19th Confession [Action/Voice]

[notabluesbro]

 [Aaaall right, so it's been pretty eventful lately. With Amelia and Milly popping up, like most people, out of nowhere, Wolfwood's busied himself with being shell-shocked at the latter and humored at the former (it really is all true, Amelia, promise). With Knives and Legato still MIA (perhaps they'd left entirely? but he's not one to hope on that), not to mention, he's found himself just a little more relaxed than usual. And hey, the injury on his arm is just about healed up, to boot. Nothing much but a few stitches that were about ready to be removed. Of course he knew it was only a matter of time before something crazy happens again buuut... he'll take it one step at a time.

Firstly, he stops by the weapons shop to see if any ammo came in for his guns, because you can never have enough lengths of bullets for your machine-gun-cross. He also goes off to the forest to practice his fire in the forest, because he honestly hadn't done so in quite a while and heard the damn fire spirit's nagging voice every time he passed by the usual spot.]

Insult me all you want, it isn't going to get this fire any taller. Hell, I'll probably just make it smaller to bug you.

[And suddenly, a coat sleeve on fire. Whoop.]

Geez, geez, it was a joke! [patting it out, and then a beat] Fiery little bastard.

[He's been focused on just this one element for a while now, and the progress is felt in the explosion of fire he's able to make. When he was a kid, it was just a little fire at the end of a stick, but now--he's at least able to create fire as tall as he is.

And after that he'll go ahead and stop by the bar for a drink--even at Sanji's bar, maybe, despite the fact that curlybrow was going to give him A Look over the recent developments. It's overcast with murky clouds, but that hardly puts a damper on anything; Wolfwood rather likes the cool, muted look, himself. He also sights a little something at the item shop while he's out.]

[Voice]

 

So, Luceti. I've told a ton of people about my crappy little desert planet, but I'm curious--what's the landscape of your worlds like? The weather? Anything that you miss from it, or anything that you're glad you're not dealing with? It's been biting at me lately to ask.

 

By the way, welcome, new people. The name's Wolfwood, and I hope you have a fairly uneventful stay here--though, 'hope' is a very key word. But if there's anything you guys need, there's plenty of help around, myself included.

 

[after a beat--]

 

[Filtered to Milly]

 

Heeey, I think I found something of yours at the item shop.

 

[a big, violent gun-related thing. :|a]

[She was still getting used to this...strange journal thing. But to know the other Users would help her understand things. Gathering information--what she did best]

I come from the Grid. Electric light, mixed with darkness. We do not have a sun, nor...a desert, whatever that is.

We do have a Sea. The Sea of Simulation. Long ago poisoned.

Re: [voice]

[notabluesbro]

The Grid...? Simulation?

I don't think I've ever heard of something like that. But how do you keep yourselves alive without any sun?

[Wait a sec, let him think on this--]

... or are you not from a planet?

[voice]

[survivethesiren]

No, I am not.

[Oh a quick learner]

I am a Program. Created by a User. The Grid...is a large computer system.

But it is a world, just the same.

Re: [voice]

[notabluesbro]

A program.

Like one in a computer.

...

I gotta' say, that's new to me.

[Alas, Wolfwood will never be a technology person, so everything falls into the line of How does this work how does this work.]

[voice]

[survivethesiren]

It seems quite new to most I have met.

[It makes her slightly more comfortable, considering how lost she is in the real world, like this]

This place is quite, quite strange for me.

Re: [voice]

[notabluesbro]

I can only imagine it is. Not a lot of green in your computerized world, right?

[voice]

[survivethesiren]

None whatsoever.

I am not quite sure if I like it.

Re: [voice]

[notabluesbro]

Not sure if you like it? That's a first, for me to hear that.

My world didn't have much green either... but it was something everyone wanted; strove for it, in a lot of places.

[voice] omg sorry I lost the notif!

[survivethesiren]

[She sighs]

It is very different from my world. It will take me time to adapt.

Why did you want green so much? ...Grass is strangely squishy. It doesn't seem natural.

Re: [voice] nooo problem~ :Db

[notabluesbro]

Well, where I come from is nothing but hot, annoying sand. Everything there is dead—I don't know about your world, but the people who live in mine need green to survive. It's something we've always strived to get, because if there's green then there's water, and if there's water then there's a chance for us to all keep surviving.

It's a pretty big concern, the possibility of us all fading away...

[voice]

[survivethesiren]

Programs need energy... [she seems to be understanding, at least]

...I suppose it is the same thing. I do like seeing the sun, here. Though it is much too bright some times.

And the tall...tall things in clumps. Trees? Do you have those in your world?

Re: [voice]

[notabluesbro]

Unfortunately, we don't have very many trees, either. But if we did have those, we'd have things a lot more easier.

[voice]

[survivethesiren]

Are trees special?

Re: [voice]

[notabluesbro]

Very special. We need oxygen for our lungs, and trees make that—the air back home is pretty thick, but if we had more wildlife to work with, I bet it'd make life a lot more comfortable.

Not to mention—when there's plants, there's always water. And we're in pretty short supply of that.

[voice]

[survivethesiren]

Curious...your world sounds bleak in a different way, from mine.

Re: [voice]

[notabluesbro]

I think every world has something bleak in it. I guess mine just happens to be one of those ones who has a little too much of it. Yours?

[voice]

[survivethesiren]

It's always night time. We aren't allowed a sun. And there is very little...color. Most things are in blue and black.

Re: [voice]

[notabluesbro]

Blues and blacks? I'd probably get a little tired of those colors after too long... but then, I guess if you've always lived there, it's a different story, huh?

You'd probably hate all the browns you'd have to see, in my world.

[voice]

[survivethesiren]

I don't know. It would be a change, would it not? I like variety. There is little of it in my world, now.

Re: [voice]

[notabluesbro]

Hmmm... What does one do in a computer world?

[voice]

[survivethesiren]

You'd be surprised. We hold games, go to clubs...do many of the things you would do in the normal world.

Re: [voice]

[notabluesbro]

Huh. What kind of clubs would those be?

[voice]

[survivethesiren]

End of Line provides drinks and entertainment.

Re: [voice]

[notabluesbro]

Drinks? You guys can drink, in your world?

I didn't think you'd be able to.

[voice]

[survivethesiren]

It truly isn't different from the outside world at the core. I am amused at how surprised you are.
