"Sounds good. I'm glad that more than bacon's available."

"I have not been eating nothing but bacon this whole time, promise."

Out they go. Here are plants! An apple tree! A strawberry bush! Numerous potatoes!

When she recognizes a plant, she'll say its name out loud so Tiro can have the vocabulary.

"It's interesting that most of everything's recognizable. I would have expected when dealing with the infinite multiverse to have a stunning variety of exotic foods."

Permalink

"Yeah, I thought that was a little weird too. Is it weirder or less weird that they're - recognizable to me and to you?"

Permalink

"I'm not sure. Could go either way, really. Or maybe some paradoxical combination of less weird and more weird. There is a super weird thing going on in the background keeping things from being too weird, or - something."

"But then, it would probably make more sense if we were different species, too, and - I'm pretty sure we're not?"

Permalink

"Yeah. You look like the same species as me."

Permalink

"Right. Granted, there could be subtle differences in the background, like - there's a comic book in my world about an alien that looks human but can fly and has super strength. But that seems kind of implausible and silly. Unless you can fly and haven't been mentioning it?"

Permalink

"I could if I borrowed a - flying thing - from my family," he says. "But not by myself, no."

Permalink

Giggle.

"And I can't fly at all unless I buy a plane ticket, so I'm going to rule the both of us as 'probably the same thing.'"

Permalink

"Yeah."

Permalink

"And the good thing about recognizing all of the foods present is that I know if I can eat stuff and don't have to worry about if I'll die from eating some berries!"

Permalink

"Yes! Nobody wants dangerous berries."

Permalink

"No. Safe berries only. Actually, speaking of, I think talking about dangerous berries has gotten me in the mood for fruit - is everything just always in season because magic, or?"

Permalink

"Yeah. And I can make everything grow really fast when I want."

Permalink

"Magic is so cool," pronounces Yvette.

Soon enough, a suitable fruit medley is acquired. Yvette nibbles accordingly.

"Okay, so," nom, "how do you make everything grow really fast when you want?"

Permalink

"You remember that recipe where for what it made I said 'magic green dust, it's complicated'? One of the things magic green dust does is you put it on the ground around a plant and you pour water on it and the plant grows really fast for a while."

Permalink

"Huh! Neat. What other things does it do?"

Permalink

"I haven't figured it all out yet, but - what actually seems to be happening when I combine magic green dust with water is that it turns into something like the blue magic ink it was made from..."

Permalink

"Interesting!" she says, smiling. "I wish there were a theory book on this lying around that we could read, but. Well."

Permalink

"Yeah. 'That we could read' is the hard part. But that's okay, I can learn by experimentation."

Permalink

"Yeah. I wish my sister were here, she'd jump at the chance to try and learn a language from nothing but some books."

Permalink

"...Yeah."

Permalink

"Sorry. I'll try not to be depressing - we'll get out of here, and then we can toss the books at my sister and see how far she can translate."
