[A small child kneels before an empty crushed red envelope. Before speaking, she suddenly stands and turns to face you]

Welcome the new year. What is your goal?

[Kaito blinks at the girl. Why he even met her on the first place?]

Living peacefully with my new family?

[crushbutterfly]

Is that a wish or a goal?

[totally_blue]

What if I said it's both?

[crushbutterfly]

Then it won't make sense. One you hope for, one you make come true.

[cnstructionzone]

[staring at the red envelope] Was there money in that thing?

[crushbutterfly]

Mere worthless paper.

Goals can be worth much more.

[cnstructionzone]

Eh, I'm not much of a goals person. Winging things is way more fun.

[crushbutterfly]

Why 'wing' it when you can easily get everything you need with mere... words?

Or rather the sound of your voice?

[...]

[crushbutterfly]

...Yes?

[idkmybffpingas]

[...Crushed envelope's faintly suspicious.]

...Nothin'. Why ya wanna know m'goal? [but then he shrugs his shoulders and speaks again, rather than giving her a chance to answer.] 'Cuz I can't say I got one. The new year'll bring what the new year'll bring.

[crushbutterfly]

It is typical to both come up with a goal and to announce it to the world when the new year arrives.

Goal...?

[crushbutterfly]

Something you wish to achieve this year.

Perhaps something I can assist you with.

[Innocent Momo is innocent, and suspects nothing. Very sweet of this girl to offer to help a complete stranger! A simple, sweet headshake follows.]

Thank you, but there's nothing I need assistance with. I simply wish to make the people around me happy, and be there for the ones I love. If I can do that, I will be happy myself.

But it's very kind of you to offer.

[crushbutterfly]

I too wish to make people here happy. Unfortunately, most seem to be frightened by the concept.

[icepopstar]

I want to try a new ice-cream and take a warm bath.

Not necessarily at the same time.

[sob, he's an idiot. also sorry for the edit; I didn't want the subject line in the text and I forgot about it.]

[crushbutterfly]

It's hardly a 'goal' if you can achieve it so easily.

((OOC: NP NP! It's not like I didn't have a million brain-farts in this post sob))

[icepopstar]

But it's good to have some easy goals. It encourages you to make more goals.

[crushbutterfly]

[frowns]

Too easy and the process loses its meaning.
