do: make introductions; don't: usurp the government

Tab goes home by door, right into Aelise's office. "Hello again."

"Okay. And the people here can know what all has happened since they've been gone," she waves at the cityscape bordered by its alien trees, "but if you want to go back to Earth please don't spread it around. Aelise knows, obviously."

[areyouabeer]

"Obviously," he agrees.

[giftedandtalented]

"Do you want to go back to Earth anytime soon?"

[areyouabeer]

He looks past the edge of the city, to the treetops that average a little higher than eye level from here.

"The forest is interesting, I gotta say."

[giftedandtalented]

"I like it, yeah."

[areyouabeer]

"There's really no animals on the planet?"

[giftedandtalented]

"Possible there are sea creatures, I didn't check." She checks. "Nope."

[areyouabeer]

"Bizarre."

[giftedandtalented]

"Well, there are animals on it now," she says merrily, gesturing at Toronto.

[areyouabeer]

He snorts.

[giftedandtalented]

"Actually, I should probably worry about invasive species nibbling up all the cool alien plants." She snaps her fingers; the nonhuman life of Toronto is stuck within its borders until she thinks of something else. "There."

[areyouabeer]

"Good thinking."

[giftedandtalented]

"I am rather good at thinking."

[areyouabeer]

He chuckles.

"You didn't say if you were staying or going. You can decide later, if you want to just brainphone me if you need a lift."

[areyouabeer]

"You don't have better things to do than be the interplanetary taxi service?"

[giftedandtalented]

"I have lots of things to do, but I can do a lot of them all at once."

[areyouabeer]

"Because on the one hand, I want to climb those trees, and on the other hand, I want to get home sometime today."

[giftedandtalented]

"I really will take you back when you want to go back. If you don't believe me I can introduce you to someone else who can do it."

[areyouabeer]

He shrugs. "There's always Aelise, if I'm that hard up."

[giftedandtalented]

"Yeah, she can teleport now too."

[areyouabeer]

"Figured."

[giftedandtalented]

"D'you want a copy of the factsheet everybody got when I woke them?"

[areyouabeer]

"Sure."

[giftedandtalented]

Poof.
