She can see when she couldn't, her father cried and clutched the keys in his hand, later he's beheaded for it. Roosters all over the place. There aren't any bay leaves here but it doesn't matter. What's the point finding a mate when there's no sky to fly in anyway?

The walls are biodegradable. Getting thinner every day. More and more dangerous. People hide behind smiles and don't dance around words, see things that other people don't know about. Fake weddings, fake lovers, fake promises. They make diagrams and point with arrows and one of them covers it in plastic and each have someone else in their hearts. Picked at random.

So I take it you're about as interested in this queer custom they have here as I am.

[albatrossish]

Sending hearts in the mail. That's morbid.

[ex_aint86]

And dead flowers. I got you one anyway. I reckon Kaylee would have liked it, all this pink and talk of breeding.

[albatrossish]

Maybe the pink. Definitely the breeding. I didn't get you one, it might be poisonous. Radiation leaking through the soil. Unlikely, but things leak through here. Thank you for the ritually destroyed flower anyway.

[ex_aint86]

You're welcome.

[albatrossish]

I like the card. Extreme height differentials, upward strokes.

[flameregalia]

We're all going to find a sky together. Is everything okay, River?

[albatrossish]

It's poisonous. They're loud. Hundreds of voices, got their matches. Those that haven't have been assigned one. They're quantifying things that can't be assigned numerical values. Tried to tell them when I got here, my match is gone and I can't get a new one. It's been cut out.

[flameregalia]

Your brother?

[albatrossish]

My amygdala.

[flameregalia]

I'm sorry, I don't understand. Tonsillectomy?

[albatrossish]

That too, a different time. I thought then that my throat hurt.

[flameregalia]

It sounds painful.

[albatrossish]

In retrospect it wasn't that bad. Not like snapping bones. Simon took some of my ice cream.

[flameregalia]

I can't wait to meet him.

[albatrossish]

He's not a real person.

[flameregalia]

To be fair, neither are we.

[albatrossish]

The opposite of combustion.

[flameregalia]

Which is? You are so much smarter than me.

[albatrossish]

Generation, maybe.

[ex_aint86]

He will be.

[albatrossish]

Missed Valentine's. Missed my birthday, too.

[ex_aint86]

So, he's a little late. I hope for all of em, but I know the doc'll be here for you eventually. You'd have to be crazy to doubt it.

[albatrossish]

 

[ex_aint86]

Just my little joke.

[notwalking]

You ever thought of writing poetry?

[albatrossish]

In another life. I used to be good at couplets. Already had a white background. Not anymore.

[notwalking]

Why not anymore?

[albatrossish]

Some things get broken and they can't be fixed. Not a vase, can't be glued.

[notwalking]

Your imagery is impressive, either way.

[albatrossish]

I'm all images anyway. Everyone is.
