If money has no meaning here, then what do people do with themselves? Adventure for the sport of it? Build things only to watch them gather dust?

I prefer problems that bite back or explode in my hands, but it seems difficult to call that work in a place where every need is already seen to.

So. What passes for an occupation here—when merit and coin are both irrelevant?

[ ....... who does he know who might know calligraphy.

He is going to get extra points in friendship which is a real thing to get. ]

Okay.

[ A beat. ] Thank you.

[badnewsandshitlist]

You are welcome. I look forward to seeing both the device and your handwriting. Consider this a proper notice of my intent to call. Though I suspect one may prove rather more entertaining than the other.

I trust you will rise to the challenge.

[badfengshui]

Okay.

[ So, also hosting. He can do that? He can certainly look for things? To make? Oh, he should try to make them? Like dried fruit and stuff? Oh look - Percy has given him something to do that isn't staring at a wall. He can prepare a nice little meal for his soon to be visitor. Hooray. ]

I'll do my best.

That is all anyone can promise. I look forward to it, and I have every confidence you will make the effort worthwhile. Do not think of it as a test, though I shall be grading all the same.

[badfengshui]

Oh.

[ Ah. ]

How will it be graded?
