I don't think I ever got around to introducing myself properly. I'm Jacob Black. I'm sixteen. My hobbies include walking, hiking, jogging, and just about anything else that can be done to occupy time here. To the newbies, welcome to Luceti. To the oldies I haven't met yet, howdy.

It didn't rain a lot on the islands, but Seth used to talk about how much it rained in La Push. Was it more than this though?

[Voice]

[sortabeautiful]

Hey, Kairi. [Long time no chat. Totally his fault. Avoiding people is tough work.]

It rained almost every day of the year, except in snow season. On the good days, it was just cloudy.

[Voice]

[meteorical]

Hey to you, too. [It's cool bro, she's had to deal with key-wielding boyfriends and insane redheads so it all works out.]

Doesn't that get kind of depressing though without the sun?

[Voice]

[sortabeautiful]

How you been? [Owch. He's just been avoiding Bella and Edward and their love vibe... and Rose and Emmett, because that's just too awkward.]

Sort of. But we find ways to cope. Rainy days were great for perfecting my mechanic skills.

[Voice]

[meteorical]

Better, but let's not get into it. Holding up okay? [Poor Jacob and the series that infinitely screwed him over a little.]

Well in that case it's not so ba-...mechanic skills? Like cars and stuff?

[Voice]

[sortabeautiful]

I've been just fine. Been getting in touch with my inner wild child. [And by that he means that he's been enjoying time as a wolf. Because thinking is so much easier when you're running at breakneck speeds.]

Cars, motorcycles, modding the occasional game system - you name it, I've done it.

[Voice]

[meteorical]

[She can guess as much, considering how much time Seth spent as a wolf.] Might explain why I haven't really seen you in a while.

Somehow that doesn't surprise me, but humor me anyway. How long have you been doing that?

[Voice]

[sortabeautiful]

Yeah. That, and I've been laying low for a bit.

Let's see. [A thoughtful hum.] Since I was a kid. I always had a knack for fixing things.

[Voice]

[meteorical]

Dare I ask why?

You have a knack for fixing things, my friends have a knack for building things. Must just be a guy thing. [Not really, but she'll entertain the thought anyway.]

[Voice]

[sortabeautiful]

[Oh, wincing.] Valentines day thing.

Guys are good with the hands on stuff. It's totally instinctive. My sisters took all the booksmarts, so that must be a girl thing.

[Voice]

[meteorical]

Ah...yeah, that could be a problem. I'll do you a favor and spare you the pain of telling me the details.

I guess that makes sense. Sora and Riku used to spend a lot of time making toy swords and our rafts back home. As for booksmarts being a girl thing? Yeah, pretty sure that's about right.

[Voice]

[sortabeautiful]

Thank you. I'm perfectly content with pretending it never happened.

We menfolk just can't think unless it involves motors or action.

[Voice]

[meteorical]

I think most people are. I think I just got lucky in that one.

Such a tragedy, isn't it? You have my deepest sympathies.

[Voice]

[sortabeautiful]

Did that guy looking for a present for you get a nice one?

It's just my burden. Of course, it also gives me the ability to think on my feet. Big plus right there.

[Voice]

[meteorical]

Sora? Yeah, he did. ...wait, how did you know he was getting me something?

At least there's that to make life easier.

[Voice]

[sortabeautiful]

He made a post asking for some ideas. He really wanted to get you a nice one.

Oh, and don't forget our vastly superior strength.
