Dinosaurs... I think there was dinosaurs before- Or, no, maybe that was just a dream. It's pretty easy, you know, to confuse this place with your dreams, sometimes. It's all that fantastical...

I suppose everyone's settled a bit then, that's good. ... I finished a book, the other day. To the sound of a stampeding... dinosaur. Tristan and Isolde aren't quite as romantic to the sounds of dinosaurs...

But then again, when the love ends like that, I guess it's not really so romantic anyway.

They don't call them "Thunder lizards" for nothing, you know.

I never heard that name before.

Translated backwards it's "Brontosaurus".

... that's awful odd.

Around here, what the hell isn't?
Havoc: Nearly Okay[info]letslip on March 1st, 2009 03:23 am (UTC)
Truth.
Friar Carl: I see[info]somekindofsin on March 1st, 2009 03:41 am (UTC)
I think there were dinosaurs before, at least once. Not while I've been about, but a version of me who was here previously was kind enough to leave a variety of notes, and I believe dinosaurs were--ah, I've left the notes in the laboratory. Regardless, I'm reasonably certain you're not recalling a dream.

I should hope Tristan and Isolde aren't definitive examples of true love.
Havoc: Chewing[info]letslip on March 1st, 2009 03:42 am (UTC)
Ah... it could have been. Dinosaurs.

Literature says so. Like Romeo and Juliet- that was based on them, I think.
Friar Carl: You need a hug.[info]somekindofsin on March 1st, 2009 03:51 am (UTC)
They really should be safely contained in dreams, of course. There's a reason mammals weren't able to thrive until dinosaurs moved aside.

Well! Even books can lie, I suppose. I'm sure that, at one point in history, two people were happily in love and managed to live full lives together.
Havoc[info]letslip on March 1st, 2009 03:53 am (UTC)
Of course they do. It's just the tragic one's that are famous. For whatever reason-

Well. Except fairy tales. Then you get happily ever after.
Friar Carl: Good-natured[info]somekindofsin on March 1st, 2009 04:01 am (UTC)
Perhaps traditional romances are meant to make those with mediocre romances of their own realize how much worse it can be?

You know, fairy tales never mention children. Is it even possible to live 'happily ever after' once children are introduced to the equation?
Havoc: Laughing[info]letslip on March 1st, 2009 04:02 am (UTC)
... Haha- That's a good point!
Friar Carl: Dammit[info]somekindofsin on March 1st, 2009 04:04 am (UTC)
Why, thank you!
Havoc: Nearly Okay[info]letslip on March 1st, 2009 04:04 am (UTC)
Changing diapers and wiping mouths isn't happily after worthy, I suppose.
Friar Carl: Night cap[info]somekindofsin on March 1st, 2009 04:09 am (UTC)
Neither would figure into my ideal romance! Babies aren't even proper human beings until they can hold their own in an intelligent conversation.
Havoc: This Feeling[info]letslip on March 1st, 2009 04:10 am (UTC)
I like children... they're-

Innocent.
Friar Carl: I see[info]somekindofsin on March 1st, 2009 04:15 am (UTC)
Are they? The only one I've met was myself, and I was hardly in a position to make such judgments at the time.
Havoc: Empty Stare[info]letslip on March 1st, 2009 04:16 am (UTC)
They are. Children- Can be made cruel... or even do cruel things-

But inside... it's not out of cruelty- or even spite. They're... blank. Slates. You... make a child, shape them, guide them...
Friar Carl: What's wrong?[info]somekindofsin on March 1st, 2009 04:22 am (UTC)
That sounds plausible enough. You know quite a lot about them, anyway.
Havoc: Blank[info]letslip on March 1st, 2009 04:24 am (UTC)
... Just a few.
Friar Carl: You need a hug.[info]somekindofsin on March 1st, 2009 04:27 am (UTC)
A few is enough, I think.

Alright--I'll admit that, in some instances, happy endings, even those that involve children, are feasible, if unlikely.
Havoc: Nearly Okay[info]letslip on March 1st, 2009 04:28 am (UTC)
Laura's.

Children don't make the ending unhappy... they just... come after the happily ever after.
Friar Carl: Did you call?[info]somekindofsin on March 1st, 2009 04:37 am (UTC)
Someone you knew?

Oh... right.
Havoc: Softened[info]letslip on March 1st, 2009 04:39 am (UTC)
Mm.
