[Liam's looking rather excited and shocked today when he turns on the laptop in his hotel room. It's apparent that he wants to look at the camera to speak to the network, but he's also unable to take his eyes off of whatever it outside the window to the side... which in this case is everything.]

Guys, guys... you will not believe this! I can see like... forever!

[Liam laughs a little.]

Oh, yeah! Definitely!

[nowi_wins]

Oh wow that is so neat. You should work out some kinda signals with your friends or something.

[Yeah, there's a good use for super sight. Never mind that it would be completely unnecessary considering they could just use the network.]

Like, have them stand on their roofs and use hand signals to send you messages.

[arrowpoint]

Huh, maybe. Like if the cell phones don't work or something.

[He pauses, then gets up to look out the window, putting him out of view.]

I wonder if I can see the mountain from my room...

[nowi_wins]

Mountain? Oh! Are you in Vegas?


[Man, she's starting to get jealous of everyone getting to travel to all these cool places. But more importantly....]

Hey, hey, how far do you think you could see if you like, climbed the mountain?

[arrowpoint]

Yeah, I'm here with the Dwarves. They're cleaning it up to live in, I think. It's some kind of home of theirs.

[Liam looks thoughtful about the idea, then slightly excited.]

Dude, that's totally something I have to find out.

[nowi_wins]

They're gonna live in the mountain?


[She frowns doubtfully.]


But like, what're they gonna do about plumbing and electricity and stuff?

[arrowpoint]

Yeah I guess... Um, I think they have that covered. Their family runs a hardware store or something. Considering that they were using explosives to break into the place and knew what they were doing, I think they'd find a way to get plumbing and electricity in.

[nowi_wins]

Explosives?


....Is blowing up stuff really that similar to like, installing pipes?

[arrowpoint]

Well, if they own a hardware store, and it sells pipes, you'd hope that they know how to use them. At Rain Industries I don't really work with the construction part, I do orders and things so...

[nowi_wins]

[She shrugs.]

I guess if they didn't know what they were doing they wouldn't be moving into a mountain in the first place.

What's Rain industries?

[arrowpoint]

It's where I work! The family owns the company... well, my Mom's side. My uncle is the CEO. It's all about sustainable construction. You know, building stuff but keeping it all meshing with the environment nicely.

[nowi_wins]

Oh, so like, it's a 'going green' kinda thing? That's cool. A lot of people don't think about stuff like that.

[Like her, honestly. She doesn't ever do more than stick plastic bottles in the recycling bin.]

[arrowpoint]

Yeah, basically. And you're totally right, most people don't get how important it is. We've only got one world, you know?

[nowi_wins]

Right!

Well, unless the aliens decide to let us use theirs, anyway.

[arrowpoint]

[He laughs.]

Good point!

[nowi_wins]

I don't think that's too likely though.
