the garden
 Early in the morning, yet again, the test subjects get to wake up to Calhoun’s dulcet tones. Through a megaphone. “Hey! Lazy test subjects, get your human rears up!” Once everyone is moderately awake and gathered, Calhoun will continue. “You all did such a great job last round, and everyone’s been so pathetic lately, that I, your glorious, merciful host, decided to open a room for you! Remember, rooms are a privilege, not a right! That means!” He takes a deep breath to scream out the next parts: “Don’t. Break. My. Stuff!!” He eyes at a few people in the crowd before leading everyone up to the second floor, where a new door will now be openable. Once inside there is a surprisingly refreshing breeze and bright light flooding from the ceiling. Welcome to the Garden! The roof of the garden is made up of what appears to be grids with screens depicting a blue sky during daylight hours and a starry night during the evening (they must be sunlamps because the light from the ceiling feels warm and, yes, finally some vitamin D for you sad test subjects). It appears to be more of a dome than anything else, but the grass is green, there’s a few trees around, some flowers, a bench here and there, and even a little waterfall that creates a small creek around the garden! Sure, there aren’t any edible plants, fruits, or vegetables around, the water is freezing, everything feels almost artificial, but this is a lot better than the cold, monochrome, and bleak look of the warehouse so far, so unless everyone else wanted to stay in the boring lobby instead of here, there wasn’t much to complain about. Well, have fun! Enjoy your new surroundings. |

Hershel had to pause to consider this a moment. "I don't know... I think it would be difficult, but if you really loved them it would be worth the time you could spend together." He answered after a moment. "Still, in some cases it probably would be better to let them go and move on. Being a planet away seems like a good example of that."
no subject
He elbowed Hershel. "Now who's the romantic?"
no subject
Totally. "Come no, Heiji, I'm sure you'd be willing to do the same if you found someone you truly loved and you couldn't be together for a while. You're... you." That's actually a compliment, Heiji was a loyal, good sort of dude in Hershel's eyes. Could have put it better though.
oh no that face
Heiji picked at the grass a little. "Wonder if you see any meteor showers or anything if you wait long enough."
i so rarely get to use that icon
He huffed an amused breath. "Somehow I doubt Zero would care that much." He regarded the sky. "Where I'm from this would be a spring sky, I think. In the first memory I got back I was outside at night, I can just barely remember looking up to see the stars. They were very clear, I think Stansbury was a little town, not much in the way of light pollution."
And he paused. "Ah, sorry, just I wonder if we'll ever get enough memories back to remember just a quiet night of looking at the sky before heading to bed, small, everyday things like that."
you should use it more often tho
"Ya know, you really seem like you'd be at home living in the countryside. I mean, you can't see a lot of stars in London, right? If not Stansbury, maybe you should move somewhere quiet where you can lay out on the grass like this."
ask and you shall recieve
"No, not London, that's for certain. Far too much going on to see the stars." He smiled a bit. "London has other things though, like Gressenheller. I suppose Osaka is a bit more like London then Stansbury, wouldn't you say?" He imagined it as quite the city from everything he heard from Heiji.
yes good
"Well, it's definitely not out in the country," said Heiji. "But it ain't as full of people as Tokyo. That's a good thing, in my book. I mean, how many folks you really need walkin' around? It does get a little crowded during festivals, though. Plus a lot more lively."
no subject
"Do you remember any specific festivals?" He asked, sounding pretty curious. He couldn't remember a thing, maybe Britain didn't festival a lot, or maybe it was locked in his memories. "When we go there after all this I'd love to see one."
