∞ 72: Observing the white season [written/action]

[written]

I don't suppose anyone has measured just how deep the snow is now? There haven't been long enough breaks in the weather to allow the snow to melt significantly.

It had been an early worry this season that some residents may be snowed in with the very cold weather we've had. Hopefully everyone is being careful about keeping an eye out for New Feathers and returning abductees.

[Albert has been spending less time in the house lately, for a variety of reasons -- exploring the new community building next to the house, taking care of his horse with the snowing continuing to pile up, and other things exposing him to the elements.

Today, Albert is in the bar, tucked in one of the booths with his journal and some wine. Perhaps he's hoping to get another Kanakan bottle from the bartender. Or he just needs the din of noise to help him think. Or perhaps he's waiting for something to happen.

Later, he'll arrive back at his house in the dark, in the early evening.]

[That's kind of what Nash wants to figure out. He's pretty sure the reason Yuber hasn't slaughtered a bunch of kindergartners by now is that Albert's said/done something, but he doesn't really know what.] She's a formidable nagger, but I somehow doubt he'd know that.

I'm sure this is a tiresome topic for you. Everybody of import must be drilling you already. And who needs that?
latkje: (look i am trying to be serious here)

Do you think they really have reason to? With all this coming and going, I'd expect trust would be difficult thing to find.

[Yeah, Nash find that pretty hilarious. Albert! In a position of trust and authority!] Maybe! Maybe they shouldn't be forging friendships so quickly. But there's a saying, I feel, about interdimensional kidnappings and strange bedfellows, and after all, what do I know, I lie for a living.
latkje: (just keep whistling)

[personal profile] latkje 2010-01-09 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
No kidding. [He takes another sip of wine.] And most people brought here are young, which, explains a lot about the trusting and the justice-seeking. Even you must feel old, by comparison.
latkje: (this totally wasn't my fault)

[personal profile] latkje 2010-01-09 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, I felt old before, so there's really no change. Despite my current decrepit appearance, [and he gestures to his hideously aged face] I was 22 once. I'm not sure I could stand to be 22 twice. So I don't begrudge the youthful their youth! But, I don't have my younger sibling running around.

So if I kept offing myself I could remain, well...[he's not going to say young] like this, eternally?
latkje: (and that's how i became the fresh prince)

So this is just hearsay. Unless all the young people are secretly dead old people. Perhaps you're the younger Silverberg.
latkje: (this will only hurt a little)

Albert, Albert, I'm always skeptical. It's part of my charm. Or my job description, I can't quite remember which.

These villagers— they've since disappeared?

[personal profile] latkje 2010-01-13 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
So I get to be Nash now, instead of Mr. Clovis?

You didn't eat them, did you? That would be quite the scandal, even in Harmonia.

[personal profile] latkje 2010-01-13 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Hah hah. I don't much care what I'm called, [taking another sip himself] but I suppose Nash has more truth in it. If you were to ask.

That it does. But I'm always looking to add more. You came here from 475, right?

Politeness is probably wasted on me. And, rumor was that you'd run off to Zelant.
latkje: (i've got a secret)

[personal profile] latkje 2010-01-13 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
I'd say from the looks of it you'd gotten further. And yes, I do.

[He shifts his weight a bit in his seat.] But you can't blame me for keeping an ear out, you're a useful contact.
