◎third journey | video;

[ he's sitting in the oxygen gardens, a wooden pipe in his mouth and large white smoke-rings curling from the end of the pipe. there's an open book in his lap and there's a lingering weariness in his posture, despite how relaxed he seems.

still, when frodo speaks up, his voice is fond, light, moving his pipe away from his lips. ]


Where I come from, smoking pipeweed is considered an art. Making good smoke-rings like this--there's nothing quite like it.

[ frodo pauses; glances at his book then. ]


My dearest friend told me that he wondered if anything we've done would ever be put into 'great stories.'
"The stories that really mattered, that stayed with you."  As a lad I spent most of my life reading about stories, learning them and I'd always had my favorites with my Uncle. He went on a many great adventures.

[ he smiles quietly ]
Sometimes stories can be..quite different than we imagine them to be when we begin them. The same could be said of adventures.

Do you have a story like that? One that's stayed with you. Perhaps something you knew as a child, or one you found in a book. Perhaps it isn't a story but a moment that you've shared and relived with others over and over again. I'd be glad to hear them.

Not as long as some people, but I'd say any time spent here is too long. I think I got here a little over a week ago. Maybe two.

[It's hard to tell when you're in space. Maybe he should start making tally marks on the wall like they do in the movies.]

How about you?

Three months? Geez...

What do ya mean by "different"? Everything seems to drag on here, is that it?

[That's probably just Firo being impatient and bored.]

But then... what are they? Are there still seven?

[A small but fundamental change is going to make adjusting even harder.]
justdumbluck: (Hm)

If they changed that then are all the months different too?
justdumbluck: (Hm)

Like January, February, March and stuff like that? Yeah, months aren't something I'd expect to change.
