[debrief]

I'm aware that yesterday's curse was about the prenups more than the actual marriage, but it still made me wonder:

What are your thoughts on relationships in the City, given that people might leave at any time, or return without memories? Not necessarily romantic relationships only; I'm sure the lack of stability has a similar effect on friendships.

You own a city?

[rianofski]

I do. I found myself generally dissatisfied with the cities and countries I experienced, and built my own. It's a remarkable place.

[debrief]

You must have made quite some money as an industrialist.

[rianofski]

I found myself in various industries at the right time. It was lucrative, yes.

[debrief]

What kind of industries, if you don't mind me asking?

[rianofski]

[Andrew never minds talking about himself!]

Railroads, steel, and oil, mostly, though I've recently branched out into weaponry.

[debrief]

What kind of weaponry?

[rianofski]

An assortment. I'm particularly interested in weaponry that can function automatically, like motion or heat sensitive turrets.

[debrief]

What time are you from?

[rianofski]

1959. Why?

[debrief]

In my world and time, such weapons exist.

[rianofski]

I imagine they do. And thanks to me, they exist in my time, as well.

[debrief]

I see.
