Re: LIFE

[unguilded]

That's true. I've learned a lot of new things here, too.

Re: LIFE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Nods.] What do you like to do?

That we...can do inside, kinds stuck in my home.

Re: LIFE

[unguilded]

Well, I like a lot of things you have in this room! Board games, video games ... we have one in Amalthea now. I like snacks, and cats, too! I've never played an instrument, but they sound pretty!

Re: LIFE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Video games and instruments aren't....too bad right now. Though I could play the violin for you?

Re: LIFE

[unguilded]

Can you? If you want to! Do you know a lot of songs?

Re: LIFE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Not a HUGE array, but I know a good number from the skill.

Re: LIFE

[unguilded]

[ Reaches for her hand to head over to the violin. ]

That's still impressive!

Re: LIFE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[ewajioejwaew]

I just...had a lot of free time.

Re: LIFE

[unguilded]

Do you think I'd be good at playing something?

Re: LIFE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Depends how delicate a touch you got.

[Considering the violin.]

Re: LIFE

[unguilded]

Well, I can deal with vanships easily enough, I think. And sometimes that takes delicacy.

[ Grabbing for the violin to hand to her, somewhat excited! ]

Re: LIFE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Then you might not be bad.

[Always with the video game violin music BECAUSE]

Re: LIFE

[unguilded]

[ Listening closely.

:3 ]

Uwaaah...

Re: LIFE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Plaaaaays, aw yeah.]

How'd you like it?

Re: LIFE

[unguilded]

[ Claps. ]

I loved it!!

Re: LIFE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Smiles.] Thanks!

Re: LIFE

[unguilded]

I hope I can hear more, outside, when we're done here. Maybe I can even learn how to play something, too, so we can have fun together!

Re: LIFE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

I'd like that.

Sol wants me to play too.

Re: LIFE

[unguilded]

I wonder if there's an instrument I'm good at...

Re: LIFE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Maybe. You do have a way with song. [Teasing.]

Re: LIFE

[unguilded]

I do, don't I~?

I guess I'll just have to try a bunch out.

Do you know how to play any others? Where did you learn how to play the violin?

Re: LIFE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Dunno. Mom probs left it for me and I decided to learn. Couldn't say why.

Dun play anything else, but I can sing.

Re: LIFE

[unguilded]

Well, you're really good at it! I'm glad I got to hear it in here.

Are you feeling a little better now?

Re: LIFE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

...yeah, I think so.

Re: LIFE

[unguilded]

I'm glad.

Just try to remember ... I know what this room is, and how it balances against its counterpart, but "happy" isn't always just smiling, isn't just always having fun or getting away from something bad. Sometimes you need to let yourself show a little hurt when you feel it in order to keep that smile genuine. Otherwise things can crack easily, and that makes it harder to keep up or really fix.

We'll always be here, though. Not just to support you if you need something or someone to lean on, but we'll do that while we do something fun, so nothing gets too overwhelming one way or the other, and you can find more real smiles somewhere in there.
