Julian can't remember how far way clouds are on earth. These don't seem that different in terms of distance. about a quarter mile after the home of the mining boys, the tunnel stops, at a different mine site. There is also a platform here, with much the same sight. Its still above the clouds. Julian sees what looks like a few strange looking bird. Then he realizes its the winged people, actually flying, and they're headed for his platform. Quote:
Rolling vs Linguistics 12 -- 8 +1 to merchant Rolling at merchant 12 - 4 (worse than broken) +1 +1 = 10 vs 9 Julian finds himself happily able to argue the vendor down to 15 real rather than 1 escado. He is up one escado! Is this the dough wrap or the rice? He has skipped the meal at noon and is still feeling hungry. [/quote]If I happen to head all the way up to the grand market, I might head on to the spring for a sip of water and ask what the "vanishing circle" is. After that I might stop in the dry, well lit area, to make a diary entry, then back down towards the vegetated tunnel. It might be hard walking in the dark but better than getting kicked around.[/QUOTE] You mean the one with Brog and Ump?

I guess that's where this tunnel stops? I look around the mine site a little and try to tell if it's still in use or not. I suppose if it's lit it's in use to some extent. Quote:

Well the dough wrap is closer, right? I'll try to get a second at the same price. I'll hold off on eating it until after I let the first meal settle a little. Yes, that one. |

Fine by me. Admittedly the only reason I waved was because I thought they might think it suspicious if someone was hanging about a closed mine. Quote:
I guess Ump and company have gone back home? Yeah, I'll sleep here. |

Re: (IC) Lost in Dreams (Julian)
Yes, they're mining Vasic as well.
Julian sleeps better than last night, undisturbed by passerby. Its still a very rough bed. That night be dreams of men dumping dirt and rock into an enormous waterfall that ends in a bank of clouds. When he wakes up, Brog is leaning over him with one of the lighted stones. Julian thinks its morning, but who can tell? Counting coins and meals, I think he's been paid nine real, and bought four items from vendors with it. He has five real two escado left over. Its been 48 hours, and he's eaten at most four meals (I'm thinking that four vegatable wraps is three meals, and three rice wraps is three meals).

If not, "Then why are you here?" Then it's on to curiousity, "Why is dirt dropped into the waterfall? Why not somewhere else?" Quote:

Re: (IC) Lost in Dreams (Julian)
The concept of "morning" seems to give you some trouble, but there is some indication that it will soon be time to work.

Brog wants to head out and grab the other boys, and waves that Julian should come with him. Quote:

Unless he's going to protest, it's off to rush ahead to get something to eat. No problem. Maybe it would be best to denote the coins like: 5L 2s. |

Re: (IC) Lost in Dreams (Julian)
They could get hurt and maybe march with spears and maybe get money involved somehow.

I guess it's time to race up to the upper market, maybe attempt to negotiate for a lower price on two rice leaves (maybe I could get two for 1L 15s?), and then down to the mine. |
