I wanted to go to the Wall, stupid. I don't care about devices. I only want to know where the docks are. And where Saltpans went.

[There's a slight pause, after which the girl speaking only sounds more agitated.] How can I ask this to explain? It doesn't know anything. You don't, either, if you think this can talk to me. I'll find someone else if you're too stupid to help me. I bet you don't even know what direction north is.

I can't be that much further.

I know it sounds mad but...it's in another world entirely.

[needleofmyown.livejournal.com]

I didn't do anything, though. How could I be anywhere else?

[lionesscouchant.livejournal.com]

This place chooses you, I'm sorry to say.

[needleofmyown.livejournal.com]

How can a place choose someone?

[lionesscouchant.livejournal.com]

The people who run it choose, honestly.

[needleofmyown.livejournal.com]

Who runs it?

[lionesscouchant.livejournal.com]

They're called the deities.

[needleofmyown.livejournal.com]

Then how do I get to them?

[lionesscouchant.livejournal.com]

I think you can ask for them on the Network, but oh, honestly, that's probably a terrible idea. They're not very considerate. They won't care at all.

[needleofmyown.livejournal.com]

Is the Network this? I don't want to speak to them on here, anyway.

[lionesscouchant.livejournal.com]

Yes, this is the Network.

[needleofmyown.livejournal.com]

What if I want to speak to them myself?
