Re: On the streets from downtown to the bunker

[velesdonnersen]

My dear, I can do better for you that that. Even here. Even now. I still have enough wish-spark to make a big canvas tarp. If we use that to block off the pantry in the dinner, we've got a superb private room small enough to heat or cool easily for now. Or we can just sleep int the pantry and i'll use tonight's remaining energy to dream up as large a container of clean water as possible.

Water is going to be an issue, yes.

[ She straightens up, and heads down the road. ]

Big project for tomorrow for me is going to be a sanitation unit, I guess.

I don't think it's likely Annie left us without reliable water sources, or without a way beyond wishing to have food. So there will be a workable answer.

And if there's a workable answer, I can always improve it!

Oh, I don't think she would have done that intentionally, but I get the feeling she was rushed, here.

You know, they were building water reclamation plants for some places, instead of just waste treatment.

I didn't know -- that must be your world, not mine. But it's a good idea.

I still think there's probably a reliable water source. This is clearly built on a template of Mayfield, and only a fool fails to plan the basic necessities first before anything else. If she got as far as buildings, I suspect she'd already taken care of energy and necessary survival factors like air, water, and nutrition.

I'm thinking... since this is a closed system, even if there is additional energy provided...

[ Ilsa walks along, deep in thought. ]

Okay, so - both in physics and thaumaics, there is the law of conservation of energy. Basically, energy can be neither created nor destroyed. It can change state, but it's still there, yes?

[He has to work on this. Europan Science already warped earth-style laws of physics. Then there's another little problem.]

That might be true in your parent-world, with your physics. Mayfield, however, isn't a real world. It's a construct world. Energy rates have simply lever been logical, consistent, or mathematically predictable.

Re: On the streets from downtown to the bunker

[ooeeooahah]

Yes, it is constructed. But Annie gave us a warning - even if it lasts a while, the system is finite. I mean, look at what we were able to do today. We were able to create something out of apparently thin air, but only have enough for a certain number of world-changing actions.

[ Nope, she is not going to call them wishes, ever. ]

Maybe it's the way I was taught, but I'd rather do as much as I can with the least amount. That's why I keep leaning towards using the efforts only for things we can't create from found materials.
