Alice	Alice is going to start mirroring all the information she gleans to the others.
The_Guild	Sure thing. I think that was happening before.
Alice	Okay just confirming Alice is going to experiment with trying to read the contents of closed books using the windows.
The_Guild	You suppose it could be done, as you can 'pass through' the books and actual light has no bearing on your own sight, but it requires a delicate handling of the windows that you cannot master at this time.
Alice	I'm looking for good insertion points where we won't be noticed arriving and potential bases of operation. I take it the dimension laws would prohibit moving valuable like that?
The_Guild	Import would be illegal, yes. There are plenty of places, a lot of borderlands in the foothills and in the woods where there are small populations. Insertion probably wouldn't be a problem.
Alice	~Thinkers: Are we playing on a time limit?~
The_Guild	~There is no time limit, no.~
Alice	~Is the perception of time passing faster here than in the guild?~ I imagine security is tighter in this trade hub, correct?
The_Guild	~Your perception of time remains unaltered. The time passing in the demonstration world is faster.~ Each race has a sort of 'embassy' area, but it's all pretty much willy nilly.
Alice	What is the ratio of time? Can Alice see any major problems with this city that I might be missing.
The_Guild	Things between the races are tense but civil. It's as if each race is hiding a knife behind their back, and knows that the other two are doing the same, but nobody's willing to actually pull the knife out and say "have at you!"
Alice	Which race looks best to emulate? Culturally most easy to emulate and with a loose enough society that we can fit in. ~Thinkers: For the purposes of this simulation, are we expected to minimize our black time in order to get a sufficient tutorial in the Grey.~
The_Guild	The elves spend more time in a solitary setting, but further study shows that their longer lifespans and low reproduction rates makes them more familiar with their neighbours. The dwarves live in a few highly regimented cities and are quite closeknit. The humans are probably the best, as they are spread out along the coast in several larger encampments.
Alice	~Thinkers: Can a summary of the rule set for a dimension be viewed by us before entering a dimension? For example, can I know whether psionics exist naturally in this world?~
The_Guild	~Yes. Psionics do not exist in this world. Psychic powers are a low order ruleset function which has not been included in this tutorial.~
Alice	~Thinkers, which of my powers usable and to what level within permissable Quotient rippling bounds.~
The_Guild	~The main problem lies not within the alteration of the dimensional fabric (which can revert once pressure is relieved) but in the observation of an Awareness. Powers are useable to their maximum extent except where witnessed by a native Awareness.~
Alice	~Thinkers: Believablity is still erroded if the Awareness's memory is wiped?~
The_Guild	~Awareness is a pre-dimensional concept that precedes memory. A dimension is built around around and through the observation of an Awareness, and held together by that same Awareness.~ ~While erasing memory does smooth some ripples, so does stealing evidence or killing witnesses.~
Alice	What seemed culturally appropriate. Tourists is easiest if possible.
The_Guild	Out of towners. Gotcha. Are you in the army too?
Alice	Is healing done with medicines or magic primarily? Say medic.
The_Guild	Magic.
Alice	damn, any non magical?
The_Guild	Magic. But there are healing artifacts and such that will be included in the kit.
Alice	good [btw, Alice is actually quite liking Ostilliw and doesn't mind showing it a bit.]
The_Guild	[Heheh. :) ]
Alice	[She has an acceptance of those who have no truck with fools.]
The_Guild	[*grins* Sounds like you'll get along just fine.]
Alice	[Btw, do you want me to send you the convos between pcs?] [They do seem to show our personalities well.]
The_Guild	[Sure!]
