The festival was pretty fun, wasn't it? Although I think my favorite festival is still that one Tanabata that was forever ago. That's where I got my fish! Wally and I won them, and I've been taking care of the little guys ever since.

[... and she's quiet for a moment as she flips through the journal pages. It'll be four years soon, huh? Time really flies]

Who wants to do something fun? It won't be an expedition to unknown daring lands, but it will still be pretty cool! But, the catch is I won't tell you what the fun activity is until you agree to it. [hehehe, yes someone is being silly on purpose]


Let's do something!



You're making a big band, right? Do you take people who have technically never played an instrument before but could probably learn?


[hmm, who else could she talk to? after a moment of consideration she pushes up the sleeves of her little jacket and writes]


...... Hello? Can anyone see this filter?

["Date" is a really strong word...]

How about instead, you tell me where it is you want to get lunch?

[optimystic]

[she waggles her finger]

You can't avoid it forever, you know.

And... I'll lead the way! It'll be a surprise.

[He's really hoping for Maya to just... get other things on her mind...]

Okay, okay.

[Following along with her.]








I threw up on GLaDOS the other day.

[optimystic]

.....



Don't tell me that was your date?

[takethat]

What--no!! I was just changing the subject... I definitely did not go on a date with GLaDOS!

[optimystic]

Good! Wait, I mean... not that you can't go on a date with her, but still! She doesn't seem like your type.

A-Anyway! Why did you throw up on her? Were you feeling sick?

[takethat]

I guess she's not my type...

[And now he really wants to know what Maya thinks his type is.]

Oh! It's because she and Wheatley dragged me on the Ferris wheel during the carnival! And you know, I hate heights, and I got all upset.

[optimystic]

[ahaha, she just remembers those memories of growing up with her. She likes GLaDOS, but she seems a bit too......... snarky for Nick]

Yikes. Those two are nice, but sometimes they don't know when to quit. [but it sounds like he made it through the ordeal okay]

Did you do anything else interesting during the carnival?

[takethat]

Mostly just that. I won a ton of cheap junk, and a goldfish, and then I watched the fireworks with Miles.

[Shrug.]

How about you? Anything exciting to report?

[optimystic]

Aw, really? What did you name your goldfish?

Not much. I just ran around trying to find as many of my friends as I could.

[takethat]

I named it Grossberg.

[He didn't, really, but he says it so seriously, hoping to mess with her....]

[optimystic]

[. . . . . .]

Is he a really big goldfish?

[takethat]

Not really! He's not nearly as big as Magikarp.

[optimystic]

[ahaha, she laughs at that]

Okay, good. I think if we found a goldfish that big it would be pretty scary.
