[ the feed opens to a view of the dying sunset and stays that way for a minute or so, until the sun disappears below the horizon, before turning towards the person who had made the broadcast: a pale blonde girl in very weather-inappropriate clothing. that much is evident even in the dim light. ]

I still can't believe this shit happens. And every day, too. You guys are all used to it?... It's fucking crazy.

[ but the sound of monsters rising out of the darkness makes her crack a smile, and she reaches for something leaning against the wall that turns out to be a serrated, saw-like sword. or two of them, even. ]

... Monsters, though, I know how to deal with.

Then how does the sun not set?

[halfagirl]

How the fuck should I know? It just doesn't.

[rapturescreed]

It's your world, I would assume you'd have some idea of how it works.

[halfagirl]

What do I look like, a book? I just live in it.

[rapturescreed]

That doesn't give an excuse to not know a simple thing about your home.

[halfagirl]

Hey, smartass, some of us have better things to do instead of trivia shit like this, all right?

[rapturescreed]

Such as? Really, it's something to be observed, not obsessed over. There should be a fairly logical reason why it doesn't move, tied in with what your world is like.

[halfagirl]

I don't know about moving or whatever, it's just there. It's always been there. That's just the fucking way it is.

[rapturescreed]

Why do you not question it?

[halfagirl]

Why do you not question that the sun disappears? That's not normal.

[rapturescreed]

No, that is normal, and there is a reason for it. As the earth turns, we eventually turn away from the sun, hence why the moon is there at night.

[halfagirl]

[ ... whoosh over her head. ]

Yeah, well... it just doesn't happen that way back at home, or something.

[rapturescreed]

I see. Anything else about this place that is strange to you? Besides the obvious, of course.

[halfagirl]

... Where could I even start.

The major things, followed by the smaller ones of less importance.
