Train Meeting

Who: You
When: Day 23 morning

[So you've all been invited via Chain to an "Informal Train-wide Meeting". Rean has a few things to say and then the rest of the post can be discussing things among each other really.]

A Divine Knight? Like, some sort of spirit?

Exactly. In my world I'm usually asleep, but there are times in history someone will awaken me for my powers.

Right now, I don't remember much more than that, but as I regain my strength I should remember more of my past.

Hm, I do recall basic things. Like I'm pretty sure I like fishing and playing card games. How about you?

That is interesting. Then you are not quite like the other amnesiacs here, if you remember what you are. That is truly quite fascinating. Do you serve a particular God?

I enjoy playing the flute, reading novels, and going to the theater.

A particular god...? There's really only the sky Goddess Aidios in Zemuria, but I don't serve her directly.

Those are some good interests. I'd be interested to hear you play the flute some time, if you're willing.

Why would there only be one? That doesn't make much sense to me.

Y-You're not the first person that has said that. I'm something of an amateur, in truth. It is only a hobby.

It's hard to imagine more gods, for me.

Hm, as for music... I think what matters more is the feelings you're playing with. As long as you're enjoying playing, I know I'll enjoy listening.

[That should be a really trite line but he says it with utter sincerity.]

Isn't she..... busy?

[GOD YOU'RE SO

YOU'RE SO...]

M-Maybe sometime, then...

Probably?

I'd like that a lot, though. I'm looking forward to it.

[She tilts her head a moment, curious.]

...Ah! You were in one of Crow's memories!

Was I? I guess that makes sense. Apparently we went to school together.

Divine Knights go to school?

Haha... I used to be human a very long time ago. I don't actually remember it yet, but I'm excited to recall my friends from then.

Though it's somewhat bittersweet.

How so?

If they were around when I was human, they'd be long dead in my current time.

Ah. That must be, ah, lonely.

It is and it isn't. If I think about it too much it's sad but I don't want the thought of being sad in the future to make it impossible for me to enjoy having them right now.

That is a good attitude to have. Nothing is permanent, after all.

[Gently bumps shoulders with her.]

Yeah. It's okay to think of things you've lost and even be afraid of losing the things you have, but if it makes you unable to appreciate them in the moment then what's the point? It's not possible to live a life without regrets, but you can decide which regrets you can live with.

What about you, what do you think you want to do here?

[THIS BOY IS UNFAIR]

Ah, you're a very brave person.

I think that the games where we were asked to share things about ourselves, and engage in everyday friendly activity were quite successful in forging some sort of rapport.

Haha I think I'm more greedy, but thank you.

Are you thinking of running a game like that? Or is that just your interest?

I do not know if I would be good at it. But I may try. I think those seem to have had good results in defusing the atmosphere, but we will need to keep them varied to prevent boredom. Simple games and contests like senet or fishing may be good.

Hey if it's a fishing contest I'm on board.

What's senet?

I actually am not certain if we have actual fish in the waters, though.

A board game that we play in my homeland. It is relatively simple, but relaxing.
