[ Really, she had hoped to get her thoughts out about this sooner, but there are things she wants to Address and get people to think about now that it seems like a new year is upon them. It makes sense after the Christmas/Yule w/e celebrations that had taken place. For any that may know her though, she definitely seems very upbeat today. ]

Good day, everyone. [ It's the first time she's actually addressed the magitek like this though, which is why she tries to keep as formal as possible from the get go. ] My name is Sonia Nevermind, some of you may know me, others may not -- if that is the case, it is a pleasure to meet you now.

I was wondering... is it common for people of your worlds to make New Years Resolutions? This is where you make promises or goals for yourself for the new year.

For me, this year I hope to get stronger, so I may protect those I care about. I wish to learn more about medicine, to ensure that those with healing skills are not tiring themselves out. [ She's ticking these off with her fingers as she goes. ] I wish... to be more honest, about past instances that were beyond my control... but I feel are important to share with friends. I wish to spend more time with others, and learn more about the different cultures and languages we have within our team. If you were to consider this now... what would you choose?

Also, as we have been in good spirits recently, I also hoped we may try to get to know one another better with a game? There is one called "2 truths 1 lie", I believe, where we share two pieces of information that are "real" along with one piece of information that is a lie. As I understand, this is a hella good game to bond. For example: "I can speak 30 languages." "I have got a sister." "I can pilot a helicopter." Which one is incorrect?


[ ooc: re: the 2 truths 1 lie thing please feel free to threadjack etc as well as she does mean for it to happen so people can get to know each other [smh] ]

Oh, I'm sure you'll improve. You're a strong person. I might not know you that well, but I can tell that much. And thank you--that's kind of you to say.

[Friendship is so weird, but cool? But weird.]

Molto bene--you should teach me some of the 30 languages you know. Well, twenty-eight that you know and I don't. [Twenty-seven, Giorno.] Let's see. My three are: my hair was much darker when I was younger, my favorite food is Neapolitan pizza, and I once stole one hundred cars in an afternoon.

I-I try. [ It's easier with having others by her side to keep her in check, because she refuses to let her true emotions shine through in front of others as well. She's been made into this, someone who refuses to crack under pressure until she has time out. ]

Oh, I would be happy to! If you would like, I could offer something quite similar to Italian to make it easier? Spanish is rather close, and is a language very dear to me.

[ bc of spanish novelas tbh. ]

But hmm... One hundred cars seems like quite a lot, yet it may also be impressive enough to be true... Let us go with your hair was much darker when you were younger?

[digiorno]

Oh--well, if it's important to you then that's what I'd like to learn. I'd like to get to know you better, so maybe that would be a good way, if you're willing. Please show me what makes Spanish so significant in your life, signorina.

Ah. [He smiles faintly and tips his head to one side.] Actually, no. My hair was darker, once upon a time. But, while I like Neapolitan pizza, my very favorite food is chocolate pudding.

[The kind in the little cups, god help him.]

It is just one of the first languages I learned. French is very similar to my own language... at least in some respects. I could even teach you my native tongue, if you would like?

[ Though I will have to just write that in English and pretend because there is no sample of it cries. ]

Ah! That is a surprise. The pizzas in Italy are so delicious, I had not expected that.

Hmm... to follow on from that, then. I also have a sweet tooth. It takes me 30 minutes to do my make up. I can sing quite well.

[digiorno]

I know a tiny bit of French! I'm not fluent, though. Oh, I'd love that. Really--at least in Oska, I think we have a fair amount of free time, so I'd love to learn as much as you're willing to teach. Where are you from, though? I don't know if you ever said.

They are very delicious, I'm just particular. I have a lot of friends who'd say I was crazy for saying that, of course. And this one is harder . . . I think . . . I think it doesn't take you 30 minutes to do your makeup?

[assent]

C'est magnifique! In that case, it may be a good place to start... though I am from a tiny Kingdom called Novoselic, you may not have heard of it... many have not. [ She gives him a sheepish smile. ] But of course I am willing to teach, if anyone is willing to invest in learning a language, I believe that should be nurtured.

I see! Pudding is also delicious, however, so I cannot say I am surprised. Though... your answer this time is correct as well. It actually takes closer to an hour.

[ BUT SHE LOOKS THE SAME!!!!!!!!?!?! ]
