i said almost

halloween's always been pretty low on my list of holidays

how about you? thanksgiving? xmas?

[angelhunter]

New Years.

[purpura]

my birthday

got any resolutions?

[angelhunter]

Try and remember what it's like to be myself.

[purpura]

deep

now i need to think about a good one

[angelhunter]

When I was your age all my goals had to do with school.

[purpura]

i literally almost got expelled from college on a dare

and then i quit anyway

[angelhunter]

What were you studying?

[purpura]

social sciences

gotta be a good little heiress to mom's empire

what did you study?

[angelhunter]

Between medicine and engineering I didn't have room for much else but I made gratuitous use of the library. Poetry, philosophy, astronomy.

[purpura]

wow
you sure dabble

and when you got all tangled in your death research?
deathsearch?

[angelhunter]

I was compelled to learn even more.

Music theory, linguistics, art history.

[purpura]

sounds ever so slightly obsessive, my dude

[ And with the benefit of hindsight... ]

[angelhunter]

Hence the resolution.

[purpura]

would you do something different, if you had the chance?

[angelhunter]

[ That's not something it serves him to think about. ]

Yes, of course.

[purpura]

i'm glad to hear (read) that
so what now? what does hap plans to do moving on?

[angelhunter]

Have more conversations like this one, for a start.

[purpura]

solid idea, i concur
don't wait for others to come to you, though

have you talked to oa?
you call her something else, prairie?

[angelhunter]

I noticed her keeping an eye on me so I said hello. It went about as well as you'd expect it to.

How is Yelena?

[purpura]

screaming match?

hot as usual, lethal as usual
i think most people have healed a good deal from the game
not entirely, never entirely really
but it's progress

[angelhunter]

Remarkable what a change of scenery can do. [ For some people. ]

You said your favorite holiday is your birthday.
When is that?

[purpura]

i guess she grew more comfortable
also, hot water and soft beds never hurt

new years
i actually haven't told almost anyone about it, now that i think about it

[angelhunter]

My condolences.
That's almost as bad as having it on Christmas.

[purpura]

hey, at least i get to pressure people into twice as many gifts
if i had told anyone, that is
