[There's a strangely attractive woman taking over your library today, Plane. Sirkka is indulging herself. On the long study table beside her, there's a setting of Earl Grey for four and some delicious chocolate-dipped cookie treats— all things she took from the community kitchen, of course. Sirkka has her long legs crossed over another chair while she sips her tea. She's enjoying her book too much to care about manners, even laughing every once in a while. Must be a comedy right?

Nah, just Twilight.]

This really is like secondary school.

[If one is as empathic as she is, they might detect a sort of dark, lingering thought beneath all of this that she's trying to distract herself from.]

Maybe you can find an owner who has the same sense of wanderlust that you do. At the same time, though, I think you could also do very well on your own. [It's a small experimental poke at freedom, but it's something.]

...LMFAO I didn't even notice /keeps it

I think I would have the best luck with a pilot, then! They get to go wherever they want , but I'd have to get really lucky. I don't think they could afford me. {Which is said in the most sweet and innocent way} Unless there are rich pilots? I'm not sure...

I'll have to keep my eyes open! Most of the pilots are too busy staring at certain parts of me to really notice the rest.

I think it could work out. [She pours them some more tea.] Whatever you do, don't betray what you really, really want.

I'll try my best. It's hard to really know what I want, but I'll find it.

[newworldlover.livejournal.com]

I know you will. It was never a question of you being able to find it. [She smiles.]

[immarcescible.livejournal.com]

We'll just see, then. Oh, but I've been looking around this place. There are lots of weird buildings! The movie theater is interesting, since it's really really old.

[newworldlover.livejournal.com]

I love the theater. It's old even for my time, but so charming!

The forest is lovely, too. There's nothing like that in Whitechapel where I live.

[immarcescible.livejournal.com]

Oh, really? That's so sad. We have places like that in parks, or outside of the city, so that's really nothing new. Some of the plants are weird, though... Is that what forests on Earth look like?

[newworldlover.livejournal.com]

[She nods.] For the most part, yes. I think some of the flowers are a bit exaggerated, but it is a beautiful place.

There are parks near us, but they're flooded. It's dangerous to go outside of the borough alone.

[immarcescible.livejournal.com]

...They're flooded? How did that happen?

[newworldlover.livejournal.com]

[Sirkka's smile fades.]

Mmm... the world sort of-- started over.

[immarcescible.livejournal.com]

...Oh. Um, that's really terrible. I'm sorry for bringing it up.

[newworldlover.livejournal.com]

Ah, no, it's a decent question. Promise! It sounds bad, but we're actually doing really well. We even have electricity.

[immarcescible.livejournal.com]

Well... That is a good thing! Um, if you ever need anything, though, I can try and get it for you.

[newworldlover.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head.] I'm certain we'll be fine, but I appreciate it. Most everything I need I can find on the Plane as it is.

[immarcescible.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that does remind me, though. Is it alright to "borrow" things from here?

[newworldlover.livejournal.com]

As far as I know, it is! Though you might want to avoid taking the buildings and stuff. Those would be kinda out of place, wouldn't they?

[immarcescible.livejournal.com]

...You could take a building? I was just thinking of like a pot or pan or something!

[newworldlover.livejournal.com]

Actually, I've never tried. But if you can bring stuff here, you should be able to take it back...

Anyway, pots and pans are fine! I've never noticed a problem with taking a tea set home, for example.

[immarcescible.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's good, then! There looks like there's lots of handy stuff around here, especially the books... But I don't want to sit around here all the time and read books, so I borrowed a few. It's good that it doesn't matter!

[newworldlover.livejournal.com]

Just try to bring them back in one piece, I think. That's the biggest thing.

[immarcescible.livejournal.com]

No problem, then! None of the other girls really like to read, so I don't think they'll bother them.
