I can see what makes you tick.

Jeane? Yeah, she runs the rune shop.

And that plan... I know it would work if this was a normal world, but this city... it en't like other worlds.

From:

I'd like to meet her- that certainly sounds like an interesting profession.

It does seem a bit different than Manhattan. People are flying a lot more often, for instance. But you don't think I could find an exit at all?

From:

She should be easy enough to find- and she is an interesting person!

Manhatten- En't that part of New Amsterdam?

But... Maybe. People have gotten out before, but a lot of times, it was because they weren't looking. I en't sure if this world's got it's own rules or if it's got no rules at all.

From:

It's in the state of New York. Which, so far, doesn't sound like it's in a world anyone else has lived in.

No rules? Everything has rules. I suppose I'll have to figure out what they are. I tend to be pretty good at that.

From:

New York? There's only York in my world.

Figuring stuff out... I think that's more than what a lot of people here can do, even if they can blow a lot of stuff up.

From:

Really? What's the date, in your world?

It is, I think. Of course, not many agree with me. But thank you.

If I might ask- do you have magic in your world? I don't in mine, not really.

From:

19XX

I dunno. Some people here'd call it magic, some'd call it science- well, either way it en't anything like spells and stuff, it's just- knowledge, really. It's just because some of it's about spirits and stuff that people say it's magic. We call it experimental philosophy or experimental theology.

From:

Interesting. You're slightly behind me, timewise. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised about that. There's a great variety of people here.

Magic, I've heard, is just science that we don't understand yet. It sounds like your world is at the point of trying to understand it. What sort of subjects come up in that area? How do you experiment with philosophy?

From:

Spirits and Dust and Elementary Particles and other worlds... And I don't understand too much, really. I en't a scholar, after all.

From:

You called for me lovely? Tee hee~♥

From:

Are you Jeane? It's good to meet you, even if it is over the network.

I have a few questions for you, if you don't mind.

From:

I am that whom you seek. The pleasure's mine darling~♥

Questions should be answered then, tee hee~♥

From:

Thank you.

What are these runes, exactly? I hear they grant special traits to those who have them, is that true? What kinds are there? How do you make them, or do you find them? I'm afraid I've never encountered anything like this before.

From:

The runes that I sell are the children of the beginning children's birth. They are power to those that have the will enough to use them. Since they are the children of the beginning, the kinds that are make up all that is of the world, from human, beast, and nature alike.

The origins of my runes is what I can't tell you for a lady must keep some secrets, tee hee~♥ But how about a trade? I'll give you these (http://chiketsustar.livejournal.com/1543.html) list (http://chiketsustar.livejournal.com/2660.html) instead? Tee hee~♥

From:

That's a very impressive list. I wouldn't have thought there'd be so many different kinds.

How does trading for them work, exactly? I know money is useless here- what sort of things do you accept as trade for something as special as these orbs?

From:

Children to grow and spread when the parents are strong.

Tee hee~♥ Make me an offer won't you darling?

From:

But I have no idea what you'd consider valuable, Jeane. Is it merely owing a favor? Something I can do? What items would you accept in trade? Something from my world? I imagine they'd have to be fairly rare, and unique to you. would that be correct?
