_{[Nausicaä stands atop one of the taller pieces of ruins, one leg up as she peers away from the mirror. A breeze whips at her flying jacket, the dark blue cloth rippling around her legs. She finally turns back to the mirror, looking thoughtful.]}

These ruins... they remind me of some of the ones back home; the cities and towns that were swallowed by the Sea of Corruption. Except here there's no miasma. No spores. I wonder what happened...?

_{[She pauses and shrugs.]}

At least we're not going to starve to death anytime soon. But still....

_{[Feel free to come upon her. Or just talk.]}

Oh?

_{[She blinks.]}

Just thinking of home.

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

That's some kinda home.

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

It's the world I live in.

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

I guess if life gives you lemons...

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

...lemons?

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

It's...

[She doesn't know what lemons are?]

It's a kind of... sour fruit...

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

_{[In the post-apocalyptic future, there are no lemons.]}

Oh! I don't think I've ever tried them.

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

Most people don't them on their own, but they're used in recipes, and to make lemonade - basically, sweetened, diluted lemon juice.

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

Sounds like it'd be good.

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

It can be, though you'd be surprised how people manage to mess it up...

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

Well, that's true of any cooking.

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

Aha, true... I've seen some pretty incredible things...

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

The miracles of cooking.

_{[She sits, peering down at the other woman.]}

I'm Nausicaä, by the way.

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

[She shields her eyes as she looks up.]

Larry Vincent. Nice to meet you.

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

I wish it was under better circumstances of course, but it's still a joy.

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

You take what you can get.
