I am told I must thank a man named "Xigbar" for helping Booth get these skeletons. I do appreciate it, thus, my thanks.

I am still confused as to where this place is on Earth and I reject the notion that this is possibly not on it. The plant life us very much Earth-like and the way the soil is composed (I am not the best for this sort of conclusion, I usually leave this to Hodgins) seems to be akin to the native soil we have all over the world.

I will reaffirm, I am not a major in Botany or Ecology.

That being said, I am interested in looking at this lake that I'm told is south of the place where Booth and I are staying; I am told it's considered a community housing number 6. How long would it take to travel there, assuming I will need to go by foot? Are there certain things I should be aware of during the travels? Traps, animals, etc. Where would be the best place to get some hiking equipment if it's available, (a compass, boots, machete, things to repel insects, trail mix/rations for about three days, perhaps a tent?)

And where would be the best place to procure a fishing rod? Would I need to make one by hand? Or would I have to find something to trade. As well as a simple boat. Row boat or canoe, I would imagine would be best. I would like to say, this will be more than likely during the warmer days or during days where rain is not a factor.


[voice/action if Booth wants]
I need to thank you again, Booth. I love the skeletons. I feel more at home here.
However, I believe we should go exploring sometime, yes? I am curious of the other places. And yes, I would like to go to the lake with you. It's why I'm asking.

Yeah, exploring. Sure. Sounds good.

You have to come drinking with me at least once though.

What's down by the lake?

[Voice] - you speak her language! XD

However, one must take into account the differences in the constellations, for example. Also, the presence of the filial spirits. They seem unbelievable, but we know they're real. If this is 'Earth', it seems it must be a 'different Earth', just like some of us have come from slightly different backgrounds than our acquaintances from home who happen to be here.

The lake should only take a short while. You might plan it as a day trip. Fishing rods should be available in the shops if you look.

You should be able to find all of those supplies you're looking for in the shops located in the plaza and reaching the south lake is pretty easy. If you just go downstream following the river, you'll reach the lake before too long.

As for the boat... I'd ask around to see if you could borrow one.

I don't know. A good chunk of the people here never even heard of earth before they got here, and how do you explain the wings? Not every day people grow extra limbs or feathers.

[daisy023]

Not necessarily, ma'am.

Gravity is around 1G, but planets can look like Earth under several circumstances: Through natural means, or terraformation. Most colonies where I'm from are like this.

I agree with the Doctor Mizuno on that matter, especially constellations.

I assume from your description of "Earth" conditions that you are from a Terran multiversion... That seems to be the case with many of the hominid sapients here. [Robert nods a little to himself.]

You are correct in that the plant life and soil composition of this region are quite similar to pre-Terran "Earth", at least from my understanding of such. However, there are many subtle differences that have arisen, possibly from the fact that this area is an artificial enclosure but also possibly because of multiversal physics; for example, the biota in this region are... not representative of all boreal forests, and indeed the biosphere seems as manufactured as the rest of this place...

Doctor Mizuno also mentioned variations in the constellations, and the presence of the so-called Filial Spirits; I have never had any evidence of the latter myself, but I am less disinclined to accept their existence now. [Robert pauses a moment, summing up his thoughts.] If you are from a pre-Terran "Earth" without magic or other such paranormal things, like my own multiversion, then perhaps seeing magic would be very strange for you. I know it was an extremely... difficult to accept occurrence for myself.

However, I must admit that I have no real evidence of this place not being an "Earth"-like multiversion. Whatever it is, though, it is most certainly not the planet I am familiar with, and neither is it the planet many of the inhabitants that come from Terram multiversions are familiar with.

Have you tried the shops?

[ brennan's way of speaking spooks her a bit but she's a friend of booth's and so buffy makes the effort. ]

You deal with skeletons?

Hey, no problem. Always glad to give a hand.
