[NEXUS] Sent To Daimon and Metody via Nexus E-Mail

[clockwork_doc]

Hello Daimon, Metody,

Just letting you know I've got a Nexus e-mail now, so it should be easier to get in contact with me if neccesary. Hope you're both doing well.

Hey!

This is like slow chatting.

I really did like it. It's too bad you can't package it up. I'd buy a jumbo pack and unleash it on the city on Christmas, so my friends could see white snow too.

Hi!

Heh, I suppose. Suits me fine, though.

Glad you did. And heh, if only. Snow resists most attempts to keep it as snow, sadly. If I can figure out a way, I'll try and give you some.

Bonjour!

True fact: there is a thriving business here in importing snow from the surrounding mountains, especially around Christmas. It arrives packaged in styrofoam bricks. You get it with a big, freaking heavy block of ice, and then you set up a miniature winter scene on the ice, and then you carefully put the snow on top. And that's at the center of the table for Christmas/Hanukkah/insert winter holiday here. And if you live in a good neighborhood and have a front yard, it goes on display in a big plastic box afterwards.

Guten Abend!

Amazing. Never heard of that before -- then again, Hill Valley tended to get natural snow. (Never much of that, but we were in Southern California.) Sounds kind of cute, honestly.

Buenevista!

I don't speak Spanish. It's a local tradition, like rioting after football games or reserving parking spots with chairs.

I think we've run the gamut on greetings, then.

Sounds nice. Back home we just had stuffing ourselves on turkey and listening to carols on the radio, for the most part.

Re: *chuckles*

[metody-green.livejournal.com]

I think we have.

Turkey is a Thanksgiving food here. My family usually has ham. Or, one year, salmon. Because there was no ham left. Not a one.

Now I want to cook.

Re: *chuckles*

[clockwork-doc.livejournal.com]

Bound to happen.

Turkey is the quintessial Thanksgiving food here too. It's just traditional where I come from to have it on Christmas as well. Ham (or salmon) sounds like a good change, though.

I'm just plain hungry. May have to see what room service has.

Re: *chuckles*

[metody-green.livejournal.com]

Mom has said that one turkey day a year is enough. I've got a big big family, and she usually cooks two, and last year, three!

I'd invite you over, but it would be a really bad idea if you have asthma. On the other hand, there is venison in the freezer and bear sausage besides.

Re: *chuckles*

[clockwork-doc.livejournal.com]

Great Scott! Though I suppose it's to be expected, given you told me you had a big family. For us it was just me, Mother, Father, and Emily.

No asthma, but the fact that your clouds can occasionally be lit on fire does scare me a bit. Though I've never had bear sausage. Venison, once -- thought it was a bit tough, but that might have been because of the cooking.

Re: *chuckles*

[metody-green.livejournal.com]

I've got seven brothers and sisters. I think I mentioned that. I really do think they'd have adopted more if I hadn't been such a nerve wracking kid to raise.

There's different cuts of venison and you've got to cook them differently. I think a lot of people who aren't familiar with it assume that the whole animal is the same, but that's like assuming a sirloin is the same as chuck roast. And I really like bear sausage.

We hunt a lot. It's a family thing. :D

Re: *chuckles*

[clockwork-doc.livejournal.com]

You did, yes. Your parents really must have loved children. My mother seemed quite content with just having the two.

I see. I've only had the once, so I really wouldn't know. My father got it from the market one day, and Mother wasn't really sure how to cook it. She did the best she could, I'm sure.

Heh, I see. Helps to keep the larder well-stocked, I'm sure.

Re: *chuckles*

[metody-green.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, does it ever help. I'm not exactly rolling in money, and the almost-free meat is so great. And tasty.

Venison in supermarkets drives me nuts. All they do is put up a sign saying 'venison'. It's like a sign that says 'beef', gosh darn it! And I will have to bring you a decent cut of it the next time I go out, because good venison is cooked like good steak, and is very tasty.

Re: *chuckles*

[clockwork-doc.livejournal.com]

I can imagine. I'm not exactly rolling in money either, but I'm lucky enough to live in a place that Wanderers such as myself can stay at for free, which provides food. (Though I had a brief stint of staying on the streets. Ate a lot of peanut butter. And crackers.)

Heh, yeah. I enjoy a good steak, so it does sound good. Thanks.

Re: *chuckles*

[metody-green.livejournal.com]

I've been eating a lot in the Nexus. I can get better food there and it's free. You have to check it, though. I've been turned blue and a girl several times, not always on purpose. Its a little startling.

Re: *chuckles*

[clockwork-doc.livejournal.com]

Yes, the LoLs are exactly why I haven't been eating much in the Nexus. Free food loses a bit of its appeal when you're not certain you're going to keep your original shape. I try to make sure I can see how the food's affecting others before eating it.

Re: *chuckles*

[metody-green.livejournal.com]

That's why I keep getting LOLed - I make stuff for people and test all the ingredients first.

I really liked being multicolored. It was pretty.

Re: *chuckles*

[clockwork-doc.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh.

That sounds like one of the better/least frightening LoLs, yes. Something I could live with anyway.

Re: *chuckles*

[metody-green.livejournal.com]

The girl one isn't so bad, since there's always a way to turn back. And I know of one person who deliberatly turns herself into a cat as a kind of vacation. I've thought a lot about doing it myself

Re: *chuckles*

[clockwork-doc.livejournal.com]

That's all right then, though such a change would -- disorient me, at the least.

Hmm, being an animal. . . that sounds interesting, honestly.

Re: *chuckles*

[metody-green.livejournal.com]

It sounds peaceful. Sometimes that's all I want. I envy cats for their ability to fall asleep in random patches of sun or heat.

Re: *chuckles*

[clockwork-doc.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It does sound nice.

(OOC: The darn comment thread's run right off the edge of his journal. XD)

Re: *chuckles*

[metody-green.livejournal.com]

It'd be a chance to sleep without worry driving me up to my feet. Cats don't worry.

((Ha, yeah...me and my unending conversations. Sorry?))

Re: *chuckles*

[clockwork-doc.livejournal.com]

Awww. Sorry to hear that.

(OOC: Heh, that's okay. It just surprised me to see the comments disappearing over the edge.)

Re: *chuckles*

[metody-green.livejournal.com]

I'm being maudlin and am slightly tipsy. It'll pass! Though tomorrow I'll have an awful hangover.

((I...kind of do that on a regular basis. I really have a problem with figuring out when to not talk anymore.))

Re: *chuckles*

[clockwork-doc.livejournal.com]

I've seen that before. Hope you feel better soon. (That includes dealing with the hangover.)

(OOC: It's all right. I like when Doc has people to talk to.)
