011 ⇨ falling down falling down

[brobeforehos]

[So there's Mae, standing under one big oak tree in the park - one of the City parks - kicking absentmindedly at the fallen leaves. Autumn spirit's kicking in, she's got a bag with a new scarf in her hand, and a book taken out from the library.

That'll be for later. Meanwhile, the pile of leaves continues to grow.]

Must be symbolic, really. There's supposed to be a cycle - circle of life, and everything - that all living things must go through.

But of course, things don't work that way in the City.

[ooc; video or action is fine, I think.]

Or autumn is rather overenthusiastic, this year.

It's a little disturbing. They won't stop.

[signatures]

I would say I feel rather bad for those living on the ground floor.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

A new type of flood.

So to speak. I didn't think these trees had so many leaves, though it seems rather ominous to what the winter months might hold.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

Oh god - I hadn't thought of that. Guess it's a good thing I bought a scarf.

Suppose someone ought to invest in a plow.

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

Maybe they just want us to rake a shitload of leaves.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

For free. The deviants.

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

I was thinkin' more slave drivers.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

Oh, no - I don't think so. If they were that, we'd be forced to rake them up. As it is, it's just a hint.

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

Guess you've got a point. They haven't shown up with the shackles and cattle prods yet.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

Shh - no jinxing.

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

[Dean chuckles a bit.] Gotta watch that sorta thing.

[synanthrope]

All living things?

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

It's the general consensus, I think.

[synanthrope]

I'm sure there are living things in this City that would disagree with you.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

Immortal living things?

[synanthrope]

Yes. Things that by nature cannot die naturally.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

But it's there, isn't it? The end of the line, for everyone? At some point...

[synanthrope]

I don't like to assume things. But why do you think that must happen to everyone?

[ Pausing in passing, his brow quirks and he tilts his head first at the tree and then at Mae. ]

It doesn't have to be symbolic. Depends on how you want to read into it - or not read into it.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head and turns around to see who talked.]

Hopefully the talking to myself isn't symbolic of anything.

[dropkick]

[ He coughs shortly though it might sound a bit like a laugh as he turns his focus back to the tree, brow arching as a leaf zigzags an inch from his face. ]

Probably only that you're sane. Opposite of what it'd be anywhere else.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

My possible insanity amuses you! Well this is a shock.

[And here Eames was hinting at a dull dull Arthur. She grins and pockets the device in her jacket.]

Isn't it weird that they keep growing?
