I can’t say I haven’t wondered where I or my copies go if they die. I wonder whether we go anywhere. Or if it would change when the last copy died.

*As we continue talking, the waiter reappears and with a flourish of mastering his four arms like a ballet dancer serves our food in style*

Waiter: Food's up good sirs! Again if you need anything, just click your fingers and i'll be right up!

Here is the root vegetable salad with roasted seasonal greens!


And here is your Terran Liberty Stake and the side of fries as asked,



And the Bulvonian grill with the traditional Planet Tempera's Tropical side salad as requested!

Plurality just means that it's a higher percent than the rest of the others. For instance, higher than soda.

@Memory

The more you know, ey? Man!... *I suddenly turn all calm for no known reason - aside from the natural calming energy of Cientryss* This is Heaven... like... for real, for real! I always used to think these were just fairy tales people told themselves to be able to cope with the fact that we all die eventually. But c'mon... *I keep looking around and at and through the windows bewildered*

It just means whether the percent of people who order water is higher than the percent of people who order any other particular drink. Nothing all that complex. But sure, I may be able to show you some of the worlds I visit.

@Memory

30% of the totality of customers in the general restaurant culture? Usually means less than the majority...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

That's a pretty sizeable percentage, no? Any chance that's a plurality?

@Memory

huh?... what?... boy you sure do sound like an alien my guy... plurality? as in more than one person? If that's what you're asking then yes! yes more people do ask for just water... wha...? have you never asked these questions.... you know what? i sure do have to see the worlds you went and explored before mine. Unusual as f!

Is it uncommon where you’re from to drink water alone when offered? I’m not opposed to other drinks, but water alone is the most common pairing for me.

@Memory

When you are at a restaurant... yes, actually, pretty uncommon... tis either beer, stronger alcohols such as wines or whisky, sodas... plain fruit juices... but about 30% of people do just get water.

Water works for me, thank you. I like this system you have here.

@Memory

Waiter: *Smiles warmly* Your order will be up in but a few minutes sirs! *Vanishes in light again*

Pre-Uplifting Soldier Boy: *Look at you with a raised eyebrow* Seriously? No drink? nothing? Not even a juice or something?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

That makes sense. Thank you for your help.

@Memory

Waiter: Before i leave, I noted the whisky here, but any drink for you also or will the water be enough?

Pre-Uplifting Soldier Boy: Wait... so if i'm getting things straigh here... is all of this free here?

Waiter: But ofcourse! This is heaven, all the burdens of mortal life are relegated for the mortal realms, purgatory and hell...

Pre-Uplifting Soldier Boy: huh...

*Smiles*
I’ll go with a root vegetable salad with roasted seasonal greens.

@Memory

Waiter: Certainly good sirs, if that will be all?

Pre-Uplifting Soldier Boy: Yeah, a bottle of your finest whisky! Also why are there no prices anywhere on the menu? All i see is this star symbol where prices should be...

Waiter: Certainly, the star symbolizes the gratitude to God for the blessing of heaven, the privilege of being his image bearers - i.e. the soul and sentience - and the blessings of eternal life - Heaven and reincarnation. Also it is a way of saying that working for him in any fashion - I.E. charity, earns us all good karma.

Pre-Uplifting Soldier Boy: My brain hurts right now... forget i asked...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

In any case—
*Closes my menu*
Same here.
*Clicks my fingers*

@Memory

*Waiter proceeds to manifest out of light again*

Waiter: Good sirs! Have you decided then i take it?

Pre-Uplifting Soldier Boy: Uh... Yes! Can you please get me the liberty steak platter since i see you have quite the detailed menu? Oh and a side dish of potato fries! *I grin then i look you over and remember the comfort zone comment - i sigh* i'm probably going to regret this *I speak under my breath whispering* Would you please also get me a... what was it... Bulvonian grill with it's traditional salad on the side?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

Ah.
*Quietly flips the page*
And you had the guts to criticize my palette.

@Memory

Yup, i criticize the stuff i don't like openly, if people can't take it, it's their problem, not mine. *I close the menu* Decided! *I proceed to snap my fingers*
