III - Seasons in the sun

Jan 31, 2011 17:47

[Desolation. Just a couple of days ago, the place where Jotaro is now standing was a lovely golden beach, sun and sand and water. Now it isn't anymore: there's only the electric fence, and the dark Wastes beyond, and Jotaro, one hand in his pocket, the other holding the PCD as he glances down at it.

However, some of them repeat themselves once a year, I was told. The beach already appeared here at the same time last year. So maybe next year...

[No need to say it - it's the first thing he thinks, pessimist that he is.]

They're not normally any good are they.

If you ask me, I'd tend to say they're not. But I've noticed it's quite a relative notion here. Some events are generally liked or inversely despised. But for some other events, it seems more debatable.

You found this last one good, didn't you?

It was nice. Warm... interesting.

Tell me about a few more will you.

Wait long enough and it'll show up again.

It was there once before, after all.

istoppedtime January 31 2011, 21:08:39 UTC

Do they usually cycle back?

law_of_reason January 31 2011, 21:11:25 UTC

Depends on how loosely you define 'usually.' There's the occasional repetition.

istoppedtime January 31 2011, 21:18:37 UTC

It's better than nothing.

It might show up again.

Re: [Video] istoppedtime January 31 2011, 21:09:52 UTC

Hm. Things do that sometimes.

[Double meaning? Surely not.]

[Video] showchoirstar January 31 2011, 21:11:04 UTC

They do.

So you should stop making that face.

[... ouch.]

Yeah yeah.

[Watch him turn to leave the fence, though. Good girl, Rachel.]

It was nice. [He sounds casual, noncommittal, before quietly adding: Warm.

It was interesting. Living things, too... wouldn't have expected that.

I kind of wish it could, too.

[Video] istoppedtime January 31 2011, 21:15:51 UTC

Can't have it all.

[Another hard life lesson imparted.]

Re: [Video] buntails January 31 2011, 21:18:15 UTC

But we had fun while it was here, so it's alright.

[Video] istoppedtime January 31 2011, 21:21:23 UTC

Hm.

[That's as close as you're gonna get to cheered up from him.]

Only got started looking at the ecosystem. Shame.
