History of the Moon: Part Nineteen

[cozmic_travel]

I suppose now that people are becoming aware of the situation about the chip, requests have become less frequent. Very good, as it's eased our burdens here at the hospital considerably not to have to deal with terminal cases. And, as a reminder, there is nothing we can do about the "curse" that was spread about. I COULD have developed a medicine

...the moon?

[cozmic_travel]

Yes. The Moon.

[alittleraven]

It's just there.

[cozmic_travel]

Is that truly all you think of it?

[kan_chyan]

It's where Kaguya hime lives, and rabbits make mochi and play~♥

oh you~

[cozmic_travel]

... Really now?

Why give a serious answer, when you can play around~

[kan_chyan]

Of course! Everyone knows that. You can even see the rabbits when you look up at it in the night sky.

and you know enough of her canon to know WHY THIS IS HILARIOUS

[cozmic_travel]

Fascinating. Tell me more of this, please.

[zetsubo_sensei]

You do realize once this... Infection is nulled, there will be a drastic increase in requests.

As for the moon... There are far too many to be significant.

[cozmic_travel]

You speak as if the infection will be nulled at all, dear. I should not need to repeat that a cure does not exist.

Too many? Please, I have time.

[zetsubo_sensei]

I had not heard, though I cannot say I am surprised. One could not cure a paper cut in this place.

Do not all planets seem to have a moon? Some, no, but those are made up by the many moons of other--possibly larger--planets. Even here there is two moons! I'm sure many other planets possess a moon as well. Hence, the moon--or a moon is no more special than the next.

[cozmic_travel]

Oh, that's very true, but it's not exactly what I was asking for. You're from an Earth-like world, yes? Tell me your thoughts, specifically on YOUR moon, dear.

[oneenemyleft]

"Time."

[cozmic_travel]

... Time?

[oneenemyleft]

That's... what I think of when I look at the moon.

[cozmic_travel]

And why is that?

[allmoveone]

I think of night, but somehow, I don't think that's the sort of answer you're looking for.

[cozmic_travel]

Deeper thoughts would be lovely.

[allmoveone]

The moon doesn't mean much to me.

[cozmic_travel]

And why is that?
