Dwarven cities are entirely underground, and in stone, and mostly built for people substantially shorter than Cam and Timothy, though it's not hard finding larger accommodations. Lack of local currency will be a problem very quickly.

Would anydwarf like to purchase some arbitrary material objects.

Permalink

Yep they would.

Permalink

Then it will not stay a problem for very long!

Permalink

Shortly they are fabulously wealthy.

Permalink

Marvelous. Now they can tourist around in style.

It is less tacky than Hell and nearly as anarchic. Dwarves aren't far ahead of anyone else in tech but have them very much outmatched in 'variety+quality of consumer goods'. There are dazzling cave tours and all the museums are economic history and quite a few people speak Quenya for the research papers.

Dwarves are great!

"Aaron would love it here. Maybe I should send him."

Permalink

"Maybe. He can summon Minor when he arrives for startup capital."

Permalink

"I bet magic would do just fine for that."

Permalink

"Seems like it might take more explaining, but sure."

Permalink

"Yeah, wouldn't do it inside an hour, but I think he'd want to be here awhile."

Permalink

Nod.

"Back to Milliways?"

Permalink

"Works for me. Thanks for coming out here. It was fascinating."

Permalink

"It has been a lovely trip."

And back into orbit to rejoin the lightleaper and off they lightleap.

They arrive just in time for Cefax's fireworks show.

Permalink

Ooh!

Permalink

It's very well-orchestrated. Liatsi's planners are good at their jobs and there are lots of resources in Hell for people who want to do dramatic fireworks shows.

Permalink

It's only a little weird that he looks exactly like Cam. They're dressed differently and the Cefaxi can't tell white people apart very easily, though, so nobody else really notices.

Permalink

And then Cefax's dots can open for business. "I should be conjuring my mail very often for the next while, I'm expecting a bunch of problems. Is it convenient for me to stick around you, or should I summon someone?"

Permalink

"How often is very?"

Permalink

"Half-hour or so?"

Permalink

"I will want breaks from that pace but that's fine for most of the time."

Permalink

"Thank you. Perhaps I am too pessimistic and it will all go very smoothly."
