Constellation 03

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[Arthur has been riding his bike on the Plane. He has no particular destination in mind, but seems to be simply riding around. He comes to a stop in front of the Astral bar, looking at his watch.]

That's about  two hours worth of riding, and I still don't seem to reach an end. Considering I've been keeping up an average pace of about thirty two kilometers per hour, riding out for half an hour longer each day, and today's the twenty eight.....that's a hundred and sixty kilometers, and still haven't reached some sort of end.

[ooc: Unofficial birthday post! According to records, December 28th is Eddington's birthday. Unfortunately, he happens to be Quaker, and thus doesn't celebrate it. Still, I figured it deserved a post~]

[Yasako's here with Densuke.]

You biked that far, sir? Really?

[ofalzarius.livejournal.com]

[He recognises the bicycle, but has never seen one being used before.] Oh, so that's how you work them.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

I bike often, it's a sort of hobby of mine.

[coil-legacy.livejournal.com]

I haven't used my bike in awhile. I mostly walk places. But I can't believe this place is that big...

Um...have I met you before?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

The bicycle, you mean?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

It seems almost infinite at times.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Arthur Eddington.

[coil-legacy.livejournal.com]

Maybe it is...Fumie said she couldn't find the end, either.

Oh, no! You just looked familiar, is all. [Shy smile.] I'm Yuko Okonogi, but most people call me Yasako. It's nice to meet you, Eddington-san.

Have the constellations repeated themselves at all during your riding?

[looks around at the Plane]

I wonder, since the locations of quite a few seem a bit off. Maybe it just repeats itself after a while. Looping around on itself, giving the illusion of endless space.

[shrugs]

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

It doesn't seem like such a strange thing, for this place to lack an end.

Well, I do look like five other people wandering around here. [smiles] It's a pleasure to meet you, Yasako. And Arthur is fine.

[coil-legacy.livejournal.com]

I guess not. It's like regular space that way, huh?

You...do? Wow... [She blushes a little.] U-um...okay. A-Arthur... [Blush deepens quite a bit.]

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

For the most part I was riding too fast to really get a good look, but they don't seem to repeat.

They are somewhat inaccurate, for the most part, but I assumed a lot of it had to do with the fact that I was considering their positions as viewed from Earth.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

It certainly fits the theme.

Yes. It's rather confusing, at times. [Blinks] I'm sorry, was that rude of me?

[coil-legacy.livejournal.com]

Oh! N-n-no! It's just, um...i-in Japan, calling someone by their first name, i-it means you know them really well, and...

[lamb_of_gold]

Traveling?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

I wasn't aware of that. Eddington-san it is, then?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

You could say that, yes.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Still, even considering other locations, they all seem a bit off.

[coil-legacy.livejournal.com]

O-okay... [Itty bitty smile.]

[lamb_of_gold]

Wherever to?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

What should I call you, that would be proper?

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

I certainly don't doubt that it's artificial.

[coil-legacy.livejournal.com]

Oh! You can call me Okonogi-san if you want, but Yasako is fine too.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that much is certain. You just have to wonder at the scale of something that is artificial. It has to end at some point, right?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[Looks amused, leaning near the door of the bar.] I've been thinking something similar, myself. Just upwards. It just can't be infinite.

[ofalzarius.livejournal.com]

Yes.
