☼ the first

Such a terrible shame about Ultranova. It isn't always so unpleasant here, I trust? I would be the first to admit I don't have the strongest of stomachs.

[glancing at his nails - moving on]

And to think, it had been so peacefully quiet... I suppose nothing gold can stay after all.

A little over a month. It feels so much longer than that.

It isn't too outside the realm of possibility for a separate dimension to hold separate laws for the passage of time.

More likely, you've had a lot happen to you.

[lovedthesun.livejournal.com]

Things happen to everyone.

[traptinacoffin.livejournal.com]

With startling frequency, around here.

[lovedthesun.livejournal.com]

So it seems. There is a "storm" coming so to speak.

[traptinacoffin.livejournal.com]

That should be fun. [He sounds somewhere between amused and sarcastic]

[lovedthesun.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure fun is the right word for it.

[traptinacoffin.livejournal.com]

Do excuse me. Which adjective would you deem more appropriate?

[lovedthesun.livejournal.com]

Tragic?

[traptinacoffin.livejournal.com]

Are not people attracted to tragedy, for their own private amusement? Especially when it isn't their own. I'm certainly not the first nor the last to rubberneck such an incident, and I see no harm in admitting so.

[Shahrazad is speechless for a moment.]

I suppose it's a matter of opinion. I appreciate your honesty.

[traptinacoffin.livejournal.com]

Who are we really, if we don't share our opinions.

[lovedthesun.livejournal.com]

Not ourselves to be sure.

[traptinacoffin.livejournal.com]

And what fun would that be.
