Kalm, Planet Gaia, Tuesday Night

Dec 30, 2008 23:37

And the travels of the two potion-wielding weirdos continued, with Reno and Rikku catching a portal after Reno's radio broadcast to a town called Kalm, complete with cheery little colonial houses that gave no indication of the horrible state of decay that Midgar was sitting in, somewhere not far to the Southwest.

( Nothing like complete government collapse! )

people: rikku, places: out and about, places: kalm

"Is that why he gets along well with you?" Rikku asked. Innocently. As innocently as she could manage, anyway.

It was kinda neat, being out here. Quiet. She peered up at the night sky overhead, frowning.

"That's weird," she said. "You can barely make out the stars."

Reno walked in silence for a few moments before looking her way.

"Ain't really that weird. We're... pretty close to Midgar, you know? Couple years back, you couldn't even see the sun in Midgar, in the middle of the day, from the top of the plates. That haze we had in Edge last time we were here, that was the sky on a good day, zoto."

Gaia kind of sucked, that way.

"At least it don't smell like rust and ass out here. Could kinda get used to breathin' air like this."

"It's nice," she nodded. "So ... you guys lost the sun because of all the pollution stuff? I mean, it's not lost, it's still there and all, but ... you can't see it any more, yeah?"

She stared up at the faint, twinkling stars again. "You'll get them back. Won't you? When the air clears up again?"

It had to, sooner or later. They weren't using those reactors any more, were they?

Reno gave his shoulder a shrug. A kind of halfhearted one.

"I ain't holdin' my breath any, Rikku. The shit that took the sky away in the first place, that's been goin' on for freakin' forever, yo. Some brilliant Shinra asshole, generations on generations ago, decided that they were gonna make money by suckin' the life outta the planet and turnin' it into energy. That... kinda doesn't leave much in the way of lifestream to heal this shit up with now, yo."

He shrugged again.

"Someone bleeds too much, they ain't gonna heal right, either. The planet can't get no X-Potions, yoto."
