I hate that I can't say that doesn't happen where I'm from-- but not to the point that someone would open restaurants with an open enough rumour that the meat was human. It'd be a locked down secret if there was.
There's always people that take a goal or passion too far. [ still. somehow eating people makes him go ?! the most. ]
You thought they'd just off him, like-- [ he snaps his fingers. ]? Seems like they follow the kinda of rules we have back home. Killing someone's against the law. It doesn't stop people, but there are consequences for it.
... Scien offered to hire me as a research assistant. He told me to go to his home world where there would be another Scien there. After providing certain proof, I would be able to work there with lodging.

I still have seven weeks to consider it, I suppose... but I will definitely not return to The City.
... Yes. I'll keep looking for any other paths I can take, but for now, staying on Eudora or trying to go to Scien's home world are my current options.
You could go wherever you wanted to. There’s a number of alternate versions of Earth half of us seem to come from, and if they’re similar enough they’ll have those laws against killing there too.
I'm aware of how hard it is to build anything up from scratch... and if they're that different, I would like a guide, if possible. If not, then... I'll think of something.
[ being better than the city… the bar is in hell. ]
Then you need a guide and someone who can get you documents. Either someone with a high position, or someone able to fake them for you. Both would work if you found somewhere you liked enough.
Pretty sure Scarecrow’s faked documents a few times, so if you were on any version of Earth he coould put something together that could be used on any of them. [ scarecrow is not here to say no to this ]
[ Amazing. Honestly, if we have to be real here, someone inviting her to their world almost feels like a proposal, and there's some sort of hunger there... she misses warmth of how kind people can be. She's soaking it up like a sponge during her time here, but it'll be more prominent this week. ]
[ She seems to shrink a little with the pat on the back of her head, and her ears are as red as her hair. Her hands seem fidgety as if they're not sure what to do.

[ That's how she knew of it, anyway. ]
... Rodya pointed this out, but we don't have a law that prosecutes people for murder.
no subject
That sounds like someone taking a passion a bit too far.
[ oh. ]
You don't?
no subject
People will do anything for their passion, as long as they can make it come true. There are notable ambitious people.
And we really don't. I thought the Eudora crew were being merciful when they sent Blade to the brig.

There really aren't any consequences for it back in The City apart from assessing your threat level...
[ The City sucks!!! ]

You kill someone and they go "oh well now you're 20% more of a threat than before" and that's that?

No wonder you were eager to stick around for another tour.

I would say that it's a part of it, yes.

no subject
Seven weeks is plenty of time to decide what you want to do. You already know you're not going back, so that's the biggest part out the way.
Then it's just considering if you want to do research, or try something else.

So… take your time. There’s no rush.

Are you... inviting me to yours?
no subject
… [ uncertain. ]
I’m giving you more options, if you decide neither’s for you. There’s a lot of Earths. That’s why I said take your time.

... Thank you, Shu.
[ It still makes her happy. ]

Mm. Like I said, take your time.
