A question. [Cloud says it like it's punctuated with "for you strange people."]


If you don't have a Lifestream keeping your Planet alive, what's holding it together?

I dunno. I mean, if they crashed on the Planet then there has to be at least pieces of ships somewhere, right? It sounds like it would be easier to leave than it would to try and make a desert Planet have water naturally.

I've... never heard of people findin' ship pieces before...

But they gotta be around somewhere, right?

[Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Well yeah. If people made it down to the Planet safely they've got to be somewhere, right?

Re: [Voice]

[not-a-blueskid.livejournal.com]

Huh, but what if they just went and used 'em to make houses and stuff...

[Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Then...you tear the houses down, I guess.

Re: [Voice]

[not-a-blueskid.livejournal.com]

... But then, what'll we live in?

[Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

I dunno, the rockets?

Re: [Voice]

[not-a-blueskid.livejournal.com]

But we'd have t'wait 'til the rockets're built.

[SERIOUSLY CLOUD. I'm a kid I can do this all day.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Then live in a tent.

[Pfffft, he can't help but grin. This guy's trying, at least.]

...as long as they can survive the sandstorms and giant worms.

[Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Well, get a really sturdy tent.

[cloud that is a crappy solution]

Re: [Voice]

[notablueskid.livejournal.com]

... That's a kinda crappy solution...

[Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

It is not. I've camped out in a desert with a tent before.

Re: [Voice]

[not-a-blueskid.livejournal.com]

Really? How was it for ya'?

[Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

It sucked. It was awful. The sand got into everything. I had grit in my hair for a month.

Re: [Voice]

[not-a-blueskid.livejournal.com]

...How long didja have to camp out?

[Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

A week-ish. I dunno, I lost track of the days.

Re: [Voice]

[not-a-blueskid.livejournal.com]

[He snickers a little laugh out.]

Just a week? That ain't so bad! 'Sides, you get used to the dirt in your hair after a few years...

[Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Well look, see? If you're so used to it why are you being such a sissy about it. Live in a tent for a few weeks, build a rocket and get the hel- heck out of dodge.

Re: [Voice]

[not-a-blueskid.livejournal.com]

Psht, I don't even have a tent—I live out on the streets. The problem is everything else. Mainly stupid adults who like t'cause trouble. Just about half the people back home are bandits, it seems. I can't even count the number of places got destroyed by outlaws.

...Why d'you think things can be so simple, anyway? Shouldn't a adult know things're never simple?

[Voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

I'm actually in the process of getting out of that mindset.

Sure, things aren't simple but you aren't doing yourself any favors by complicating already complicated things.
