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.]

...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?

Hopefully, outside a barrier. I hate to think about what would happen if it wasn't.

If those barriers block the air's normal flow...

[Yeah, that'd be terrible.]

There are all kinds of repercussions to that. [Cancer, carbon monoxide poisoning, and various other serious problems.]

Air pollution should always be minimized.

So should all types of pollution, I assume.

This is true, but some are worse than others.

Because they spread more easily?

Yes. Air pollution and water pollution are the worst.

Some kinds of pollution are more annoying than harmful, though. Like light and noise pollution.

...You can pollute with light and noise? How?

Imagine light filling the sky, until you can't see the stars. And sound both constant and loud. They're common problems, especially in big cities; both are irritating, but neither is truly harmful.

...That sounds more terrifying than annoying, if you ask me.

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...

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

no subject

Oops, forgot to edit that last subject. Sounds like a pretty typical rp, then.

It is! With dozens of critters to meep track of.

You play your own pokemon, right? What "critters" make it challenging?

...Every single one you get after the tenth or so, mostly.

An excel document would be your friend there.

I already have three. *sob*

Sticky notes are pretty awesome, as well. Both the computer app and the real thing.

Does it work with Vista?

Idk. ... I really, REALLY hate Vista.

It took a while, but I'm used to it now.

I already have three. sob
