes he knows fuck all about. But shhh.]

text

[aim_exorable]

D --> Ah my mistake
D --> Clearly you know more about mine than I do

text

[bhag]

It's cool.
I won't hold it against you.

text

[aim_exorable]

D --> How generous

text

[bhag]

Yeah, I know.

text

[aim_exorable]

D --> Quite
D --> So
D --> Should I refrain from giving you proof of the involvement of scientists?

text

[bhag]

No, no. Go ahead. Give me your evidence.
If that kinda thing is really going on, I wanna know about it.

[USER aim_exorable is attempting to transfer file information.sfc to USER bhag. Accept Y/N?]

[bhag]

[Y.

Okay, he should read this now! Reading in progress!]

You know, Karkid is probably not the best choice for a public relations troll.
But hey, what do I know.
