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.]

Who are they?

[surgicalshot]

Well... you, and Benjamin, and Pickles, and the doctors at the hospital, and the Newcomer clinic... lots of people.

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

[video]

[surgicalshot]

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

[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.

You came from a really small town?

[video]

[motioned]

Mhm! Definitely smaller than here.

[video]

[surgicalshot]

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

[motioned]

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

[surgicalshot]

That sounds tiny! This place must have been a pretty nice surprise!

[video]

[motioned]

Mhm! It's been a pretty big adventure.
