For all the similarities between them, and Jedao feels they are many, their universes are worlds apart on many matters. From the regularly identifiable military terms—even R&R is common across universes, for how much his universe seems uniquely different from those of people he's met here—to her seeming dismissal of sex as important. You could get any kind of porn you wanted in the Kel. Seriously, he never found the outer limit of what types were available, even if he hadn't been paying attention to them when using them as cover for grid diving.
"The whole place exists because of Lore," Jedao says, "If no one, not Star Children, not spirits, not anyone, generated Lore anymore, they would fade away to nothing, so the lowercase l lore of this place suggests, and in due time Folkmore itself. Lore is more than the currency of the realm. It's the stuff the realm is made of. The first fuck lightning happened with the earliest known arrival of Star Children. Perhaps it was costly to bring people here all at once, and the place needed an infusion of Lore. The second happened a couple months before the creation or revelation of the ocean and Tides. Perhaps fuck lightning helped pay for Tides existence."
It's all supposition. Guesswork. A theory that would explain things, but Jedao doesn't know any more, in the end, than any other Star Child. Leaders like Thirteen-zho aren't so easy to read in their plans and machinations or they wouldn't get where they are. Jedao shrugs. "I started off a paranoid near hermit, and I nearly faded away. Should the same befall you, you can reach out to me if you want. I'm ~justafox on the network."
His smile is wide with silent laughter at her pun. It may not be the best joke, it may not even be a very good joke, but Jedao like Maleficent for trying. "Not terribly common, but not terribly uncommon either. Quite a few people replied when someone made a network post asking about such things, and surely more didn't reply. In any case, someone has to be first."
