[It's been a while, Plane, hasn't it? And now, Kuhn doesn't feel like going to work. So, what's he doing instead? Lying around in the weather-defying snow.]

I thought this place was weird before, but this is pretty much a new level of weird. Not that I mind it all that much.

[Contented sigh~] You know, you really miss this kind of thing in the real world. Online, too, I guess. Maybe Atoli's got a point with her "Stop and look at the graphics" thing.

Oxford? Wow. You must be pretty intelligent, kid. [He grins.] And, I'm about a century ahead of you, man. The year's 2016, and it's just nearing the end of fall.

Am I? I wonder. Is the world still beautiful at the end of fall in 2016? Everyone talks about industrialisation destroying the Beauty of Nature.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's still beautiful. I'm sure it's a different kind of beauty, since they're right about the industrialization bit. There are skyscrapers and buildings pretty much everywhere in the city I'm from. Still, I think it's got its own sort of appeal.

But there are still gardens, aren't there?

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Yeah, of course. Some people grow their own, of course. Other places have these huge, public gardens where people can go for a walk, or do whatever they want. I went to one on a date before, but that's the only time.

Then it seems that reports of the end of the world, as usual, have been grossly exaggerated. Oxford is a beautiful city. I'm sure skyscrapers can be beautiful too. Their name is, if a bit violent, but anything that reaches to the sky must have some merit in it.

Man, all reports of the end of the world are exaggerated like crazy. Right now, they're saying it's all going to end in 2021 with huge natural disasters. Of course, the first rumor was that it would all end in 2012. So much for that!

I could probably take some pictures sometime and bring them to the Plane to show you, if you ever wanted. It's a pretty awesome sight. I've never been to Oxford, though. Haven't even seen pictures of it before. What's it like?

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

That's such a comforting thought. Could you? I'd love to see it. I don't have anything to use to take pictures of Oxford, but perhaps I could ask Charles to paint something for you. It really is the City of Dreaming Spires, and thank goodness, as it all seems half a dream most days.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

A painting would be nice! Never had a painting done just for me before. That's pretty awesome. And sure, I'll get a picture for you. I'll even find a time when the sky looks nice, too.

Oh, right. You can call me Kuhn. What's your name?

Sebastian, and this [meaning his bear] is Aloysius. It's a pleasure.
