10 ~ comparing those worlds to this boring, normal life [audio/picture]

['Well. It sure got cold pretty fast, huh? Which means that I'm rapidly approaching the one-year mark, so I should really be proud. Or something. After burrowing myself away to avoid complications from refugees, my antisociality has reached a certain limit.

Unfortunately, I also have nothing to contribute beyond the observation about the weather which I already blithely used up there! Not that people can read my thoughts, but if they could, they'd find out. Well, they'd find out a lot of things. But who would want to anyway? It would just go on and on without any point.

Anyway, I guess I'll poorly disguise my attempt to see who's up for a random conversation with some kind of opener. Hey, if I were at home, this would be a mind-scarring Omegle session or something. At least I'm pretty sure I won't run into the usual problems stranger-chatting over the journal.'

...and so:]

So I found this in a book the other day.

Maybe this doesn't work as well over the journal, but I thought it was cool, anyway. Or at least different from discussions about fire and eternal suffering, continued kidnapping, disappearance, reappearance, cross-dressing, and so on.

....

Beautiful.

Thank you.

[isn't it a better face?]

... Yeah. That's, uh, very realistic, too.

The face is much easier to see like this.

True. But what about the tree and the statue?

It's right there.

[she points to the... tree-ish looking thing on the side, and the black nose.]

Well--

But...

You know, you're right.

You should try drawing one too.

I don't think I could ever top yours.

But it's fun.

Ah, yeah, well, for those of us who can draw as well as you, maybe.

You can't draw?

Not one bit.

Then, I can teach you.

[kyon, say no]

Really? To be as good as you? How long will that take, though? Probably years. I don't know if I have that long.

You won't know if you don't try.

...All right. Let's go for it.

Okay!

You should start by trying to draw something.

[very specific instructions.]

... Seems like that's how I should finish, too.

Yes?

[Kyon your snark goes over her head]

Ah.

Well, is that the whole lesson, then? It was really good.

['...']

[oh...

She now realizes she needs to be more specific.]

You haven't started drawing yet. First you pick up your pencil.

......

Okay. Let's say I did that.

[Teaching is hard work. Can't you figure it out yourself from there?]

Then draw an oval and give it some squiggly lines.
