8th step [Actionz]

Mar 13, 2010 22:50

[River is sitting, in the open and in broad daylight, on the bridge crossing the River, and staring intently at the water]

.......I don't think the quiet helps much.

[ And Robin, feeling the urge to stretch her legs, wanders along and comes across River staring at .. her namesake apparently! Pause. ]
That depends on what you use the quiet for.

...Why is a Raven like a Writing-desk?

[She tilts her head ever so slightly to look back at Robin with a, "What're ya gonna do with that" look on her face]

[ Answer it with a smile, of course. Just, in her way. ]
They lack variety, they are flat and rather like Southbirds, never face the wrong way.

A better question would be when are they not like writing desks?

[Action] myowndrumbeat March 14 2010, 18:07:33 UTC

Circular definition; a definition that is circular.. A Raven isn't a Writing-desk unless given the human conceptualization of anthropomorphic tendencies. The better question is, 'why do you perceive a Raven is like a Writing-desk?'

[She looks at the water again] I suppose I'd have to quantify tarts as well then..

[Action] ohara_native March 14 2010, 18:14:42 UTC

They do have similar qualities, I find. Even without the anthromorphic tendencies. [ What a strange girl. ] Do you find it necessary to do such a thing often?

...I fixed the bible once.

[Her face goes distant at that, like she's sifting through lost memories]

[Action] ohara_native March 14 2010, 18:30:28 UTC

[ .. it's like she speaks in riddles or code. Robin thoughtfully moves to sit down at the water's edge about an arm's length from the girl, giving her her space. ]
Is that so?
[ Watching the girl carefully too - she loves riddles and enigmas and you are certainly all of that, River. ]

So-so.. [She smiles oddly for a moment] Orange Catholics. Why do you suppose they like that, hmm?

[Action] ohara_native March 14 2010, 18:52:05 UTC

Orange Catholics..?
Perhaps they favor the color.

[Action] myowndrumbeat March 14 2010, 19:51:53 UTC

Favor! Exactly! They show it unto the things that have no thought to show the thoughts of those who are favored upon. [She smiles]

...Orange didn't deserve it though.

[Action] ohara_native March 14 2010, 20:16:28 UTC

Perhaps that might be so, but there is no change for it, I imagine. What is done is done.

[Action] myowndrumbeat March 14 2010, 20:21:06 UTC

[Eyes her] Done?

[Action] ohara_native March 14 2010, 20:24:14 UTC

[ She tilts her head. Hrm. Was that a code to conclude a conversation? ]
I mean you cannot change what has happened in the past.

[Action] myowndrumbeat March 14 2010, 20:30:35 UTC

The effects of the present alters everything on a time-web.. People seem to caught up in the future.

[She eyes her again] Do you want to change your past?

[Action 1/2] ohara_native March 14 2010, 20:31:55 UTC

[ That.... is actually a sore point with her. Something that haunts her, constantly. If she could... ]

[Action 2/2] ohara_native March 14 2010, 20:33:26 UTC

... were I able to do such a thing, I would never have met the companions I have today.

Our past, good or bad, is what makes us who we are. Despite everything... I would not wish to tamper with what has already happened.
