| "Etnetn, please read us the hand's book." An elderly Kai Male said. Etnetn began: "This book was written by Mommy, who is known to other hands as Sara Baker. I am 13 years old, which means I'm an adolescant. Last year I started this world. I live in another world, and what you see of me is only a projection. I had raised other norns and grendels in Albia, before the existance of ettins, so I exp[ected the norns and grendels in this world to be similar, and was curious about the misterious ettins. I soon discovered the original norns were idiots. They were clever and kind as babies, but once they were an our old they became absolute idiots and tended to die early. Also the female's uterus tended to die, leaving them infertile. I got the grendel/ettin selector powerup, and discovered that grendels were kind and slightly smarter, but unfairly placed in this world, and the ettins only ate Deathcap. I increased the intelligence of norns, grendels and ettins, made the doosers and snails edible, and altered the grendel and ettin biochemistry so radiation and glycotoxin made them healthy. Then I discovered that others had set out to create new breeds of norns, grendels and ettins. I went to the Palace of the Evil Shee, where Lis Morris, also known as Evil Shee, gave me many creatures. I got angel norns, created by Evil Shee and Ricardo, and the Kai norns and mernorns by Evil Shee and Wafaru. I went to Wafaru's site and got Scorpio norns as well. From Evil Shee I got Gill norns as well. I got the Boney Grendels from CyberLife, the creater of Albia, who hired Evil Shee to make them. Then I left Albia and my projection stayed, and the norns, grendels and ettins wandered. " Etnetn paused. "My voice is tired." She said, and drank from the pump. "What kind of monetary system do you have?" The Hand said. "What?" The Elderly Kai said. "I meant, how do you decide who gets what?" "By who wants what. There's enough for everyone. We can't eat Deathcap, but the ettins like it. So only ettins get Deathcap. We don't use the fishing rod because the fish are the main source of food for the aquatic ones." "That's a better way than in my world." The Hand said."In my world the powerful ones starve the weak." Mommy pondered. "How are the mernorn babies cared for?" I said: "The ettins and amphibious norns raise them." Mommy said: "I put porcupine puffer fish in, but they seem to have died." "What are they?" A baby scorpio said. "They're fish who rescue drowning norns, and leave the water-breathers alone." "That sounds like a good fish." I said."Is it edible?" "No, but I'm planning to make some that are." Mommy said. "They'll survive being eaten." Etnetn said: "I'm ready to read more." She continued: "When I took control of my projection again, I created backups of all those who'd been born while I was gone. I created Kai norns who were never crowded, and easily became lonely. I also made the adopter Kai, who would adopt baby Kai, and care for them even though they weren't theirs. Then I left again, to get more creatures from other Hands. I got tribal norns, photosynthetic norns, traveler norns and love norns. The tribal norns lived in groups, the photosynthetic norns ate light, the traveler norns went all over Albia and the love norns bred. That was their unique abilities. I returned to Albia and made backups of the new ones again. Then I brought the ones I'd found over to my Albia. I left again, and when I came back made backups of those who were born in while I was gone. I did this repeatedly, then I heard about something which would call me away for much longer. I wrote these books and left. |
