"Are you Mura? I'm Liarae. I'm not sure if anyone mentioned me to you?"

Permalink

She half steps through the door. Blocking the view to inside of the bedroom, she is wearing a silky robe and has to cover herself for modesty. 

"You were mentioned, yes."

Permalink

What was mentioned might be an important question. She nods, "Alright then... Isteri, Patiri and I were discussing what we should do from here. With the resources we've gained from Milliways, and the information that Milliways exists at all. We... thought we should introduce ourselves, and ask your opinions on the matter."

"Ah." She apparently doesn't know what to say about this. "Could you give me a minute? I-" She steps further outside.

Permalink

"Honey? Where are you?" Istevi opens the door again and blinks at Lia.

Permalink

-Ah. 

Well, it's good they're making up? If... that's what is going on here. 

"Hi," she offers Istevi, before looking back to Mura, "I can definitely give you a minute," she agrees. 

Permalink

Yeah, that would be good. Istevi retrieves Mura and closes the door.

Permalink

Alright then, she will... idle in this hallway for a bit? If it takes them more than a few minutes she'll consider just going back downstairs, though. 

Permalink

It takes more than a few minutes, yes.

Permalink

Hmm... she'll wait a bit longer, but then back downstairs she goes, and back to Patiri. Is Isteri back? 

Permalink

She is with Zofin by her side. Isteri waves her over and introduces the two of them.

Permalink

Zofin is reserved, but manages to not crumble on herself.

Permalink

"Nice to meet you," she tells Zofin. "Mura asked me to give her a minute. I waited for a few, but I guess she must have needed more?" Maybe best not to mention what she was busy with. 

Permalink

"Were you looking directly at her? Time doesn't pass at same rate to everyone in Milliways."

Permalink

Tiny flinch. "Uh, I was told that it happens, unless you're directly interacting with the person."

Permalink

"-Well, I guess this place has proven to be able to mess with time already. Maybe I should go back up and knock again?" 

Permalink

Well, Mura picks this moment to show up by herself. She makes a line to their table, only taking a moment to shoot a look at Zofin, but continuing with more determination.

Without introducing herself she just sits and says. "I was told that you're planning on what to do with this place?"

Permalink

"Discussing the possibilities." Isteri says. "I am glad you joined us."

They explain what they already discussed with Lia.

Permalink

Zofin isn't sure what to should be done with Milliways (or at least looks reluctant to share what she really thinks), but if possible would rather not become famous over night because of it. 

Isteri reassures that should be easy enough to handle.

Zofin's door is at her university's archives, there is non-zero security, but Isteri thinks it's their best option if they want to sneak people out of Milliways.

Mura came through the same door as Istevi. She shoots Lia glare as if daring her to say anything about earlier. They came in through Istevi's apartment, in a gray neighborhood, which she doesn't know much about, the building - or at least Istevi's floor - is a mix of residenctial and brothel.

Permalink

She's not going to say anything, though the glare gets a bit of a narrow-eyed look in return. Probably Istevi's building has a lot of traffic, then, though a few people might be able to come and go without much comment. 

Permalink

Isteri agrees with that assessment.

On the topic of keeping Milliways a secret or not. Isteri reasons that it's entirely possible more people form Amenta might get into Milliways at any moment. She thinks that whatever direction they decide to take they must account for that. She is also aware that their country incentives are such that it would be advantageous trying to get as much personally ahead through Milliways and then book somewhere else. She isn't going to judge if they have been motivated by that, but she will offer the notion that the best ways to use Milliways do involve going public eventually.

Permalink

She can't argue with that. It would be incredibly selfish to keep this from the rest of Amenta in the long run. How do they do that in a sensible way, though? A reveal of something this world-changing will have to be handled carefully to avoid starting wars. They might have to get Isteri's parents involved, unless anyone knows other blues with the right connections. 

(She can't deny that she's thought of taking what she's gathered here and moving to another world, if a better one is offered. She hasn't been considering it seriously since it became obvious that she would be able to afford at least this credit, though. She knows how to live in Eleseo, where moving somewhere else would involve learning an entirely new system.)

Isteri is reluctant but eventually relents. But even then there still the practical obstacle that her parents are on the other main island of their nation. There is Patiri's blue friend, with the obstacle of Patiri's roommate.
