[ 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: 1, Kaz: 0 ]

Would you like me to say the correct answer?

[steler]

[damn it]

Sure.

[assent]

[ A rare occurance... ]

While I did participate in a murder game, I did not kill any of my classmates. That one was the lie.

[steler]

[yes savor this for the rest of your life sonia its not going to happen again]

I'm not sure if that makes you noble or bad at playing by the rules.

[assent]

[ challenge accepted. ]

Perhaps both.

[ Though she had considered taking the weapons given to them to go against the organisation that put them there... so "noble" might not be correct either. ]

My friends mean a lot to me, however. That is why I offered this game to begin with.

[steler]

Has it worked out?

[either in terms of making friends or getting to know them better - whichever was her original goal]

[assent]

I think so. I have met others who speak other languages, and have learned some interesting things.

[ Both, really. ]

[steler]

"Other languages," other than "English"?

[that's the one people seem to mention the most. he wouldve assumed most people spoke different languages and they were all translated together, but maybe english really is the predominate language around here.]

[assent]

I believe that even though everything is translated here, many people are able to default to English. Right now it is being translated automatically, though you can force a language if you wish to. For example. Hola, me llamo Sonia Nevermind. Yo tengo 19 años. You hear the different language likes this, do you not?

[steler]

Interesting.

[the language she speaks isn't one he recognizes, but it's a fun thought exercise. fake dutch engage:]

Ik kom uit een stad, genaamd Ketterdam. Er spreken we Kerch.

[assent]

[ Her head tilts when he speaks this time, ears prickling at the sounds as she thinks about what it might sounds similar to. It isn't quite there, but... ]

Het klinkt vrij gelijkaardig, maar ik denk niet dat het is hetzelfde? Do you understand that...?

[steler]

Hmm, you're right. It's similar but not quite. What language is that, where you're from?

[assent]

Dutch. It is not widely spoken, but it is quite lovely.

[steler]

Dutch.

[kaz will remember this]

One of my friends has a gift for languages.

[assent]

Yes, Dutch.

[ Just as a confirmation before she goes on to ask: ] Do they speak different ones?

[steler]

Yes. She learned them when she was young. [since you know theyre all adults now ha ha] It's a useful skill to have.

[assent]

[ """""adults""""" ]

I see. I can relate to that, I have been multilingual from when I was first learning to speak. It is more effective to learn while you are growing up after all.

[steler]

[nina learned...because of the army....but you know]

I imagine it would be.

[assent]

[ a reason is a reason... ]

Mm. There is scientific evidence to support it.

[steler]

This was a fun distraction.

[kaz do you even know the meaning of that word]

I'll let you get back to it with the others.

[bye sonia!!!}

[assent]

Of course. I shall speak to you later.

[ This is just a come and go if you want to divulge information. He's learned some stuff. She's learned some stuff (maybe??) either way!! ]
