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.

DAMN that would have been very helpful. I'm going to be old before I have enough money to buy a good one.

[funbreaker]

Not necessarily. You may need to ingratiate yourself with someone who has access to the necessary resources, however.

[itookashot]

Someone is going to need a hired gun enough to give me one. I just need to have faith. Also maybe shoot some things because they will hire me the second they see me shoot.

[funbreaker]

That confident in your abilities, are you? If you're that good, I'm certain you'll find a means of obtaining one.

[itookashot]

Yep. Next time we get a chance to meet up, I'll show you!

[funbreaker]

There is always the Horizon, though I understand it's not quite the same. I imagine that in there, you could simply will all of your shots to hit true.

[ Which means it's cheating, isn't it? ]

[itookashot]

We could always try to promise that we're not willing our shots.

[ It's absolutely cheating and he sometimes does that. ]

[funbreaker]

Ah, but can I trust you?

[itookashot]

You don't think I'm trustworthy? I'm heartbroken, Thancred. I thought we had something special.

[funbreaker]

How quickly do you come to trust others in your fair city of Ketterdam, may I ask?

[itookashot]

Oh it's never a good idea to trust anyone from Ketterdam.

I still do have an impressive shooting range in my Horizon if you want to get it out of your system.

[funbreaker]

That sounds tempting. I'll have to make a point of coming by, then.

And in the meantime, good luck with your investigation into our collective good looks.

[itookashot]

I'm very confident that my thesis will be confirmed. I'm going Horizon wandering.
