audio

[Just audio from Cal this time. Short, sweet, and to the point. He's not up to much else after the conversation he just had with Flick. But he has a question, and he needs an answer. At least he's trying.]

If I had a question, how responsive are these so-called gods?

[Private | Pell]

[A few moments later, he sends another audio message, directly to Pell and no one else.]

I won’t be coming home for the next few days. Ask Flick why. He needs me to not be there for a while. He probably needs you too.

...I’m sorry.

I'm sure. I just can't see why they would care beyond what they can get from us.

They probably don't and that's why there has to be a deal; whatever you offer them has to be good enough or big enough to catch their attention.

Fair enough, I suppose. At least, more what I expected.

Yeah. [ There's a bit of a pause before, ] Do you mind if I ask what you're wanting to get?

Something I otherwise would not have considered.

[ That's vague... ] Well, whatever it is, I hope you get it. For a reasonable cost.

I suppose we'll see, won't we? Somehar's wish will come true, at least.

Somehar? Is that a friend of yours, or a god?

It's nohar in particular. Some har who isn't me.

Does that mean "one"? "Har"?

Close enough to it, maybe.

Interesting.

Where are you from, if you don't mind me asking? I've never heard that before.

It was Earth when I left it. I suppose it could have changed since I've been here.

Oh, I'm from Earth, too! California specifically. And unless we're from drastically different times, it's still there.

They don't call it that anymore. It's practically ancient.

When are you from?

That's an interesting question. I'm not sure you would know "when."

Why not? Isn't it just a year?

From what I can remember, they're different now. The world already ended once.

Yeah, I guess that would probably change things pretty drastically... But it's good that civilization was rebuilt.

For the most part.

How did the world end?

The humans drove it to shit.
