"Course I do. An' I already gave you directions, too. You just have to want to go somewhere, then you go. Only gets tricky when you ain't quite sure what you want, or someone else wants something different "

[~Neri]

"Another question is 'Why Amish Hell?' There are numerous other, far more pleasant scenarios you could design. Why exactly did you pick Amish Hell?"

[WillowLuman]

He chuckles. "There's a whole heap of answers I could give you there. Y'might call it a side effect o' what lets those of the forest rest in peace. Y'might say it's the kind of life that best helps most smaller folk find their own peace. Though in the end, the scenario don't matter for that. Y'might call that a sort a' entropy, where consciousness here works that any state but happiness ain't stable, an' must give way eventually. Or y'might just ascribe the look of it to personal preference. All them answers is true, one way or another. "

[~Neri]

"It is very possible to lock in a state of consciousness. By definition that would make something stable in what you claim to be an unstable environment."

[WillowLuman]

"Ain't a matter of locked or not, or if you believe it or not, or if y'know it's happenin' or not. 'S just how it works here. 'Spose it won't happen if y'stay here arguin' against it forever, an' yer welcome to if y'want, but I reckon y'got things to do that ain't at my little treehouse here."

"Where's the Traveller, anyway?"

[wipeout1024]

"Where did he go?"

[~Neri]

"I am more than capable of arguing with you forever. It is not something I would get bored of."

[TheBiggerFish]

"I don't think that's how it works..."

[WillowLuman]

"Well, he's welcome to if he wants. I don't mind none. But I reckon he'd prefer to keep lookin' for a way back to where he came from."

"Where's the Traveller, anyway?"

"Where did he go?"

"Yes, that's rather puzzling. I remember now that bursting tree, and I remember too all of us setting out to look for this ship of his, and yet he seems entirely absent from the second set. Why is he not with us?"

He looks thoughtful. "There was some difference between him and y'all. Maybe in kind, as in he could be of them that's best off dreamin' here. Or maybe it was just a difference in where y'wanted to go. "

[wipeout1024]

"Well, let us start thinking about what he might have been thinking about."

[FallacyofUrist]

"The first is obvious: his ship."

[WillowLuman]

"Were we not all setting out to look for it at that time, though?"

[wipeout1024]

"Well, where else could he have wanted to go? What did he want?"

[TheBiggerFish]

"Why not just look for him?"
