The Ultimate Anti-Climax of Ultimate History?

[insertshortrant.livejournal.com]

[So, all of you islanders have been recovering from the horrors of the Zombie Island Mish-Mash of Nuclear AWESOME, doing your island-y things. That's cool, so has Ed, off being his usual slightly-reclusive self and blowing things up in his Gilligan-lab to pass the time. Life returns to what passes for normal here, right?

...and then there's the note. Of course your first thought is 'Oh God, another event?' as would be the logical train of thought--

Wait a minute. Wedding invitation? Of the island and--WHAT?! And on top of that you're free to leave for home or wherever you like?]

...there's no way. This has to be a trick.



(( MINGLE POST HO!!! Are you skeptical of this ~*gift from the heavens*~ as Edward is? Are you one of the insanely hopeful that shall plan for where you'll go? Need to start making tearful goodbyes to your long-time buddies? Shanghai some fellow islanders to your homeworld for nefarious purposes? Get pissed at being brought here recently just to leave? Flip out and go find some Black Materia to call down Mete--wait.

So yeah. Post, mingle, have fun! And assume this is the day of the note-arrival, obvs. Mods, if this is out of line, feel free to stake me out for the vultures. *A*b ))

I would have liked to meet him.

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

I think you'd like him. It's hard not to.

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

Not that it may matter now... but what does he look like?

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

Well... he's got blonde hair that looks like it's never been combed and no brush that's tried has ever come back.

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

... *... I think she's actually trying to keep back laughter from that*

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

[ yaaaay ;w; ] Anyway, he had eyes like mine. Because of the mako exposure, they kind of glow. He was really young looking, you'd think the army would eat him alive but he was pretty tough.

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

*looking into your eyes now* You're right, they do. I didn't really look before.

... Can you see in the dark?

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

Nah, they're more like a side effect... bet they'd make a good nightlight though.

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

You would make for a rather interesting piece in a horror story if that was the case.

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

... Creepy glow in the dark eyes, huh? Guess you're right!

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

Although blue is not the color is think of when I think of fright.

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

You don't?

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

I always thought of red would be a better fit.

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

Hmm... well, true.

But the people of the world feared Shinra. So, they feared our eyes.

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

What exactly IS Shinra, anyway?

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

An electric company-- a power company. It had such influence that it pretty much controlled everything in the world. Nothing took on Shinra.

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

That sounds completely ridiculous.

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

When you're the ones who can harvest the world's only power source, not really.

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

Only? Are you serious?

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Even if there was competition, Shinra would wipe them out in no time.

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

*poooooor mining town*

How did they even manage to get to where they are?

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

I dunno, I didn't really hit the books on that. But technology is a goldmine and keeping technology running is an even bigger one.

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

I can't say I'm all that familiar with the concept.

[thundagathighs.livejournal.com]

Well... I don't buy into all of it either. I just know how it works.

[flatchestking.livejournal.com]

I have seen the marvels of technology and I still don't understand how it works.
