New Yurk Stock Exchange [Video Post]

[justicereigns]

I don't know what to make of this place. It's got moments of dead quiet and then-- [Cut off by a sudden stampede. Bears and bulls go running by and Smoker just dodges out of the way and climbs onto some high rocks and lets the laptop camera take it in. And then there's more of the stampede with men in business suits carrying briefcases and running desperately out of breath chasing the bulls and bears.] This is completely nuts... shit wait for it. [And then they all come running back again in the other direction they originally came from, the businessman running away from the rampaging bulls and bears.]

[Waits for the dust to settle and sighs.] So I guess the bulls are supposed to be on the stock exchange? In exchange for money or bears I don't know. But apparently something happened and it's all gone to hell. And anytime I lasso those men in suits away from their herd they just babble about needing to chase the bears and bulls and "dollar signs." I have no freaking clue what a dollar is supposed to be. Unless they use sand dollars for currency? I guess I could go dig some up to try to bribe one of them for information.

This is ridiculous. If this is supposed to be a punishment Sengoku, you made your goddamn point. Can I have a real assignment? They don't even have a boss to talk to. Tch. Who the hell wears a tux to deal with bulls? Stupid...

[Walks off back to shore and in the background the stampede starts up again.]

Oh Tsuzuki. Happy Birthday. Is the color okay?

29200 days, right? I'm not even close to that!

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

You count age by days?

[key-destination.livejournal.com]

Well...mine at least. It's just something to hold onto.

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

I see then. How many days are you?

[key-destination.livejournal.com]

323 Days.

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

You're almost 365. Are you excited?

[key-destination.livejournal.com]

I guess I should be since it's going to be my first birthday like this.

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Hm. I guess you count the days more than anyone. I always took days for granted.

[key-destination.livejournal.com]

Maybe people have more important things to think about when they first wake up. It's all I had in the beginning though.

[amethystsregret.livejournal.com]

Maybe we do. Maybe we walk through life, missing all the things that really matter, and we only realize them after the fact.

[key-destination.livejournal.com]

I don't think...I get what you mean.

Human beings have a habit of going through life, taking things for granted. You've even confronted me on that. I can't tell you how many people I've seen weep that 'they should have done this' or 'wish they done that' when they stood judgment in the Court of Hades.

Even before Death takes them, hindsight is always clearer than foresight.
