[ well, that's quite the mental update. while ishmael isn't reeling from the download's sappy effects, she is in the mood to yap and gossip -- which is typically unlike her at all. and so, while they're all still waiting for the download to finish, she's got this to ask on their shared network. ]

Looks like this is going to take a while. And I know that most of us here were haunted by certain dreams a while back, me included. It's something I've already gone through back home so I'm not too bothered with it now, but I'm going to go ahead and ask anyway.

What are some of your happier memories?

That's probably easier said than done, though. You don't even have to think too far back and just share whatever made you happy since coming here. It's corny, sure, but we could definitely need some cheering up after all that on top of this horribly hot weather.

Of course, if you're too shy to share them to everyone in the class, I get it. I know I am. You can just tell me privately if you trust me that much, or you don't have to say anything at all and just read or react to everyone's contributions instead. Also if anyone's gonna come here to say shit like "Oh I'm not gonna share anything :/" then do us all a favor and not waste our time. Thanks. 👍

[ ish is too embarrassed to share hers right now, if anyone's wondering 🧍‍♂️ of course, feel free to threadjack if needed. happy yapping!! ]

[ girl...... ]

A spring birthday, huh? It suits you. If you do ever want to celebrate, there's plenty of people who'll be willing to accomodate.

I believe there's even a list of birthdays floating around you can add yours too.

[elfsufficient]

Some people here really are quite thoughtful. I'm glad. I will look into the list...

When is your birthday, Mr. Wriothesley?

[frostfist]

November.

[ she's going to have to grill further for the exact date. ]

I don't usually celebrate it though, so you don't need to worry about it.

[elfsufficient]

[ Now where has she heard this before... ]

I see...

And yet, you have people here who would probably go to great lengths to throw you a huge party, whether you like it or not. You might as well enjoy and let yourself be celebrated.

[ She didn't personally go to that Bachelor Party, but like... bro, ]

[frostfist]

[ NOT THE BACHELOR PARTY...........she might not be able to see it via text but he is grimacing so hard right now. ]

Thanks but I'll pass. I'm fairly certain it was less for my sake and more for the sake of having a party. In which case, I'm sure your birthday would be just as good of a reason.

[elfsufficient]

I will have to take a "pass" on that, too. If anyone made such a show of my birthday I would never speak to them again.

[ Look, she loves to celebrate her birthday, but not like that... ]

[frostfist]

Better never let Elysium find out about any of your personal details then. Maybe don't stand too close to anyone either just in case.

I'm sure my life is far too boring and mundane for someone like him to make anything of it, anyway...

[ especially compared to some of y'all... ]

[frostfist]

Maybe it seems boring to you, but to someone else the adventures you've been on could be some of the most exciting stories they've heard.

[elfsufficient]

[ . . . ]

I suppose you're right. When Miss Malkuth and Miss Hana listened to my stories about home, they seemed interested.

It was nice.

[frostfist]

Malkuth could listen to most stories and find something to be interested in. Similarly, if there's any activity you've ever wanted to try, she would probably be willing to try it with you.

[elfsufficient]

We'll see... She seems quite busy... But I'll keep that in mind.

[frostfist]

It's a busyness entirely of her own making, I assure you.

[ extroverts, man. ]

Though if she ends up too busy if you ever do ask, I'll step in. It's the least I can do.

[transmit]

That's nonsense, Miss Fern. No one's life is truly ever boring or mundane.
Whenever you decide on a date, be sure to let me know. Don't listen to whatever this guy's telling you, you'll be in good hands.

We can have a celebration you'll never forget!

[ NOOO ]

[elfsufficient]

No, thank you...

[ that's it that's the text ]

[transmit]

Haha, don't you think it's a little too late to be shy?

A picnic in one of the lovelier spots in Neo Tokyo, in the company of all the friends you've made here and a cake that'll feed everyone two times over. Wouldn't that be nice?

[elfsufficient]

I'm not being shy.

[ citation needed ]

And that much cake sounds too frivolous and expensive.

[ It does also sound delicious. And this does not sound like an outright rejection of the idea, either... maybe she's in a better mood (??) because of the update? ]

[transmit]

It's a good thing, then, that it's an all-encompassing policy that the person celebrating their birthday needn't worry about expenses.

What about it is frivolous exactly?

[elfsufficient]

People could get sick if they eat too much cake.
