The most what now?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

... Meeeeeh-tuuuuuh? You don't know the word?

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Um... no? Like, I've heard it in other words.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Well, it means what it means in other words, but without the extra stuff tacked on, it's just a more general term.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

For?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Anything?

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

*Watches the base of some of the vines that people are swinging on*

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

It's—wow.

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

I don't see many places like this. Most civilizations trade this for technological luxury. Which is fine, but balancing the two should be more important than it is.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I'm super lost. What does meta mean?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

It's when something mentions itself within itself, like if a book mentioned its own title, or when a character in a movie says the name of a movie.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

So if I said "Abby is a really great gal," that would be meta?

<Snipped quote by Balance>

It sounds like everyone is related.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

So if I said "Abby is a really great gal," that would be meta?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

You don't typically think of it in that context, but I mean, technically, I guess so.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

No, I'm only related to my brother, Soren. I haven't even had a boyfriend here.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

No, that's narcissism. *Sticks out my tongue* Just kidding.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

*The vines seem to move somewhat on their own, moving before people start swinging, carrying them forward*

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Some would like to call this the City of Life, or the City of Light, or even City of Earth, since we are Earth Scribes. But they're all pretentious. This is the City of the Trees. They own it. All the buildings, all the bridges and the platforms and the hollows, they made it. We just live in it.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

So it's just third person? I'm really confused.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Family is still considered family.

Aw man.

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

It's a great place, just on the surface of it, at least. I love it.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

I'm sure you'll keep that opinion. And we do strike that balance you mentioned—you'll see soon. We help the trees as much as they help us. Look: they already have vines for the three of us. *Vines have risen in front of the ledge* Follow me! And have fun! *Jumps over and catches one of the vines, swinging away*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Kinda, but kinda not. I'm probably not the best person to explain this.

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

*Hesitates*

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Aww. Now I'll have to go to a library or something to look it up.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

A phone could be useful for that.
