Listen up. Few items.

You see someone with a green glowy thing in their hand, they may be capable of more than just a sick rave party. Well documented abilities include offensive energy expulsions and flash-shields, and a couple shard-bearers able to close rifts at a time. New documented abilities include those things, but more, and the ability to close a rift on their lonesome.

And if you also notice a rifter capable of phasing through solid objects, distorting time, blasting green lightning, ask yourself: is that rifter extremely handsome, well groomed, articulate, witty, smells nice, killer biceps? If those things apply, don't freak out, it's on purpose, and not a demon.

Second thing — if you find a rift you weren't expecting, take out a little piece of paper, or write on the back of your hand, the day and time you discovered it, and the day and time it was closed. And the day and time it opened, if you catch that, but we'll settle for the license plate. Forward all notes to Wysteria Poppell.

[ Shuffle shuffle paper sounds. ]

Last thing, uh. Hey, the world is round. Like it's a giant sphere, floating in space. Okay, that's all. Bye now.

[innerharbor]

Kinda. It's more of a vacuum.

[okayimin]

What's a vacuum?

[innerharbor]

...Fuck.

[okayimin]

I pretty sure it's not that.

[innerharbor]

You'd be surprised.

Gimme some time to figure out how to explain what a vacuum is. It's kinda fundamental.

[okayimin]

[ She's genuinely excited about this. Teach her the weird science, space man. ]

All right, as long as you don't forget.

[innerharbor]

What the fuck else have I got to do?

...You wanna help me make a Pachinko machine?

[okayimin]

You'll have to teach me, I never learned any craftsman work.

[innerharbor]

You know how a hammer works, Sis?

[okayimin]

Reckon I've seen a few.

[innerharbor]

Great, you're in.

[acreage]

That's what you're making?

[innerharbor]

I'm so fucking sick of card games.

[acreage]

[ oKAY BUT, ]

Out of wood?

[innerharbor]

Yeah. 'Cept the nails.

All analog, like a fuckin' caveman.

[acreage]

[ admittedly, ]

If anyone can do it, it's you.

[innerharbor]

You wanna help, you can sweet talk the local blacksmith on giving me a discount. He doesn't like big guys.

[No offense.]

[ glosses over all space discussion to zero in on— ]

What is Pachinko?

[innerharbor]

A machine.

[positioning]

What does it do?

[innerharbor]

Pachinko.

[positioning]

I have never heard of Pachinko. Why do you need a machine to play it?

[innerharbor]

Alright, alright.

[So many people bugging him instead of Jim. Awful.]

It's a game. I'll show you when its finished.
