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?

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

... 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.]

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.

Well, get a really sturdy tent.

[cloud that is a crappy solution]

Re: [Voice]

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

[Voice]

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]

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.
