[Hi Paradisa, have the sound of a pen tapping against the journal]

[Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap-]

[Finally the sound stops and there's a melodramatic defeatist groan]

Ugh! Fine I give up!

Hey Paradisa! How are you all?

Tell me, what's a good way to kill a lot of time without going crazy? And please, nothing about reading, training or playing in the snow.

Thank you! ♥

Ahahah, I don't really know what that is.

[nukeoleptic]

Um. Hehe. Greenhouses. Are there any greenhouses?

[wilder]

...I take it you don't mean houses that are painted green, darling.

[nukeoleptic]

They're big glass buildings. Temperature controlled, sometimes.

[wilder]

A glass building...? [He's trying to imagine that] But how does it hold itself up? Glass's not that strong.

[nukeoleptic]

[ She just sketches this. ]

[wilder]

[looks at it]

Huh.

And it's good for growing stuff?

[nukeoleptic]

Yep!

[ And while she talks, she starts doodling this. ]

It's really good for things that are.. I guess delicate, maybe? Or picky about environment.

[wilder]

Wow.

I wonder if Flanoir has stuff like that. It'd help them a lot.

[nukeoleptic]

Is Flanoir another town around here?

[wilder]

Nah, back home. It has snow year round.

[nukeoleptic]

Seems cold. I guess that's not where you're from?

[wilder]

Hahaha, thankfully no. I'm from a warmer continent.

[nukeoleptic]

Me, too. Does this place have normal seasons?

[wilder]

Define 'normal'.

[nukeoleptic]

Oh! Jeez, yeah, sorry, that was a dumb question. Seasons, I mean- spring, summer, winter, fall? Is it just snowy because it's winter, or is it like that all year?

[wilder]

Ahahaha, it's okay darling!

There's four seasons, yeah. Spring will probably come in March, it's really pretty then!

[nukeoleptic]

Hehe, my name is Jade. And that's really cool! It was just warm most of the time on my island.

[wilder]

Ah! Like the gemstone! I'm Zelos, a pleasure to meet you, my dear!

Oh yeah? What was that like?

[nukeoleptic]

It's a pleasure to meet you, too. I'm running across a lot of really nice people here!

And it was neat. Warm all of the time. I liked it!

[wilder]

Hey, good to hear!

Sounds nice. I hope you survive this winter.

[nukeoleptic]

Hopefully I'll get to go home before it's over!! But I'm used to visiting a place with lots of snow, so it's okay.

[wilder]

[he laughs a little]

How long you've been here exactly?

[nukeoleptic]

[ There's a moment of deliberation... ]

Eight days!

[wilder]

Ahaha, that explains it.

Sorry to say, but people usually stay here at least five or six months. And since spring starts in March...you'll probably here to see it!
