Who: Furiosa and you
Broadcast: Video
Action: Iskaulit
When: throughout the week

[Furiosa is more or less fully recovered from her ordeal on the snowy mountain. There's a lingering cough, and stiffness where she'd been banged up from the avalanche, but she's out and about and on the move. She's come to the gardens for a little bit of exercise, helping tend to the plants, while getting some quiet reflection and time around green things. She's still missing a replacement prosthetic while Tyrion works her up a new one, but it doesn't seem to slow her down any.]

[She spends some time just walking around the ship and seeing what other establishments have been popping up. She might stop in the Málum for a drink and a bite to eat.]

[Eventually she ends up back at the gardens for a rest and takes a seat with her back against a tree. She's playing through the audio file Atroma had left her a while ago - twelve hours of ambient truck noises. She's been thinking a lot about home, lately, and remembered Miss Giddy and how she was instrumental in getting Furiosa and the Wives the chance to escape.]


We had History Men and Women in my world; people with the past written out on their skin, stories always on their tongue, full of wisdom and ... and inner sort of strength they gave to others.

[In some small way, Furiosa has felt the need to fill that role here; in as much giving strength to others. The story telling? Not so much, and the physical branding ... she had enough of that with Immortan's symbol at the back of her neck.]

How did you share your history, in your world?
paraclete: (in any case,you are always there)

[It's always up in the air, whether or not Kaworu will actually give a straight answer to any given question... But he'll at least be honest in his ambiguity:]

When I saw the world for myself, it was different from what they wanted me to see.
paraclete: (love comes tumbling down again)

I decided I liked what I saw. And I decided to make my own choices.

[He speaks gently, fondly, and with vocal approval. Whatever choices he made, this is not the voice of a boy who regrets them.]
paraclete: (and i have no compass,and i have no map)

If you don't have free will, you don't have anything. But sometimes an individual is left with nothing but the only absolute freedom life has to offer.

[Though his own outlook on life has been shifting, and he's quietly questioning himself.

Anyway,]


Those keepers of history you knew—did they teach others as well?
paraclete: (sonnet to eva)

[His smile here is sympathetic, like he knows what she's talking about—from a personal point of view—or like he understands her. But he has great stake in being mysterious, so at first, that smile is his only answer.

It's her second statement that gets him going again.]


A human being is hungry for its history, but there are those who would starve a man.

[He sounds like he could be giving a eulogy.]
paraclete: (so precise and so pristine)

[His own soft sigh, not quite a laugh, isn't dry, but instead is like a fog preceding dawn, grey and cool and all tired out. He's still smiling, of course, but it's wan.]

There are those who would kill a man. [It's a gentle amendment, but he knows it's an understatement as well.]
paraclete: (i've no obvious thorns)

I can only hope you've been able to share in similar joys, as well, then.

[One might think to call him optimistic.]
paraclete: (let it be done,let the others evolve)

[Those things definitely seem... good... but Kaworu's ideas are more moon-headed.]

Goodness and growth. Love and learning. The company of a friend.

[He's 100% soft and earnest when he says this.]
paraclete: (and to a place divine)

video.

[Kaworu's face carries some of the most honest joy he's able to convey, as gentle as it is.]

Then I am very happy for the both of us.
