I don't know where they came from all of the sudden, but all of these fireflies are really pretty. They look a little like hitodama, all gathered together like this.

They are lovely, but the house is full of them.

Date: 2011-07-04 09:32 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com
Mine too - they don't seem to want to crawl all over the food though, so they're fine. Even if Digit keeps trying to chase them.

It is a little bit difficult to cook and clean with them around, though. I keep having to make sure none are in the fridge or the washing bin.

Date: 2011-07-04 09:46 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com
Oh, I guess that would be a problem...

Would like to know why we have them, though. I've seen some people with only one or two.

I don't know - some things seem to only happen to certain people, and I don't know why. Like those little dragons that were following some people around.

Perhaps it has something to do with what we've done in the Sphere. Either way, they're lovely - if a bit sad.

I'm not sure... maybe it is the glow.

Date: 2011-07-05 10:09 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com
I guess it's sort of a quiet beauty.

Date: 2011-07-07 09:34 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] drivetothewest.livejournal.com
Indeed.

Date: 2011-07-04 06:02 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] weaver-girl.livejournal.com
That isn't such a cheery image, though.

Date: 2011-07-04 09:09 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com
I guess not... though at least they don't look like evil spirits?

Date: 2011-07-04 09:29 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] weaver-girl.livejournal.com
Oh, I didn't mean... I'm sorry.

Do you get the same feeling as I do? That fireflies have something to do with dead people?

[There's a few drips of ink as he actually stops to think about that]

I suppose so. If they remind me of hitodama, anyway.

Date: 2011-07-05 07:01 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] weaver-girl.livejournal.com
The thing is, I recognised that word. Hitodama. But I suppose we are from somewhat similar places.

Date: 2011-07-05 07:26 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] weaver-girl.livejournal.com
Well, I have an inkling? The way you dress, for one, it looks familiar.

Date: 2011-07-05 01:45 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] weaver-girl.livejournal.com
I'm quite certain I am, yes.

Date: 2011-07-05 10:10 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com
Oh. That probably explains it then!

[Having read the previous comments...]

Pretty or not, being followed by that many seems like an inconvenience.

Date: 2011-07-05 12:23 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com
It's not that bad, really.

Date: 2011-07-05 12:40 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] notpissedoff.livejournal.com
They don't keep you awake at night?

Date: 2011-07-05 02:08 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] feathered-earth.livejournal.com
A hitodama? What is that?

Date: 2011-07-05 02:17 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com
Spirits that look like little balls of light. I think they're usually of dead people, but I don't quite remember.

Date: 2011-07-05 08:49 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] feathered-earth.livejournal.com
Really?

That sounds kind of nice.

Date: 2011-07-05 10:13 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com
Yeah, it kind of is, I think. Not scary, anyway.

Date: 2011-07-05 04:42 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] esoteric-rose.livejournal.com
They're like some strange aura, aren't they?

Date: 2011-07-05 05:45 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com
A bit, I guess. I don't mind it, though.

Date: 2011-07-07 06:46 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] desertshadows.livejournal.com
[reading] Balls of light? Ah, I suppose… Particularly if you gathered them together!

Date: 2011-07-07 09:05 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com
Mine kind of gather into little clumps on their own, sometimes.

Date: 2011-07-07 10:28 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] desertshadows.livejournal.com
Ah, that does sound nice! I should watch to see if these do the same.
