[The deerthings and the rabbit-eggplants are, I refused to eat the bugs, and the dinosaurs are very stringy.]

Permalink

[Rabbit-eggplants sound delicious actually.]

Permalink

[The description precedes the taste, they're smaller than other things but only comparatively, still about as tall as my waist, and look like six-legged rabbits with a weird eggplant shape.]

Permalink

[So they actually taste like chicken?]

Permalink

Can she send a mental giggle? She tries to do that. [They don't taste quite like anything from Earth but if I were to try to approximate it's something between trout and ribs.]

Permalink

[Weird. I'm going to get some people to go looking for your cave.]

Permalink

[Okay good it'd be great to finally figure out whether this is real or I'm insane or in some twisted psionic experiment.]

Permalink

[I think a psion who could pull this off would probably notice us talking.]

Permalink

[In which case I might just be crazy, wouldn't that be grand.]

Permalink

[Not exactly a typical presentation of mental illness.]

Permalink

[Probably not, but finding a portal to another planet is so wildly unlikely I have only been entertaining it as a possibility because if it is true I'd rather not be eaten.]

Permalink

[I mean, it's the sort of thing a mage could do...]

Permalink

[Open a portal? I guess in theory, but it'd take so long and where is that mage if so? ...maybe eaten.]

Permalink

[Or they just abandoned the portal a few hundred years ago, hard to say.]

Permalink

[I suppose, although I can't really imagine why someone would do that. Then again, I can't really understand why generalized immortality isn't a solved problem yet.]

Permalink

[I read a book suggesting that a lot of early eclipsed didn't actually realize that 'mage' and 'psion' are the only specialties, and assumed they could only improve at whatever they did first or most easily.]

Permalink

[Huh. That would explain it, I suppose. I confess doing non-biological things—by which I mean setting things randomly on fire—feels weird.]

Permalink

[And this when you've known all your life that a mage can pick up any mage stuff.]

Permalink

[Yeah. Well, whichever the reason, I feel much better about making everyone immortal now that I'm no longer potentially stranded in another planet forever.]

Permalink

[It'll help, yes.]

Permalink

[You know, I'm considering taking one of these animals as a pet.]

Permalink

[Are they friendly as well as tasty?]

Permalink

[The deerthings are pretty harmless and curious and I feel terrible for eating them, the rabbit-eggplants aren't curious per se but don't do anything, and I would feel awesome if I could ride one of the dinosaurs.]

Permalink

[Have I mentioned the deerthings are ridiculously huge? They have six legs and are often more than twice my height. The trees are also gorgeous and the view from above's breathtaking.]
