Well...I honestly don't have much to say; though I think my arm is finally healed. Hope it stays like that even after I get back home.

Just to keep this somewhat interesting- what jobs or occupation (legal or otherwise) did everyone have back on their worlds?

I worked in the Goddess relief agency on the Goddess Technical Helpline back home.

[x_dilettante_x]

Goddess relief agency?

...I've heard of a lot of thing darling, but never that. What did you do exactly? Answer prayers and grant little miracles?

[musical_wings]

Basically.

We aid those who are unfortunate by granting them one wish. It brings a little happiness to earth and to those who deserve it.

[x_dilettante_x]

...I was being sarcastic but your serious? I'm surprised so many are in the wish business. Sounds rather lucrative.

What exactly makes a person deserving?

[musical_wings]

There are others who grant wishes?

Oh there are many things that can make a person deserving of a wish. Most of the time though, the wishes go to those who have truly kind hearts, and have gone through life doing their best to help others only to come upon much misfortune themselves.

[x_dilettante_x]

Only one person I've met- but there's plenty of tales about djinns and mermaids granting wishes.

...well, I suppose I'm out of the running. not to sound bitter but there is probably not many who qualify with those standards.

[musical_wings]

Ah yes, I love tales like that!

Why would you say you are unable? I'm sure that you have many wonderful qualities that would allow you to stay...uhh..."In the running"

You would be surprised! There are many people who are kind, and try to help others! People with noble souls who don't expect anything in return.

I've read many- they are entertaining in their own way.

I thank you for the compliment darling; but my intentions on doing good deeds are rarely noble.

That's a bit comforting.

[musical_wings]

Even if they are not noble, you must still have some wonderful quality that makes you unique. Oftentimes people cannot see the good within themselves.

Why? Are the people where you come from unkind?

[x_dilettante_x]

I can stand the idiots that frequent the bars back home. Not sure if that's a redeeming quality but it keeps me alive.

Not unkind as more interested in their own well being. Dog eat dog and all that.

[musical_wings]

It sounds like a sad place...

[x_dilettante_x]

It can be if you don't know how to make the most of things.
