Intro the First

[doubleppk]

Well now, this whole teleporting thing isn't too bad. If only they could control it they'd make a fortune. Well, not really since "they" apparently don't believe in money. I've never heard of such a thing. So backwards. The idea that "they" could be more enlightented beyond the needs of money is just plain ludicrous. Oh well! They don't know what they're missing.

I haven't gotten to explore all of this place yet, so anyone wind up somewhere interesting from this? Come on! Share the juicy details please!

Oh, right. I'm Fujiko Mine if I haven't met you yet. New Feather extraordinaire. And if anyone happens to know of a Lupin III, don't tell him I'm here.

[And anyone catching all this via audio (she's provided both options, feel free to ask her why) they can catch a few bars this being hummed in the background.]

... Not that, in particular, but rather a situation in which actual currency is rendered invalid.

[doubleppk]

No such thing. There's still bartering.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Which, by definition, does not use actual currency.

[doubleppk]

Which is why it's stupid. There's nothing exact, and it's all guesswork. A total pain in the ass.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Yes. A shame that we're provided everything we need.

[doubleppk]

I'm not objecting to the free part, but what happens if someone decides to hoard or fight over resources? That's how wars are started after all.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

That is, currently, impossible.

[doubleppk]

What? Why?

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Those resources are, as of current times, without apparent finite end.

[doubleppk]

REALLY?!

[Oh the terrifying sparkle-eyes....]

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[doubleppk]

That's awesome!!!

This place is way more cool now.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

... If you say so.

[doubleppk]

I do.

Not a fan of it yourself?

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

It's not really a concern of mine.

[doubleppk]

Why not? You're stuck here too.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Indeed. And have been long enough that the novelty has worn off.

[doubleppk]

Ah. How long have you been here?

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Long enough.

[doubleppk]

Yeah but give me a ballpark estimate. Months, a year? More than a year? I want to know how long to buckle up for the ride.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

It is actually difficult to say for certain. I was here for nine months originally, then left for a year. However only five or so months passed here in that time.

[doubleppk]

Whoa... wait... you went... where did you go? How... why'd you come back if you don't like it?

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

These are questions I am attempting to answer myself.

[doubleppk]

So you don't know how it happened or anything?

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Not yet.
