[York's been...well, depressed lately. Maybe that's why he's feeling talkative when he notices the date and dictates to the journal.]

Earth Day...I miss Earth, you know? Not just the maybe-Earth we saw in LA--I miss that, too--but my Earth. Last bastion of the human race, headquarters of the UNSC. Last I heard, the Covenant found it and half

Earth Day?

[encryptedlock]

Yeah, you know. Day when you're supposed to focus on taking care of the planet.

[jammin_with_ed]

We don't have that. Not anymore. Rock showers make taking care of most of the planet too hard.

[encryptedlock]

Rock showers? Damn. Where does everybody live?

[jammin_with_ed]

It's liiiiiiiiiiiike tornadoes on old Earth. They got good at predicting when and where they'd fall.

[encryptedlock]

Still! Did they have weapons to shoot them down if they came near a town or something?

[jammin_with_ed]

Mmmm not really... Not enough warning... Mostly people just rebuild.

Not a lot of people left anyway.

[encryptedlock]

That...really sucks, Ed. No wonder you'd never been to Disneyland.

[And you're way too young for booze, or he'd owe you a drink.]

[jammin_with_ed]

Edward doesn't mind, Edward's never known anything else.

[encryptedlock]

Doesn't mean it's right.

...Here. Too young for booze, but have the vir--er, non-alcoholic version.

[He'll wish for a booze-free strawberry daquiri to appear in her room!]

Awww!

[jammin_with_ed]

[Her eyes light up as the drink appears next to her on the floor]

Thank you! [she picks it up and takes a sip] Tasty! Tasty!

[encryptedlock]

Least I can do.

[jammin_with_ed]

Edward's going to do something nice for York and Delta, then!

[is quite happily sipping her drink]

[encryptedlock]

Aww, you don't have to do that!

[jammin_with_ed]

But Edward wants to! For you and Delta!

[encryptedlock]

Well then...thanks! We'll look forward to it.
