"Milliways is having a theme day, can't say I am complaining, it is funny and insightful."

Permalink

"I honestly don't know if that insightful was an euphemism or not."

Permalink

"Shush your prude. Well, since he proposed. What exactly do you mean with little to your culture? Would you normally walk into a bar wearing that little?"

Permalink

"No, I mean this is sleepwear. Or underwear."

Permalink

"Some people jog in sort-of what I'm wearing?" says Martin. "But yeah, basically sleepwear."

Permalink

"Same deal. Fifties dad over there," he waves at Felix, "wouldn't want to be seen in public like that, but it isn't indecency. Fenris sleeps naked and Milliways is allowing that right now, but is not like he would explore a new place like that."

Permalink

"… I mean, I wouldn't term that naked," says Itaruko. "Some people actually do sleep, like, without any clothing at all, but yeah."

Permalink

"He means I wasn't wearing these when I opened the door and found Milliways on the other side. Good, thing I am the shameless brother."

Permalink

Nod. "Fortunately I was wearing these when I opened my door."

"So, between us, we have two worlds without magic and two worlds with humans. That seems… interesting?"

Permalink

"I wonder if we can find something to compare between our Earth and Itaruko's planet. Does your world have super-heroes?"

Permalink

"Nope. We don't have magic at all, that I know of? We've got technology, though, which might seem like it depending on how advanced your civilizations are – don't know if you have it but I'm assuming you do from what you're wearing?"

Permalink

"We in fact do have technology? Do you have computers and a network of them that connects the world?"

Permalink

"Yep," he says. "Also mobile devices that connect to it, too?" He holds out his phone, which looks extremely thin and lightweight.

Permalink

None of the triplets have their phones, but they have Bar, so here is one of the latest smartphone models to compare. Maybe Martin would want to compare the technology of his world too?

Permalink

"That's… quite similar to what we have, I think? We might be a few models ahead on some of them, though."

Permalink

"I don't recognize any of the brands," says Itaruko, "but it looks like you might be a few years behind us?"

Permalink

"Enough years that it might be decades?"

Permalink

"I don't think so? It depends, we might have taken different routes to prioritize technology or something."

Permalink

"You still have, like, lightbulbs and– cars? That sort of thing?"

Permalink

"Yeees," he says. "Also trains? I know Rhunya has a nice metro." Pause. "Oh, I should probably show you what my planet looks like," he says, and conjures a small ball of light, mostly blue except for a single continent and a few surrounding islands. "I'd expect Earth to be something like this–?"

Permalink

"We are very likely to prioritize other things, like we have more continents, also we don't have whatever kind of hologram is this?"

Permalink

Headtilt. "Hologram?"

Permalink

"This thing?" Fenris points. "How are you doing it?"

Permalink

"… I'm not sure how to articulate an answer to that question because I feel like there is a pretty big gap if you don't know what this is." He frowns. "It's… lumen? Does that help?"
