Who else is joining the tether work team? Hate to admit it, but the meditation training isn't going smoothly and we only have a few days to find answers.

Is there something I'm missing?

[ballseeker]

Let me guess.. struggling with the mind clearing part?

[blue_ice]

Is it that obvious?

I have to help them. I just keep focusing on how important this is, and I think that's interfering somehow.

Who makes the best coffee around here, and can they be bribed?

[ballseeker]

I'm the same way. Made Vegeta so annoyed the last time he tried to help me meditate that if I wasn't so frustrated myself it would've been funny.

Pressuring yourself doesn't help, either. Nor does saying 'just clear your mind!' because I don't think it is humanly possible for me. Maybe .. slowly setting thoughts sort of 'aside' might work?

I don't know what you've already tried.

How many votes do you think it would take to convince the train we need one of these illusory rooms?

Not want. Need. I feel it is possibly the most valuable thing to health and happiness we could entertain adding.

un: elidibus

[wewillwewill]

I would agree it could help.

The voting is assigned by the Voidtrecker Express. But it seems so far to be based on the level of technology and how much the request is judged to be a an improvement to the well-being of the passengers as a whole, rather than personal desire. These factors might have exceptions.

I'd expect to see a voting assignment in the 400-800 range.

un: heirofthedog

[asheaveniswide]

[Oh. It's him.]

I am not quite as certain, as a previous request of mine was for the comfort and ability to actually sleep without undue unpleasantness for anyone over two yalms in height, and it was assigned a considerable price in spite of many passengers being in the range of Garlean average instead of Eorzean.

I don't think there's a single suggestion anyone might make that would be truly altruistic.

[wewillwewill]

[ It is. ]

I agree, there's little certainty. You may be able to ask the train directly what the guidelines for its choices are.

[ Elidibus makes a note to ask himself. ]

Since the train adjusts based on who is tethered to it at any time and there are few possessing your height, it may have been deemed a higher cost based on the relatively minor need. Though again, this is merely speculation. And it may be another question you can address if so inclined.

[asheaveniswide]

If I wished to ask the train, why would I be asking here?

[wewillwewill]

There was the possibility it hadn't occurred to you. Why do you ask here?

[asheaveniswide]

To hear others' estimates, and generate conversation. At your age and with your experience you should know such things are routine.

[wewillwewill]

I do. And oft more common. I did wonder out of interest.

[ Elidibus didn't use words like 'for mortals' but they were possibly meant to be filled in there. Probably. ]

Did any other technologies here catch your eye?

[blue_ice]

Hm. Guess it makes sense that he's so good at this.

I didn't try one at a time, so...I will. I just hope it works. Everyone's waiting.

hey there anyone who knows computers who thinks they can hook something up into the train so we can download or print or whatever everyone who's been on the roster

to help with trying to find the tethers. so we can see their faces again

train said it'll give us the list

[blitzcheer]

like

1000?? a room just for messing with gravity is 800

un: closingcases

[tactlesstantei]

Just connecting something to the train?

If I can use the computer and printer in Standard to do it, I can try. I'm mostly familiar with stuff like the laptops and phones from my world though, so connecting to the train might be a bit tricky.]

[blitzcheer]

if you wanna give it a shot. the computer on the train is diff from the ones where im from and connecting to the train always sounded like a pain

[asheaveniswide]

According to another, such high prices are due to very few people being able to make regular use of it, does the messing with gravity room qualify for that? I personally have the impression such an illusion-riddled room would see quite a bit of foot traffic.

[asheaveniswide]

[if by now elidibus hasn't realized even immortals do the same stuff, surely having dealt with more than a few on the train, zenos isn't going to point it out]

The rest in truth seems rather familiar, either within the reach of Garlemald now, something we already do, or something we are soon capable of. With little need of illusions to entertain ourselves, however, such an avenue has not yet been pursued.

[blitzcheer]

i dunno

in that case shouldnt bath and showers be cheaper? that was something like 600

i thought it had something to do with the tech and what the train thinks you want

[asheaveniswide]

600 is fairly inexpensive compared to other things.

The tech is clearly available, and theoretically not hard to get were we to make another stop at one of these void outposts. Given many seem to be enjoying the visit alongside our actual task of being here, mayhap it will not be the last of such excursions, and all that would be required is an empty car and asking it to be installed via such a base instead of expecting the train to do it solely on its own.

[blitzcheer]

600 is a lot if youre going by things more people can use

but it wont hurt asking

[asheaveniswide]

I wonder if it would be willing to make a stop if it isn't an emergency. Although relations are improving, I have had the impression the train would not have stopped here were it not required.

[blitzcheer]

its taken us to places for a break

but you mean for the tech right? try asking the ministry about it then it can get it for platform

maybe the ministry will even give it for free. really go in about how much it makes us feel better
