I'm not sure that anyone's really mapped the stars in this place. Perhaps no one's been here long enough to really study them. And as for astrology, well--

[alldevouring]

Is it perhaps too much for anyone to study or they never given it any thought?

[misterblackbird]

For my part, I know I've simply never given it much thought. I've looked at the stars here, but I've not really studied them. I wonder if the stars here, though, really behave as stars ought to.

[alldevouring]

That's a little ominous to say, if the stars behave like the ought to.

[lingrush]

You make a good point!

[alldevouring]

I do?

[lingrush]

I didn't understand a word you said but you said it with such authority that I'm forced to believe you're right.

[alldevouring]

If you didn't catch what I said, how is there a point to be understood?

[kirinofen]

Time doesn't seem to have any meaning here at all, like life and death.

And I heard that while we're here, time back in our world stops.

[alldevouring]

That's what I've been told, too. So we really don't affect the course of anything out here, there's no conjunctions, no retrogrades... it just keeps repeating itself in a loop, time here.

[kirinofen]

Right. But even so, we change. The people here are different every day. So time is still here somehow and yet...

I don't know. It's weird. I try not to think abut it.

[alldevouring]

Why not?

[holymadonna]

Of course, dear, I'm at your disposal. I was worried about you, Hotaru.

Private

[alldevouring]

Thank you.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry you.

Private

[holymadonna]

Don't be sorry, I am happy to hear you agreeing with my proposal.

Private

[alldevouring]

Okay. Uhm. If my papa ever shows up here, please don't tell him, okay?

[chasingmorning]

I like it better today.

This place is just backwards, never quite what you think it should be.

[alldevouring]

Me too.

It is, isn't it? It's never a good or a bad thing, too.
