The snowglobe things didn't stay around that long, but it was really nice to get to see a little bit of home! I didn't think they would melt like that, though. It was sort of surprising... I wish I could have kept it a little bit longer. I'm really curious what all the rest of them looked like, though! What was in everybody's world?

My home.

[ Pause ]

You didn't see them at the Newcomer Center? Many had been collected there.

[quackery]

What was it like?

See them? Oh, I did, I got mine!

[longaevus]

Seeing it again? It was pleasant.

[quackery]

What was your home like?

[longaevus]

Busy. [ There wasn't quite one way to put it ] It was the home from my childhood.

[quackery]

But busy in a happy way, right?

[longaevus]

Certainly so, yes.

[quackery]

What kind of stuff were you busy with?

[longaevus]

It was actually my father that was busy. He's a doctor, people used to frequently visit to see him. [ Professional and medical capacities ]

[quackery]

Oh! He must have been really good then, huh?

[longaevus]

The best that I've known.

[quackery]

I bet he helped a bunch of people.

[longaevus]

He did. He lead the way for a lot of medicines that we now have.

[quackery]

What kind of medicine?

[longaevus]

A lot that then was considered experimental, particularly concering microorganisms.

[quackery]

What's a... microorganism? [The word is stumbled over, as she's never heard it before.]
