Bob & Nora stories 🌿𔓘 🚫 no mass-tagging, #vss365 🌿 ⊹(◔◡◔)⊹
Pinned
Bob talked with Nora about 1983. It was the year that #unmissable songs like "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life" came out. Bob played the record on his player over and over. It soon got scratched, but that only made it feel more real.

You are in the volume of the book,
#unmissable, large-written.
Arrive at my margins in time, I'm smitten,
use what's confined to open my mind.

Even though the diplomacy hadn’t ended quite how Dylan’s Faction would have liked, the other Factions fulfilled their side of the few bargains made. A fresh #delivery of much-needed parts for their heavily battered, over-used ships.
It was a start, at least, but neatly enough to win.

It didn’t matter how organised the patrols were, they needed something more. Something undefinable. It wasn’t enough to fly in formation and attack together.
They needed grace, rhythm. To fly like the notes of a #symphony. Dylan needed them to to take that cacophony & make fighting beauty.

"Kids thought I was an #oddball," Nora said. "I would lock myself in my room, eat custard rolls and listen to Kate Bush. She's like an elf, you know?" Bob nodded. He wasn't exactly a stranger to thinking about Kate Bush, either. Though probably not in the same way.

The talks came to an end with the #oddball conclusion that they would wait until after the systems-wide, traditional, Founders Day celebrations before making any decisions.
Because of course they did. Dylan shouldn’t have expected progress when stalling and complaining still had work to do.

"Um, Bren? Is Riz okay? He's started throwing catty remarks at me like he's a valley girl from those American movies," Valarie asked.
"He's going through a #Clueless phase, hence his outfit. It's very annoying," I replied.
"Like, wateva!" Riz shouted out.

Dylan had never dealt with so many people, that had risen to such power as leading Factions, who were all, objectively, #clueless. They still didn’t understand what awaited them all.
Extinction. He told them, despite his own delegate trying to stop him. He told them flat out.
Extinction!

He had no wish to die, just to have not existed. He was #clueless why he felt that way, but he did. He had cause for joy, but the voice in his head, that savage critic that never stopped, told him he didn't deserve to be happy. He hated depression, so he wanted not to be.

Always arriving breathless
Always almost out of time
A gale of air arriving simultaneous
One thing leads to another
Everything's connected
We learn that from White Rabbits
Hurrying down black holes
How many clues suffice?
When do we run out of time?
We're all in Clueless movies

The circus used to be fun. We laughed at the silly clowns as they cartwheeled around inside the circle, squirting water from their flowers and pushing pies in each other's face. Then someone turned the tent inside out. Now we're trapped in the circle, #clueless how to stop the clowns outside
