[allephoria]

To think I've been here for more than a year already... I wonder, are you supposed to celebrate being in Discedo when you've been here for at least a year? While it is an anniversary of sorts, celebrating being kidnapped seems a bit strange.

[Then she smiles, warmly.] Still, despite everything that's happened this past year, I'm a bit glad to have

[fierybluebird]

It's still another year of surviving, eh?

[allephoria]

I suppose so, though I don't think I've ever had to survive quite like this before.

[fierybluebird]

Does it get easier with time you think?

[allephoria]

Ah... something like that, I suppose. [It's more like due to her memory condition, this place is practically the only thing she knows. WHOOPS.]

[fierybluebird]

[Whoops indeed.]

Reminds me of the New World really. Most rookies don't make it a year.

[allephoria]

The New World?

[fierybluebird]

Second half of the Grand Line. An often deadly and always unpredictable ocean in my world, eh.

[allephoria]

If it's as dangerous as it sounds, I doubt I'd last for long, much less a year.

[fierybluebird]

Sometimes it's more about the nakama you find, eh?

[allephoria]

Nakama... [She nods in agreement.] Yes, I definitely think that's true. I don't know how I would be now if it weren't for all the people I've met here.

[fierybluebird]

Aye. It's difficult to contemplate. I like to think I'm much this way.

You too?

[allephoria]

Hm... a little, I think. I wouldn't be much of anyone without the people I know.

[fierybluebird]

I suppose that's only natural with time, eh?

[allephoria]

"With time," is it...?

[fierybluebird]

Aye. With family or friends around, time seems to be gone in an instant and you don't know where it went.

[allephoria]

Ah, that's true, isn't it? You're having so much fun you can't even keep track of how much time you spend together.
