Blot 27

Rorschach's Journal, November 20th

...this takes me back.

Never needed cold weather gear. Not about to start now.

Strange having mock war fought with perishable ammunition few doors away when we are all conscripts in real one. While jailers hang overhead like poultry farmers in henhouse, no less.

These legs will have their exercise, either way.

where is walter?, snow, selphie's snowball fight

...You know, it hadn't occurred to me, but that is deeply ironic.

Does makes one question this city's priorities, when bothered to ponder upon them at all.

lady_bounty November 20 2008, 04:08:58 UTC

I think using the word "city" is giving this place too much credit.

In my case, at least, neither fighting a mock war nor a real one are among my top priorities.

'Dump', 'joint', and 'hellhole' have made rounds as worthy substitutes.

Am assuming you're about survival and escape then. Which shows you how much we're all more like beasts in a game preserve than soldiers.

I don't see how anyone can go outside and play in that weather.

I'm staying inside with my sweaters and blankets where it's nice and warm, thank you.

Ms. Persephone. Been awhile.

No love for this weather...any truth to that legend about you and Hades?

[Typed] poppingseeds November 20 2008, 04:12:57 UTC

It has!

And no truth to that legend in regard to me whatsoever!

Hurm...but I thought... Of course; alternate universe.

Also: you seem to give literal meaning to "it's all Greek to me" these days. What happened?

That makes two of us. Admittedly, it's slightly less of a hardship to go without such for a viera; we do have fur, after all.

Hmm... I suppose so. Then again, I've always preferred mock warfare to the real thing. There isn't nearly as much glory in battle as governments would have you believe.

Suppose I could be part-rabbit then, Ms. Baltha.

True. Nothing lost at end of day in child's play, after all... suppose real glory comes from sacrifices made by those fighting in service of their country.

viera_lead November 21 2008, 03:01:44 UTC

I'm sure there's someone who could turn you into one if you were really that desperate.

Perhaps. If the sacrifice was necessary.

((OOC: Uh-oh... I think Baltha's about to run up against Rorschach's philosophy...))
