WHAT in person
WHERE the park...?
WHEN Day 23, evening

[ The weather has calmed down and it's actually a nice temperature with a slight breeze -- someone has set up a beer garden in the park! There's beer, cider and mead from kegs -- and no one is checking ID.

There's also a variety of food -- mostly typical bbq stuff, hot dogs, hamburgers, grilled corn and so forth but there is also probably something very particular and nostalgic from your childhood or past on the buffet tables. Maybe it's something like a particular brand of military rations, a space fruit that only grows on Mars, whatever.

Well, have fun. ]

The way you say that sounds as though you're not sure either?

[oh cute ears]

That largely depends on what Terra is, you see.

Ah, "Earth".

Like dirt?

It's what the citizens call their planet! Well, I might be wrong, but it looks a lot like the place.

Oh, we're talking about planets, are we? I can't say I know much about those, being a cat.

Well, you've much more to say than many of the cats I've met, so I thought there might be a chance.

I'm often told I'm quite chatty, it's true. But I'm afraid not.

That's all right. The people make the place, after all.

Is that so?

[Either privately amused or genuinely curious and it's Hard To Tell Which]

[oh you probably decided "maybe I'm not a person" at that, huh]

In my experience. Though it's usually made by averages, not individuals.

[it is a mystery]

Individuals are much more fun, though.

I agree entirely.

It's a shame, then, that the people making the place are doing it by averages rather than individuals.

I'm curious about that too.

Oh? How so?

Well, what that means.

It could be meant a few ways, I'd say.

What way did you mean?

Hmm... So far it seems this place isn't necessarily suited to the people I've met here. Does that make sense? It's more a set of tracings based on a different average.

It makes sense, but — in what way do you mean?

Aah, maybe this is all too complicated for a silly cat such as myself. It's simply a feeling!

I put a lot of faith in feelings.

What a charming trait.

I try to maintain a few of those.
