[Crouched on the floor of the tram station, he feels panic wash over him.]

People did get hurt by the scary rain... I hope I don't if it happens again, it would hurt lots.

[He looks back out the window, worried about this place.]

[he's out on the street close to the Hostel, and reading the news only ends with him staring at his CLD with an expression close to horror.] Is that it...? Could Mother Nature truly be so cruel?

[Liquid would have just walked past if he hadn't heard that. Really, he would have. He had more important things to do than talk to strangers. Still, the plaintive tone of the other man made him halt and stare over at him.]

You don't get out much, do you?

[He heaved a sigh.]

Acid rain has been around for a long time now.

[Looking up, he gives the stranger a brief smile before he gets... well, more plaintive.]

It's because of pollution, right? And it ruins statues? This is a lot worse! Rain is supposed to be something that gives life... not death.

[Oh, you asked for it, Mister. Although he does note the smile, he doesn't return it. There's a faint note of scorn in his voice, only a faint one ( ... )

Party prank? But why would anyone do that?

I can't believe this could happen to the water on this planet...

[Frowns.] Jeez, Sanctimonia's sure filled with a lot of jerks.

They have a point.

[ voice ] wontstopjust_go November 8 2010, 01:49:30 UTC

All I see are creeps that don't care if people are dying!

[ voice ] youropponentis November 8 2010, 01:55:06 UTC

Maybe.

But most of the people who died, died of direct exposure. Should we be angry that someone pointed out that they caused their own deaths? They had been warned explicitly about the effects of the rain, after all.

[Not so much the fate of those who didn't believe, but the fate of those who didn't listen. The idea of superiority, Ami could agree with. The idea that it was tied to faith of some kind?...Not so much.]
