2.3 ✯ video

[wins]

[ the video opens and it's just a view of the night sky from the roof of the mac, clouds drifting overhead and then dark blue encompassing the entire frame. it's a moment or two before jim starts to speak. ]

It's nice that the stars haven't changed much. Even if you can't really see them in a city this size because of all the light pollution. Which is bullshit, everyone should get a chance to see them light up the sky, since not everyone can see them from up there. Yet, at least.

[ there's a bit of a pause before jim sighs quietly ]

How many of you have actually been up there? Anybody done it in this universe or just back home?

A world like this one but slightly different. Who knows where history branched off. Wouldn't that be an interesting thing to look at? Where the other worlds that are very similar to this one went differently.

It might be hard to pinpoint, especially since this place has tech like the Porter.

I never said it would be an easy idea, only that it'd be interesting.

Well, you know what they say about the best things in life.

Somehow I don't imagine investing that time will be one of the best things in my life, though I do know what they say.

Hey, you never know. It could be awesome.

Or I could put effort into my job and earn a living.

voice;

[wins]

You could, but where's the fun in that?

I don't know, where's the fun in being able to take, and afford, a vacation to France?

voice;

[wins]

There isn't any.

[helpedyoupaint.livejournal.com]

Aww, really? Guess you won't be wanting your souvenir then...

voice;

[wins]

You got me a souvenir?

voice;

[helpedyoupaint.livejournal.com]

Of course.

voice;

[wins]

Really?

voice;

[helpedyoupaint.livejournal.com]

I don't understand why you're being so skeptical about this.

voice;

[wins]

The only person who's ever brought be a souvenir from anywhere is my mom.

voice;

[helpedyoupaint.livejournal.com]

Well now you can add me to that list.

voice;

[wins]

So what is it?

voice;

[helpedyoupaint.livejournal.com]

Like I'm going to just tell you! It's a surprise, Jim.

voice;

[wins]

Well, do I get to see the surprise?

voice;

[helpedyoupaint.livejournal.com]

Whenever I see you next.

Tonight?
