[ Summer heat! Great for more time in the sun or sticking inside the air-conditioned buildings. Anyway, it's humid. Make sure to stay hydrated and apply sunscreen!

Heard there were some new faces, though. Why not greet them! ]

It is usually that instantly thing. Vikings try really hard to avoid dying from wounds after a battle. No one wants to pass up on Valhalla, so you need to die in battle or not at all.

Leads to a lot of amputations to avoid dying from infection, but if we had better medicine, there could at least be less of that. Not that its always avoidable, but not every limb gets half chomped off by a dragon.

You're from Caeli's world. There is some....real wild things there. Magic. Gods you talk to. Also your dragons are this amazing magic thing that is still really weird to hear about. So I could see it as being possible there.

How much do you have to go?

[purestdust]

800 points exactly - but please don't worry about it. You have already helped me, and we have a new member now. I'd rather he gets the help.

[protectshisown]

I mean, I can afford to do both pretty easily.

[purestdust]

Even so, I shouldn't rely too much on your generosity. If you were to give me points now, then this time, I would make sure to return them later on.

[protectshisown]

Man, today is just 'how the newbies and I are similar' day.

To be fair, four of my abilities were bought by a senior member. Three because there was an invasion of Tokyo-F from imps and ogres and I had already proven a tendency to run into danger, but still.

I also told him I'd pay him back and it took several months before I got him to just accept the points.

[purestdust]

I hope it'll take me a little less than that.

[protectshisown]

Oh, I had the points for a while, it was just to get him to not send them back immediately.

[purestdust]

[ he smiles at that, a little charmed ]

Wouldn't you do the the same if any of us sent you back the points you gave us?

[protectshisown]

Depends entirely on circumstances.

[purestdust]

If I am correct in my assessment of you, I'd say you would if I did that before I could reasonably afford to do so.

But I do believe you'd respect my wishes to pay you back otherwise.

[protectshisown]

Correct. Get enough points where you can buy stuff or memories on the fly on top of whatever payback you think you owe me and then I'd be open to it.

[purestdust]

That does seem reasonable. If we win games and I try to do more lives, it shouldn't take long.

[protectshisown]

It is surprising how quickly points can build up.

[Also gonna send 800 points now.]

[purestdust]

[ noticing the notification and then nodding at him ]

Thank you, Rye. I will pay you back as soon as it's feasible.

[protectshisown]

No problem. Don't worry about it.

[purestdust]

Maybe there are things I can do to help in the meantime, to pay you back in another way.

[protectshisown]

If you're paying back points, you don't need to pay back in other ways.

[purestdust]

I would still like to repay everyone's kindness. But admittedly sharing this laboratory was the only thing I could think of.

[protectshisown]

I mean, I'm going to ask you a million questions about the lab regardless because I want to know what I'm doing with a lot of things I have no frame of reference for, so...
