Yeah. It's usually horses where I'm from. Maybe the city's too noisy for horses to get around without getting startled all the time...

[They probably wouldn't fare too well with cars zipping around them, too, he thinks.]

Or maybe having a person do it makes the rider feel more important.

[He hadn't considered that a horse would get startled. He thought they were similar to moose, which had somehow gotten accustomed to living in the same space as machines. Moose weren't afraid to defend themselves, though...]

Oh.

[But if this guy's pulling the rickshaw, maybe he's ok with it?]

Why's that?

[hardrocklife]

Well... it's like how royals get carted around by manservants and the like.

[dressedtothe]

[Oh! He knows about royalty! They're an important part of civilisations governed by monarchies! The machines had plenty of data on that, and their attempts to recreate them failed every time.]

Hm. I don't get what's so appealing about getting carted around.

[Says the person getting carted around.]

But I guess you get to look around if you're not the one doing the work.

[Says the person who's blindfolded.]

[hardrocklife]

[He casts a glance back, giving him a weird look for that. He can't look around with that blindfold over his eyes... right?]

Uh, yeah. Guess so.

Don't know how many tourists they get here in the underworld, though. The view probably loses its appeal after a while.

[Or he thinks so, anyway, but Zel doesn't have much appreciation for the city to begin with.]
