[crossmyheartandhope]

Sure.

What's it like, down on the other levels? Like... not the park.

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[thebeautifulworld]

Well, it's dark, since it's on the below floors. But we all have screens that show us what the scenery is outside, and of course we can come to visit the park at any time to enjoy some sunlight, too.

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[crossmyheartandhope]

How dark's dark?

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[thebeautifulworld]

[They laugh a little.]

It's not pitch black or anything. We don't have night vision! But the electric lights can only do so much.

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[crossmyheartandhope]

...huh. And you don't, like - mind?

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[thebeautifulworld]

Of course not! The sights we get to see make up for it.

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[crossmyheartandhope]

Even if you only get up there to see em once a week?

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[thebeautifulworld]

No, I can see the sights from my own house on the screens. The sun... yeah, I guess I should be better about exercising regularly, huh?

[They scratch awkwardly at their cheek.]

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[crossmyheartandhope]

Or just getting out to see the sights, y'know?

It's different when it ain't on a screen.

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[thebeautifulworld]

Really? The quality's so good, though! Or maybe you're from a country where the technology's even better?

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[crossmyheartandhope]

I dunno... just feels like getting out and seeing it's different. Like, watching a nature documentary's cool, but it ain't the same as seeing a penguin, y'know?

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[thebeautifulworld]

As a what?

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[crossmyheartandhope]

Oh - uh, a penguin. They're these little birds that can swim.

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[thebeautifulworld]

Wow, amazing! Do you have them in your country?

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean, at zoos and stuff?

But mostly, they're from way up north, on this other continent.

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[thebeautifulworld]

[Headtilt.]

Zoos?

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[crossmyheartandhope]

Oh - uh.

It's like a really big park, where a bunch of animals from all over the world can live.

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[thebeautifulworld]

Ohhh... so you bring the rest of the world to your country instead of the other way around?

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[crossmyheartandhope]

Oh - naw. I mean, I guess in some ways?

But people go traveling and see other places, too.

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[thebeautifulworld]

So your country has intrepid travelers who go out and see the world, only to bring their findings back to show everyone who remains there... I see!

[Nodding, nodding!]

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[crossmyheartandhope]

Well... kinda? But, I mean. Anyone can travel, whenever they wanna.

[At least, back before the world ended,]

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[thebeautifulworld]

Anyone could choose to leave this country to travel if they wanted... but if they did that, there's almost no way to return. Besides, isn't being able to travel with all your friends and family at once the ideal?

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[crossmyheartandhope]

I guess...? Just seems weird not to be able to actually do nothing in the places you go, is all.

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[thebeautifulworld]

[They laugh cheerfully.]

Well, for us, that's just normal.

Re: “A Troublesome Land” ─Leave Only Footsteps!─

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah... yeah. I guess so.

Is it, uh. Is it cool, if I check out the lower levels?

Under the park, I mean.
