Last night was...

...last night was just what Mel needed to work out some of her issues right now :-D?

Since coming back, she's been doing rounds of the farm with a determined eye, making lists of things that need doing, doing some of the more urgent things; maybe she's spoken to you about what you need to do, but it's possible she hasn't yet caught upon all the gossip.

Now, as Hana and Loo play together in the grass, she's sitting and staring comtemplatively at a car that once flew. Funny how, even though one may have a genius mechanic for a brother and live with still more, there are some things for which help still cannot be asked for.

Mel wants to make it work again, and she's not sure where to start.

"Spacells?"

Space Elevators are a science fiction inevitability, for this writer.

"Not near my City. Noram's got one out by the lakes."

"Noram? North America?" Just a guess. "Yeah, different worlds. The Americas are one political entity in mine, and if they distinguish it's usually by country, not continent."

Also, depending which lakes she means, her world may run on different laws of physics from his.

The Slayerverse runs on different laws of physics to everyone's universe.

"Noram and Westam. Two biggest countries on the continent. North and West, I guess."

The implication, of course, is that the USA split up at some point. Mel's from the North eastern part.

"Huh. In mine it's the Union, both continents. And their orbital elevator's in Taribia."

He's been there, but he doesn't mention this. Considering the circumstances.

"Not the same, then."

Mel shrugs. "I never saw the Spacelle anyway. Not for the poor folk."

"They're big landmarks in my world. The Union elevator would be visible from here on a clear day."

Shrug.

"I'm a city girl," Mel explains. "In my city you're doing well if you can see the next block."

"Air pollution or just tall buildings everywhere?"

[slayer_fray]

"Both," Mel says. "Buildings're the sticker, though."

"Guess I've spent too long piloting mobile suits. I'm used to seeing things from a few hundred feet up."

Mel smirks so much she might be about to laugh.

"See, now I know you're not from my world. Few hundred feet? Lighweight."
