"What about them?"

Permalink

The material used to build them is interesting, and they're so tall! What an idea!

"It allows a lot of people to live really close together."

Permalink

I can see why that would be useful if you had a lot of people! And it's very striking.

"Let me know when you want to go somewhere else."

Maybe in a few days?

"Days?"

...we can stay longer if that's not convenient.

"It actually sounds like a pretty long time? Like, it would be normal to spend several days here on vacation if you had to get here by plane, but I'm teleporting you."

Permalink

...and so it is not normal to spend several days?

Permalink

"If you spent several days here you'd need a hotel room, and money to buy food, and changes of clothes... well, human tourists would."

That is also a cultural difference. What you're sending for money is, like, 'standardized good' and 'with no uses' and 'everyone wants it anyway' - oh, no, it's that- that is the use?

"You haven't invented money?"

Permalink

"Oh. Well. We have it. You need it for stuff."

Permalink

...what happens to people who don't have any, are they not allowed to eat?

Permalink

 

"It's complicated but yeah basically."

Permalink

There are some disadvantages to that system.

Permalink

"We know. That's why it's complicated, people try and patch it without breaking the whole thing."

In Valinor people just cook food and hand it out in the streets to people who want some.

Permalink

"Uh... where do they get ingredients?"

Permalink

Farmers? And gardens?

Permalink

"Who just... farm and garden for their personal amusement, and hand out the stuff?"
