[Video] Before Sirens, 6pm

[gaveherwings]

[The tables nearest to the glass in the lower dining area of The Grey Line restaurant have an excellent view of craggy rocks and tidal pools that make up the shoreline of the island's eastern cove. There are wild sea lions further off, and a family of otters playing close to the viewing area, seemingly blissfully unaware that they have human

So you think it's a good idea to assimilate and lie down like dogs, huh. Pretty fucking typical.

[gaveherwings]

Actually, I don't advocate behaving like an animal at all.

Do I think it's a good idea to integrate ourselves successfully? Absolutely, and I'll stand by it.

[revengeisbitter]

It was your bullshit, I just paraphrased it.

Integrating is accepting your new life in a cage. I won't do it.

[gaveherwings]

Until there are tried and safe means of leaving this island, I accept may not have the luxury of living elsewhere.

...How terribly informative of you.

[He has other words for it, but information is worth enough to him for Naoya to keep his tongue in check.]

[gaveherwings]

Would you prefer something more specific?

[cursestained]

Oh, no, please don't misunderstand. It's been a long time since I've seen someone graciously take it upon themselves to preach without realizing it.

[The worst part is, he sounds almost completely sincere. He chose voice for a reason.]

Mmh. When it's not Health Service Announcements, I suppose I do drag on a bit unfocused...

Sorry, I-

I guess it is a bit much.

You like it here?

[gaveherwings]

I do, that is- I can say with some confidence that although there are things that are troubling, there are some things that are unpredictable, and difficult, for the most part I think I'm happier.

What do you think the next year will be like?

[gaveherwings]

Transitional. Hopefully things won't be too rough, between the companies- but with all the conflict over the Core, I don't know. I hope the people who have become important to me- It's selfish, but I hope they don't go anywhere.

I must admit... there are things here that provide the comforts that "home" can't, for me. [Siiiiip.]

In short, well said.

Coffee can't be that hard to come by in Los Angeles, Prosecutor, can it?

[Video]

[beenwaitinglong]

Ha ha.

Of course it isn't. If anything it's even more plentiful.

[gaveherwings]

It will a year for you- sometime in the summer, is that right?

[She's mildly amused by the rambling.] Wise words. Any new situation requires at least some accomodation. While few of us may not wish to be here, and may actively seek means to leave, it does not do to make unnecessary trouble. It does everyone a disservice.

[She pauses, watching the aquatic scene with a soft smile.] Such lovely creatures, aren't they?

[gaveherwings]

[There's a strange, sheepish gleam in his smile]

They...hold hands so they don't drift away from one another, apparently!

Sometimes animals prove to be more "human" in their behaviours than many will credit to them.

I...wouldn't really know, we didn't have many animals in Romdeau. I've only been to the zoological park here a few times. But Re- ...the cat that used to spend some time in my apartment has some definite human qualities, and I suppose the same can be said for Mr. Muggles.
