My entire week is free, aside from playing games with Yotsuba and possibly cooking her spaghetti. Then there's patrolling -- well, I'm ALMOST free all week

If swampland equals nicer. At least the town is fairly dry.

What's wrong with a little mud? It's better than freezing temperatures... then again, I could just fly over the mud. So, maybe that's just me.

[luthored]

That is cheating. Although in theory if I move fast enough I could walk over it.

[imaginates]

You're not the type to walk in heels all the time, are you?

Have you ever squished mud in between your toes? It feels good. ... Iii did this as a kid, by the way. Not recently.

[luthored]

Not in mud, no.

...I used to do that as a kid. Kansas is pretty big on the storms, after all, so playing in the mud was almost mandatory.

[imaginates]

And now you're too old to do kiddy things like that? Even if having a mud bath at a spa is kind of the same thing?

[luthored]

...I've never had a mud bath at a spa. So at least I can say I'm not a hypocrite.

[imaginates]

Damn, I was so sure. Then again, you're a country girl, right?

[luthored]

Grew up one, yeah. But I ended up working in Metropolis, and then I traveled a lot. I guess I should be surprised I never tried a mud bath. ...I was just always too busy.

You're not seriously going to go play around in the mud, are you?

[imaginates]

No way, not unless someone else offers to shove me in so I can have a reasonable excuse. [a laugh] I'm trying to think of someone I can shove in as a joke, but most of my friends are girls, and girls wouldn't take that very well. The guy friends that I do have wouldn't take it well, either.

I'm 100% city boy. Do you miss the country sometimes?

[luthored]

Most people wouldn't take well to being shoved in the mud, unfortunately.

[ pause ]

Sometimes. But I try not to think about it. It's not part of my life anymore.

[imaginates]

I wonder why. It's not like there's no place to wash up afterward.

Um. Sorry if I brought up homesickness, then. I think the same about L.A. I miss it, but New York's my life now. Well, traveling is, I guess.

What's there to do out in the country? Other than horse back riding and skinny dipping.

[luthored]

Adults are just taught to be grossed out by mud, I guess.

It's fine. My life is different now, and I'm not sorry for that.

There's lots to do, depending on who you hang out with. Almost anything you could do in the city you could do in Smallville. But people who liked clubbing and such usually ended up going to Metropolis for the weekend. ...Or to abandoned buildings and caves.

[imaginates]

Abandoned buildings and caves. I'm guessing there's mud involved, too. Sounds like an artist's inspiration -- I'd take the clubbing, though. What about you?

[luthored]

Horseback riding and skinny dipping.

Have fun with the mountain of horse poop and leaches.
