Re: Some things

[awakenerd]

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?

Re: Some things

[awakenerd]

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

Re: Some things

[nihilmancy]

Ah. That must be, ah, lonely.

Re: Some things

[awakenerd]

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.

Re: Some things

[nihilmancy]

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.

Re: Some things

[awakenerd]

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?

Re: Some things

[nihilmancy]

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.

Re: Some things

[awakenerd]

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

What's senet?

Re: Some things

[nihilmancy]

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.
