do you need a second opinion on your shopping trip?

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

[ you want Kiden to tag along while you change into swimsuits?? WHO ARE YOU AND WHERE'S ZEPHYR ]

can i get that in writing

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

[.........the thought that Kiden might follow him into the dressing room--instead of staying outside--has not occurred to him.]

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

[ well, she'll only barge in if he refuses to come out! B) ]

awesome! let me know when youre going

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

[She might need to remind him.]

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

[ she will. ]

sure, we can kill two birds with one stone

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

[He may be a bit interested. Just maybe.]

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

....i meant the lotion but fuck, now that you mention it, i didnt come here with my bikini

lets do this

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

--> action!

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

[ Is by the entrance as stated, a few minutes later! ]

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

[Zephyr ambles over and gives her a wave.]

Hey.

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

Hey yourself.

[ Waving right back! She falls into step next to him, puffing on a cigarette while they walk to town. ]

So, in Basel, do they have like, fountains and stuff?

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

Fountains?

[He thinks about this for a moment.]

Some of the rich people do, but even then, they're pretty rare. Waste of resources.

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

Huh...but you do have showers and bathtubs and shit, right? Indoor plumbing? What about sewers?

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

Yeah. We've got all the plumbing we could need, but you're just not going to see large bodies of standing water anywhere.

The damn place is mostly metal, so that sorta shit would just get rust everywhere.

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

Guess so, huh? Does it rain, or is it all...'climate-controlled'?

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

Fuck, if we had the technology to make it climate-controlled...

[He cracks a grin and then laughs.]

We still get rain. Most of Basel's open air.

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

So wait, the air's polluted so you make this...machine tower thing, but it's open air...? How does that work?

[ VIDEO GAME LOGIC KIDEN, UNSTABLE MOLECULES ]

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

[Zephyr gives Kiden a "...isn't it obvious?" look and then shrugs his shoulders.]

Basel purifies the air directly around it. Kinda need the air to get into it to do that, right?

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

[ Eyeroll. ]

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you had fancy-schmancy filtering systems. So if you have the tech to build this thing and do that, you can't even control the weather?

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

[Zephyr gets this mildly irritated look on his face. It's not really directed at Kiden, but more of a... general "Why do I have to give a history lesson?" sort of expression from someone who... honestly doesn't care much for it.]

They built this thing ages ago. I'm gonna guess they had more shit going for 'em back then, but it's been so long... [He rubs the back of his neck, a slight frown curling his lips.] Shit breaks down, and seeing as we're stuck living on a goddamn tower now, we don't have what we need to keep the tech up and running or somethin'.

[The hand on his neck then moves to make a vague gesture in the air.]

So when Basel starts wearing down, people start lookin' for other ways of stayin' alive. On a more... personal level, kinda.

[And with that, he falls silent rather abruptly and continues to walk in silence, arms swinging loosely by his sides.]
