[There's the usual static hum on everyone's PCD, as the screen goes black. After a moment, a low flute tone starts up, continuing as a background melody throughout. For anyone who hears it, it would sound vaguely familiar, from their home world- though played inexpertly, as if they couldn't entirely remember how it was supposed to go.]


too soon, too early

not quickly enough

calm down, take a breath we're still setting up
we'll take it apart
you always do

we can carry it ourselves
is it really necessary

^finally, that's better
wait what's going on

can you give us what we want

we've asked so many times
but no one delivers

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

The walls will break first.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

but none of us have arms
we're not good at stacking things
apart from each other
(though it's crowded)

the tables do have more legs than usual...

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

but they're really nice ones!
why would you do that

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Because people belong free.

[genkireaper]

[Wut. Seriously, what are these animus things?]

I see...

Do all the legs match? I suppose asking the tables might actually work...

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

you don't want to know what's happening elsewhere

[buntails.livejournal.com]

If this is safe, then tell me what it's safe from.

[magicxmarker.livejournal.com]

Well you have to ask again, I won't know until you tell me.

Help me to help you, its how this stuff works, okay?

[Even if he's kind of hating you right now.]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

oh

...

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

bad things

the worst!

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

more than one if you can manage it
maybe some minor planets too

[genkireaper]

Ah...

Then where are the tables? It sounded like you needed them for something.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Then tell me what they are.

[magicxmarker.livejournal.com]

Wait...what?

There is a sun though.

And the two moons and stuff. Dunno about planets though.

Why do you want another one?

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Hey. Long time no see.

So it's the beginning of a new event and you're not ready yet? You could have postponed, we wouldn't have minded.

[thelonegenin]

... How many of you guys are there, even?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

keep your eyes open

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[thelonegenin]

... Liars.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

but it's not
it's cold here

suns are for heating
the rest is decoration

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[thelonegenin]

Whoa!

'kay, okay--

That's just a lot of ya.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

we're afraid to say
you'd be sad
nothing escapes here
