[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! ♥

Sorta! Lightning, wind, fire, earth...can never seem to get a handle on water though.

[And don't definitely not ice. Never that.]

[msattentionspan]

Huh.

Are you good at it? Like the other things, not the water part.

[wilder]

Sure! Haven't lit my hair on fire in years!

[msattentionspan]

Yeah, that doesn't exactly sound right.

[wilder]

Oh true me, it isn't! The smell of burnt hair? Sticks for days.

[msattentionspan]

Makes you real careful from then on.

sob that's supposed to be *trust

[wilder]

Oh yeah! It was a real lifelong lesson.

no worries <3

[msattentionspan]

Anyone give you any good ideas?

[wilder]

Well, one friend suggested carving, but I can't help but suspect it's to laugh at my feeble attempts. [Maybe, it's hard to tell with Presea really]

You got any?

[msattentionspan]

I usually drink or go out somewhere trying to find someone to kill time with. Dancing, drinking -- sparring.

Maybe exploring that maze thing that's in the castle.

[wilder]

That's not too different from what I usually do. Though can't say I've sparred a whole lot. [Except with Lloyd anyway]

Oh yeah, that Insolitus thing?

[msattentionspan]

Yeah, I guess people get lost in there for hours.

[wilder]

I've heard that. Wonder if anyone's died in there..........

[msattentionspan]

Wouldn't the castle bring 'm back after two weeks? They'd probably tell people if they died in the maze.

[wilder]

Not if they get sent home during their dead time..!

[msattentionspan]

Yeah, but then it's not our problem, right?

[wilder]

I don't think it is...

Still might make a good ghost story to tell people.

[msattentionspan]

Yeah, but it'd be one we'd never really hear. If they go home, we don't even know they went in there.

[wilder]

Ah, see that's half the fun. Someone else can tell it, and there's no way to verify if it's true or not!

That's half the fun of ghost stories!

[msattentionspan]

I don't know, I've lived scarier things than a maze.

[wilder]

Oh? What sort of things?

[msattentionspan]

End of the world type shit. Giant fat demon dudes in vats, tryin' to keep moist or whatever.

[wilder]

...Okay the fat demon that needs to be moist is just gross, not scary.

[msattentionspan]

Look, you asked.

[wilder]

And now I kinda regret doing so, how about that.
