[One beautiful blond woman tilts her head at the camera for a second before remembering what she was about to say.]

This isn't my body. It isn't even the body I had before this body. And the sky is blue and not dark.

I don't know what's going on. Everything is bright, there are plants and animals... It's a wonderful place, but I don't see any A-rays, just people who look like Godo. Are they really all pure humans?

...I wonder what happened to the people living on my body, if I've left. I don't think I know how to dream, so I must have left.

[So kind of like demigods. Only not.]

O-oh--I'm sorry, I got distracted by all that. Do you have any questions about where you are right now?

[video]

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

Where am I? That's the first question.

You're in a city called Prospero, somewhere in America--on Earth, I mean. Actually Earth, not 'used to be' or anything like that.

This is Earth? It's wonderful! Everyone would have been so much happier if it had been like this when I lived there.

[croibhristeoir]

That's right.

...What exactly is it like for you, then?

[She gets quieter.]

The planet is dead. Plants don't grow, animals can't survive. Humans only lived as long as they did because of technology. The sky is dark and grey, and Godo told me that once you get past the grey layer it's red. I didn't even know that it was blue once.

[croibhristeoir]

Wh...I don't understand. How could that have happened?!

[video]

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

It was a very long time ago. Nobody's alive who remembers how humans killed the planet, and I don't know if they would talk about it even if they did.

[croibhristeoir]

...well.

That really isn't remotely what I expected to hear today, to be quite honest.

[video]

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

I never expected to see a living Earth either.

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

Well, it looks like you've found one.

[video]

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

It's beautiful.

[croibhristeoir]

It gets a little less so at night, unfortunately.

I heard once that you could see stars. Is that true?

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

Well, yes. They're a little harder to see in the city, but they're there.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

So it must be beautiful.
