In front of the dorms, Friday night

Gladys stood as still as only a golem could, staring up at the sky, eyes glowing brightly while the genet scampered around her feet.

The cold didn't bother her, and even if she did, she wouldn't have gone inside. How could she, when there was river of coloured lights in the sky?

She was beginning to believe that Gavin had been right: the stars were alive.

[ooc: open, yup!]

"Hey Gladys," Jamie said coming back from... no where. "Beautiful night, huh?"

"Hello, Jamie" She didn't look away from the sky. "The Stars Are Alive."

"They sure look that way," he admitted. "Better than fireworks."

"Yes. And No Buildings Are Exploding."

"Which is always a bonus," Jamie agreed. "Burning buildings is always a downer during a celebration."

Gladys took her eyes off the sky for the first time. "Is There A Celebration?"

"Fourth of July," Jamie said with a nod. "It's celebrating our country's birthday. Kind of."

[identity profile] cheminthehead.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Your Country Has A Birthday?" Her eyes flickered. "I Did Not Know Countries Could Have Birthdays."

"More like an anniversary," Jamie explained. "When they declared their independence from England. It was a big deal."

"Oh." Her eyes flickered again. "Did It Happen Recently?" she asked.

[identity profile] multi-madrox.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
"Over 200 years ago," Jamie replied. "So I guess that depends on your point of view."

[identity profile] cheminthehead.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Her eyes flickered again, almost as if she was amused. "From My Point Of View That Is Recently. How Do You Celebrate?"

[identity profile] multi-madrox.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
"Fireworks. Parades. Grilling large quantities of meat and then forgetting what we were celebrating."

[identity profile] cheminthehead.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
She considered that. "It Is Important To Be Independent," she finally said. "It Is Good That You Celebrate."

[identity profile] multi-madrox.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"What about you?" Jamie asked. "You have a holiday that you typically honor or celebrate?"

[identity profile] multi-madrox.livejournal.com 2008-07-06 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh?" Jamie asked. "Maybe you should make one. Or do you celebrate anything?"
