They mostly took Erin's word for it because she's come to them with people with weird health requirements before.

I assumed that some one wished for a good welfare systems XD

Being allowed to leave the dreamward for extended periods of time includes Repeated Lectures On How You Really Really Really Do Not Even Just Lie Down And Rest Your Eyes, No, Not Even For A Minute. Small children in the Dreamward setting aren't anxious about sleeping yet; the ones who have cohabitors and have been living outside the dreamward for awhile are definitely conditioned into paranoia.

From Xavier untwins and Linyabell

A genuinely arbitrary rule would say she could sell anything but fudge and earmuffs and that she had to take half a subjective hour off if someone walked in from a place where it was Tuesday.

I am now trying to imagine somebody imposing standard labor laws on Bar: at least some percent of subjective time on break, or no serving people for whom it is Saturday, or something like that.

The subjective time on break and days off would probably get discussed with individual staffers.

Yeah, I imagine Milliways staff have breaks (and completely irregular schedules, given doors), but Bar would neither need nor want them.

I want to know more about Sivath's world

Sivath's world is called Suranse. I invented it with Aestrix.

The basic idea is that there is a planet shaped sort of like a squashed sphere, with two flat sides and a rounded edge. The planet is hollow. Gravity points toward the central layer of the shell, so when you're on the inside it points out and when you're on the outside it points in. There are chasms in the shell, allowing people to pass through; chasms are rare on the flat sides but extremely common around the rim, so most of the light in the interior is coming in through the rim. Also, in the centre of the interior there is a zero-gravity floating jungle.

Oh, and the interior is filled with hostile megafauna.

The outside of the shell is called Ceir, and its inhabitants are Ceirene. The inside is called Aluvanna, and its inhabitants are Aluvai. Because life in Aluvanna is lived under constant hazard of being eaten by giant snakes or similar, and because light levels are so much lower in there, the Aluvai have certain adaptations that the Ceirene don't share. All Aluvai have claws, fangs, and mobile pointed ears. Inner-surface-dwellers have cats' eyes (because they get so little light) and longer claws; jungle-dwellers have blade-tipped prehensile tails (for better maneuvering and an extra weapon), shorter claws (better adapted to grasping branches and vines), longer toes (again with the climbing adaptations) and a less humanlike posture (because you don't do much walking upright without gravity). By contrast, Ceirene are pretty much normal humans.

Also some people have wings and are immortal.

Also they were recently invaded by aliens and everyone is very upset about it.

And how are the wings related to the Spheres related to the capitalized Unfaded?

Also, to answer the White Untwins’ question, that is not how Newtonian gravity works. I’m not sure exactly what Newtonian gravity would do inside the planet, but it would be microgravity even near the surface and would not be outward everywhere, unless I am really making a mistake in dealing with the planet not being a perfect sphere.

The people that have wings and are immortal also get pocket dimensions (called Spheres) that they can make static portals to and from. They don't get conscious control of the pocket dimension, though what's in it is based on something they would like. Something that is appropriate for them, that they would find comforting, etc. As they get older, their pocket dimension gets bigger. Other people can visit or move there, though both winged people must agree to a portal if they make a portal between one Sphere and another, unless one winged person is dead. They are the type of immortal that doesn't age, not the type that can't be killed.

Unfaded is the Ceirene term for winged people, referencing the immortality.
