[ 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] ]

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]

[assent]

With four people?

[ It's hard to see her surprise on text but it's there. Though maybe it makes sense with how nice he is... ]

[ex_adept136]

Yes, I live with the squad I mentor.

[And what a mix of personalities they are. By now they've matured and learned to work as a unit, but they were a handful when that wasn't the case]

[assent]

Do you get along well with them?

[ It isn't hard to see him as someone mentoring others though, Haise has a kind personality and he seems to look out for others pretty well. She won't question that part at all. ]

[ex_adept136]

Not as much as I would've liked to at first, but we've grown together since then.

[He's proud of them all, too, so he's only too happy to talk about them]

[assent]

It does often take us time to get along with others, does it not? I am sure they would be happy under your care, however.

[ex_adept136]

I like to think they're happier now...although I can't say for sure with everyone. Just means I need to keep doing my best.

[assent]

Of course, that is what we all must do to ensure people we care about are happy.

[ex_adept136]

Very true indeed. Let's keep doing our best then.

[assent]

Definitely! Over 9000% worth of effort!

[ex_adept136]

We've got this.

[assent]

Truly. I presume you did not wish to play the game...? After all, we have already done something similar.

[ex_adept136]

I think I'd have an unfair advantage, since others already guessed before me.

[assent]

I can always do a new one, I do not mind.

[ex_adept136]

Only if you're sure. I remember it was a fun game when Loki first posted it.

[assent]

Of course! You know I like listening to what you have to say.

For a new one, let me see... I ate all the cookies you and Olivia gave me in one sitting. My blood type is B. My favourite country is Japan.

[ex_adept136]

[Naturally since Japanese attribute certain personality traits to blood type, he has to think about that one. He can see the typical positive traits suiting Sonia, but not so much the negative ones...

At the same time, wouldn't her own country be her favorite?]

Those are some really good ones. Maybe your blood type?

[Granted since he's going off of blood type theory, which is questionable at best]

[assent]

[ She knows about that, of course... but she isn't sure if he'll go with it or something else. ]

Correct, my blood type is actually "A".

[ex_adept136]

Lucky guess then. I only had blood type theory to go off of.

[Because honestly, blood types don't have distinctive scents to him or anything. Some people smell better than others, but he's not aware of any correlation there]

Guess that makes it my turn...

One of my subordinates confessed to me on Valentine's Day last year, I've read over five hundred books, and I've gone undercover in women's clothes.

[Challenge set]

[assent]

You do have that advantage.

[ Ah... what a way to look at it. ]

I can believe the first two quite easily. [ Because he's such a nice person... why wouldn't anyone confess???????? And he said he likes literature right? ] So I will say the last one?

[ex_adept136]

Actually, that last one is true.

[And he can make a stupidly convincing woman.

Somehow he figured that out through reading, it's disturbing]
