[ 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] ]

That would work too, I think! Though I am not sure how many of us can draw here. I am... decent, though there are people better at it than me as well.

[ She isn't the super high school level artist, after all. ]

[keystaff]

It'd take us time. But we have some quieter moments in between missions, so...I think we could figure it. I'm not the best with art either, Tomoyo-chan is good at it though! But I guess she needs to be, with how she likes to make me clothes.

[She gets sidetracked when thinking of her friends rather often actually. This is hardly the first time.]

[assent]

Your friend makes you clothes? That's very impressive! Does she wish to go into the fashion industry? Though you are quite correct, it is quieter now we are back in Oska.

[ It's the same for Sonia, so no worries there! ]

[keystaff]

Well, her mum runs a toy company. But Tomoyo-chan is good at sewing and singing. I'm not sure what she'll decide to do when she's older but. I'm sure she'll be good at it! She's amazing!

[As for Oska, well. It's not quite always quieter, but in comparison to their missions, anyway.]

I'm not sure how much time we'd have on missions if we wanted to try making our own books about home, but. It could be fun. And I would like to hear about everyone else's homes.

[assent]

She sounds like such a wonderful friend! You must be very proud of her.

[ Of course she's only going to encourage this kind of talk. ]

I agree. Perhaps at the start it will not be so bad? Encouraging others to try may be what the biggest problem would be.

[keystaff]

I am! I've missed her, but it's probably better she isn't here.

[Tomoyo is amazing, but these missions would likely be beyond her, distracting Sakura from helping as much as she could with worrying for her friend in all of this.]

Maybe if we use the jewelry again later to see what everyone thinks of the idea?

[assent]

If she does not have magic like you do, then probably so. It is rather dangerous here.

[ And when you're worrying about someone else, you aren't on top of your game. ]

That sounds like a wonderful plan, I think!

[keystaff]

She doesn't, no. But she's still helped me a lot back home. What with making me clothes and filming things and all.

[Just generally being awesome and supportive of Sakura in general. Pretty much.]

Do you think before or after this next mission? I could do it, see what everyone thinks.

[assent]

That is helpful. She films what you do at home, then? It is a shame we cannot watch them here.

[ Anyone who is a positive influence is a good bean, obviously. ]

I suppose it depends on what the next mission will be? It may be a nice break after it to offer a glimpse from home... We do not know what it will be yet though, do we?

[keystaff]

Ah, she films...a lot, yes. Mostly when I was collecting the cards, but things like our athletics and stuff too.

[Tommoyo is the best good bean. Clearly. Sakura is possibly kind of biased there though.]

I'm not sure if we know yet. You think I should wait till after?

[assent]

When you perform? Things like that? [ Sakura did mention something like that back at the ball after all. ]

Perhaps. I heard that usually there is not something to offer the same relaxation as the ball did this time, so it may be something nice for people to come back to.

[keystaff]

Something like that. Yes. I've gotten more used to it by now, at least. Her filming me.

[It's nice, in a way, creating and preserving memories like that. Even if Sakura is oblivious to the obvious reason Tomoyo does so much for her. That her best friend meant a different sort of 'love' in saying she loved Sakura.]

Yes! I'm not sure if we might be able to figure some supplies in advance here before we go or once we're on the mission, but. When we get back I'll bring it up with everyone!

[assent]

That is really kind of her. It is always a good idea to record things for memories. At least that is what I believe.

[ Ah... poor Tomoyo... the hard life of pining for your cute bff. ]

Excellent! Thank you very much. It might be easier to get pencils and paper in the next place--then again, if it is a place like Perdition's Rest perhaps not. We can judge once we get the information.

[keystaff]

[The hardest life, with Sakura being so oblivious, for all that she is perceptive about her friends otherwise. Except when it involves their feelings towards her.]

Y-yes! Exactly! But hm. You're right. Depending where we go next and what's available there it might not be so easy to get stationary. We'll see what they say and go from there?

[assent]

[ And she's such a cutie too... who can blame Tomoyo. ]

Yes, I think that may be a good plan! If we find the stationary we can always let people know to stock up if they would like to take part... if not we may need to wait longer.

[keystaff]

Right! I don't mind waiting, but I just thought it might be a good idea. Whenever we might figure supplies and the time to do it between missions and all. But you helped! Give me the idea, I mean.

[assent]

Then I am glad to help out. Let me know if you need anything when you ask others if they would like to join in as well.
