Wealthy? Ah, yes, such a thing would net you quite a good amount of money! Which is the great solution for mankind's greatest problem, as we know.

[And...snake buddy, you good?]

Ah.....pardon. "Left on read"?

[please teach him modern things]

[grigori]

It's true. The capitalistic society that rewards those of the many millions while oppresses those who struggle to support them.

Yes, "left on read". You know, when you read a message that someone has left you but don't respond to them after a couple of hours or even days? When it goes even longer than that, it's ghosting.

[ they seem to laugh at the last point made. hah. ghosting. ]

[greatdeduction]

Of course. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer. It's a system that runs over people in its wake.

[And yet here we are....we live in a society..........]

There's a term for that? Though the way you say it, it seems to suggest messages can come very quickly indeed - perhaps outside of telegrams....

[Sort of musing to himself. WONDERS OF TECHNOLOGY. And wow Mx. Ghost what's that about, huh.]

[grigori]

Yes, there is!

There are much faster ways to communicate with people where I'm from. We have cellphones, and those computers I mentioned earlier can provide of instant messaging as well as e-mails.

[ a gesture with their hand as to be looking down at it as one would to a cellphone. ]

A cellphone is much like a normal phone except more advance, obviously. It's the size of your hand and you can talk to anyone anytime just as long as you have their contact information. You can send them pictures as well, but I only like the cat ones.

[what the f uck]

There's truly such a thing? A phone in the palm of your hands? With photos? E....mails?

[VICTORIAN MIND BLOWN???]

[grigori]

I may say a lot of things but this is the truth.

Fully colored photos! Sometimes you can get them to move by making them into "gifs". [ they strike another pose except it's that of a cat. ] E-mail or otherwise known as electronic mail.

Your recipient can receive the message a matter of seconds after its sent—depending on their internet speeds and how well behaved their inbox wants to be.

[ they're reveling in blowing sholmes' mind. ]

[greatdeduction]

COLORED photos?!

[WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT]

And they move? Goodness! What you say is close to magic? Are you sure technology is advanced enough for such things? Surely you jest, my dear fellow! Why, even this "internet" is exceedingly much!

[grigori]

Yes, yes. It must be so hard to believe but it's the truth. If I could demonstrate it to you, I would.

[ oh they're loving this so much. ]

Now what if I told you that we've even managed to reach the moon? Multiple times, even.

[YES HE IS LITERALLY FALLING OVER IN SHOCK]

3/3

[greatdeduction]

[NOW HE'S BACK ON HIS FEET IN AN INSTANT. Irene looks Very Done.]

Rameel! RAMEEL?! I implore you, these fantasies being imagined as real is too much for my heart!

[grigori]

[ when sholmes falls over they'll just burst out laughing. ]

Sorry, sorry...

[ not laughing as much. ]

Everything that I've said just now is true. It's one of my desires to reach the stars and be among them.

[greatdeduction]

To reach the stars...

[He lets out a hum.]

Well, you're an angel, my dear fellow. Or rather, you've become one. But I suppose this is nowhere close to that particular dream.

[grigori]

Being an angel has its perks but I still have to travel quite a way if I wanted to reach the stars.

[ and for that comment the pink snake around rameel's neck will immediately just. bite. them?? they don't seem to be bothered about it, though. ]

Well, that's something to think about later. Currently I'm one of the Temporal's Watchers.

[greatdeduction]

[sir]




[what the ever living fuck]

I. See. Um. Your friend. Are they...normally this aggressive with you?

[grigori]

[ don't worry about it.

the pink snake will let go soon enough as rameel goes to pat them on the head. ]

Sometimes.

I can't figure out what makes them so angry with me.

[greatdeduction]

Are you saying something that sets them off, perhaps? Like this...journey to the stars business.

[grigori]

I wouldn't think so. What say you, friend?

[ rameel will bring their daemon eye and be reward with another bite to their face. right on the exposed part of their nose. ]

[greatdeduction]

[...]

[this is]


[so much]


[also so sorry but sholmes will let out the most undignified snort]

I don't think they like it, my dear fellow!

[grigori]

[ well, they're not bothered by sholmes having a time over there. they're mildly amused about the whole thing and eventually their daemon will let go of their nose and go back to belele'ing in peace(?) ]

No. I don't think so either.

Maybe they simply don't like me?

[ haha. ]

[greatdeduction]

Maybe. Or maybe this "stars" journey is something they'd rather prefer you abandon.

[Hm. To the stars, huh...]

What's their name?

[grigori]

Tammy.

[ welp. there goes that peace as they bite at their lip. the lesson being learned here is that rameel's snake is not venomous. ]

Ah. Looks like they hate that too. For me to abandon the concept of a journey to the stars, huh? I wonder if that is what it is.

[greatdeduction]

[TAMMY WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS]

...It's not dangerous, is it? This journey of yours.

[grigori]

[ tammy has their reasons. ]

I don't think it is. There have been plenty of people who have gone to the stars in my world.

[greatdeduction]

[He tilts his head.]

You said that people have been to the moon. So in your case, are your stars metaphorical? Or physical?
