This is tiresome. I am tired of being sent to strange realms. I want to go home.

I do not expect that any of you will be able to assist with that request, so perhaps you will aid me in a smaller one. I do not wish to live in a suite of muggle rooms powered by muggle electricks and with a view of open space that reminds me how perilously close I am to certain death.

Is there a real house anywhere? A house alone, preferably in a field of real grass? I am not in a position to be demanding. A cottage would do. Even a barn. I do not know who owns the land here, such as it is, but I can pay in the muggle dollars.

	Uh... Hi. No, there's no way home, not unless it's through a door. I understand your frustration. And, you can pick any apartment you want as long as it isn't taken. We don't really have a currency here. Besides favors, I guess. ~~fucking hell, muggle... Are you fro~~ (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That is as I expected. It isn't your fault, sir. It is just my misfortune, but as I said, I cannot stay in these apartments. They will not do. I require a private home at a distance from others, so that I can ensure it is properly protected. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A. Never call me sir again. Please. I'm not that old. My name is Blank. Nice to meet ya! B. What Jake said: you can make your own place or amp up one of the apartments or hotel rooms to your liking. We use magic and advanced tech here regularly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As you like, but I consider it decidedly unfair of someone to get cross over a fellow trying to be polite to his elders. My name is Black. ~~I'm aware. The 'tech' is just the problem.~~ I shall see about having something built, then. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not cross with ya, kid. Just stating facts. I appreciate you being polite. But save that sort of thing for my dad, he's 4,000 years old, I'm in my 30's. Again, it's nice to meet you, Black. Welcome. If you want, I know someone who can build you something. He made my home; Bel Amour. Though he may try to give you a robot cat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

~~If I were disrespectful to people in their thirties at home I'd~~ Is your father an ancient vampire? Very well. I'll try to curb the courtesies, if in that same spirit you'll not call me kid? I don't care for that. I'm pleased to make your acquaintance, Blank!

Did you name it? It sounds French. It's decent of you to offer but I think I have settled on something now, and that may be for the best as in my exerience neither robots nor cats like me much.

	Even if the economy here is decidedly primitive, not having a currency, surely you all must have some notion of trade and of specialisation of labour? Building it myself is going to be terribly inefficient, to say the least. I shall see what I can arrange for. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	How are you at creating pocket dimensions? Or at the very least, accessing them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you think of the observable universe like a coat, a pocket dimension would be like a pocket. I could create, or help you create one of your own and attach it to your doorway. You could change the space within to be anything you like, even a cottage in a meadow or whatever the kids are into these days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Muggle? You are from my parents' world! You must be. I'm Gen, hi. Jake has already pointed you in the right direction. Some have built cottages here. (Reply to this) (Thread)
