I guess so. We kind of do in our own way.

@Host

How so?
*Pulls out some string and makes two mid sized tripods on either side of the fire, laying the expanded pole on top so that it crosses over the fire a few feet above it.*

Boring depends on your perspective.

@Host

True. I guess I'm just used to the idea of exploring and wandering.
*Uncollapses the cylinder into a poll and grabs a few more sticks.*

*Places them around the fire*
People are a lot closer and things seem to run more smoothly. Things can be hard, but not nearly as hard as they are here. You won't starve even if you don't have money.

@Host

*Adds a few more sticks to the flame before grabbing a thin metal cylinder out of my pocket.
Huh, sounds a lot nicer. Boring, but nicer.

I guess nothing makes my world more regular than yours.

@Host

... I think I was asking about what a non collapsed civilization looks like then. Also I think I've cleared enough space to start the fire once you've found enough rocks.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Sure.
*Starts picking up larger rocks*

@Host

Thanks. *Works on clearing up more of the area where the campfire will be.*
So what is a regular world like?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

We have mountains.

@Host

Done that and it's not bad.
*Has cleared out an area and looks to you real quick.*
Do you want to help me set up camp? I just need a few rocks to go around the fire.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

I guess so. It'd be different if you grew up with something else.

@Host

*Looks up and after a second goes behind an empty bookshelf, setting the sticks down and clearing a spot of ground out.*
That, and I don't think I'd be too comfortable in functioning world like yours. Nothing is as interesting as climbing up an overgrown building to me.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

It probably was. I hate to see it like this.

@Host

I guess I would too if i hadn't grown up with it, but I can't imagine any other way I'd have it be.
*Gets up and starts looking around, picking up any sticks and twigs I find.*

Myriad Reality

*After a few more hours pass I step away from the terminal and sit down on whatever stable thing I can find.* Well it looks like I'm gonna be spending a few nights here.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

I wonder if your world is like mine. Nobody in ours has ever had powers though.

@Host

*Turns to you.* Also after thinking about it, I would bet my world was just like yours before it collapsed.

Myriad Reality

I dunno what's keeping whizz, but I'm gonna get my stuff running again, since waiting is just keeping everything stalled.

Also gonna try and be more active, since I haven't been.
