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.]

Better than being an ant, isn't it?

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. If it weren't insulting, I'd rather be a corkroach, I hear they're very resilient.

[synanthrope]

They survive almost anything.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

But, there's no point in wishing the be an insect. Most have shorter lives than we do.

[synanthrope]

What do you wish you were?

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

I...don't know? I like being human. I've wondered how it would be like to fly, but doesn't everyone?

[synanthrope]

I can't say I have.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

Then I stand corrected!

[synanthrope]

What's your name?

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

Mae. And yours?

[synanthrope]

Saya Wallace.

It's nice to meet and swap metaphors with you.

[synanthrope]

What do you do?

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

I...don't really do anything at the moment. Aside from looking at an enormous pile of leaves.

[synanthrope]

Do you plan on cleaning them up?

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

I don't think so. The colours are nice, and it's a park. Parks are meant to be covered in leaves during autumn.

[synanthrope]

It's still summer, isn't it?

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

Until it isn't.

[synanthrope]

September 21st.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, if you don't want to be deep about it.

[synanthrope]

I prefer to be accurate.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

Fair enough, fair enough.
