1.1.01.01.014: flowers are not to be picked, they are to be enjoyed by everyone.

[Eddie's on camera. He's grinning. This isn't meant to be public, but it isn't. He's on deck, so you can see the stars behind his head, and a greenhouse in one corner.]

Jane! Jane! JANE! [he's raised his voice. Oh no. The camera turns to some flowers - all the colours are overly bright, and quite obviously artificial, to anyone with normal sight. They're incredibly vivid, and might give you a headache if you look too long, but this doesn't seem to bother Eddie too much.]

We got a garden! [He pans across a small few beds of flowers, all in variants of vivid colours - even the leaves are a slightly unnatural green]

Brilliant. I could kiss someone.

[pause, and he realises this is public, so thinks he ought to say something.]

Um. Nobody pick our flowers. They're... there for public enjoyment.

Yet the answers are horrific indeed. They were right to teach you these things.

I do not know what these boundary markers are?

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

No, because we'd just be ignorant to these horrific things. We'd be perpetually stupid and not realise what was going off around us.

I mean, um, what's the phrase... off limits?

[failedcreator.livejournal.com]

That would be a blessing indeed.

Do you refer to the barge or the world from which I come?

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

It's not. It's anything but a blessing.

Either.

[failedcreator.livejournal.com]

There are places on the barge where I cannot venture, but wardens may. There are no such places in my world, merely places that are unpleasant to visit.

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

I... more meant off limits in terms of conversation.

[failedcreator.livejournal.com]

I suppose there are indeed some things.

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Such as?

[failedcreator.livejournal.com]

Immoral things. I do not know if I wish to speak of them.

It's just you and me, Victor. You can.

They are issues to do with sex and death, primarily.

[he tries not to choke because he used the real word.]

They're not discussed much in my society either.

private

[failedcreator.livejournal.com]

Yes. I am afraid I do not wish to discuss it further.

Re: private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

That's alright, I don't think, well, one of those will come up in the near future.

I hope that they shall not.
