Great, I've lost it!

[colony_brat]

Would someone please tell me what in the hell's goin' on here? I know I haven't been sleepin' or eatin' well for a while, but this is ridiculous. I'd have to be up for a week ta hallucinate. It's not just me, right? Naw, there's too much chatter for that. Unless I'm imagin' that too.

Hijiri? Bunny? I think I need ta go ta bed and I think I need someone ta check my head. I might be bleedin' into my brain or something.

...So first you threaten me and then you offer food? I'm almost tempted to wonder if you're planning to poison me.

[colony_brat]

What can I say? I'm an odd guy. I'm Duo Maxwell who may run and hide, but never tells a lie. Ask 'round if ya don't wanna believe me. I'm not gunna poison you. 'least for now. Sasarai would be pissed and I really don't wanna piss him off.

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

...Right. Well, I'm...probably not going to take up your offer anyway. The Bishop isn't exactly someone I can trust to hold you back.

[colony_brat]

[snorts] He's one of the few. I've seen what he can do and I REALLY don't wanna see that directed at me. besides, I don't upset my friends if I can avoid it and he said he didn't want me killin' ya so there ya go. If you guys are gunna be friendly, then I gotta be friendly.

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

Ha. I'm not sure what your idea of friendly is, and I don't trust him for anything, but as long as you're not handing out death threats anymore I guess there's no reason for me to argue with it.

[colony_brat]

Well, in this case, think it'll be not tryin' ta kill each other. Maybe tryin' ta patch things up between ya too. Just 'cause youre lives are fucked up doesn't mean ya can't try ta act like family or at least friends. 'least I think that's how it's s'pposed ta go, but what do I know?

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

I doubt we could be friends. Ever.

[colony_brat]

Yeah well, ya probably don't anyone could live in space above the Earth, not settin' foot on it for the first fifteen years of life.

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

...Space?

[colony_brat]

Forgot ya wouldn't understand that. Look up. Space is beyond the Earth, up really high where there is no air, and it goes on and on practically forever. We live in metal wheels that float 'round the Earth.

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

That's...really hard to believe. For one thing, I'm not sure how you'd be able to survive without air.

[colony_brat]

Can't. I turn blue just like you would. We make air. Well, recyle it mostly. Seal the place, fill it with air, and recycle it. Works pretty well.

[At least talking about something familiar to him is making him feel better when everything else around him seems to be crazy.]

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

...You know, I can understand teleportation and prophecies and things like that, but recycled air just sounds weird.

[colony_brat]

[snorts] You're startin' ta know how I feel almost all the time here. Then again, I gotta teleport with a friend a mine. 's pretty sweet. Fun too. We recycle just 'bout everythin' there. Took me a while ta get used ta fresh air and water.

(ooc: It really is a shame Duo won't remember this conversation later.)

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

You must come from a really weird place then, if nature apparently doesn't exist.

[[They'll have to meet each other for the first time again...haha.]]

[colony_brat]

Sure it does. The nice colonies have gardens and everythin'. Earth's still there. Some of us just don't live there.

(ooc: At least Duo won't feel like trying to kill him the next time. He'll just be growly and suspicious.)

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

So people left the planet for a change of scenery? I guess it would be pretty interesting...

[[That's definitely an improvement! Luc won't be as wary of him.]]

[colony_brat]

More like, we left ta get more space. There's a lotta people on Earth and not a lotta room ta live. 's better not ta crowd the Earth.

(ooc: No more worry about poison pizza.)

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

...You somehow managed to overpopulate the planet.

[colony_brat]

Well I didn't do it. 'sides, it's nice not bein' too crowded. There's actually open space on Earth, fields and stuff. 's nice.

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

Considering most everything I know of my own world consists of 'fields and stuff,' you'll have to forgive me if I don't quite understand how nice you think it is.

[colony_brat]

Well, look up at the sky and think 'bout how it feels ta never be there. Ta never enjoy how free it is. Imagine never having such clean air ta breathe and when ya finally get there, it's all beautiful. Might help ya get the idea.

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

I guess it makes sense, if you put it that way.

[colony_brat]

There, now ya get it. Can I go back ta bangin' my head on the table now? Then again, talkin' 'bout space kinda makes me feel better.

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

Go right ahead, I'm not stopping you. Though it probably won't help you unless you manage to give yourself a concussion.

If you'd rather talk then good for you.
