No, seriously, I wouldn't let anything happen to Jack. He's my best bro.

So is the plumbing working or should I be prepared to do things camping out style?

[disdainfully]

It's a dwarven mountain.

The plumbing is more reliable than human plumbing, judging by what I've seen so far, and we installed electricity - the capacity is a bit limited, so no electric heating. There are internet options, and we're still working on mobile signal.

...Well, it's not like I could know that dude. It's a fair question.

Okay, good to know. I guess I'll have to head out to a cafe or something to do work. I need the internet for that, but that's cool. Um...

[He hesitates.]

So, like... would I have to live deep down in there?

[disdainfully]

You could have remembered it by now.

We have internet. Just no signal for your mobile, so as long as you use skype, you can even phone from here. [Stop implying that their little colony isn't well equipped :||||| aka sounding a bit irate.

Or anything but a nice place to live.] It's above ground. There's just a lot of stone still above you. We haven't yet ventured much below the level of the ground of the city.

[arrowpoint]

Well, yeah, I guess technically it's above ground just...

[Sigh. It's not like he wanted to admit it or offend the the person in charge of where he'd be living.]

No offence to you or your mountain, but I get like, claustrophobic or something if I can't see light. It freaks me out.

Sunlight, I assume? It's like being in a very large building but too far inside to see real windows - think of a ballroom or entrance hall in one of the upper-class hotels in Locke, or the gambling halls here in Las Vegas, or a movie theatre.
