18 Purple Files

[proudambassador]

Perhaps I should be thankful for the infernal flying thing that continually pesters me. Perhaps. Without it, I do not know if I would have stumbled through the... strangeness in the wilderness. I would not have entered, if it was not divebombing my head, like a thrice-damned homing frisbee!

But now, I am in. I have gone through. I will have you all know that on the food, I call dots. Dits. I call whatever it is that makes it mine, because it is mine. This, through the strange-looking spots, it is the station where I work. It is not my planet, but it is... almost a home, yes?

Some help I will need carrying this. If there are any who would not mind, I will pay.

I can help!

Oh hey, you have one of those weird lizard things? Why do they blow up all the time? They keep exploding if I go to pet one.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Night. I would be most glad of your assistance, yes. And I do, but mine, it has not blown up. Instead, it flaps at me and follows me around and is most annoying!

[its-me-hooray.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I think they're pretty cool. They breathe fire, just like Feathers! He doesn't blow up, though. I'm glad for that.

Okay! I'll come find you and we'll see about moving some stuff!

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Yes, well. Feathers, he does not follow you everywhere, or try to, no?

Good, good. I thank you, my good Mr. Night.

[grigorichord]

You have one of those things following you too?

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Yes, I do, and it is most tiresome, no? I cannot lose it.

[grigorichord]

I don't have one following me but I keep seeing people with them. I take it they're new here?

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

They are, yes. The Sphere, it gives new things often.

[grigorichord]

First giant ants and now those weird things. Not very useful, are they?

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Useful? My dear girl, I do not think any of the things the Sphere has done have been useful.

[grigorichord]

It just doesn't make any sense. Why do they throws all these pointless things at us? What does any of it do?

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Again, you are expecting sense from something that makes none. Use, do, logic, it is wasted here.

[grigorichord]

I can't help it if I just want things to make sense. They're dumb for not doing it.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Yes. They are dumb, the tree is dumb, being trapped is dumb. But expecting it to change, it will not work.

[grigorichord]

Yeah, I guess. It takes a while to get used to stupidity being normal.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

It does, yes. And it is not fun, no.

[grigorichord]

We'll get out of here some day at least. Then it won't matter.

[desertshadows.livejournal.com]

A station? Sounds pretty interesting. I'd be happy to be of help.

Would a helmet of some sort help?

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

It is of course interesting. It must be, if I spent much time here.

Why would a helmet help? I will not be throwing things at you.

[desertshadows.livejournal.com]

Of course! Any idea how long it was?

Ah, if it's going to keep divebombing you, it only seems sensible.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

No. I do not know. My past, I know little of it.

For the dragon, I see. I did not get what you were saying at first, no.

[desertshadows.livejournal.com]

Maybe being there will jog something.

Got there in the end, though!

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

And it has! My memory of where the bar was, it has been jogged!

Tell me, my good Mr. Eagle, do you drink?

[desertshadows.livejournal.com]

I do! Where will I find it?

Convoluted directions get!

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

When you enter the Wilderness, you go to the medics' station. That is where I started from, I had visit there, yes? So then from the station, facing the elevator, you head back toward the elevator until you see the shuttlepad. At least, I think that is what it must be, no? It is flat and clear and ready for arrivals. You go left there, to where you see the shimmer of something that is not quite right. That is what I went into. And then, then you are on a walkway in the station overlooking a large area. Go to the right, if you see the flowershop in front of you, below. The stairs, go down them, and then go straight. The place that has the name Zocolo written over it, that is where the drink is.

[desertshadows.livejournal.com]

I'm not too sure what a shuttlepad is, but I'm sure I can figure it out. Maybe you can tell me a little more when I'm there!

[and off he heads, checking now and again to see if he's got the directions right.]

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

A city, it is crowded with structures and decorations, no? So a flat clear area, in a city, it stands out. It is where you would land something from the air. A shuttlepad, for landing the shuttles.

[desertshadows.livejournal.com]

They fly then? Must be something to see!

[That helps, and he arrives eventually.]
