171 visions of the future // lunch money

Jul 26, 2010 08:30

I woke up this morning with a coin on my tongue. Yuuko had one, as well, but since the price of bao has gone up in recent centuries we are still forced to fund our own lunches ( Read more... )

I think they owe us two more apiece. And then you can buy me lunch.

i_themagician July 27 2010, 01:56:20 UTC

What about my lunch?

moresake July 27 2010, 02:06:24 UTC

Well, maybe if you're nice, I'll share.

i_themagician July 27 2010, 02:11:00 UTC

Buying you lunch is nice.

Coins? They gave you coins?

Like those curse token ones they were giving in exchange for the essays?

i_themagician July 27 2010, 01:58:52 UTC

Not at all like that, but not City money, either. They appear to be pennies from somewhere.

soulofocean July 27 2010, 02:55:31 UTC

That's odd. What do you think could be the deal?

Aside from giving you a horrible taste in your mouth as you woke up, I mean.

[ That was a familiar voice… the man from the other day who told him, in a ‘round about fashion’ about his little recording… ]

A coin on the tongue is a ‘Greek’ tradition…? That is another ‘Earth’ location isn’t it?

[A stab in the dark… these deities do seem obsessed with Earth. ]

i_themagician July 27 2010, 02:04:05 UTC

That is correct. You're from somewhere else entirely, I'm guessing?

eagleofautozam July 27 2010, 02:19:52 UTC

I come from a planet called Autozam.

[Notes- Will have to study up on Earth history in a place so dependant on it. ]

What is this coin tradition exactly?

i_themagician July 27 2010, 02:39:39 UTC

Ah! Interesting place, or so I've heard.

The coins are supposedly placed in the mouths or over the eyes of the recently deceased upon burial in order to pay for their passage across the river that divides the living world from that of the dead.

I'm a bit hesitant to call this a proper curse, though.

How long... was it kept in your person?

i_themagician July 27 2010, 02:10:30 UTC

Potentially the entire length of time I was asleep. I'd be more concerned if I weren't dead already.

slighted_stains July 27 2010, 09:42:04 UTC

...forgive me, how many hours?

i_themagician July 28 2010, 03:33:59 UTC

I don't know, exactly. Nine?

Why do you ask?

littlepuppyeyes July 27 2010, 02:28:15 UTC

A Greek tradition, Clow-san? Do you think the deities are using different cultures from different worlds?

i_themagician July 27 2010, 02:40:25 UTC

That was the first one that came to mind. I'm admittedly a little vague on the details, though. It's possible.

littlepuppyeyes July 27 2010, 02:45:45 UTC

I will look into it, if you don't mind. I see. We have proven that they do have strong magic.
