Anyway this is a science world and it's great!

Yeah!

Science is great and I am glad you appreciate having it.

Biology is the best thing.

What kinds of things have you scienced out about biology here? The obvious stuff is all engineering-type things.

Do you actually want me to ramble technically about biology, because stopping is way harder than starting.

I want to go to sleep at a reasonable hour but otherwise I would be happy to listen to a biology ramble!

Daphne is incredibly enthusiastic about biology. She will absolutely let Bella sleep at a reasonable hour but in the meantime Bella will learn many things.

Bella is so delighted to learn these things! They are very helpful for Project Get Used To Being In A Science World Again.

Delighted Biology Ranting is even better when the recipient is pleased and interested!

And Bella goes to sleep at a reasonable hour, and in the morning she wakes up when Idaia does. Morning!

Morning!

I am told options for food include "mooch cafeteria points" and "learn to operate science appliances"?

I can teach you to operate science appliances or source mooching points!

Whichever's fine by me! Although I don't know what there is to cook around already besides presumably bacon.

There is in fact bacon. If you don't care let's go to the cafeteria; it's faster and I do have class.

Cafeteria it is.

The cafeteria contains a wide variety of breakfast options. Breakfast options that are extremely similar to ones in her birth universe.

This is getting uncanny. But she helps herself to Kharoline frybread (or whatever they call it here) and scrambled eggs and sausage links.

I mean, I don't think it's weirder than that we both have jeans.

I guess not. But the coincidences are kinda adding up. - I suppose it's definitely not weirder than there being two identical-except-for-the-tourists Valinors.

Yeah, there definitely is that.

I wonder how similar your science fantasy is to real science.

I have some novels in with the books I brought. But, uh, I avoided reading science fantasy, after...

Don't blame you.

It seems like a lot of the superficial concepts are similar, based on what I remember from reading the genre as a kid and what Daphne was saying. But the fantasies gloss over a lot of the more tedious details and make it sound more reliable than it is unless there are plot reasons for something to fail.
