"So what does civilization look like, here in reality?"

"People mostly go about their days? They live, they trade, they love, they work, they go to sleep at night and wake in the morning. Most people have at least one headmate, which might be rather different than what you're used to, and that does affect politeness rules some."

"In my world, if you are in possession of a headmate, you are called an abomination and killed."

"That seems an unhappy place, then. It'd be dreadful, being alone in our head."

"Most things liable to become a person's headmate do not have their best interests at heart, so the practice is understandable."

"You don't make them?"

"That is a subject of some debate amongst the philosophers, but the consesus is that no, demons are not created by human imaginings. We may give them form in the physical world, but their essence exists separately within the Fade."

"I was made. My Nausicaa was made too, by this body's original."

"Clearly the rules here are different."

"It's interesting that anything's the same at all, really."

"All the more given the highlight of the differences, yes."

"I was somewhat filtering for that, for what it's worth - at least for an atmosphere and such friendly to human life. Though it's odd that's fetched us worlds with humans so far."

"Perhaps humans are very common."

"I'd be curious why! My world might have been interfered with, certainly - but if our worlds aren't divergences of each other, why should we have familiar species?"

"It may be that your filter is stricter than you think."

"Possibly! We should play around with that, next world."

"I don't know that I like this one very much."

"It seems to have its charms. Certainly some delightful people."

"You just met me."

"And you immediately had very accurate opinions about my girlfriend's cuteness!"

"You are easy to get along with."

"What can I say, I'm adorable."

"I would like to hear more about the fey," Eliana says to Nausicaa.

"Do you have specific questions? I'm afraid we don't know much about them, but I can probably describe some things..."

"How do they relate to the gods of the Void, or for that matter, the Void itself? Do they do favors? Grant wishes? Have any joined human society permanently? Do people run away to join the fey? Do fey have headmates?"
