Second day of liminal [OPEN]

[someonetocarry]

So we've got a pretty big group of folk here, from all over. Prob'ly got a all different walks of life represented, right?

Do any of those folk happen to be from a doctor-type of walk of life?

I ain't plannin' on transferring anything, son. This is my baby, and I'm a healthy woman, no reason I can't carry it myself, long as no Trumps do anythin' to muck with it.

But it's more convenient and safe--

[Ugh. How does he get himself into these conversations.]

All right, fine, women have been giving birth the natural way since time out of mind. And most of the time it doesn't even kill them.

[someonetocarry]

If it do kill me, I hear you come back from that 'round here.

Sounds like somethin' the core planets might have, for all I know, but we sure don't have funds for that in the part of the 'verse I come from.

... they're admittedly a fairly recent thing on my planet as well. Within my lifetime, in fact. But the greater bulk of the Wormhole Nexus has had them for centuries.

[someonetocarry]

Guess we ain't from there. I suppose it's a nice thought, comin' from where you are, but it ain't like to happen.

[bypartisan]

Yes. I would have liked to have someone else from my world too.

Although at least we're both from spacefaring civilizations? That seems to be a rarity here.

[someonetocarry]

Definitely ain't the same, what with you still havin' folk on Earth.

[Yes, let's merge the two conversations that are essentially about the same thing, here... XD ]

Do seem like those of us from the black are few'n far between. I think I've met three or four, that's it.

[bypartisan]

Mm, same. Have you Investigated yet? Because it doesn't make it easy when you're expected to know old Earth geography and whether or not card games were called by the name you know them by yet.

[someonetocarry]

Nope, not yet. Both times I've been in, I ain't been myself. It sounds easier, even if it ain't exactly fun-- don't gotta pretend to be somethin' you ain't.

[Yes, she's heard the blow-ups on Malik's announcement to the network. And she's glad she has the excuse not to chime in.]

[bypartisan]

You know, I was so happy to finally Investigate. Ahh, I thought. A chance to be myself and do something useful. How little did I know...

[someonetocarry]

[She might be chuckling on her end. It's hard to tell sometimes over the psychic network.]

Well, now you know better, I guess. And now so do the rest of us who ain't tried it yet.

[bypartisan]

I really hope that wasn't standard. I didn't pay all that much attention to Investigators before.

[someonetocarry]

Imagine it wasn't, or there wouldn't've been such a blow-up this time. Would've just been people resigned to more of th'same.
