It's all right, I know you can't help it.

[slight eyebrow raise because MY TERRIBLE CHOICES ARE STILL CHOICES but, clears throat]

--so you've been around most of the United Kingdom, I guess?

[plotless]

[I JUST MEAN YOUR CHOICE OF WORDS]

Oh, no. I've never been to Ireland. And these days I'm rarely out of London, if it comes to that.

[the_ex_in_xp]

But Wales and Scotland are a yes? Maybe it's Welsh countryside with imported castles from the mainland of Europe...

[plotless]

I hope we're not pulling pieces out of the land like that.

[the_ex_in_xp]

If they are, it wouldn't be where anyone would miss it. Even if it fits on the silly evil scale, steal the Eiffel Tower, steal the Statue of Liberty, steal the moon...

[plotless]

[laughs]

They'd have to get there first.

[the_ex_in_xp]

Well, they get a lot of stuff outside of camp--oh, you mean the moon?

[plotless]

Of course. That sounds inifinitely more difficult, and those rockets I've seen in future history books don't look up to the task.

[the_ex_in_xp]

[well, compared to hormonal super-powered vegans who punch the moon, yes, they are pretty inefficient]

I guess looks can be a little deceiving...

[plotless]

How big are they? Have you ever ridden in one?

[the_ex_in_xp]

Uh, about the size of an airplane--er, a ship? Like, maybe little big bigger than a schooner? I'm not a big nautical fan.

And I've never ridden one, like, in space. But I've done the zero gravity thing before. It's something astronauts train in...

[plotless]

So they're military? That's a shame.

[the_ex_in_xp]

Mostly. I think we're getting to the point where we're trying to send up millionaires and pop stars for the novelty of it all.

[plotless]

You'll have moon tours before you know it.

But back to the point at hand.

[the_ex_in_xp]

Right. Mysterious European backdrop with even more mysterious castle.

I'm trying to wonder what the catch is, but this is waaaaay better than the Midwestern farm thing.

[plotless]

Well, it seems to be more remote. But given that we can't leave either way I'm not sure that counts as a catch.

We'll just have to keep our eyes keen.

[the_ex_in_xp]

I'm sure this place will make its downsides obvious at the most inconvenient time. In brightly colored banner like ways and everything.
