Who: Albinia and YOU
When: Day 64, noonish
Where: Shrine Area
What: A story.

[As promised, Albinia is sitting in the shrine area. The temperature might be a bit cooler there, but that's more for the snakes' discomfort than any of you.]

[And she's just calmly waiting for people to gather.]

It's ironic how that word is enough to explain lots of things.

My condolences that you got stuck on dying planet the sequel.

Re: Mingle

[larcenous]

At least the first one, I was born on.

Re: Mingle

[besomeothername]

... Before the Games started?

Re: Mingle

[larcenous]

Yeah.

Man, bein' born durin' those would'a sucked ass...

Re: Mingle

[besomeothername]

No kidding.

[He is trying to visualize. Nope, nope. Can't even make a tasteless joke about it]

[LET US STEER THE SUBJECT TO:]

But that means you were around when Sabra was flourishing.

Re: Mingle

[larcenous]

[her pacing slows to a halt]

Ah, good. Y'ain't one of those guys who thinks we were always in a cave.

Re: Mingle

[besomeothername]

Were you around for the magical dream swap?

[Grins] I ran across a Sabran there. He showed me the capital of Cepheus in his dream.

Re: Mingle

[larcenous]

I've been here since day nine.

... Chrysos?

Re: Mingle

[besomeothername]

One of the earliest arrivals.

And no, not Chrysos. But I have met the guy. Friend of yours?

Re: Mingle

[larcenous]

Y'could say that. Who was it?

Re: Mingle

[besomeothername]

Mr. Rhodes.

Re: Mingle

[larcenous]

Ahh... That guy.

Did y'like it?

Re: Mingle

[besomeothername]

I did. The Core is pretty amazing, yeah. And the story, too. An atheist country that developed its own way of life independent from the gods.

But sadly-- [A bit of a dramatic sigh]

Cepheus is really the only part of Sabra I know about. Happens when your double and roommates were all on the same team.

[Grin and a wink]

So where are you from?

Re: Mingle

[larcenous]

Tch. My country's way more fun than Cepheus…

… Vulpecula. We're all wanderers—no cities, only a handful of border villages, grass n' grass n' grass for weeks.

Re: Mingle

[besomeothername]

Hey hey. I hear you there. I grew up on the road myself.

Nothing like camping out in the outdoors-- provided it doesn't try to eat you.

Re: Mingle

[larcenous]

All y'gotta do is eat it first.

Re: Mingle

[besomeothername]

The tougher, the better tasting?

Re: Mingle

[larcenous]

Vengeance tastes delicious.

Re: Mingle

[besomeothername]

[Okay. Cracking up now]

I thought it'd be a bit on the cold side. Yanno, like you need to let it sizzle for a little while longer.

Re: Mingle

[larcenous]

There's a couple'a different styles. My favorite's well-stewed.

Re: Mingle

[besomeothername]

So it's all nice and tender? With a side order of some nice steamed accomplishment?

Re: Mingle

[larcenous]

And a cup of bragging-rights on the side.

Re: Mingle

[besomeothername]

[Laughs again]

Okay, okay. I am a believer. Your country sounds way more fun than Cepheus.

Re: Mingle

[larcenous]

Our country was way more fun than anywhere.

Re: Mingle

[besomeothername]

[Wraps an arm around her shoulder]

So tell me what you did for fun. You can't just tease with a statement like that.
