paper cities burning

Characters: Braxiatel and anyone ever. It's an open log! Tag in! Join in origami art!!
Location: The Astral Plane. Somewhere near food, probably.
Time: After Narvin has been made into a wee-bitty thing. Before the hypothetical future where Braxiatel jumps into a ravine because he hates babysitting.
Summary: Braxiatel needs to do something in his spare time. This is it.
Warnings: Origami awesomeness.

Among the stars and spaces between them, free of the heavy weight of unease that had haunted the Plane, a man was putting his supreme talents in dexterity and mathematical genius to use by making art out of folded paper. Or to put it more simply, Irving Braxiatel was going slightly mad playing the babysitter and so had resorted to origami to try to keep himself sane.

He had begun with a few simple flowers and had quickly gotten sick with the mundanity. That was how the paper model of the Palace of Versailles had ended up at his feet. Then, when he had gotten bored with that, he crafted for himself origami warriors, the grand life-sized sazu game pieces that once were placed in the floating tombs of the Deathless Emperors of Draconia, that they may battle one another in their sleeping death.

Presently, Braxiatel was putting the finishing touch on Nelson's battleship. He had done a fairly good job of representing the Battle of Trafalgar, as far as he was concerned, and was rather pleased by the final product.

I... see. [Sorry, being from the 23rd century means Christine's missed a lot of old films.]

Indiana Jones? [She pauses, wracking her brain.] Oh! That's the name of a film, right? I've never seen it.

Huh. Maybe I should see it. Then I'll know what fedoras have to do with Biblical artifacts.

Sure! That'd be great. We can pop some popcorn, prop up our feet, and enjoy.

No, I haven't. I wonder if it tastes better when made the old fashioned way.

[She smirks at that. What a thing to do a study on!] Will do. And I'll let you know what I think to add to your colleagues' findings.
