well i mean uh

normally there's like

a whole planet and stuff

but this kinda looks like just

yknow

a city

[train_baby]

Oh! Yes. This is Darrow. It just... is, on its own.

Who are you? The phone said 'Unknown.'

[jupiterjuice]

oh i'm just a big ol' satellite. JUpiter ICy moons Explorer

juice for short

so like... darrow, huh. onboard memory's got nothin which honestly could give me a goddamn existential crisis if i didn't have better things to do

so who are you?

[train_baby]

Hi, Juice! I'm Yona.

Are you really a... satellite?

[ She's heard the word before, but never in context like this. She only sort of understands what it means, and she knows she's never said it before, the syllables coming out careful and uncertain, though still lighthearted. ]

It's okay that you haven't heard of Darrow before. No one has, before they get here.

[jupiterjuice]

yup

well this is what the kids call whack

like this shouldn't be physically possible but here we are

i'm pretty sure jupiter's gone? like i don't even see it. and i'll be honest

it's kinda freakin me out

[train_baby]

...Wait, I have another question.

What's Jupiter?

[jupiterjuice]

oh

uh

big planet

[train_baby]

A planet?

[ The phone and the voice on the other end of it probably can't see her face, but the way she lights up is clear enough just in the way she sounds anyway. ]

I don't know that planet.

[jupiterjuice]

well it's the fifth one from the sun in this... uh. well, earth's solar system. real big honker. like a billion moons. well closer to eighty something but a billion captures the spirit better yknow

wait are you even from earth? i always thought aliens lookin like humans was some dumb stars trek thing but i've already met one extraterrestrial today and i can't find jupiter so my mind's ready to be opened i guess

[train_baby]

...Sort of?

Earth froze. Before I was born. Everyone left lived on a train, so it wasn't really Earth anymore.

That's a lot of moons, though. [ She pauses, reconsiders that. ] Is it a lot of moons? I don't know how many moons are normal.

[jupiterjuice]

i think the normal is like none. none moons. so it's definitely a lot of moons

so everyone lived on a TRAIN

pretty sure it didn't go down that way where i'm from, i think i woulda noticed that

i bet living on a train would be kinda chill for the first few centuries, like everyone just having tea and solving charming mysteries

unless it very much was not like that which seems very possible
