[ 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!! ]

Wait. Y'know... I was joking, but there's actually something kind of beautiful about that level of positive thinking, now that I think about it.

[ positive thinking, what a novel idea. how many positivity coaches did a guy need in life? apparently more than one. ]

comparatively it really is. and technically i am.
waking up adjacent to happy, i mean. it's easier since i came here.

are you in need of inhuman amounts of optimism?

[busternaut]

[Dearka usually IS the positivity coach, funnily enough. Though he's also pretty pragmatic when it comes right down to it.]

Eh... Not me specifically, but I think in general a lot of people could do with more 'chilling out and taking things a bit easier', you know?

[gimu]

while this is admittedly difficult considering the pantheon of large creatures out to eat the rest of humanity, i understand. if we want to fight at our best, we must be able to “chill out” to the max.

[busternaut]

Exactly. I've tried doing the combat without a level head thing before, it never pans out well. And ample relaxation between missions is key.
