Working is easier when you do not view it as work. And if my power is diligence... I suppose that will be better for me in the long run. To rely on anything else would blind me to my real strengths.
But promise that you will work hard too, even if what you are currently doing is not something you enjoy.
Alright. I don't want to make promises I can't keep, but I'll work hard. Though, I admit it's getting harder for me to focus lately. There's too much going on.
I keep remembering stuff I'd be better off not knowing. Is it the same for you, old man?
Yes, but slowly. Foreign memories have slowly made their way into my own. I do not know how, or whether I should be tremendously worried, but it sounds like others have been able to deal with them.
Thanks for the tip. We're turning your shop into a bomb shelter next time. How exciting. Hope you've got sleeping bags for us. Let's all go for a slumber party.
Okay, I'm kidding. There, that's my joke. Sorry I can't do better than that.
... sadly the basement may not work very well, but the rest of it? It would be a happy coincidence, though the potential of exploding would be a bit of a downer for those who may happen to visit during that time.
Sweet. You place isn't too far from mine, either way. I'll drop by and keep you company like usual. Do you play cards games? It'll be a nice way to pass time over tea.
Think it's some kind of exotic tea. My guardians travel a lot so they have a huge collection of souvenirs from outside. It might even be tea you've never tried before. I'd like that too. Food tastes better with other people.
Now, that would be quite interesting, to drink a tea I have never had before... and I would admit it would be very surprising. I have had many teas. Not that I would be considered a true master, or anything.
And with others, yes. Anything to eat or drink is much better with others.

... I swear it was a good joke.
But no one will get hurt. I will try my best, even if I do not wield magnificent powers.

If you have any power, it's the power to be diligent. I can't think of many people who enjoy working like you do.
no subject
But promise that you will work hard too, even if what you are currently doing is not something you enjoy.

no subject
I hope yours do not bother you.
no subject
My new memories bother me more than it should. First I got my phone back, but I couldn't understand any of the messages on it.
Yesterday I was able to understand them clearly for some reason. What's the deal with that? Is it normal to learn a language overnight?
no subject
Though I believe in your case... perhaps it just bubbled up from some murky place dark and deep below inside your conscious.
...
I like the idea of 'osmosis' though.
no subject
So...the language I remembered was demon tongue. Do you believe in monsters, old man?
You don't catch me as the type to believe in something so farfetched.
no subject
[ what's more unrealistic? learning through applying a book to the forehead OR demons? ]
... I would need to see it to believe it. But then again, I cannot simply just say something does not exist.
I will sit on the fence.
no subject
Alright, that's fair. I hope you never have to meet a real monster, old man.
We aren't equipped to deal with that.
no subject
Hopefully that is a comforting thought.
no subject
Do you think we're doing the right thing by going to school and continuing like normal? Even knowing something else might happen?
I have trouble deciding what's the best thing to do.
no subject
Sitting idle would be, at best, an interruption. At worst? I cannot assume.
no subject
They just said there was gonna be a storm. Think it'll be a normal one?
no subject
So... once again, hard to say.
But as a reminder! If anything were to go wrong, you may use the shop for shelter. I live close enough to where I can keep it open for any reason.

Oh.
Yes, good joke.

Do you play cards games? It'll be a nice way to pass time over tea.
no subject
So if we do, please show me mercy.
But your company regardless would be nice.
no subject
Would poker be fine? Or how about old maid?
A game with a simple set of rules would be better.
no subject
I am sure we can find something to do with cards, even if at most it turns into '52 Pick-Up'.
no subject
I completely forgot that my guardians had something for you.
It's a small tea package. I'll bring that too.
no subject
I am curious to see what may be inside of it.
We can enjoy it together.
no subject
It might even be tea you've never tried before.
I'd like that too. Food tastes better with other people.
