(text) the second seashell

[oblivionize]

Today makes day 365. I've been in Asgard for 15 days. It's hard to believe it's been a whole year now.

I know there are people who are unhappy to be here. I don't think anyone should be forced to be in a place they don't want to be, but for now we have a duty... And I'm happy to be here, too. Even if it's selfish.

I do have a question--

What would you do if you are given more time than you expect? For whatever you might wish to do, I mean. Before I came here everything I did was missions... There's so much free time here and I can't possibly train all of the time.

Would anyone like to train together sometime?

Well, he'd completely swept this issue under the rug. But how to actually deal with it--]

[Very, very carefully...As for the question, he's not answering that.]

It's your birthday. I think you should do something more than just training.

[samantha_grey]

A whole year since what?

I spend a lot of my time worrying. Usually working in the lab. I'm not generally considered to be a good example.

[oblivionize]

Since I was born.

That's okay. What sort of things do you do in your lab?

Why is it selfish to be happy like this?

[Video]

[oblivionize]

Because none of us belong here.

[He wasn't going to press for details about what the significance of one year meant yet, that could wait. But her question is the next in a long line of ones over the network that have seriously made him pause.]

I would question the conditions of the extra time first.

[oblivionize]

Being here is extra time.

[Voice]

[needsmoregreen]

But I don't think it's selfish though! You're happy, that's all that matters right?

And for the question...I think I would spend some more time with other people! Or maybe try to pick up a hobby! You can do things on whatever makes you happy!

[Voice]

[oblivionize]

My happiness isn't the only thing that matters.

[There's a small side smile on her end before she begins speaking.] I don't really know many things I like to do. I like collecting seashells, but I don't know many people here.

[necrowmantic]

More time? Man, what COULDN'T you do with all the time in the world. I'd start by finding even more ways to make people scream, nya ha! And I already have to start over my feather collection since none of that came over with me.

What about you? Training sounds kind of boring.

[oblivionize]

Why would you want to make people scream? Oh! I used to collect seashells..

I've always trained. We weren't given any time to do anything else.

I guess there's an amusement park if that's your kind of thing.. I've only heard people talk about it though, I've never been there before.

An amusement park?

[sneakyshoes]

Being here is already more time than I expected.

[oblivionize]

Then we're alike.

[See, this is awkward, because Kanaya was going to offer a little training time, since it would be nice to have a partner, rather than just swinging her chainsaw at air, but now she feels compelled to at least answer the question.

Except she doesn't really have an answer, so now she has a mildly confused and thoughtful look on her face.]

I knew for certain that I would be gifted with one of the longer lifespans of my species, but now I am not so sure I could even die, so I suppose I lack an answer for you.

As for a training partner, I would not be averse to sparring, if that is what you're offering.

[oblivionize]

[Xion's actually relieved to see someone she's spoken to before. So when Kanaya answers she shakes her head and gives a small smile.]

That's okay. I didn't expect many people to be able to answer. I was just curious, that's all.

You've got it right. It'd be nice to be able to spar with someone for fun and practice.

[wasthemaster]

A year. A year since what?

[oblivionize]

Access said it was my birthday.

[audio]

[nukeoleptic]

[ She's stalked some of the comments here. Her birthday? Really? Whoah. ]

Do you want to do something fun, Xion?

[audio]

[oblivionize]

...Something fun? Like eating ice cream?

[canmakemore]

I find myself wondering that rather frequently these days.

That is, I have found myself with more time than I expected, and I am a little uncertain of how to go about making use of it sometimes.

[text]

[oblivionize]

Really? What do you do normally?

[He'd offer to train with her, but since she's just getting a handle on things yet again, he doesn't want to push it.]

Experiment around, Xion. Find things that interest you or that you like or things that you never had the opportunity to do before. There's really no wrong answer with what you can or should do.

I'm not sure where to start, Riku. Here I have so much time to myself and there's so much to do. I did apply to work at a shop and that seems like it might be a lot of fun.

[tournesols]

I would love to train with someone else... as for something fun, what do you like to do?

But--it's been a year since what? If you've been here for fifteen days...

Re: video;

[oblivionize]

I wouldn't mind training with you. Oh, I like to collect seashells and eat ice cream.

The first time I remember anything was a year ago today.

[feathery]

how do you feel about swords

[oblivionize]

I don't mind swords.
