WELCOME

House 1411

"Hello? Hello?? I'm sorry, there's nobody home right now. [ obnoxious peal of laughter: go ]

Ahh, that's right! Leave a message, and I'll get back to you. Right? That's how it goes? Aha, no telemarketers, please!

If you run up my bill, I'll have to ask you to pay the extra costs.

It's really cool from up here

Re: T E X T

[shoubai]

my favourite place to be
i almost cant wait for winter

Re: T E X T

[whizbangs]

I know right
Blankets and hot chocolate I'm gonna make a roof nest
I will be the great queen of this roof
And look down with benevolence on all the ground peasants

Re: T E X T

[shoubai]

granting favours and blessings at will and whim
thats the life
nothing beats the view by the beach i have to argue
purest view you can get this side of the atmosphere

Re: T E X T

[whizbangs]

I took the kid once, we stayed til dark
He'd never been before
I like it up high though
Standing on the edge, almost feels like I can fly again

Re: T E X T

[shoubai]

you could fly?

Re: T E X T

[whizbangs]

Wait did I never tell you that??

Re: T E X T

[shoubai]

youve told me you were a hero
and youve been to space
did you fly direct?? can you fly direct?????

Re: T E X T

[whizbangs]

Yeah!
Takes two minutes from the ground to break atmo if I really try
Not to brag

Re: T E X T

[shoubai]

and the atmosphere and velocity didnt crisp you??
same for re entry???????
thats really heroic!!!

Re: T E X T

[whizbangs]

I'm more durable than most
And my body absorbs energy? So it just feels kinda hot is all
Feels like an adrenaline rush
Like the coolest thing ever

Re: T E X T

[shoubai]

really amazing!!!!
to come and go as you please!!

[and to have somebody believe her, be impressed by her, share her enthusiasm -- it's comforting, in a strange way that she hadn't known she needed.]

It was
Still spent most of my time on earth though
What can I say, I'm a homebody

[ after all he'd seen in his world, in his life, in his travels, a flying spacewoman was the least bizarre of all the things he's beheld until now. ]

how lucky!
you must have been the envy of all travelers far and wide

Re: T E X T

[whizbangs]

I had some friends who could do it too
But I was the best, naturally
Is it only ships where you're from?

Re: T E X T

[shoubai]

for humans, yes, only ships
some amanto could do it id imagine
your world must have been a busy one
flyers everywhere

Re: T E X T

[whizbangs]

Crises everywhere too
Flying makes it easier to get to the next one
Never a dull moment back home

Re: T E X T

[whizbangs]

[then--]

It's too quiet here

Re: T E X T

[shoubai]

anything that isnt 'home' is too quiet

Re: T E X T

[shoubai]

whats yours like?

Re: T E X T

[whizbangs]

Kinda like here honestly
But with more big cities
And less interdimensional kidnapping
I lived in new york, I dunno if you had a new york

Re: T E X T

[shoubai]

we had edo
i think ive heard of new york
thats one of the american cities isnt it? across the ocean

Re: T E X T

[whizbangs]

Yep that's us
We saw more supervillain activity than probably anywhere else on the map
So we had a lot of hero types

Re: T E X T

[shoubai]

maybe the new york of your time is like the edo of mine
a lot of excitement

Re: T E X T

[whizbangs]

What year did you have
Before you got here
