Characters: 00 and ~*ANYBODY*~
Date/Time: April 11th, early afternoon
Location: The Aquarium
Rating: G, unless someone decides to cuss a blue streak or murder people.
Summary: 00 contemplates current events in Edensphere. Come poke her!


00 stood in the middle of the tunnel, staring upwards. Blue-white light patterns played over herself and the floor of the Aquarium. Sharks, fins swishing back and forth overhead as they swam their familiar routes through the massive tanks. She couldn't hear their passage through the water. Could they see her outside the tank? If they did, did they think anything of it? They did not approach the glass... aware of the barrier. Had they swam into it, the first time they had been placed into the tank?

There is a glass barrier around Edensphere.

She wondered if fish disappeared from the tank the way people did from Edensphere.

Many bonds have been broken. One half is still in Edensphere. Where are the others?

What would I feel if someone I knew vanished? People she knew had vanished. Pinky. ZERO. Where had they gone? Was it sad that they were gone? She had cried at Fred's death, but Fred had returned. There was a difference between the two things.

She could tell that there was sadness in the things written on the journals. Blank words without emotion. Hatred for the tree. Expressions of sympathy and sorrow. The writing coming slowly as she watched. Did such things matter? Would it have made any difference if she had written something? She wondered if she could ask these things to Innovator. 00 didn't know why she had come to the Aquarium to think about it. Yes... she had come here to think. Why was that? She could think in the house. But there were few people in the Aquarium. It was quiet. The liquid sound of the tanks... familiar. Soothing?

She didn't know.

I don't know many things.

There was no snow left. Sun and rain had come to Edensphere. Clouds. The magnetic signs had evaporated; body parts were no longer polarized. 00 wondered what would happen next. Is there any point in speculation? The things that happen are unpredictable. Nothing here is constant. Bonds are broken. People find themselves alone. Was there a way to end it? She had no power here with which to end suffering. She wondered if she had been successful in the place that she had dreamed of. He chose not to join them. I wonder what people here would choose if I asked.

If she knew what the choice was.

[Tl;dr summary: 00 is thinking and staring into the tank. Bother bother bother.]
