Seventeenth Drift

*Julius is standing on the outside of ID1 in a normal suit with magnetic boots staring at the stars. He is next to a block of ice latched to the side of the station that he has started chiseling, though it seems halfheartedly. There are a number of other blocks of ice arranged in a quite organized fashion, though they look absolutely untouched.

[Katina floats by in her Gespenst, having returned from routine something or other - even saving the world with galaxy sized manifestations of fighting spirit doesn't get you much of a break.]

Never knew you were a sculptor.

*Julius is momentarily surprised at Katina's interruption.*

Oh, it's something that me and Setsuna learned how to do but never got around to actually completing. I figured after yesterday, it was a good way to unwind.

I don't think I'll really be unwound for the next week.

Yeah I know what you mean. That was... terrifying, exhilarating and awe inspiring all at once. Having all the power at one's fingertips, but knowing our enemy has the same power and knowing that the slightest misstep could bring our own disaster on ourselves.

Did you have the urge to do anything Katina? While you could do anything you wanted? Did you have the urge to do something that didn't have anything to do with the battle? Anything you might... regret had you actually done?

Honestly... I was so caught up in things that I didn't have any attention to spare for that sorta thing. That's me in a fight though.

I couldn't not think about it. I mean, I had the ability to literally suspend time around me in order to think about what I was going to do. It was... I don't know... like wielding something never meant for anyone to wield.

In a way, I think the anti-spiral wasn't wrong. It was just... dumb.

[grandtheftmecha]

That describes a whole lotta people.

[driftingpersona]

This is true.
