[white_disciple]

They didn't ask your permission, stranger?

[getsome_sleep]

I am called Huo; and as it stands, I start to wonder whose permission they did in fact ask.

[white_disciple]

I'm Rauxes, and they did ask mine. I thought it was a game - I know how auctions go, but this sort of blind bidding was new to me.

[getsome_sleep]

The definition of game has very lax borders here in Edensphere.

[white_disciple]

Definitions themselves are rather lax here.

[getsome_sleep]

That is well-said; if I may be so bold as to ask, have you been here long, gui-Rauxes?

[white_disciple]

Not very long, Mr. Huo, but I've had a few strange things happen to me in my short time here.

I've already learned that 'falling' is not what I'd imagined. Much like if walking was not done with your feet.

[Among other things she's no longer stupid enough to mention on the journals]

[getsome_sleep]

A quick grasp on an unexpected situation is always to be commended, and doubly so when there is danger of falling.

[He's curious, but understands - and understands the danger of curiosity as well.]

[white_disciple]

And yourself?

[getsome_sleep]

I am a dull soul, to whom all things appear equally strange and marvelous.

[white_disciple]

I actually meant how long you'd been here, but such a quality hardly makes one dull.

[getsome_sleep]

I was born into the Sphere some four months ago; and it's true that in that time, my unfortunate ignorance has made my life all the more interesting.

[white_disciple]

What sorts of things have surprised you then?

[getsome_sleep]

Marvelous geographies, fantastic machines; mysteries to confound even the greatest sages.

[white_disciple]

Something I think many of us grapple with, from the few people I know well here.

[getsome_sleep]

Some grapple; others live their lives in peace, and yet others forgo some mysteries the better to study others.
