So, I think I made a new friend.

It really is.

More like specialists on hand to set the foundation for expansion. It's not for our yard... it's for sustainability.

[bibeakerbabe.livejournal.com]

I guess. I'm sort of energy development. Shiyoko is vehicle development. The maid's the maid....

Umu, financial support?

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

Umu seems like an organizer in general.

But yes, you all have your own specialties and skill set. It's not what I chose you for, of course, but any abilities we can put to use is something for the betterment of all of us.

[bibeakerbabe.livejournal.com]

How Utopian.

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

Ideally, yes.

I mean, if I'm going to have my own little world, I may as well make it as close to heaven as possible, right?

[bibeakerbabe.livejournal.com]

I know you mean that, dear. But I'm cracking up.

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

Well, it's heaven to me. Wonderful girls, comfy home, ease of living... doesn't get much better.

[bibeakerbabe.livejournal.com]

... That does sound pretty nice. Does help the neighbor we have is quiet and doesn't cause too much trouble.

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

Maybe a few more similarly mild neighbors, eventually.

A nice, peaceful existence.

[bibeakerbabe.livejournal.com]

Mild and probably minded.

Sounds nice. Though hopefully it won't be too dull.

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

I imagine we'll stay connected to Earth for as long as that's reasonable and desirable.

After that, we can explore the multiverse some. Lots of different places to go, only limited by what won't reject our existence.

[bibeakerbabe.livejournal.com]

... Well, I don't have much on Earth, but I don't know about Shiyoko and Umu. They might want to have Earth to come home to.

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

I imagine so. For the time being, at least.

All the same, the more area we have prepared, the more people can live here if we offer and they accept. Or if things go badly on Earth.

[bibeakerbabe.livejournal.com]

... Honestly, I don't think that'll come up. The whole bad earth bit.

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

It will, eventually.

It just may take millions of years.

[bibeakerbabe.livejournal.com]

I know.

Though I think it might take a normal lifetime to get them to let go.

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

I imagine we'll meet more people over time. ...and I imagine that some things will get... rather complicated as we get older.

...but that's okay. We'll work through it. Together.

[bibeakerbabe.livejournal.com]

Of course we will dear. But I think it's going to be hard to have them agree to leave, is my point. Especially Shiyoko without her sister, as it stands.

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

On the short term, yes. But I've given up on that.

Long term it's going to be much easier. I honestly think Shikou and Shiroko might become our neighbors someday.

[bibeakerbabe.livejournal.com]

... What makes you say that?

[Private to Vidya, just in case.]

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

Well, from what I gather, they're both going to be rather long lived. Shiroko because of the modified genes and nanites, and Shikou because of something or other.

Besides for us, there's not much option for people they wouldn't have to watch age. Besides, why wouldn't Shiroko want to live near her sister in the end?

Re: [Private to Vidya, just in case.]

[bibeakerbabe.livejournal.com]

... Probably in the end. And we're an ageless world, effectively.

Re: [Private to Vidya, just in case.]

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

Anyway, I do hope you have fun with your cute new friend. And do give me a ring if you encounter any trouble.

Re: [Private to Vidya, just in case.]

[bibeakerbabe.livejournal.com]

... What would a wedding ring have to do with anything?

Re: [Private to Vidya, just in case.]

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

...oh please, not you too, honey.

I mean a call, a message, a notification of your impending need.
