[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?

But I digress.
You asked about my home world. It is very different from here. I died, suffices to say. So, being here is very relaxing.
no subject
Are you going to tell me how you died, since you pretty obviously want me to ask?
no subject
My world was swallowed by a black hole.
no subject
no subject
I think that's something we should be grateful for.
no subject
I mean, I don't disagree, but for hell's sake your delivery needs work.
I'd like to apologize on Flynn's behalf, he's kind of strange
Tell me about your world, then. If it is so different.
haha, no worries
It's actually pretty boring. I go to school, I oversee the orchestra and the marching band and a bunch of other clubs, I come home, I go to dinner with my dad. I do my schoolwork, I go to sleep. And then I do the whole thing over again. It's busy, but not really remarkable.
no subject
He lets Nonon's first comment slide. ]
Sounds like you've had a good time, then. This place probably holds more excitement to you, yes?
no subject
I like this place, though. You can go on an adventure if you want, or you can just pick a town and find work for a while, and from what I hear you can just quit and go adventuring again when you get bored if it's been more than five days that you've been working. It's pretty nice.
no subject
[ ... um. What to say now? ]
Have you had success?
no subject
[Okay, let's...let's try this again.]
You're finding this place nice, right? Is it the sort of place you'd be okay with staying forever?
Death aside, I mean. If you had to choose between being here and being somewhere else.
no subject
But for a long period of time, yes.
[ It's not like there's anywhere he can go back to. ]

no subject
[ He's not jealous. Merely observing. ]
no subject
I can't really imagine staying in my own country for my entire life, for example. It's not really anything about this place in particular, I just don't like being pinned down.
no subject
Even if you don't stay home for a long time. You'd at least visit a bit.
no subject
I see what you're getting at, though.
no subject
What're you aiming for currently?
no subject
I guess I'm biding my time more than anything. Either my leader will show up here eventually with a plan saying what should be done, or she won't and I'll go home eventually. I don't really have any set plans right now because there aren't any to be made in this place.
