i've been trying to figure out what people even use this "internet" thing for and it seems like most people just write whatever they want on it, right? that's what it seems like. i saw a bunch of questions and some ads and some introductions.

there's an observatory here apparently. they let you go there and look at the stars at night if you want to. i guess the stars would be different here than they would on earth or wherever else. they have different constellations too which i guess makes sense. different star patterns and different cultural basis for deciding what shapes they look like to begin with.

every place is different. they all do things differently. around here you're supposed to hold hands or hug or fuck and maybe here that's no different than taking your shoes off when you go in the house or saying itadakimasu before you eat. i guess you're supposed to just get used to that. living here means that's just what you're stuck with.

i ran out of cigarettes.

so is that what people do when they decide they need money? just go on here and write "hey i'm out of cash anybody want to moonlace"? like it's a fucking bathroom wall or something.

yeah, i know, or get a job. last i checked you can't get a job in the middle of the night on no notice.

cigarettes. candles. incense. maybe someone who knows how to do calligraphy or draw. guess that's a shopping list that'll have to wait until morning.

Asking for help? I guess it depends on who you are, but I like to think it can. Get easier, I mean.

[starmark]

i mean being okay with moonlacing

after a while is it just a thing people don't even think about

[riptidequeen]

Oh.

Well, do you think about touching people you care about or do you just do it? Think of it like that, I guess.

[starmark]

...

that doesn't really help

i usually think about it

[riptidequeen]

I'm sorry.

But again, if you need some chroma or someone to get you something I don't mind. I barely use my chroma for much anyway.

[starmark]

why aren't you asleep right now

something keeping you awake?

[riptidequeen]

Nope!

I just don't need to sleep, or eat... Or drink.

[starmark]

...

how

are you some kind of robot

[riptidequeen]

No. I'm a Gem.

Lapis Lazuli to be exact.

[starmark]

that's a blue kind of speckled stone, right

you're a rock??

[riptidequeen]

[She should be used to this reaction but still...]

Yes, to both.

[starmark]

i've never met a talking rock before

are there talking emeralds

[riptidequeen]

Emeralds are a caste I never had the joy of hanging out with. Different courts.

[Oh yeah that's... Gem stuff that this person wouldn't know about.]

At least back on Homeworld, I mean.

[starmark]

caste

there's a gem...hierarchy?

[riptidequeen]

There used to be, that's probably going to change after some things that happened back home.

[starmark]

oh

it sounds like it was some pretty big stuff for you then

[riptidequeen]

Actually I missed most of it, but yeah.

Instead, I ended up here right after the big thing happened. I doubt you know how that is.

[starmark]

so you know what happened but not how it turned out

that's what you're saying

[riptidequeen]

Yes, that's what I'm saying.
