Nice upgrade. 👍

[ … Yup. That's it. His plain-looking rock turned into an ~iStone~, and that's all Maine has to say. ]

Probably weapon level, too.

[ Because clearly people who communicate with rocks must use them as weapons, right?

(Not that Maine wouldn't bludgeon someone to death with a rock, but details.) ]

[Maine.]

Think history class. Earth. Pre-space travel. We're not talking spears and bows and arrows here.

[Not exactly the stone age...]

[ Maine knows at least one person who he thinks would fit in the 'spear, bow, and arrow' category. But naturally, he figures that Carolina knows best. ]

Roger. Haven't asked about homes.

[ Other people's homes, he means. Why would he? ]

Can learn some interesting things.

[Although that is something that Carolina has found to be interesting.]

?

[ The most abbreviated way of asking for more information. In other words: "like what?" ]

[Come on, Maine.]

Different earths. Means different history. Different tech. Different weapons.

Useful.

Sometimes.

[See? She can do one work answers too~]

Gives you something to do aside from training and exploring all the time here.

Like training.

[ And he's never been big on socializing. At all. ]

Same, but there's more to do than just training.
Ever tried a water park? Surprisingly, fun, but I didn't tell you that.

[ Maine's response is noticeably delayed. He's squinting at his iStone, trying to figure out if it might be malfunctioning. It says that he's talking to Carolina, and previous texts have sounded like her. But this one? This one is different. He can't imagine Carolina actively seeking out things to do other than training.

Eventually, he has to ask: ]

Carolina?
