[ 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] ]

You do. However, twisting what we think the other knows of us is part of the game, is it not? Still, if you are not interested either that is fair enough. Or perhaps it may even be that you just have not met what people refer to as "The One".

[ It's not like she has either???? ]

However, I do believe in fate... at least in some circumstances. I believe it was fate that led me here, even if ALASTAIR or others may say otherwise.

[ Just like she also believes that she will only die when it's beneficial to her country. After everything that happened at home... it may just be that she'll be executed for Novoselic in the end. Who knows. ]

[ex_adept136]

It's a complicated matter. I've fancied such thing for myself, but I don't believe it's in the cards for me, as it were. Such being the case, I place my focus where it might be better spent.

[Haise would be delighted for fluff but there's the matter of his diet being 100% cannibalistic no matter what he does. Puts a bit of a damper on any sort of romantic relationship thoughts]

I'd like to believe the murder game is false, but at the same time...similar things exist where I come from.

[Ghoul restaurants have some terrible ideas of dinner and a show...]

[assent]

I understand. It is not as though my position offers any leeway for romance. One day I will probably marry someone of importance from another country to keep mine safe. It is what it is.

[ Yet also very sad in its own way. Zero romance comes from it, and it's merely more like a cage than anything else. ]

They do? That one is also true though, however, it may not have worked in the same way as you are thinking. The original intention was to be a Hope Game, but the mechanics were altered by a third party.

[ex_adept136]

I guess for different reasons, we're ultimately in the same boat... At least until the arranged marriage part.

[In his case, he highly doubts he'd ever be permitted a romantic relationship. He's a weapon, after all. That's all he's supposed to be.

Not to mention, what are his options even if they did allow it?]

What do you mean by "hope game"?

[assent]

Ultimately, it would seem so. I hope one day it happens though, I imagine it is a very warm feeling.

[ Because imagination is all she has to go on here. Her world is not in a state that would permit her the time to feel romance now either, given that she woke up knowing the Future Foundation wants them dead, and even in her future they'll be taking the blame for everything. ]

It was merely something to increase friendship, nothing very important.

[ Or at least, today that is the only information she's giving. ]

[ex_adept136]

Hopefully it works out.

[For her, at least, he hopes that's possible. Haise wants to believe that somehow, whomever she's bound to marry will be a good person, and one who will give her the love and warmth she ought to expect as much as anyone else does]

The Earth I come from doesn't have anything quite like that, I don't think.

[assent]

Hopefully.

[ Though she knows that's a lie in itself. The world she's from no longer has room for marriage ceremonies and the like. It needs rebuilding first, and her life will now be a life in the shadows. ]

It is rather new in mine as well.

[ex_adept136]

Never any harm in more people being friends, surely.

[How terrible the reality of this will be in some other thread...]

[assent]

Of course! Would you like to go again now?

[ Because she doesn't want to linger on this lie. It's unfair. ]

[ex_adept136]

[Dirty Stepford Liars around these parts]

Alright, let's have a tie-breaker. Whoever loses this round makes something for the winner, sound fair?

[Not that he won't make something for her even if he wins...]

[assent]

[ Sssh sssh ]

That does sound reasonable, though I feel as though I would be getting the better deal should I win...

[ex_adept136]

I'm a man of simple tastes, so I'm not sure I agree.

[Simple tastes. More like his pickings are incredibly slim, right...]

[assent]

If you are certain, then I do not see why not.

[ Though to be fair he only said make "something" so maybe she could sew him something instead... ]

[ex_adept136]

Alright then, let me just think of some...

[Since she'd come up with the last batch, it seems it's his turn once more]

One of my subordinates plays dating sims and calls me maman, another one has a younger brother who's taller than he is so he hates standing next to him, and another uses oil paints despite being very sensitive to their smell.

[assent]

[ She ends up frowning slightly that while these things are related to him, they aren't technically about him. It means that next time she'll have to branch out a bit as well. ]

Perhaps the middle one? About the one with a younger brother?

[ She knows he mentioned art before and dating sims are very popular in Japan -- it may be right. That only leaves the one about height. ]

[ex_adept136]

Bingo. Urie-kun does use oil paints, since impressionism is his preferred style, and he does have a keen sense of smell. Saiko-chan enjoys video games, including dating sims...and she does call me maman.

[French for mom. His squadling calls him mom.

And those honorifics are so hard to shake off when talking about people with whom these have always been standard]

[assent]

You did mention that one of them liked painting, that is why I thought that must be true. Dating games are also very popular, are they not? Though I must say I can see why maman is a name that has stuck.

[ He can't see it, but she's laughing slightly. ]

You do seem like the type to mom people.

[ex_adept136]

I'll admit I like looking after people. There's something comforting in it, though that might be strange to say.

[He loves domesticity okay...]

[assent]

Not at all. There are many people who are "mom" types.

[ anime references ofc ]

[ex_adept136]

I suppose my nickname suits me then.

So what shall I make for you?

[She did win the game]

[assent]

So it would seem.

Hmm. Perhaps another dessert? The chocolate raspberry tarts from before were delicious some things similar would be lovely.

[ex_adept136]

Can do. Give me an hour and I'll have something ready in the kitchen.

wraps this up with ftb dskjgsg

[assent]

Very well, I shall meet you there in an hour.
