I would like to ask a question, if I may. Is there anyone who knows if the group opposing the deities can do as it says? I doubt the wisdom of openly going against the deities, but, if they have found a way to control whatever powers the deities possess, I think they would be worth talking with.

More importantly, where are the meteors coming from? [Because falling rocks are infinitely more important than the growing threat of a rebellion!] If the City is enveloped by a force field, there shouldn't be a way for extraterrestrial debris to reach us. I can only imagine that either there is no such force field, the field allows objects to get in but not out, or there is a reason why our roofs are being compromised by meteorites. The first seems unlikely.

Whatever the truth is, it's not a bad curse. A meteorite is the closest I have been to space in over fifteen months.

You. Are crazy.

[Korra's stuck inside today -- with these meteorites, she couldn't go out to the hospital for physical therapy. Being trapped inside, after already being stuck in bed for longer than she ever wanted to be in bed ever, is making her tetchy.]

Why do you say that? [Not that he's going to deny it or anything.] And how are you? If I could, I would visit.

[anatural]

How can you see anything good about rocks falling from the sky? [THEY HAVE RUINED HER DAY. RUINED IT.]

You don't need permission to come visit.

[Uhura quietly enters the house. Her umbrella is basically trashed. Sighing, she locks the door, kicks off her shoes, and goes to collapse on the living room couch.]

[Chekov is currently wearing a helmet (safety precaution) and engaged in the examination of half a dozen or so meteorites off in his corner (half) of the living room. He hopes that Uhura won't notice the two larger holes in the roof. She doesn't seem to be in the best mood, and property damage induced by meteors likely wouldn't help.]

I have another helmet, if you would like it.

[universaltranslator]

[Another meteorite crashes through the roof, sending splinters of wood flying. Uhura looks up at it with dull resentment.]

That would be great, thanks.

[Lucy is sitting in her closet with a variety of things around her, including an open bottle of bourbon. The animals are clearly locked in the closet with her. It's fortunate it's a very large walk in]


Pavel, if a meteorite destroys my flat I am coming to live with you. With all of the animals and all of my shoes.

Discuss.

[Large walk-in closet or not, that looks uncomfortable.]

You, your animals, and all of your shoes are welcome to live here, provided they can all fit and that I'm not asked to leave for issuing that invitation. Is your closet structurally sound?

[mightbeconcussed]

[It's not as comfortable as her flat]

I think so? I mean, it's got four walls and they're all inner walls, but how would I know?

A... force... fie... I do not follow.

[candothat]

A barrier--an invisible [eenweesible] wall? I have heard that such a thing surrounds us in all directions and prevents us from escaping, but it must not keep out debris.

[subecho]

And that is why we cannot fly past a certain point?

[paving]

The City is enveloped by a force field? Well, that's interesting news.

[candothat]

So it seems from what I have read, although I have not investigated this claim myself. I see no reason to doubt it; why would the deities construct a prison without barriers?

[paving]

I don't have a way of finding out, since I don't have any powers or equipment or anything like that . . . but it makes sense.

Pretty weird that the meteors got in, huh? Did the deities do it, or is the force field compromised? That's the question . . .

[ Beaming.

Um. Because he sounds like a dork and she likes that. ] You're around meteorite's a lot?

( v i d e o )

[If she likes dorks, they will get on just fine!]

Meteorites specifically, no, but I have been relatively close to asteroids. At home, I work in space--or, more accurately, I will. I only recently began.

[defies_reason]

As ever, you set a new bar for optimism.

[candothat]

As always, I try.

How is your bar? In one piece?

[defies_reason]

I thought I'd wait out the rest of the barrage to find out, but I expect at least a few shattered windows. My flat, at least, is in one piece, as am I.

[skintoskin]

No fuckin' clue, to either question.

But how the heck are ya?

[candothat]

Me? I'm good in spite of the meteors, thank you. And you? Will you need to repair any roofs once this curse is done?

[skintoskin]

Well, yeah, meteors suck, but whatever.

[He shrugs.]

I'm okay, I guess. Don't know about the roof. I'm in an apartment building and I don't live on the top floor.

[majorcrotchgrab]

I doubt they have the ability to do anything.

I'm thankful none of those meteorites have crashed into the mansion yet.

video;

[candothat]

That is what I think. If they had the power to do as they say, why would they need our help?

Your mansion must be very lucky. I may ask to send my housemate to live with you, if the meteor shower doesn't end; she isn't amused.
