[The voice in the psychic network is even and self-effacing. It seems that all babies are safe this time. In fact, it wouldn't be surprising if they were put back to sleep.]

Today I was told that some of you could pull objects out of thin air, and that I could eventually learn those same skills.

Given that my learning will take longer than smoking the rest of my pack, would anyone mind creating cigarettes for me? If necessary, I can work for them. I'm good at changing light bulbs, writing reports and tasting cake.

I can make both cigarettes and cake.

[ARE YOU GOD.]

...That's very impressive.

For cigarettes, I hope Lucky Strikes are all right?

What kind of cake would you like?

Lucky Strike? Is that a brand? Any one is good, thank you.

[He's used to getting his cigarettes for free, so he's not too picky about brands.]

As for cakes, why don't you try some popular recipe from your homeland?

[He's all for carb diversity. Besides, Eliot is already working on his all time favorite: strawberries. ]

I think I can manage that.

If you can find the restaurant called Aiya, I'll meet you there?

[Interjects] Merits.

[He takes a while to understand what Eliot is up to...Perhaps another brand?]

...Merits, then. I guess?

The restaurant with the mean looking young man who draws fluffy animals. I've been there before.

I haven't smoked those, so I wouldn't know how to make them.

If you let me know how Lucky Strikes are different, I can always try.

No need to get braggy about it.

What part of that was braggy?

What else can you make, gold bullion? Diamonds? Tiny goblin servants to see yo your every whim? Wine?

... I'll take it back if you can make a half decent bottle of pinot noir.

[Wait, someone mentioned wine and that interests him! What witchcraft is that?]

...Can you?

I've actually experimented with wine [and most other alcohols] some, but I don't quite have the taste to judge it well.

So if anyone would be interested in doing some tastings for me, they would get a bottle of the best wine they found in return if they so wanted.

I guess bad wine is still wine. [Ugh, though.] Let's have a competition! I shall, of course, officiate and judge.

Anyone here can learn to make cake or cigarettes so it's not bragging. It's part of the nature of the Liminal Space.

Geez, with an attitude like that, you'll end up annoying everyone.

End up? [amused sounding - Eliot is very used to not being the most popular kid on the block]

There are those who will definitely try to get along with you even if you're being annoying.

Depends on the gin. Bourbon?

[Clearly.]

My sister tells me that all the time.

[Hopefully she can't hear his mental sigh.]

She sounds pretty smart.

How old is she?

She is. And twenty three.

Well, I guess some people have to stay smart despite becoming old.

[Why are children so children. Jean is not used to them.]

I suppose so. Though it's hard for me to think of her as "old", since she's my little sister.
