Boston, Massachusetts [Friday night]

[heroic_jawline]

It's our last night in Boston, everyone! Go out, eat in restaurants, party at clubs, or put on comfortable sweatpants and participate in a reenactment of the Boston Tea Party, where we'll dump fake tea into Boston Harbor!

...um, no one tell Seivarden.

"I...no? Yes?" Jon sighed. "I'm very interested in not killing the planet."

Been there, done that.

"Yes, I understand people on Earth are on their way of doing that," Seivarden said. "Another thing here that makes no sense."

Jon grimaced. "Well, you aren't wrong. Are you...you aren't from Earth, then."

Seivarden actually managed to hold back her first reaction, which was that the suggestion that she even might be was a bit insulting. He probably didn't know better.

"No, I'm from another universe with far more advanced technology where we avoid killing planets and ruining good tea."

Ah, killing planets. As soon as she had said it she realised what it could mean. After a pause, she added:

"Killing planets is... generally frowned upon."

"Generally. That's...that's good, I suppose." Jon sighed. "I should like to say that if we had access to advanced technology, we wouldn't be killing the planet, either, but all it takes is one determined idiot," he added bitterly. "Still, maybe we wouldn't be doing it accidentally, at least."

Garsedd hadn't been accidental.

"I'm not sure that's better," Seivarden said.

Re: Boston Tea Party Ship

Jon laughed bitterly. "Well, no. But it's one fewer thing to worry about. At least it leaves you facing only active malice, instead of active malice and blind stupidity."

He was so optimistic.

"It sounds like you have some experience of both," Seivarden said.

Re: Boston Tea Party Ship

"Unfortunately," Jon said. "My world had both."
