[ not me searching for 'miss kate' in my pc list for a while before i realized.

anyway. wanna hang out at the farm area? caelus is checking out all the season-nondependent vegetables at the moment. food with color and the potential of flavor is fairly exciting. ]

Hello, Miss Kate. 'How are you' feels like a weird question right now. What about 'how's it kicking?'

[sootprints]

How's it... kicking?

[ ??? ]

[trashprince]

Then you can say, 'hard' or 'low' or 'it kicks.'

[ what does kate think? yay or nay? he's workshopping here. ]

[sootprints]

[ ...... ]

It kicks.

[trashprince]

What do you think? It's less pressure than 'how do you feel' after last weekend.

[sootprints]

About our situation...?

[trashprince]

I meant about using 'how is it kickin'' instead, but I would like to hear your thoughts if you'll share them.

[ as if she were freely offering ]

[sootprints]

Oh.

... I don't really know what "it" is, or what's being kicked? Where did this turn of phrase come from?

[trashprince]

I don't know if it came from anywhere.

[ surely it's in the interplanetary cultural zeitgeist--'how's it kicking' or some variation thereof--but it's not something caelus can pinpoint the origins of. ]

It's meant to ask how you're doing but keep it light.

[sootprints]

I see.

[ ... there's a little sound, like a suppressed laugh. ]

... I'm doing all right, all things considered. What about you?

[trashprince]

[ caelus plucks a tomato off of its vine. ]

I'm moving forward.

[sootprints]

... That's good. It's what has to be done.

[trashprince]

But I don't want to forget them, either. I'll have to balance the two.

[ it's the least he could manage for half of his cast dying week 0 ]

[sootprints]

[ a nod. ]

I don't, either. I wish I'd had the chance to get to know them better...
