[ continuations and such ]

[ from here ]

[ exploring isn't a bad thing; it lets me know where the quiet places are ]

Right.

There anything I should know about that's got antlers and weighs seventeen times what I do that lives in the water on Earth?

It depends on what part of the world you're in.

. . . I'm not sure where we are anymore.

I was never sure to begin with.

We were in America before. The opposite side of the world from where I'm from.

What's the difference between that and Japan? That's the only place on Earth I've been.

And it's where I'm from. Japan's an archipelago in the middle of the ocean. America's on a different continent entirely. Different people, different animals, different everything.

Can't you people ever be consistent?

Is everything the same on every planet or sector or whatever you've been to?

Depends on the planet and the system.

Some of it, there's not a whole lot left to be the same.

[ that is

actually kind of depressing ]

So why should it be any different on this planet?

[She just shrugs, headed off over the sand.]

Dunno.

[ just looking out at the water ]

Nothing with antlers, but plenty of huge creatures with sharp teeth.

Now that I'm used to.

Some are large enough to swallow you whole.

Well, there is Marcy.

Giant squid aren't all that uncommon. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more than just her, now.

Are they all so handsy?

. . . Marcy's a special case.

So it seems. There are some mistakes you don't make twice.

I don't know what her story is, and I don't want to know it, either.

Neither do I, but I'm more concerned with never getting in her range again.

Even I have standards.

Too slimy.

[ this is a visible shudder ]

Tentacles bigger than you, and you're worried about slimy.

Sorry for having a preference for cleanliness.
