Hello you've reached Eleanor Lamb's voicemail. I'd explain what's next but I can't imagine you don't know what to do at the beep.

wow. i have even more questions than before.
i am also not sure how to feel about that?
maybe they inherited these tools and are just trying to figure it out before it gets worse.
but then i remember we lost taste for christmas and get annoyed all over again.

[notyourutopian]

Right?
That's my worry!
Reality-manipulating tools in the hands of people with zero idea what to do with them.
Colors seems horrible to think about.
Or taste.
But imagine if they accidentally erased copper or something.

[windeity]

wait why would copper be that bad?

[notyourutopian]

It's in practically everything.
But most importantly.
It runs through almost all the power lines.
Up on the polls and in most buildings.
If it vanished...

Poof.
Electrical age is over.

[windeity]

that would be even worse than not having the sun at all.
do you really think that is a thing we have to worry about?
if that's true though at least we would not have to deal with the app or anything.
but that also sounds like a pretty shitty payoff.

[notyourutopian]

Yes.
It's about the worst thing I've come up with short of 'what if they accidentally erase oxygen'.
And I can't imagine they're so bad at this that they'd actually do it but
I mean
We lost colors.
You'd think whatever they're doing would have safeguards about that.

[windeity]

i never understood the color loss thing anyway. i just know when i got here my eyes were gray for like three months and it was almost weird to see them their normal color again.
too bad we can't actually see what tools they're working with.

[notyourutopian]

It drove me mad to see my eyes gray every morning.
I was so relieved when they fixed it.

Right?
Hm.

Actually.
With this new guy being chatty.
I wonder if we could ask...

[windeity]

you think he'd actually be able to give a good answer?

[notyourutopian]

I was thinking about asking for answers.
I was thinking about asking for access.

[windeity]

as far as i am concerned i do not think it hurts to ask.
who knows? james asked for the guy's phone and he gave it to him.

*sigh* that should have been 'not asking for answers'. ah well.

[notyourutopian]

I heard about that.
Which is so weird.
I'll need to think of a good way to phrase 'hey let me look at your reality-altering toys.'

i gotchu

[windeity]

it really is weird, i have no idea why he agreed.
also his phone was weird anyway.
you have time i thought though. i somehow do not think he is going anywhere if he is still texting us.

[notyourutopian]

Yeah.
Which is also weird too, you know?
Why have they suddenly decided to talk to us instead of making announcements and disappearing?
Why can we leave the city now?

Ugh sorry.
I spend way too much time thinking about this.

[windeity]

i would be a little worried if you didn't, haha.
i don't have answers though which sucks.
but maybe i will have some for you by the time i get back!
it would be nice, wouldn't it?
i will see what i can do.

[notyourutopian]

Maybe.
And I'll see what I can find out over here too.
Be careful out there though, please.

[windeity]

i will! promise. and i will report once we get back and things settle down again.

[notyourutopian]

Good.
See you when you get home.
