[ he is at the grocery store, staring at the fish in the tanks!! ]

I didn't know you could make them kill fish on demand for you...

[bottleking]

Feels kinda bad, doesn't it...?

[ Like, look at them go, all living swimming beings... ]

Guess it guarantees they're fresh though. But then... this place is called Oceanside, I'd think we're by the coast and can get fresh fish from the harbor anyway?

[foreverphantom]

I guess going straight to the shore is too much effort for people. Easier to just go to the local store and have them do it for you.

...do you think they can tell how close they are to the ocean still?

[bottleking]

[ That's... either it's very silly or very deep. Ponta chooses to go with the latter, just for the sake of argument. ]

I don't know. Do you think we could tell if our homes were just right there, outside of the city?

[foreverphantom]

I mean. We'd still be able to see the city from there though, right?

[bottleking]

No, I mean like... We don't really know where Oceanside is, right? Or what's happening outside of it.

If the portals back to our worlds where right out of the city gates, would we feel that? I mean. Probably not, your fish thing just made me think.

[foreverphantom]

Huh.

Well, I can't really feel the portals back home either, so my vote is on no.

[bottleking]

[ ... huh. Okay. Not the answer he expected. ]

Then I'm gonna go with no for the fish too. Fish and people aren't that different, I think.

[foreverphantom]

They're not?

[bottleking]

We're all living creatures from an Earth environment, right? Knowing how many worlds exist out there, I feel like that's plenty in common.

[foreverphantom]

Well, if you're comparing against literally everything across every known universe, then yeah, I guess anything we encounter wouldn't be "that different."

[bottleking]

... though then again, maybe you and I aren't even the same species and just look it? Since we're from wholly different worlds.

It's all just silly thoughtplay that doesn't matter though.

[foreverphantom]

I mean, even if we were from the same world we probably wouldn't be the same species.

...although who knows, right now I might just qualify as your standard average human.

[bottleking]

..... the whole ghost theme on your profile's not a metaphor?

[ Why is he even bothering to be surprised anymore.. ]

[foreverphantom]

Nope.

[bottleking]

That's pretty neat.

[ He does think that! But then wait... ]

Or should that be 'my condolences'..??

[foreverphantom]

The former. I actually really enjoy being a ghost. Or, half-ghost.
