the staples? theyre holding it all together.

im not sure why youd help me, but okay. what do you want me to do?

[zethir]

Yes, I agree.

You're getting enough to eat here, though, right? I mean, you're not finding food hard to come by or inedible or anything?

[enarms]

Brilliant.

It's my job. And I'd like you to stay where you are. What's around you? I'll try and get myself there.

[blastedwasteland]

once i figured out i can get anything i want just by thinking about it ive been fine.

went a little overboard in the beginning and made myself sick but other than that all the foods been good.

[blastedwasteland]

im on the beach. the one with the black sand.

i made a small shelter out of wood and metal. ill be sitting right outside it.

[zethir]

Good, I'm glad. What about the rest? Clothing? Places to sleep? Or places to wash up and all of that?

[blastedwasteland]

i have pants.

i made a shelter on the beach out of wood and metal pieces and ive been sleeping there. i filled it with pillows.

ive never had a pillow before.

[zethir]

Only one pair? What about shirts? Coats? Underwear? I mean you should have at least a few changes...

Your shelter on the beach sounds nice though. All of the pillows must be very soft.

Do you prefer sleeping outside?

[blastedwasteland]

ive never had a shirt. didnt even think about having this place give me one.

i like being inside when its cold or when people might attack me. but it seems safe here and its been warm.

[zethir]

It's nice to sleep outside when it's nice, I agree.

Would you mind too much if I came to visit? Maybe brought some things by that you might like?

[SORRY BUT IF HE HAS NEVER HAD A SHIRT BEFORE AND NEVER HAD PILLOWS then an intervention is clearly required.]

[blastedwasteland]

i dont know that i need much but sure.

im on the beach. the one with the black sand.

[zethir]

You're going to have to learn fast that in this place, need isn't so much the factor as WANT is.

It's okay to want things here and enjoy them. So I'm going to bring you things you might like. Just like pillows!

[blastedwasteland]

its hard to break a lifetime of rationing everything and not having much.

pillows are great. i think i have more of them than the immortan himself.

what else is there to want?

[He is a man of simple needs.]

[zethir]

It's hard, but not impossible, and there is so, so much more to want in this world. In lots of worlds. Trust me, I'll show you if you'll give me a chance.

[blastedwasteland]

alright. but im not sure what could be better than pillows.

[isherarmor]

There are probably quite a few tricks to it (half of which I don't know and maybe no one does) but concentrating on it and really wanting to go there seems to help.

If I think of one place but really would rather be somewhere else I tend to end up ...somewhere else most of the time.

You have to swallow them whole, but I can bring you some once I have someone make sure they're the right kind.

[blastedwasteland]

i need to do more exploring i guess. im probably thinking of home so its just sending me where all the sand is. its not the same though. even the sand feels different than im used to.

pills for what?

[zethir]

You'll see, promise.

[isherarmor]

What is the sand like where you are from?

I do recommend more exploring, you never know what you might find. Think of all the new things you might eat. (But new, safe things.)

The pills would be for pain, of course. And to reduce a fever, if need be. They can do that as well.

[blastedwasteland]

its not black for starters. but its made up of so many things: some of it is red from rusted metal thats disintegrated. theres white chalky sand. salt. sulfur. all kinds of chemicals and minerals. it dont look like much but you can get a lot out of sand if you know what youre looking for.

didn't think of that. there does seem to be food all over the place here.

they have that in your world? things that just end pain? i can't even imagine.

[And now he's wondering if that's a thing in his world that he's just never known about because he's battle fodder for the machine. Not important at all.]

[isherarmor]

What can you get from it?

Most of it seems to be harmless, and much of it seems to be unending.

Have you ever had a dorito?

In my world, we have herbs and tinctures and teas that do all sorts of things, but they are hard to come by, and only maesters and other such people know how to make them. Most likely, they would give you milk of the poppy.

In more modern worlds, I am told that pills are the very opposite: common and easy to obtain. The ones I have seen work far better than what remedies I know from Westeros.

Sometimes you have to take them every few hours, but they do help. If they're strong enough they can help greatly, but it is sometimes like being drunk. What I'm looking for would not take is all away, but it would take a good deal of it.

[And that is heartbreaking.]

[blastedwasteland]

minerals for gunpowder and explosives. and if you heat the right kind of sand hot enough you get glass. theres lots of glass things here: windows and glasses and bowls and such. but its quite the luxury where im from.

id be more than willing to try it if you can find any.

UN: HOTDAMN

[charbroil]

I hear you're the one to talk to if I need a weapon fixed.

[blastedwasteland]

sure am. what have you got and whats wrong with it?

[charbroil]

It's a gun that shoots fire. It's not shooting fire like it should. Something wrong with the energy converter or the power source is my guess.
