Video

[This video gets posted in the wee hours of the morning. It's not an hour too absurd, but if you keep to a decent sleep schedule you might not see this until you wake up. When Larry speaks, it's in a conspiratorial whisper:]

Hey guys. Larry -- eheh -- Larry Laffer here. I, uh, could use some help...

[He points the camera down and into his lap, where a battered and bruised Bounsweet -- despite her injuries -- sleeps peacefully in the cradle created by his crossed legs. She makes contented, dainty little snores all the while.]

This little guy here keeps running off and getting into fights she can't win! I know what she's trying to do, but we're not going to get anywhere like this.

I don't know what the point of these balls are if they can escape whenever they want...!

Heh, aaaaanyway --

[He brings the camera back up to his face.]

-- is anyone around that would --gently-- spar with her? I've...eheh, run out of money for healing items, and I can't get a stone's throw from town before having to bring her back to the Center! So, I'm stuck here for now. I guess I could use a travel partner--or a chaperone--but that'll just get me to the next town without fixing the problem!

I'm in -- [he throws a glance over his shoulder] -- Cherry...grove? Oh, what a cute name for a town-- if anyone's available to lend a hand.

Oh I'm sure we'll run into one another sooner or later! It's very easy to.

I'm Rose Universe! What's your name?
lifebloomsanew: (Laughing but nervous)

Oh!

I...don't think the universe has a center....
lifebloomsanew: (stars in her eyes)

You have your very own universe?

[Welcome to conversations with Rose, Larry.]
lifebloomsanew: (Laughing but nervous)

[personal profile] lifebloomsanew 2020-08-11 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
That's amazing!

I can't even imagine what it must be like to have your own universe! The one I know is so huge...

...I hope you treat all of your planets well.
lifebloomsanew: (deeply concerned)

[personal profile] lifebloomsanew 2020-08-11 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
You're...human?

How is that possible?
lifebloomsanew: (wondering surprise)

[personal profile] lifebloomsanew 2020-08-11 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Even so...

Not even the oldest of my people has a whole universe!

[Though that was likely the end goal, back when Rose still lived on Homeworld.]
lifebloomsanew: (oh boy)

I think that's from an accretion disk from a cloud of hydrogen that collapsed out of mutual gravity millions of years ago.... But I only came to Earth thousands of years ago so I suppose I can't be entirely sure.
lifebloomsanew: (Laughing but nervous)

That's what makes a planet spin!

Oh...I wasn't human, before. I come from another planet, galaxies away from Earth! But I lived there for thousands of years before I came here.
lifebloomsanew: (OWL)

My people are called Gems! We're a very different sort of life form than humans. But we can look very human. I looked like this back home, too.
