The only thing Alan is in danger of here is a timeshare sales pitch. That runner is going to take an aggravatingly long time is all, plenty of time for Alan to thoroughly look over Uns' entire stock.
They really should have tied a rope to connect them.
Hey, Paul was the first that split.
The end of the comic showed it as being a destroyed wreck.
Now I'm reminded of the South Park episode with the ski resort and I'm thinking that this will turn out the same.
Darko, my reading was that Chojin was saying that the people of the present day wouldn't find 10th Century Baghdad as impressive as people then would have. The end of the comic is meant to represent modern day Baghdad, rather than the current state of the city in the Dream, I believe. So it's showing people in the present who can still be inspired by the Baghdad of the Dream. And the merchant is saying that the Caliph is keeping the city in the Dream connected to the waking world via its dreamers dreams, hence allowing for change. It's not the only plausible reading, but I think it's a valid one.
The material version was a destoryed wreck. The Dream version was at the apex of its glory.
Thank you, corrected.
I'm amazed Alan wasn't more on his guard, but he kind of operates on a spectrum of 'It'll all work out somehow' these days anyway... And OL is usually cynical enough for both of them. I mean, it's not like Alan spends plenty of time each day browsing sites like TVTropes...We can but hope the others aren't getting as side-tracked as these two did...
"going" to "doing"
It's bad idea to do it on purpose, but if one of them seeks you out like this the best thing to do is generally to be polite and usually nod along.
Let's count those who have popped up so far. Dream is here, very good.
Why would Doctor Mist go on a drug trip?
Sanderson's turn, eh? No doubt worried and a little panicky at being separated from the veteran heroes. ...And the Demon. And his inexperience puts him at more risk of blundering into something bad.
Perhaps OL can redesign it for you, after all this? If it's still modelled on the wartime style, I don't doubt it's awkward-feeling.
Hmm... An elemental spirit, or one of their descendants, I wonder? At any rate, it's unimportant. Good to see Sand focusing on a goal...
I know, he's a product of his time, but... I really hope you don't use those words in public, Sand. Some folks might take violent exception to them...
Something like a restaurant, yes...
Yeah, the Middle Eastern countries did like their coffee back in this Baghdad's day. Even if it's maybe a few centuries anachronous, the original version of Baghdad coming from the 8th century as it did...
Let's hope this isn't a lead-in to trouble, then. It would be entirely in character to such a realm.
Probably a dream of a Cacti, then, since they're not particularly common in the Middle East.
Let me guess, his robes have a stylishly subtle flame-pattern motif? It is a recurring design motif of his...
Ah, yes. The voice of an Endless. That subtle impression that you're not just hearing it with your ears, but also your soul...
Interesting. I wonder what brought him here. Sanderson's arrival in the Dreaming?
...Probably a good idea. Mortal flesh and figments of Dreaming might no be as compatible as you'd think.
Certainly, Morpheus himself has a natty helmet, but he doesn't wear it all the time. And i don't think anyone here is going to care who you are.
To be fair, Morpheus' default expression is generally a mask of blank amusement (or bemusement) anyway. When he isn't changing appearance to match his observer's expectations, anyway.
Certainly, he was better than fellows like Doctor John Dee (Who did, for a while, possess Dream's Ruby.) Not one of the nice ones, him.
Morpheus cares little for what mortals do, I think. Few of them make any mark in the world anyway. At least, until they impact on him or his responsibilities...
And when you're on Dream's good side, that's pleasant enough. Now, if you get on his bad side...
And thus outside his area of concern. One thing Morpheus is big on is proprieties and boundaries... In his own series, that's ultimately responsible for his downfall, in a way...
...But providing a measure of aid in acquiring what you need to gain access yourselves, that's another story.
Ah, yes, that's the rub. After all, if the Tower's owner doesn't want it being found...
Ah, yes, another mortal to which he owes a debt. And Morpheus honours debts, no matter how small.
Well, that would be quite helpful... What's the catch?
A power he did eventually possess in the comics, no less. Though not a pleasant benefit...
Well, don't complain later if this bites you in the ass...
...Because you did ask for it.
If someone was using the Dream to injure others as your captors were...
Perhaps you meant 'binding'?
It was said that they import dreams, so maybe they got some connected to coffee.
Or generally blank, or broody, or pissed off.
You don't wanna be on that side.
Thank you, corrected.
didn't we see there son in thangar part the story
