#ThroughTheCracks: Depends. If you mean compensated work, then that's not how the ALCEFS operates. Compensating for work done means withholding from those who don't or can't work, and the ALCEFS doesn't think that's right.

#ThroughTheCracks: Skylar could order whatever clothes they want, but handmade clothes are always more special. They might do a little sewing? Or if someone they know sewed them something as a gift, it'd quickly become their favourite outfit.

That would be Kye from #ThroughTheCracks. Living his best life in the ALCEFS, chilling out in his own private mansion with a private indoor competition-sized swimming pool?

#ThroughTheCracks: Escape Capitalism requires strategy, ability to resist temptation and (at least in the multiplayer version we discussed) teamwork.

#InReverse: Meg will compare herself to Ed out of jealousy. The whole thing may be a bit of a misunderstanding.

#ThroughTheCracks: I suppose, as a PostEk, Skylar compares themself to everyone, putting themself in each of their places.

#ThroughTheCracks: Kye Peterson is famous for having won the ALCEFS-wide swimming competition eight years in a row. He retired the next year. That was around 50 years before the story starts.

#ThroughTheCracks: Skylar likes long hikes, and should be pretty good at endurance. Marathons, mountain biking, cross country skiing, that sort of thing. They might take it at a leisurely pace, but they'll make it to the end.

I could justify Foroug's sword as having previously been a gladitor sword that was later enchanted...

#ThroughTheCracks: Some people have some pretty advanced VR gaming setups, though most of the technology I'm imagining for them either exists now or likely will within the 21st century.

#ThroughTheCracks: Skylar is another curious character. They like to research things beyond the curriculum they teach. They've done as much research as a layperson can on quantum gravity, for example.

#TheDragonblood: Our ball game yesterday is played in opposing teams.

#ThroughTheCracks: Let's build a coop game for the ALCEFS!

For Harriet, that goal is to save the one she loves. For Meg, I think she's mostly following along at the moment, and don't know if she's figured out her goal yet.

#ThroughTheCracks: Skylar tries not to make promises so they never have to break one.

#ThroughTheCracks: There are various competitions in the ALCEFS for all sorts of sports. For example, Kye is a swimming competition champion.

#ThroughTheCracks: Let's invent a Europan alien food chain! Names are all very tentative. Probably, there are multiple Europan worm-like beings, for example, but for today, I'll just call one the Europan worm. I'm only building one food chain today.

This does not mean Teodora can hit a Soul Devourer they can't see with a longsword they can barely lift... Yes, we do see Teodora miss in that situation.

Madison from #ThroughTheCracks may have played enough VR shooters to be a decent shot, too.

But let's go with Teodora today.

#ThroughTheCracks: Current board games might still be around. Certainly the classics, like chess and go, are.

But plenty of new ones have arisen! Anyone can design their own board games, and submit them for the public to order and play.

Harriet also wears glasses, if you're counting that.

Andrea wears earrings and a nose ring.

#ThroughTheCracks: I haven't pictured Skylar as having any jewelry.

I'll probably get Aimetor to join the D&D group, eventually.

#InReverse: Harriet goes rock climbing. She probably has a climbing partner, likely Meg, or possibly Ed or Andrea.

#ThroughTheCracks: Skylar likes coop boardgames.

Their cousin Madison plays VR games, including shooters.

Harriet will be joining her even though for her, it's evening.

#ThroughTheCracks: Skylar is stopping by the grocery store to pick up some ingredients! Then maybe they'll ask Felix if they can use their kitchen.

Felix might have to switch plans and partake in some of Skylar's cooking.

#ThroughTheCracks: The rise in AI after the Third AI Winter brought about an art movement focused on doing it yourself by hand. Many old handicrafts were revived, such as hand-spinning, hand-stitching, basket weaving, paper making and blacksmithing.

Not exactly a lot of planning.

#ThroughTheCracks: Skylar is mostly a planner, I think, but I'll have to see where their story goes.
