[This was an inevitable happening.]

Like we can't just grow children in petri dishes... So you put aside some eggs for the unfortunate day you decide you want an organism of your own, and sterilize yourself in the meantime. Problem solved.

[Don't even need men involved, not that Carla would advocate a purely lesbian society.]

Although I wouldn't trust anyone here to be clean on a first glance, none of you keep your papers on you which should be routine, so the condoms are probably a good idea too. At least until you've taken a family trip to the doctor's office. It might save time to do it as a group, rather than waiting on everyone individually... Maybe that takes some of the spontaneity out of it, but you'll have more options in a group. Exponentially more. It probably makes up for it, when you get down to it.

[Thus concludes sex-ed with Carla... Get sterilized, use condoms, get tested, have orgies.]

If the process is is safe for the child, it seems as though the mother would incur less risks to her health that way, so it would be preferable.

People tend to be resistant to change and new technology.

They're fearful and they're ignorant.

I believe those are the common causes of such resistance, yes.

People tend to attach a great deal of sentimentality and irrationality to matters of sexuality and procreation.

[dignity_misery]

You believe so?

[She laughs. It was right in front of their eyes, what was there to question?]

[He smiles faintly, disrupting his usual deadpan delivery for a moment.]

Yes, it was obvious enough, so what could I do but agree?

I guess they teach you to bite your tongue in the military.

I prefer to be circumspect. Not all in the military are. Those in my organization have more freedom than most.

What is it you do, in your world?

[dignity_misery]

I used to carve prints, and paint.

An artist. [It's a neutral statement. He has little experience with artists.] You don't do so anymore?


[[ooc: Sorry for the lateness! I belatedly realized that I'd have to make a tracking post to keep up with threads here.]]

[dignity_misery]

No. I lost my touch for it.

[By which she means she was shot in the head.]

[Sephiroth doesn't know artists, but he knows their reputation for being temperamental, so he assumes this is not unusual.]

And what is it you do here, if you no longer make art?

[video]

[dignity_misery]

I shelve books.

[The library was a little strange and apparently needed all the help it could get.]
