Aug. 11th, 2010 11:42 pmIt's easy when it's raining non stop and people are switching bodies and there's people showing up in Dinosaur Territory and then you're lying in bed sick dreaming about something that never happened to get it into your head that this is a crazy place where only craziness happens and no happiness can exist.
But you'd be wrong if you thought that. Joshua finds Tabula Rasa to be an overall normal place, if not a little boring compared to his previous life. Sure, there are some things that are downright freaky, but then there were things like that happening every day on the Mother Ship half of them perpetrated by his own hand or under his own orders.
Still, days like this one are much more the norm than the exception. Days spent walking along the beach or swimming in the ocean. Quiet days with plenty of time for reflection and contemplation. Or, as some people are more inclined, time to run from their pasts by filling their days with other things. And maybe he's doing a little of both, but he figures there's no real way to run from your past here and there's no way to avoid quiet contemplation. Even with a day filled with activities and other people and responsibilities. The past has a way of catching up with you.
So do made up pasts that never actually happened except in a dream. The thought is a bit overwhelming for Joshua. He's still a little annoyed by the idea that the island would need to push them together in such a way, but what's done is done. And today's agenda is to have a normal day at the beach with Juliet. He's come prepared with supplies from the box: towels, a blanket and swimwear (for himself). Snacks and water from the kitchen and even a large umbrella.
