You know...I really don't get people sometimes. I was in the store earlier buying some ice cream, and these ladies in the freezer section were talking about how they were "totally breaking their new year's resolutions" by buying their fudge ripple.

Except new year's just happened. It hasn't even been two weeks! I didn't even know that was

By not buying-

[ p a u s e ]

What kind of resolution even is that?!

[ 8( seriously ....why would you resolve to NOT buy the fudge ripple.....n o.... ]

[binarysky]

I think they meant all ice cream.

That's even worse.

[faroffdream]

If you make one, yours'll be a lot better.

[ HE'S SURE OF IT mostly because a resolution to not buy ice cream is......... B( ]

[binarysky]

[That's a resolution to have a terrible year is what it is.]

I'd have too. Dunno if I will, though.

What about you?

[faroffdream]

[ EXACTLY what Sora was thinking. B| IS thinking. Will always think... ]

Well...maybe. I mean, I guess it'd be good to make one. They're supposed to be about uh...improving. I think. Not sure what it'd be.

We could both make them though, if we can think of...any...?

[ rock solid suggestions since....kh genesis or something sob ]

[binarysky]

Sure, we could do that.

[And he'll think of one...any...second now...

Okay maybe Sora should go first...]

Um...

[faroffdream]

[ waiting...waiting.......oh wel....l....in that case..... ]

Ummm.....

[ they're really good at this, gold star....s....all around... ]

....we could resolve....or I mean, I ...I thought about maybe getting a job? We don't have to but it'd be good for experience... [ that isn't fighting or uh fighting or uh....yeah... ] - not sure what I'd do though.

[binarysky]

A job?

[Un...sure...]

I don't know if I'm really qualified for stuff. I've never had a real one before, besides, you know...

[Resume entry: 1 year in the service of the bad guys.]

And some odd jobs around Twilight Town.

[faroffdream]

Well I was actually thinking of something like odd jobs! I dunno if there's you know, an official name for it but maybe kind of doing my own thing - running errands or random tasks.

What kinds of odd jobs?

I bet you're more qualified than you think!

[ ...a-and even 1 year in service of Those Guys counts...just might reword...it.....cough. ]

[binarysky]

Cleaning up some trash. Putting posters up. nothing special.

[If he sounds the slightest bit quieter, it's because...well. Those jobs don't count. They weren't real.]

[faroffdream]

[ Sora though he's no mindreader does notice the quietness. He's been actually more in tune since moving in with Roxas and Demyx, with Roxas at least, almost as if they've keyed into a wavelength. He's not sure if he's imagining it though or not, but he goes with it. If he's wrong, Roxas will tell him. ]

It's still something! [ Reassuring tone... ] I haven't done anything much more than that either. So it'd kind of be...expanding for the both of us, right?

Like, we can run errands for people and we could um...maybe we could take care of pets? I met someone once who said they used to walk dogs! That could be fun...

[ SORA IS A JOB SUPPOSED TO BE FUN?!?! Maybe not....oh well... ]

[binarysky]

Not much of a thing.

[He pushes the thought away. It doesn't matter that he knows that Axel was his real best friend, that Axel is the one he would've wanted to spend his summer vacation with, if the Organization had ever given them one.

He still remembers every fake day, and it still hurts.]

Dogs are okay...what's got you thinking about jobs, though? Getting bored?

[faroffdream]

[ There's a strange sort of pang in Sora's heart and he doesn't quite know why. If he was better at connecting things right off-the-bat he'd compare it to how he felt leaving Twilight Town as he knew it, but it'll take a little bit for the parallel to occur to him.

For now he wonders if he should point out how sad Roxas sounds, and again if he's reading into what he's hearing or not...he pauses. ]

Not bored. But it's fun to try new things. Maybe a little antsy.

What about you though? What kind of resolution d'you want to make?

[binarysky]

I guess...I'd resolve to make the most of the time I've got here. Except I'm already doing that.

[No matter how long he has. Whether he remembers it or not.]

[faroffdream]

Maybe...think of something that kind of...falls under the same category?

Like... hmm...is there something you'd like to do that you haven't done yet here?

[binarysky]

Well...I'd like to skateboard.

[He sounds almost shy about it.]
