I'm curious. Have any of the pod people (we really must find a more dignified name for ourselves) died here? I know there's been a lot of death, but with people vanishing and reappearing, I'm just wondering what happens if someone dies while they're here. Especially since Simon and I aren't even from the same time. I've been through things with him that he doesn't remember because they haven't happened for him yet.
Either you're quite skilled at conveying calmness through your writing, or you don't find the notion of telepathic individuals to be entirely unusual. I've only met one in my time and most people wouldn't believe it if I told them.
I'm a trained Companion. It's a highly respected position, similar in some ways to geishas from Earth-that-was. The less informed would call us prostitutes, but love play is only one of the many skills we employ. Hence my familiarity with contraceptives.
