Do enjoy yourself in the process.

[alienation]

I shall.

[ ............

............... SEVERAL HOURS LATER, still during the day,

ding dong. ]

[thisisalie]

[ hello ]

Oh, completed already?

[alienation]

I try to be as efficient as possible.

[thisisalie]

Consider me a level of impressed.

Might I ask for the names of the two planets you found?

[alienation]

[ Touches a button on his wrist, and up pops a magenta holographic screen. All of the text is in an alien language, but it's... just his notes. ]

The first is from Wilbur, who described his world as a "server" named the "Dream SMP". I believe server is the equivalent of a planet for him.

[thisisalie]

Interesting... That is a new one.

[alienation]

He told me that he was wed to a salmon, once, and that she was a migratory being.

[ i don't know what a salmon is. ]

[thisisalie]

Now now, we mustn't judge others' tastes.

[alienation]

[ ... why don't i know what a salmon is. ]

...is it something one would normally judge...?

[thisisalie]

Salmon can be an acquired taste to some.

[alienation]

I've yet to meet one.

[thisisalie]

Perhaps you'll be lucky enough to here.

[alienation]

"Lucky"? Are they so wondrous?

[thisisalie]

They truly are. Many regard them quite well.

[alienation]

Fascinating. No wonder he was so enamored at some point.

[thisisalie]

Be careful not to be swept away by their siren call, should one ever appear.

[alienation]

I'll find some way to endure, surely.

[thisisalie]

As a man of great willpower?

[alienation]

I'd like to believe so, at least. Shall I tell you of the next one now?

[thisisalie]

Please do.

[alienation]

The second did not know the name of his planet, and I imagine he may not know if he's even on one. There are planets in the sky, but when questioned about his, he was just confused. However, the name of the continent he hails from is called Zemuria, and its oceans have both fish and monsters.

Is this acceptable?

[ he has a third just in case, but this one is more interesting. ]

[thisisalie]

You wouldn't happen to have learned the difference between fish and monsters on his planet, would you?

[alienation]

...

I asked him the very same thing, and he had no proper answer.

[thisisalie]

I shall assume the difference is what can be eaten by people and what eats people then.

That is acceptable.

[ A tentacle slides out from under his collar to present token. ]
