ORCHESTRA TWO

[luckydragonsfoot]

[Alright so admittedly it took Katsuya a bit to react to this, not the least because he was a bit busy looking over missing names and such on the roster instead of at his own name and points.

The day after that though, boy howdy-]

So...SO....guess who's 18? [It's him, the one grinning and not directly looking at the camera. He is 18.

Ahem.] Nyhhh, figures this'd happen right after we went t' tha' resort though...

[BOOOOO HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN THE ADULT WRIST BAND]

That’s good. Probably helped to have them so close to be able to help. I found a few of the friends I’ve made here who were old enough so that I was able to walk in the forest sometimes.

[ It had almost been too amusing to stay in the teen area most of the time though. He’d never really gotten the chance to do that when he was at home ]

Yes. I was important as it was for the freedom of the colonies and then the protection of everyone, both on Earth and on the colonies. It seems we have solved it though. So that is good. Just seems odd that I could handle that but the forest is too much.

[luckydragonsfoot]

Colonies?

[He's about to ask if he's old-timey or something...and then. And then.

Katsuya blinks.] O-Oi, colonies that ain't on earth- Were you from space!?

[gundamofthedesert]

[ Quatre smiled and nodded ] Yes, our colonies are in space. Space stations really. My family is one of the longest living in space so I had never even seen Earth until recently.

[luckydragonsfoot]

Dude that's so cool....so you jus'...lived in space th' whole time then huh?

How's th' weird space train compare?

[gundamofthedesert]

I did. I was born in space and until recently, I had never even been to the Earth even though I could see it in certain locations of the colony. It was probably one of the best views of the overall planet but the worst for actually seeing what the Earth had to offer.

In terms of the colonies, the space train is a bit similar. There was gravity on the colonies and everything was carefully provided for so most people didn’t have to be responsible for things such as food production. Similar to how it probably is on Earth in developed countries. The colonies were bigger though. A lot bigger. I never had a room as small on the colonies as the cabins here. In terms of other space ships, I suppose it is more similar to those in terms of amenities offered. But depending on the ship, they may not have had any gravity which is completely different to how it is here.

[luckydragonsfoot]

Neat.... [Give him a moment while he thinks about how cool that sounds.]

Guess out there everythin's more meant f'r livin', instead of...whatever all this is. Train's more like some kinda camp I guess.

[gundamofthedesert]

Yeah, most of what is out in space is meant to keep people alive as space isn’t made for living beings at its core. The colonies though have evolved into actual cities where there is a lot of what would be on Earth, including circuses and other amusements.

[ He chuckled at the analogy ] Yes, this would be a little more like camp compared to that. Like if you were to create a tiny version of a colony, it might be a train.

[luckydragonsfoot]

Hah! Guess we can say it's our firs' time goin' campin' then! ..Er, unless y've been, I guess...

[Anyway.] Man, a whole circus in space though...

[gundamofthedesert]

Yeah, it really is. I kind of like camping.

[He had kind of been camping before, but it had been in the middle of the war so he’d never really just had the chance to sit there and enjoy it. Also he tended to glamp and not really camp]

Yeah, it was impressive. They would pack it up and move it around too.

[luckydragonsfoot]

Been pretty great so far if y' ask me too!

Dang, a whole travellin' space circus huh...must've been a hell of a ship, hah!

[gundamofthedesert]

I’ve certainly enjoyed it. What has been your favorite part about it?

I don’t know that I ever saw their ship. It was probably a pretty good since they did have animals.

[luckydragonsfoot]

Favorite so far...gonna say that trip t' th' winter festival spot. We got to ice skate through th' streets if we wanted..!!

Man, sucks that y' didn't get t' see it, but I guess it ain't like pokin' yer head into a parking lot when you're up in a space station huh...

[gundamofthedesert]

Yeah, that was nice. I did enjoy that. There was so much to do. I hope that we have the chance to do something like that again.

Yeah, it's a little harder. Most ships you can't tell what they are carrying from the outside unless someone writes it on there or puts a symbol.

[luckydragonsfoot]

Wonder if y' could like...get a picture 'r somethin' if y' really wanted...

[Like looking at a plane magazine...]

[gundamofthedesert]

[Quatre chuckled at that] I’m sure that I could get a picture of what it looks like inside the shuttle. I’m sure there are more exciting shuttles to look at than that one. Especially since the animals would most certainly have to be in cages for it.

[luckydragonsfoot]

Yeah? Hey, all I can do is take yer word for it until then..! Far as I figure, anythin' that's out in space is pretty cool t' me! That stuff's all TV and books where I'm at!

[gundamofthedesert]

I'm certainly willing to answer questions and I can try to draw out some diagrams. I've lived in space my whole life and only recently went to Earth. I've been trying to work on a book for the library with drawings of the mobile suits used in my world, but they are quite complex to draw so it is taking longer than I had hoped.

[luckydragonsfoot]

You'd draw all tha', really?

[Wow....

...

Katsuya blinks.] Mobile suits..?

[gundamofthedesert]

Yeah, I'd try. I learned a lot of technical design as part of my family's business so I can't really draw artistically, but I can create plans.

[He nodded] Yeah, they are large robots that we sit in to pilot them. Like a giant suit of armor.

fact: jou canonically knows how to put together gundam figs REALLY WELL apparently

[luckydragonsfoot]

YOU GUYS HAVE MECHA!?

[Katsuya is OFFICIALLY losing his mind.] OH MAN! I thought space was cool enough but real giant robots!?!

fun!

[gundamofthedesert]

We do. We have for many years. They have become quite sophisticated compared to the first ones.

[He smiled] It's not done, but I can show you what I have so far in my sketches of mobile suits from my world.

[luckydragonsfoot]

Heck yeah! I'd love it!

[gundamofthedesert]

Great! I can bring it over now if you like.

[luckydragonsfoot]

Sure! Nyhhhh....I'm in uh... ...well act'lly I'm in a hall righ' now, but I could prob'bly meet y' in th' library or somethin'...

[gundamofthedesert]

Of course. That's fine. I can bring it to the library. It will only take a few minutes if you wanted to meet now. If not, we can always meet later.
