20k Leagues Under the Sea

Who: Youse guys
Where: The game tower
When: Day 381, post graduations

[The lobby of the game tower is made up to look as though it's underwater; the walls shimmer with the reflections of waves, and the lights have the faint blue-green tint of sunlight filtered through water]

[Colorful jellyfish made all of paper covered with printed text float by overhead, and schools of brilliantly colored paper fish skitter away from anything that comes close enough to be considered a threat.]

[Careful: there's a paper shark up near the ceiling]

[You may also find yourself mysteriously done up in steampunk attire]

[Near the far wall, there is an open book on a pedestal. The pages are blank. It is titled GUEST BOOK, and a pen waits nearby.]

My world has a city under the sea, as a matter of fact. I'll look forward to relating it to them.

... Why have you never mentioned this before? It sounds rather wonderful.

Perhaps we should each make a list of wonders. We have a city at the polar cap as well, if you ever really miss the cold.

This has to do with your terraforming, does it not?

Yes and no. Much of the technology used for it was developed for terraforming, but it was done for love of our world. The Olympic Champion Aesop Quarriman - the person largely responsible for getting O.S our terra ignota - hails from Antartica, and it is their dream to see the games held there. It'll come true, if the games don't get cancelled because of the war.

There is so much good in your star. I do hope that war does not tear it apart, and that those that live upon it will come to cherish what they have.

As for the cold, I think you'll find that Caeli from Wild City also seems to enjoy it. Perhaps you can enjoy the winter lodge with him as well.

[Cardinal looks neutral at this proposal, and shrugs.]

I haven't had much to do with him besides a couple of friendly matches. I'm sure he'd enjoy it more with Five.

[Getting up finally and taking their arm. At some point they get healed for their trouble.]

And what is circulating in that head of yours?

Hm?

You seem rather subdued for a moment. Perhaps I was reading too much into it.

You just got crushed and put back together, don't fuss over me. There's nothing to fuss over.

So I did hit upon something.

[Thwacks him lightly on the arm.]

Is that what "there's nothing to fuss over" mean in Amuarotine all of a sudden?

[He laughs.]

I could ask Cosmo for a consensus. But I will let you be.

Gracious of you. Not that I haven't enjoyed it when you've made a fuss over me before. I promise I don't need to be tricked in to accepting it any more.

[They press a hand lightly to his arm.]But Five looks like he wants to fussily over you, for now.

It is his duty and right. Shall I come by later? The physical injury does not truly bother me.

[Cardinal's expression softens, almost sad.]

Yes. Kohime is graduating any minute, actually. So you can use the front door.

I am not fussing, but have you come to terms with it?

... Things were just starting to improve between us. I wish there was more time. But really, I'm thrilled she's getting out.

Then I am glad for both of you.

I'll see you later. [a pause as something occurs to them.]

I'd offer to bring you some food from the graduation, but I don't know if it'll be fit for any palate but Kohime's. I could cook, if you have a preference.
