I could put a catchphrase here but I refuse!!!

Don't you have something better to do than bother me? I get it, you're bored, but I was doing pretty great over here. Life's good, everything's quiet, and the sky looks amazing today. You could try going for a walk and enjoying some of that, too.

You know. Instead of tossing me into a world haunted by soul-devouring ghost things.

Or maybe having our souls separated from our bodies makes us immune to the common cold. Then we'd just be carriers for people not so lucky as to visit the soul-eating ghost land.

[shadower]

That'd suck. For them.

[He's so good with words.]

[umuh]

Yeah.

[ She lifts an eyebrow. ]

Kind of an understatement, but yeah. It's suck for them.

[shadower]

Kind of a strong argument for not visiting any world you don't belong to. But I guess there's no way to enforce that rule around here.

[umuh]

Outside of shutting windows down and only opening them for natives to cross, or something. Which defeats the whole exploring the unknown theme going on here.

Not that I mind. No one needs to come check out Forks, Washington. Or the rest of the world, for that matter.

I'd sooner cut myself off from my world forever than risk exposing it to widespread disease, but I dunno that these guys will take a request like that.

[umuh]

The might. If we're volunteering to spread disease to other worlds, or monitor their data on this one. Which is part of what they're asking? I'm okay enough at computers, that might work out... if they use Excel.

[shadower]

...Dunno what a computer is.

[umuh]

[ Bella stares at Shikamaru for a moment, slowly blushing red. ]

Oh. I'm sorry, that was rude of me to assume you... would. Where are you from? I mean, what kinds of technology do you have at home?
