"Doesn't really speak well of them, if they're trying to be the organization for heroes."

Permalink

"Well, that's just it, they're trying to be the organization for heroes and not for industrialists."

Permalink

"Was there an organization for industrialists?"

Permalink

"No, not really."

Permalink

"Disappointing. There isn't any here either."

Permalink

"Well, I don't seem to be having any trouble making the business end work without an organization."

Permalink

"It's really impressive - you'll be making more money than most espers at this rate."

Permalink

"I'm not sure the rate'll keep, surely eventually I'll wear out people's interest in owning extradimensional leaves."

Permalink

"Well, hopefully more exploring finds even cooler things than alien leaves."

Permalink

"Maybe. I can be the bottleneck of interdimensional trade with another populated Earth maybe."

Permalink

"I have no idea how you'd price that."

Permalink

"A percentage on top of a flat per-trip fee, presumably."

Permalink

"You're going to end up getting a bunch of like, tech companies wanting to send information to each other? I think?"

Permalink

"Okay I bet you can max out bandwidth demands - the stock market and something internety both aren't going to be too much traffic. Latency will be a bigger issue, I think."

Permalink

"Especially if the world is far away, yeah, I don't want to go faster, I worry I'd get lost."

Permalink

"I'd expect to be able to pull you back but maybe if you go far enough I'll have a range limit."

Permalink

"Do you have any guess how far?"

Permalink

"My guess is I don't have a range limit."

Permalink

"Then sometime I should try getting as far as I can without getting totally lost, within your time limit, and then if you can't pull me back I'll come back the long way."

Permalink

"Seems like a good thing to test - I can manage people in four dimensional dungeons fine."

Permalink

"How deep do those go?"

Permalink

"I don't know - Lia might?"

Permalink

Well, she's easily messaged.

Permalink

They vary just as much as three dimensional dungeons do, so some are pretty ~deep. Also look at this fish I found [photo of Lia holding a glowing two headed sword fish sort of thing]
