[ 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] ]

[Sonia are you a people-eater too...]

If you want me to elaborate sometime, I can provide a list.

[He'll do it, hime]

[assent]

[ Not in the way you're thinking... [bleak] ]

That will not be necessary!

[ Ah... now she's flustered. ]

[ex_adept136]

The offer's open if you ever need to know.

[He can't help teasing somebody (else) who doesn't see their worth...]

[assent]

Just knowing that it is the case is enough for me. I am glad to hear it.

[ Haise pls... her kokoro can't take this. ]

[ex_adept136]

In that case, I'm glad for that.

Has Oska been treating you well?

[assent]

It has! It has been nice to sleep in a bed, for one thing. I am not really used to camping so that was rather difficult.

[ex_adept136]

I wasn't at all used to camping when I was recruited, either. My home is thoroughly urban.

[assent]

It is? I admit I had help until recent years as well, so I am still learning on that ground too. I struggled with the showers here when I first arrived as well.

[ WHY ARE THE CONTROLS NEVER THE SAME ]

[ex_adept136]

So they're different from what you're accustomed to? I hadn't thought about that sort of thing, but now that you mention it...

[He can imagine people like Achilles must've had quite the time adapting]

[assent]

Not exactly. Before I travelled abroad I just usually had someone prepare the bath or shower for me.

[ It's why in the Neo World program she flooded the bathroom at first... ah. ]

[ex_adept136]

Now that you mention it, that does seem like the sort of thing that would be handled for royalty. Did it take much getting used-to?

[He's never been so high up there on the ranks, and he's pretty sure even Arima draws his own baths]

[assent]

Not long, thankfully I did not make any mistakes here other than using the wrong temperature.

[ cries ]

[ex_adept136]

I hope you didn't get hurt.

[Because...scalding water...no...]

[assent]

No, it was just very cold.

[ The other way........... ]

[ex_adept136]

[He'll wince sympathetically all the way over here]

Those are the worst during winter months.

[assent]

[ A girl who can speak 30 languages, knows a lot about medicine, economics and law... yet can't use a shower. ]

Thankfully I was able to quickly rectify it...

[ex_adept136]

[Pretty sure all that outweighs the shower, truly]

That's good. Startling way to wake up in the morning, in my experience.

[He doesn't have excuses. Sometimes a man's just so tired he douses himself with cold water by mistake]

[assent]

[ It does but... why. ]

Sadly it was not in the morning.

[ But she barely sleeps anyway, it's fine......... ]

[ex_adept136]

I'd imagine it's a bit of a shock any time of day...but it sure woke me up once.

[Happens to everyone sometime, probably]

[assent]

You have done it as well?

[ That's... more of a relief than he probably realises. ]

[ex_adept136]

Yes, a couple of times. I think everyone makes that mistake at some point.

[That or someone rudely uses up all the hot water...]

[assent]

I am glad to hear that. Not because I would wish that on anyway, but it does make me feel easier about my own mistake.

[ Ah... a truly awful person ]

[ex_adept136]

Be assured you're not alone. It's pretty typical.

[...Hime no]

[assent]

I was not aware of that.

[ She'd mostly been too embarrassed last time... most people don't flood their bathroom because they don't realise they have to turn off the tap as well as turn it on. smh. ]

[ex_adept136]

I've just read a lot, and lived with four people before all this.

[And while reactions vary, cold water gets everyone]
