26th Edition :: The angel of the Eastern Gate put his wings over his head to shield himself

It's pouring, absolutely.

Really, rain always makes me a tad nostalgic-- not for better times, I wouldn't say. But nostalgic nonetheless. That does keep it from seeming dreary, at least. Though this is a bit excessive. Not as bad as it could be, provided it dries up relatively soon. Then again with this City one never knows what madness ( Read more... )

The last time I saw it rain this much outside of a tropical ecosystem, they were panicking and building an ark. Unpleasant doesn't begin to describe this weather. I hate it when my hair gets all wet and drippy and loses all its spring.

I was trying to avoid that particular allusion, given the lack of large boats available in the City.

winewomenand April 24 2009, 00:34:50 UTC

I love a good allusion.

The population here is still at least sixty-per-cent human, probably some eighty-per-cent might as well be human. If they need a boat, I'm sure they'll build one out of something. That's what they do.

mr_phale April 24 2009, 00:38:33 UTC

Not all of them will. I seem to remember that being the point of the story.

Of course, we're not quite there, yet, and most people seem to share your concern for their coiffure.

Nostalgic? Really now.

mr_phale April 24 2009, 01:01:49 UTC

You know what I mean.

itsjustafruit April 24 2009, 01:02:41 UTC

Feeling like a marathon swim are we?

mr_phale April 24 2009, 01:13:27 UTC

Hardly.

Really, given how unpleasant most people find this weather, I'm surprised you aren't thrilled by it.

It reminds me of home.

mr_phale April 24 2009, 01:03:49 UTC

Oh?

malleableworld April 24 2009, 01:04:45 UTC

I lived in Oregon.

mr_phale April 24 2009, 01:14:28 UTC

Ah, I must say I've never been. I'll leap to the conclusion that it's damp.

onlyteasing April 24 2009, 02:05:52 UTC

Oh? You think the rain makes things less dreary?

mr_phale April 24 2009, 06:08:15 UTC

Er... No, not exactly-- feeling nostalgic makes me feel less dreary.

Ah... I was, er, lucky enough not to be affected by that one. I hope it wasn't too unpleasant for you.

It's... well, yes. Between you and I? I wouldn't worry about building an ark just yet, but it might not be a bad thing to... keep in the back of your mind, you know?

mr_phale April 24 2009, 06:25:05 UTC

Well, then, that's a blessing.

Really, it's not nearly that bad yet, but... one never knows, hmm? I don't expect it. Er-- not... precisely their style, you know.
