WHAT in person
WHERE all over
WHEN 32nd day
NOTES it's a deage post

[it's a beautiful day!

by someone's standards!

which is to say, the entire town is darkly overcast and gloomy, and starting in the morning, there are scattered showers intermittently around the town. it's light enough that it isn't bothersome, barely noticeable, really, but you may find yourself feeling a bit different after you've past through one. like it's taken a few years off your life— quite literally.

or maybe it doesn't effect you at all! and you just want to go for a walk in the rain. you do you.]

What, like "blue are the streets and all the trees are too"?

I've heard the Belians are blue too.

Whoa, seriously?

[nods]

I feel like I would get a headache with nothing but blue, but that must be super cool to see.

[shyly] I haven't seen it. I've just heard.

Heard about anywhere else cool? What about where you're from?

Um... it's not that interesting. I think? What do you want to know?

I dunno, anything? It's all new to me, so it's interesting.

I haven't been offplanet so I don't know what'd be interesting... It's not that different here. Um, the air smells different though, of course.

Maybe your air is made out of something different? Ours is mostly nitrogen with some oxygen.

Oh. No, or I couldn't breathe right? But the moisture is different somehow.

Oh, yeah, that would be trouble. Well, let somebody know if you start feeling sick?

Okay. I will.

Meanwhile, I dunno, got anything about Earth you want to check out? I don't know what our galactic reputation is, but we have a farm with some pretty great animals here, and baby chickens are great no matter how many chickens you've seen before.

I like animals a lot. I've never heard of Earth, but animals are probably great everywhere.

In between Mars and Venus, somewhere in the Milky Way? Has one moon? I don't know the name of our sun, we just call it The Sun. But yeah, I don't get along with dogs, but wolves and the other canines are great, so I can't even disagree there. Animals are awesome.

I don't know, sorry. Maybe you're not in a galactic network yet...? Or not ours, anyway.

Nah, don't worry about it. Like I said, we've only gotten to the moon as far as I know, who knows what's happened nomenclature-wise since.

[nods] Sorry. Things take time, anyway.

Yeah, heck, it might be something outside my lifetime.

[little rough giggle]

That's confusing.

Right? From my perspective, you're from space and the future.

Humans don't live that long, right? Someone else said that if you were 150, you were really old.

Uhhhh yeah, humans don't live to 150. The average is more in the 80s, living to 100 is a big deal.
