III - Seasons in the sun

[istoppedtime]

[Desolation. Just a couple of days ago, the place where Jotaro is now standing was a lovely golden beach, sun and sand and water. Now it isn't anymore: there's only the electric fence, and the dark Wastes beyond, and Jotaro, one hand in his pocket, the other holding the PCD as he glances down at it. His face is flatly unreadable - but then, it

Events only last a week. [Her thought is "Fortunately" but she doesn't say it out loud because she knows Jotaro likes the beach and the sea.]

However, some of them repeat themselves once a year, I was told. The beach already appeared here at the same time last year. So maybe next year...

[No need to say it - it's the first thing he thinks, pessimist that he is.]

They're not normally any good are they.

[feel_nevermore]

If you ask me, I'd tend to say they're not. But I've noticed it's quite a relative notion here. Some events are generally liked or inversely despised. But for some other events, it seems more debatable.

You found this last one good, didn't you?

[istoppedtime]

It was nice. Warm... interesting.

Tell me about a few more will you.

[feel_nevermore]

[She shrugs.] Sure, if you want. This summer and beach event is the fourth event I've lived since my arrival here.

The first one occured the week before Christmas. The Animus confiscated all our clothes and replaced them by authentic victorian suits and dresses. On Christmas day, we all received presents. Most of the item we received coming from our home world. Which tends to prove the Animus can precisely choose what and who they pick, and from which place and time.

[istoppedtime]

Not an aspect of them I've heard of before. You know if anyone's keeping notes?

[feel_nevermore]

I am. Maybe other people are as well, but I never asked.

[istoppedtime]

Tch. Not a damn bit of organization here...

[feel_nevermore]

[A smirk.] No, it's just one big crazy mess.

There was the snowball fight event too.
