[You know she almost, almost signed on for that one mission. A guard, surviving, she knew she could handle it. But then when she saw that "desert" thing. she has no idea what a desert is, so today she is at the library researching that, mostly because she really doesn't have much better to do today. She is clearly in a better mood though- all her earrings are in place (one of them she even thinks might be gold) and she she has a shiny nose stud in place. But... as she learns more and looks into these things more-

..Jesu.

She's gotten over being afraid of the sun (somewhat) in Luceti, mostly because of how dreary winter is, but that desert that... she flips open her journal]

Hey, Luceti. Talk to me 'bout the sun. Some of you got tales for it, right? Gotta.

[Feel free to answer her or see her in the library]

Comments

[makeitquick]

Fair.

[A pause]

How's Luceti?

voice;

[makeitquick]

Even if it gave us "cancer" - still better than the sun in Haddyn.

[makeitquick]

I get that tale, or should I ask 'bout that circle?

voice;

[makeitquick]

Point. Still, strikes me as kinda hokum gods are going 'round like Uppers people. Not surprise, 'cus, just kinda toy.

[herotypical]

It's okay to feel happy and sad about it. I think there's room for that. God -- I've felt it often enough.

[ voice ]

[lunas]

Huh? You've never heard of the ancient Egyptians? ... Geez, and then they say I don't pay attention during class..

[ or maybe they're just from some other world, Usagi. :| ]

[thelittlemacthatcould]

Whoa, you're way in the future! What's it like? D'ya got robots walkin' 'round on the street?

[makeitquick]

No.

[Really?]

[ voice ]

[makeitquick]

Never had a lotta class myself, how 'bout you give me a lesson now?

[makeitquick]

[Pfft-] Yeah, guess there is. Fine, then I'm both and maybe feeling a little rocketship she moved in next to me.

[ voice ]

[lunas]

Well.. Ami-chan's actually much better at this than me, but sure, I'll try my best!

[ clearing her throat. ]

The ancient Egyptians lived.. well, a long time ago! In ancient times and all! And they were really old and mysterious and all that, and uh.. they had their own stories about nature too, like they thought the way the river flooded was because gods did it! And lots of people in other countries back in that time also thought up gods and stories to explain how things in nature happened.

[ voice ]

[makeitquick]

Gods does kinda seem to be the trend for all the ancient spin. [A beat, and she rolls his shoulders] How ancient we talking, and why mysterious?

voice;

[alloys]

...That so? Is this going to be the part where you tell me what the sun on Haddyn is like?

[Because he's kind of curious.]

[thelittlemacthatcould]

Oh. I was jus' wonderin' 'cause y'see that kind a' thing in shows an' sci-fi movies an' stuff.

[herotypical]

Next to? Why not with?

[Voice]

[shadedsunlight]

History is an interesting thing. Stories of the people that came before us.

But back to the sun. Scientifically speaking and relating directly to Earth, it's a star located at the center of the Solar System. The sun provides sunlight, a primary source of energy living creatures need in order to live, whether it's directly or indirectly.

[voice]

[hisdarkmark]

In that case, you've already heard most of what I'd have to say. How unfortunate.

voice;

[makeitquick]

Mutates people. Little stuff like this hair I got, or big things like makin' people radies.

[makeitquick]

No, no robots. Got carrier pigeons, guess.

[makeitquick]

...She called it.

[Voice]

[makeitquick]

Huh, that important? Vital... guess it does keep things bright and warm. [Energy though? Never thought about it like that]

[voice]

[makeitquick]

So why not tell me what isn't most?

[Voice]

[shadedsunlight]

Granted, things might be different across different worlds, but that seems to be the standard? Either way, plants need sunlight to survive, and plants produce oxygen as well as being a major food source.

On the other hand, if there's too much sun and not enough water, you can get droughts. Water sources drying out, crops dying, famine. Prolonged exposure to sun can also result in sunburns.

voice;

[alloys]

Radies. Radiation, I'm guessing. What happens?

[herotypical]

...Did you offer?
