menial | 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.

...a what?

A-- panda bear--...? Do you not know what that is?

Do I look like a zoologist to you? No one's seen a bear in years where I come from. How would I know a panda from a-- whatever kind of bears there are?

.....

Okay, let's leave the ursology to one side... Those things, uh, aren't supposed to be in the picture, I'm preetty sure.

Well, maybe they should be! They're much more exciting than some boring-old face, right?

I can't argue with that. Maybe you should just draw the next one yourself.

Then maybe I will!

[...]

I can't draw, though.

Why not? If you can see things so accurately in pictures, that's gotta be half the battle.

Hey, drawing is hard!

I mean. Unless you're expecting some fantastic stick figures? I can do those. [...] Probably.

I am expecting the most fantastic ones of all, Hoshikyo.

......

Gimme a minute, then!

[She's actually going to draw fantastic stick figures now.]

[Kyon, what have you done.]

Sure.

['This should be good.'}

[It takes a few minutes, but soon...]

There! See, it's either two princesses going to a castle, or some creepy cat face thing! You know. If you squint a little.

[...]

[She's serious, by the way.]

...

Wow. I really didn't expect it to be of this quality, that fast.

...Though I have to say, the princesses seem to be facing away from the castle. Maybe they're leaving the castle instead? Oh, or maybe there's actually three ways to think of it. Princesses going to the castle, princesses coming from the castle, or the misshapen cat.

[.....]

Are you making fun of me?

What? No. Just thinking out loud.

Uh-huh. Sure.

[............]

Why don't you draw something then!

Because it wouldn't be nearly as good as yours of course.

Well that's not fair! I drew something for you, so you owe me a drawing in return! Otherwise I'll have to charge you.

[Yep.]

Charge me what, exactly?

Charge you for soliciting my artistic services, of course!

Yeah, but what are you going to charge me in?

...

Twenty hours of indentured servitude.

[She's trying very hard to sound serious.]

... Wouldn't be the first time.

['Wouldn't be the worst time, either.']

...you've been forced to be someone's slave for a day before?

[Trying not to laugh here.]
