#sparrow speaks #parkour civ #parkour civilization #evbo #parkciv #I wish this was a joke #I also had another bit but I think this half thought out shitty connection is better #uhh I know parkour as a form of currency is iffy for most of the series as they use parkour for other things but still #the other bit was going to be talking about the world building implications of evbo not fully understanding how to read the pakrour langaug #and question if they speak in parkour or not #because we either have- parkour as a dying language few still know how to read or- we go with the idea of literacy itself being something #not really taught to the noobs #which works slightly better with the capitalism thing but still
