Milliways may have recently been busy, judging from the confetti all over the place, the usual array of mug stains and dirty napkins and crumbs, and nacho cheese that ended up on the wall for some reason, but it's pretty slow right now.
"The planet's called Suaal but there aren't any other planets in the universe that we know of, so I wouldn't really expect you to run into it even if you do space travel."
"Does space travel work well for you? I hear that things break down really easily out there."
"What do you do with it, anyway? I hear the moon is a weird kind of rock, are the planets you can get to made of more useful materials?"
Shrug. "It's hard to think what I'd compare it to. I guess it probably makes it more complicated to travel on the ocean."
"I guess that's not an easy question to answer, it's not like you've lived on planets with varying numbers of moons such that you can do a comparative review for me."
Clarinda nods and puts a cloth in a bucket and gets another one.
"Are there any poems or prayers or meditation topics or other mental exercises you particularly like?"
"Um. I have some favorite poems but what are you talking about? I know what meditation and poetry are..."
"Praying is a mental thing you do in order to try to get a god to do things. They can sort of engage with it sometimes, there are definitely limits but the details aren't clear to me. Sometimes people formalize it. If you haven't heard of it it probably doesn't work very well where you are or something."
"A god. Powerful being, grants their favorite followers the ability to create water and heal people along with some other magic, reasonably often involved in afterlives?"
"At least in my world, usually when people's bodies die their souls go to places. …usually places with lots of dead people. Not here."
"I... don’t think I’ve heard of anything like that? How do you know about it and, uh, are the afterlives... clean...?"
"Sometimes they send visitors, or people get visions. And the nice ones are clean, I think?"
"Strange and infrequent! I haven't personally spoken to any that I know of, it's more … sometimes you go to a temple and there's a lantern archon in the area who might give a speech at services or who might just be there on an errand, the Asmodeus Corporation office has at least one imp, that sort of thing."
"I haven't personally gone on a quest to verify it but they're things I hear dead people can become?"
