[Video] Monday, Week 45.
[Capa's made it through a quick tour and has got himself a place (and a jacket) at the Flop. But he's been restless, so he's been wandering about, trying to get his bearings. Might as well figure out what this whole communicator thing is about.]
After staring at the same seven people for fourteen months, I was beginning to forget what other people looked like. And after spending my life with a dying star, I was beginning to forget what a real sun was like.
I'm still not sure if I'm dead or alive, but either way, I'm starting to think that this might be a good thing.
It didn't really take long to figure that out, either.
[Capa takes a moment to tilt his head up, towards the sun, before he's back on to his communicator. And he's straight to the point.]
I got the tour and I know there are others out there. I'm just hoping I'm not talking to myself here.

[Trance appeared on the screen, outdoors, surrounded by plants. Her hands were covered in dirt, and when Capa took a detour to look up a the sun, her own gaze followed. That star. Was it a bit rude that she was here? She didn't want to invade anyone's space or anything but...it certainly looked like if Verdana's sun had an avatar, they weren't doing a very good job.]
Oh, and you're not talking to yourself.

That's reassuring.
And the story sounds more exciting than it really is. But we were trying to save our star. The one around Earth. [Right. He should probably specify that.]
no subject
[Trance gets a little happy that she recognized the planet where he was from, and then remembered that earth was rather popular here. And just how Earth fared in her side of the universe.]
What was wrong with it? I don't know anything about where you're from, but, I presume that trying to change an outcome with such odds stacked against you was not easy. Every life has to end. Even stars. Stars shine brightly, some burn out quick, some linger, some fade. Others go out with a bang. But you can't fight it. Something else will come from the ashes.

And we wouldn't be humans if we didn't fight the inevitable. So we developed a way to create another star.

The details might be a little boring. [People have told him that. He thinks it's overly fascinating.]
no subject
[Trance looks...rather concerned.]
