[PRE-POST WHATNOT]
[It's raining outside today, but for once Nonon doesn't seem to mind; she's still in the utter sinkhole that is Violet City, but for the time being, her morale is good. Her money ran out quite some time ago, and she'd been okay with sleeping outside (it was going to take more than that to get her down properly) until that freak snowstorm last week felt the need to hit; seeing as she'd never worked a day in her life (not a proper job, not something that wasn't school and training) the idea of doing that was something almost completely foreign to her, but eventually she'd caved and applied somewhere and gotten hired.
And in the time since, she's discovered the surprisingly unsarcastic utter joy in the equation that is "make muffins = get money."
Sure, she's probably never going to get the flour out of her hair again and half the time she somehow ends up with glaze on her face, but she's found a bakery and they were hiring and she's stronger than she looks, and there's something really satisfying about being able to do things with her hands and see the results, and generally she's doing really well. Singing a bit while she does it, even, and making use of her Ambipom's entirely too many hands to hold trays for her while she works.
Life is actually surprisingly good today.]

This place is actually pretty mundane, for somewhere that has a bunch of magical fire-spitting animals at their disposal. It took a lot of considering it, but I don't think I can really complain about that, though. It's sort of nice to know that even in a place that has something like that, people aren't using them to burn each other's faces off.
(Usually, anyway, I've heard there are a few whackjobs that do that.)
How many of you are from somewhere like this? Where there's not much going on, I mean, and you can just kind of exist.
And if you're from somewhere that's not like this and there's stuff going on all the time, what's it like for you to be living here now? Is it boring for you, or is it sort of a relief?

you need a damn good leader to get everyone on the same page
much less capable of doing anything
no subject
no subject
but theres a difference between being a gang leader and actually getting people to work together
i could whip everyone up into a frenzy and point them in a direction and then hope for the best
but a good leader has their loyalty
its kind of hard to explain
no subject
no subject
leaders like that arent all that common
no subject
As long as I can follow her, I'm happy.
no subject
thats the sort of thing they manage to inspire in everyone
im kinda jealous i cant do it
but it takes an extraordinary leader to pull off something like that
no subject
no subject
that someone would follow your orders no matter what they are
and they wouldnt even question you about it theyd just trust you to do the best thing
and then even if you fuck up they still trust you so wholeheartedly
its a lot of responsibility having to look after other people like that
i definitely wouldnt be any good at that
no subject
no subject
