thirty fourth dance | voice;

[motioned]

[A rustling sound, like someone shifting around on a bed.]

You know, I make sure to pay really good attention to the calendar and changing the days, and I realized that it's been a whole year and a half since I first got here. It's sort of weird - sometimes it doesn't feel that long at all, but there are times it seems a lot longer. Even though it's hard, I'm glad. I learned a lot of stuff I probably wouldn't have, from some really amazing people. Some of them have gone home, but...

[She pauses, making sure her voice will hold before continuing.]

I know most of them are back where they would want to be. Even if I miss them, being sad just shows that we were close, so I think even that is something to be glad for. I hope everyone wouldn't be too sad for very long if I got sent home again, too.

I guess I just wanted to say thank you to everyone, all my friends and even people I've only talked to once. I don't know if I could have been very happy here at all if I didn't meet all of you, so I feel like owe you a lot.

[ooc: Forward dated to the 2nd! Tags will be sloooow because hiatus, but I wanted to slap this up now, because I'm not sure when I'll have a mostly free evening in the near future.]

Wow! Sounds like you've made lots of really good friends here.

[theshortestbird]

The bad times make you appreciate the good that much more.

[laurice]

I...think? I could always set aside a bit of my paycheck for those.

[video]

[surgicalshot]

I did! More then I have back home... but I miss them, sometimes. How about you?

[voice]

[kuritsun]

Well... No, but I could learn. I have the background... [ sigh. ] I'm hoping that I can just do research work.

[voice]

[summing_it_up]

–They are?

[text; batcryption]

[motioned]

Well, yeah, but you can go through hard times and still try to be optimistic about it!

[video]

[motioned]

I have a lot of people here I really care about, but the same is true for back home. I think I have more here, though, because this place is bigger than my hometown.

[voice]

[motioned]

Oh! People research stuff at hospitals, too? I thought they just took care of sick people.

[voice]

[motioned]

At least, I'm happy to help people I care about when they have a problem!

[video]

[surgicalshot]

You came from a really small town?

[video]

[motioned]

Mhm! Definitely smaller than here.

[motioned]

Yeah! It seems like it would be worth it, especially if you like art a lot.

[laurice]

And I do! I could start making cute little jewelry next.

[voice]

[summing_it_up]

Really? I mean, I can believe you're not just saying that just because.

[voice]

[motioned]

Of course I like helping my friends!

[voice]

[summing_it_up]

Okay. Now that we've clarified that...I'll keep this in mind. For future reference.

[video]

[surgicalshot]

The village I grew up in, in Japan, was really small, too. It was the size of one of the sectors, here!

[voice]

[motioned]

Okay! Then I'll be glad to be able to help you if something ever happens.

[video]

[motioned]

Really? Mine was smaller than that. I think it was only a few miles all the way around.

[voice]

[summing_it_up]

Yeah. Okay.

[voice]

[kuritsun]

Usually, yes. Unless it's a very small hospital... They may not necessarily be in the same building, of course.

[voice]

[motioned]

Do you want to study brains again?

[voice]

[kuritsun]

[ wow, it sounds really weird put that way. ] ... If I can, yes. It's my life's work.

[ not including the time machine she's going to pretend that never happened. ]

[voice]

[motioned]

What got you interested in them in the first place?
