Isn't Christmas over a month away? Why is everyone talking about it already?

It's all over Earth, too. I never bothered to ask last year; is it a national or a worldwide holiday?

The Fire Nation; I'm its leader. But I also spend a lot of time on Earth, in New Jersey.

We have tourists that come to our capital, of course, but they obviously don't come into the palace.

[future-games.livejournal.com]

New Jersey? Really? Somehow I'm not sure I can imagine the leader of an entire Nation in New Jersey.

I live in one of the most tourist-heavy areas of the city. They're hard to ignore.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Why not?

So move.

[future-games.livejournal.com]

It's New Jersey. I'm not sure they have much more besides a whole lot of respectable history and Bruce Springsteen.

I've been considering it. I don't think I can bring myself to do it.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

They have plenty of things.

Why? Is it sentimental?

[future-games.livejournal.com]

I should probably visit before I make assumptions.


It's my home.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Yes, you should.

But if you don't like it...?

[future-games.livejournal.com]

It's still my home and it took me in when I needed it. The good outweighs the bad.
Would you leave your country after everything it's offered you?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Of course not. I didn't suggest you desert your entire country. Can't you just move house?

[future-games.livejournal.com]

Nope.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Why not?

[future-games.livejournal.com]

I painted in the floor.
My landlord would kill me if he knew.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Well, that was stupid, wasn't it.

[future-games.livejournal.com]

Not really. It was for a good cause.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

A painting?

[future-games.livejournal.com]

That's what we've been talking about, yes.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It's just a painting. How could it be for a good cause?

[future-games.livejournal.com]

Not one for fine art, I take it? My paintings are a little different.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It's not like you could sell one that's on the floor.

Different how?

[future-games.livejournal.com]

And here I thought I was a cynic.

They predict the future.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... Really?

[future-games.livejournal.com]

Really.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

And what if I were to say that I don't believe the future is necessarily fixed and unchangeable?

[future-games.livejournal.com]

Then I would have no reply for you. I haven't figured out if the future can be completely changed. I just paint what I see. I don't know anything else but what shows up on that canvas.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... Does it work for anyone?
