[ 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] ]

[ Her smile becomes a little sheepish because of that, but really she'd prefer not to need them at all -- that's impossible here though. ]

I see.

[ She won't push anymore about that anyway. Besides, she can't help but laugh softly at his response. ] Actually that is incorrect. I have only owned dresses and skirts.

[endeudado]

[ Guns are awesome, Sonia. One day you will embrace this fact!! ]

Aw, seriously? Did you at least change it up with the dresses and the skirts? Like, greens, reds, yellows... plaid? You had to have a ton of 'em, right?

[ Princesses own lots of clothes, don't they? ]

[assent]

[ Well they're easier than swords... she's going to find that out Very Soon. ]

Of course. I am quite a fan of fashion. Though it was rather restricted to my rooms.

[ Well, mostly! She had her school uniforms to wear most of the time as well so... ]

[endeudado]

[ Good, then he can take you down the path that rocks!! ]

Sounds like it. Being a princess wasn't too glamorous, huh? Didn't even get to live in a castle...

[ He's probably brought it up before and she's brushed him off, so he doesn't exactly expect an answer. ]

Okay, let's see... One of my friends can kill people with a flick of her wrist, another one almost fell overboard on the trip to Fjerda, and another cute friend of mine had his face changed after I got to know him. Which one's the lie?

[assent]

[ rockin' hard!! ]

But, I lived in a castle...? [ She doesn't get why he'd assume otherwise (though she probably did brush him off sorry Jesper) at least now he Knows. ]

A-anyway... Is the lie about the friend who fell overboard? Though I suppose that depends on the types of ships you have.

[endeudado]

Oh, wait. I totally... huh. Must've heard you wrong.

[ Misunderstood an earlier truth and lie, oops. LET'S CHANGE THE SUBJECT. ]

Yep, you got it! The other two are friends of mine from the Ice Court Job. How'd you guess that was the one?

[assent]

[ ooPS ]

Ah, no problemo then! However... I suppose it was a risk based on how I know ships to look like in my world. Unless the waves are quite rough it is rather difficult to fall overboard.

Now... let me think. One of my friends back home has been to an amusement park in hell. [ Or well... he says he has and she stupidly believes him smh ] My favourite food is sour plums. I have been on television.

[endeudado]

[ Kaz Brekker is definitely the devil, that one was all truth. ]

Okay, first of all, what's television? I'm gonna guess that's the lie?

[assent]

[ The most truth ever to exist. ]

You... do not know what a television is?!

[ I'm sorry she's so horrified. ]

[endeudado]

Nope. Am I supposed to know what that is?

[ That's such a strong reaction... ]

Is it something bad?

[assent]

Not at all! It is just rather surprising. Television is very commonplace in my world--actually animated series are very popular! I wish I could show you... it is truly incredible!

[ She's so pumped up and excitable now, I'm so sorry. ]

[endeudado]

[ no iT'S GREAT, Jesper has no idea what to do with this...... ]

So... what is it, though? Like, a theater troupe or something?

[assent]

Not at all! It is... something that is done previously, and put onto a box with pictures that move. [ How else do you describe TV ] You can watch many things, with genres ranging from drama to horror!

[endeudado]

Put into a box...?

[ ???? ]

So it's a box? Or the things in the box?

[assent]

Well it ... is not really a box either. Or it is but they are not literally inside the box. The box displays a replica, of sorts? Perhaps it would be easier if I drew it for you?

[endeudado]

[ Yeah, he's got no clue. ]

...Is it like the magitek?

[assent]

I suppose a little? Except it's made before people can see it... then shown later? Like a theatre you can watch but it happened the day before.

[endeudado]

Man, that sounds useful. You guys use it to put on shows?

[ Why... ]

[assent]

Well it is where you watch the show when it is playing.

[ Well they're trying... ]

[endeudado]

So you were in one of those shows?

[ Jesper you don't even know the wonders of special effects yet. ]

[assent]

Something like that, yes. Though not a performance as you may be thinking of it.

[ A beat, then: ]

As a Princess, media has tried to take coverage of me before, it merely stemmed from that.

[endeudado]

So like, you get harassed by reporters and that kind of thing?

[assent]

Yes, that kind of thing.

[ Sort of, though she isn't going into further detail on it. That should be enough to explain it. ]
