crystal

( Behold, a new voice on the crystals. Soft, good-humoured, with an accent that sounds Scandinavian / relative equivalent. The crystal catches a quiet breath of laughter before she speaks. )

I don’t know if you’re really lucky to have an engineer turn up, or if I’m really unlucky that I need to figure out the machinery.

I mean, learning about the infrastructure of a city in a whole different world isn’t even a “once in a lifetime” kind of opportunity, and pretending I’m some sort of genius at kinetic motion just because I know some mechanisms from home would be pretty fun, but…

Wow.

( Maybe that sounds a little weightier than her first "wow.")

Oh, I'm Abella. Riftwatch, you’re gonna have to have a lot more ramps by the time I’m done with you. Somewhere has to accommodate wheelchair users, even if it’s some kind of fairy tale world.

( Hmmm. )

Wait, can you just make them float, here? (More softly, ) Flying wheelchairs would explain the lack of ramps. I mean, this crystal thing is remarkable, so... let me know if I don't need to think about the ramps.

I've a deadly important question for you.

[ This voice sounds very much like it's coming from a man who has never asked an important question in his life. ]

If we build these ramps, and have chairs with wheels on them, can we then ride those wheeled chairs down the ramps for fun.

[undergrunn]

( This is amazing. )

Yes. ( "so long as we aren't taking chairs from people who rely on them," bllah blah, the responsible things that she'd personally assume was a given. )

But if we are using the ramps for fun, we should become more ambitious and see what is possible when we become airborne.

( And thusly the half-pipe was borne unto Thedas. )

I would imagine death is the most likely possibility.

[undergrunn]

That only means you aren’t imagining hard enough, or using enough mathematics.

[bouchonne]

I have never in my life used mathematics. How dare you.

[undergrunn]

Calculated risks. Thanks to the mathematics.

I truly don't see what sums have to do with anything.
