To: All Summoned

[itookashot]

This is the most important question I've had since coming here. I need to get opinions from the rest of you, for science.

Why are all of the Summoned attractive? I have not met a single ugly Summoned and while I do love looking at your gorgeous faces, it seems unusual. Is there an attractiveness requirement? Do they take that into consideration when plucking us out of our universes? Could there be deeper reasons or do they think 'well if they don't help us out, at least they up the beauty curve of our world from a four to a seven'?

I mean, that's what I would do, but I'm interested in other thoughts. Please do not respond to this with false modesty; I know you're pretty, you know you're pretty, this is serious. Unless one of you truly thinks you are unattractive in which case show me a picture if you can and I'll tell you why you're wrong.

Well if you want fancy pets, you don't take the hound with mange and no teeth! You take the one with the shiny coat and clear eyes.

Exactly why I would do it this way, but I'm shallow. Are they shallow too? I might like them better.

Thorne does seem to like pretty things....

Not that I am complaining, as I quite enjoy the views.

The people here are on the whole average, that's why I would say the medium for Free Cities is about a four. Maybe a five, it's not their fault they don't have access to prettier clothes. There's so many Summoned here and I swear you can tell right away because of their faces.

Thorne has a fair amount of pretty folk, I think. And very fine clothing.

Free Cities do seem to be a popular place. Isn't it in the desert? Can't imagine living in a desert.

[itookashot]

Yeah, it's hot. A dry heat. I'm not used to it, I'm used to being in a port city, it always smells like the ocean and usually fish. I'm not sorry about the lack of fish smell though. And definitely not sorry there's no marshes.

[a_better_man]

On the other hand, heat means less clothing! I'd wager you have a more pleasant seasonal view than we in colder climes do right now.

Oh see now that I hate, I hate being cold more than anything. I'd much rather be in a desert than in Fjerda, that's an enemy nation almost always in winter, they have this giant ice prison. And tanks. The tanks are great. The rest not so much.
