auroraexpress | BOND Campfire Friends

Who: Thyme and friends (everyone)
When: Day 56, evening
Where: Outside, a little ways away from the train

[ Tonight, everyone is invited to a campfire get together. While it was organized by Thyme, friends and new faces alike are welcome to join in. They have all the things you need to make some great s'mores by the fire; including some nicely trimmed sticks for all your toasting needs. ]

We thought it might be nice to get everyone who wanted to come together and tell some stories. For us, this is an official way of bonding. But in general-- I think it could be good for everyone. So it doesn't have to just be us. If you have a story, you're welcome to share it! That goes for any other fun activities you might have in mind.

[ There's plenty of open space-- room for people to improvise if they want to add to the event. ]

The important part is that everyone gets to have fun together after all. So I hope you all enjoy yourselves. If there's anything I can do, please don't hesitate to ask.

Very well. Jasmine is water-themed and many of our members have adopted such names accordingly, but in the end, it is a name. It is important that you feel comfortable with and within it.

I will think on it for a time, but if you have suggestions, I will hear them.

Triton, Crest, Mist, Spritz, Boreas, Serac, Gonggong, Sleet, Wyatt, Rime, Caspian, Bay, Adrian, Hurley, Drake, Dylan, Kai, River, Tao, Tide...

[She ponders.]

[tilts his head thoughtfully]

Tide, perhaps. There's a sound to it I like.

Is that so? I can call myself glad to have supplied you with something useful, then, if you do. But, of course, it has naught to do with me.

Was it not your voice that provided the suggestion?

Yes, but I mean to say regardless of what you choose, how I feel should have no bearing on the matter.

I assure you that my choice reflects my own will.

As it should. Very well...Tide-han?

The meaning of the suffix is...?

Oh, it's an honourific. It is a polite way to refer to someone of roughly equal standing with you. If you recall that you are somehow my better, I can adjust accordingly.

And that is the custom from your home?

[Hm, how to...

she does not hesitate, at any rate.]

Yes, it is.

Then I've learned something today.

I am glad to have taught you something then, Tide-han.

[she knows he's not like, settled on it, but she wants to try it out further, nonetheless.]

What else do you consider it important for the new-awakened to know?

The new guide is surprisingly thorough on that front, if you've not read it yet. For Jasmine itself, however, we take turns with chores. You are newly-arrived, so I will not bother you with them, if you would much prefer to settle in first.

I would prefer to do my part, whatever that may be.

There is cooking and cleaning, but if you do not recall whether you can do the former, that is fine. Cleaning is more than sufficient and easy enough to teach quickly.

I believe I have some skill, though ingredients may be an issue in this world.

That is fine, regular items can be purchased with sparks. I have quite a few and have been restocking, so do not worry about healthy or savoury items.

Then I will see what I can accomplish with them.

Very well. If you require assistance at all, however, please do not hesitate to ask.

[They are living together, after all.]

I hope you'll take the same liberty.

[HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA]

Of course.

[Her voice is calm, even.]
