0180 : Beautiful

[livingmyths]

Last night was so wonderful!

I was scared at first because last time it was dark all day, I think there were bad things around - but maybe the bad things were only in my head, I don't always know.

But the lights and, oh gosh, everything were just so pretty! I went up to the roof of the Library and watched from there almost all night and then I was so tired I just went to sleep in the Greenhouse. It's nice and warm in there, so it was okay.

Did everyone else have fun?

Gaudy, I would say.

[There is just no pleasing some people...]

But appropriate enough considering zhe length of our eclipse.

Sometimes that's just more fun!

Re: audio;

[prosopopoeia]

Yes, yes.

[Nope.]

Per'aps there will be a bit less drama next time.

Re: audio;

[livingmyths]

Oh gosh.

I don't know if I want another all dark day. That was scary.

audio;

[prosopopoeia]

Zhere is more dark in zhe world zhan not.

[Space was dark. Dark and endless.]

Re: audio;

[livingmyths]

Yes, but I like it to stay where it belongs.

Zhe sun will burn out, in time. All lands are destined for shadow.

[The religion of a scientist.]

Re: audio;

[livingmyths]

That scares me.

I don't want to think about that.

Re: audio;

[prosopopoeia]

[She scoffs.]

Fear ees better spent on what might be changed.

Re: audio;

[livingmyths]

If I could change it I wouldn't be scared.

Re: audio;

[prosopopoeia]

At least zhere is some outlet for zhe fear, rather zhan drowning in impotence.

Re: audio;

[livingmyths]

I've spent most all my life being afraid.

Re: audio;

[prosopopoeia]

And yet you 'ave not yet expired from 'ypertension.

Re: audio;

[livingmyths]

I... don't know what that is.

audio;

[prosopopoeia]

High blood pressure. Such as might be brought upon by chronic stress.

Re: audio;

[livingmyths]

Oh.

Gosh.

Do you think I have that?

Maybe not anymore though, 'cause mostly I'm not frightened here.

audio;

[prosopopoeia]

Tch. It was only to illustrate a point.

Re: audio;

[livingmyths]

Oh. Sorry.

I... I'm not so smart to understand all this stuff.

audio;

[prosopopoeia]

Zhat is easily remedied.

[...easily, Marie?]

Re: audio;

[livingmyths]

Really?

You think you could teach me?

Re: audio;

[prosopopoeia]

I am not much of a teacher, but willing students go a long way.

Re: audio;

[livingmyths]

Oh gosh!

I always wanted to go to school and be smart, but we were almost never in one place too long.

And my dad didn't like it if I went.

Re: audio;

[prosopopoeia]

Dieu... [A faint curse.] You 'ave received no formal education?

Re: audio;

[livingmyths]

Not exactly none.

Just mostly none.

I mean, I can read really good and write okay.

Re: audio;

[prosopopoeia]

Well, reading ees one of your best weapons. What kind of mathematics were introduced to you?
