18th moon [voice]

Rosa Farrell has left Luceti.

[It comes abruptly, harshly, flatly. Cecil does not sound in terrible pain as he did the last time he had to make such an announcement. In fact, he sounds very much as though he's forgotten how to inflect.]

...She's left roses and notes for everyone she's met here. Please come pick them up when you have the time.

[That's all he has the energy to say.]

Not personally, whatever beginning that might be. Only old residents.

I wonder, how this did begin... Who were the first to be here? How did they figure their new lives out? It must have been even worse then, when there was no precedent.

Much of the information and infrastructures we have we obtained by our fellow residents over the years. I wonder if we'd even recognize the original village if we saw it.

One can only imagine. I wonder what parts are original... Has the village changed since you got here?

Slightly. There was no orchard, back then. It appeared during an experiment and stayed after.

I didn't realize effects of experiments COULD stick around. Aren't they usually temporary?

They are. I suppose that could have been a Shift malfunction.

Are those common? Problems when a shift ends, that is. It seems like the Malnosso would try to clear them up.

This is the biggest remaining effect I've heard of by far, though every so often an experiment lasts longer for certain people. But in this case it's not exactly a problem.

Yeah, I can see where having an orchard would be nice. What do they grow there, anyway? I haven't been.

...Fruits?

[He has no idea.]

Huh. I wonder what kinds. Might be interesting if plants from other worlds could survive here.

Surely they do. I personally recognize many of the fruits and vegetables available in the store.

I never thought about that. I thought they just... appeared there. [Brought by the Malnosso, but better not to directly mention them when Cecil has finally been slightly distracted.]

They do, but they must come from somewhere.

That's true. Nothing comes from nothing, after all.

Is food from your world readily available?

General ingredients such as vegetables and meats are, at least. But all that packaging is very different.

Packaging can be a bear, but at least it keeps food fresh.

... I wonder what happens to garbage here.

Perhaps they burn it? This world must have volcanos and lava.

Maybe they recycle some, too. It makes you wonder, though.

Recycle? How? Would it not not be too dirty?

Not like directly reuse the items. They clean the materials, melt them down, and remold them into new things. It saves resources, because you can make new items out of old plastics or metals. [God this reminds her of student teaching.]

That 'plastic' can be melted down just as well as metal? It seems so different...

It melts at significantly lower temperatures, too. But some plastics are harder to reuse than others, and they can all release some nasty fumes if not melted carefully. [Was that a smile? That's progress, that is.]

Which means it would take special facilities, somewhere on this planet. But where?

Remembering exact journal names becomes very important.

Do you subscribe to both communities on both accounts?

Nah, the friends' page would fill up too quickly.

Must be big communities, then.

Yep, even if they're not as big as they used to be.

RP's always get smaller. Pity, but true.

Unless they're blowing up, but that never lasts.

They fall apart when they get too big. Like atomic nuclei.

Until they hopefully rise again, half as large.

And then the ones who stick around are the ones most comfortable, and things get FUN.

As long as it doesn't scare the new kids.

Oh, pshah. If they can't take the heat....

But we need fresh vict- er, blood in there!

What kind of game is it, that scares newbies off so?

Pokémon. Lots of Pokémon.

That sounds hilarious.

It is! Yet it also has quite a lot of character development.

When does it take apps? I'm always looking for new things to do.

Anytime, processed on the 1st/3rd weekends of the month! So this weekend.

What's it called? Like it's full name?

route_29!

Looks like fun, but troublesome to organize.

Not if you keep up with it regularly. But when you start falling behind...
