[ 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!! ]

Mine is in the spring. It's a good time to have it. Nice enough for outside celebrations before things get too hot.

[elfsufficient]

Is that so? Were you able to celebrate yours outside with friends, then?

[the_fourteenth]

I hadn't planned on celebrating at all. But others in my life made a different decision. One of my friends bought me a trip to the arcade to play laser tag with all of my friends. It was a really fun time and completely unexpected. An indoor activity, but a good one nonetheless.

[elfsufficient]

I'm sorry, but... what is laser tag?

[ she's had to ask so many of these kinds of questions since arriving here and she feels dumb about it but legitimately, what, ]

[It's okay, Raidou might be from Japan, but he's 350 years behind this place. He knows what it's like needing to get caught up.]

It's a game played with light guns, and you're on teams. Everyone is wearing vests and helmets that react to the guns, so it's like a war game where no one actually gets hurt.

[ could this be... cr forming on the basis of being young folks with old souls isekai'd into the far-flung future...!! ]

That seems like a very violent game to play. Is that kind of activity enjoyable...?

[the_fourteenth]

[This guy? Far too responsible and powerful for a kid his age. A lot on his shoulders. They should get along great.]

It's not, since there isn't any ammunition.
Just harmless beams of light that registers on the equipment. I found it pretty exhilarating.

[He's also a master marksman who wrecked everyone.]

[ 🤝 ]

Exhilarating, is it...?

[ she can't imagine enjoying playing Wars With Friends, even if no one gets hurt. ]

It's good that you enjoyed it, though. Personally, I think I would prefer a quieter activity.
