146. Cube

It's been six years.

Maybe I should just stop counting after this. Is it worth it? All that stuff about seven years...

[Sheena remembers her last 'anniversary' with neutrality, but the fallout with a hard grimace and clenched fists.]

There'd better not be some stupid statue anywhere this time.

Hey. Up for a talk?

[[ooc: Six long years ago I joined this silly game. I can't wrap my head around this and I have lived it. You guys are amazing.]]

That sounds...I would hate that.

Can't you just tear it down?

[ voice ]

[corrinesbell]

It's pretty solid. And I have a feeling that even if I tried, it'd just show up again the next day, or I'd get something worse as "punishment" for doing that to the "gift" from the Malnosso. It's better off just to leave it there, at least it's only behind the house.

Uhm...

You could redecorate it then?

[ voice ]

[corrinesbell]

Redecorate...the statue? With what?

[ voice ]

[notyourutopian]

Well. Curtains? Or ribbons, they were popular in Rapture.

Or flowers, maybe...

[ voice ]

[corrinesbell]

Maybe I should just throw a really big blanket over it.

[ voice ]

[notyourutopian]

Well, you could. But then it would just be a statue covered in a blanket.

[ voice ]

[corrinesbell]

Or a statue covered in ribbons or flowers or whatever. It doesn't change it really.

[ voice ]

[notyourutopian]

But if you grow them properly, they'll cover up the statue. And be less obvious than a sheet.

[ voice ]

[corrinesbell]

I'd agree with you, but every time I've tried to grow flowers or anything here, it hasn't ended well. Other people do it just fine, so I guess it's me with the problem.

[ voice ]

[notyourutopian]

Maybe someone else could grow them up around it for you? In Rapture, people would grow rose bushes up into shapes around pillars and things.

[It was one of those 'people yearned to not be at the bottom of the ocean' things people did.]

Big nobles' gardens in Meltokio had that kinda stuff too. Not the kinda thing I really like, though, thanks anyway.
