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.

...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.

[colony_brat]

I could do that. Actually, might not be a good idea ta bash my head unconscious.

Yeah well, I'm good at talkin'. I'd ask ya 'bout stuff in your world, but I get the feelin' that's a sore spot. So what else do we talk 'bout? You're keepin' me distracted from the crazies.

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

Suit yourself.

Stuff in my world is probably more of a sore spot for the Bishop than for me, but you could talk about the weather or recent events or something if you prefer.

[colony_brat]

Just havin' weather's pretty sweet. Ya see, we gotta make the weather on the colonies and the cheaper ones, well we can't do stuff like rain or snow. 's too expensive. We just fake the sunlight and night time so people won't be as depressed. Being here ta enjoy all this weather's great. Even like it when it rains and it's thundery and stuff. The lightning's amazin' too.

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

Rain and storms are nice enough when you're inside where it's safe. Otherwise it's not so great.

[colony_brat]

I like goin' out in them. With the fire spirit and a couple spells, I don't have ta worry 'bout gettin' cold anymore. 's kinda nice. Just gotta worry 'bout bein' hit by lightning, but with the trees, not to worried 'bout that. Actually pays ta be short.

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

I could probably avoid the weather if I tried, but I'd still much prefer to stay inside, where I don't need magic to warm myself.

[colony_brat]

Well, I guess stayin' inside with someone ta cuddle with is fun too. I miss doin' that with the gang, but I got other people ta stay warm with so it's not so bad. What 'bout you? [Because to Duo, staying warm without magic means curling up with someone else, be it brother, housemate, or lover.]

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

...I was thinking something more along the lines of a blanket. And maybe a fire.
