It looks like optimism has found a way to inject itself into the city again.

...Well. It's not like that's a bad thing.

[bluecorp_ceo]

Optimism? Do you often find it lacking here?

[lunchpenalty]

Not necessarily lacking. This city runs on a cycle of optimism and pessimism. Apparently it's optimism's turn.

[bluecorp_ceo]

How splendiferous! I've only just arrived-- to hear things are getting better for my arrival is to be expecterated!

[lunchpenalty]

Well, if you want to look at it that way....

...Splendiferous?

[sukimahag]

Optimism is neccesary for pessimism to exist. Hardship can only hold it back for so long.

[lunchpenalty]

You think so?

[sukimahag]

Of course. It's the very nature of that boundary.

[lunchpenalty]

...Boundary?

[birdrunner]

Did they sterilise it first?

[lunchpenalty]

[...]

I'm not sure optimism is something you can sterilize.

[birdrunner]

That's unhygienic!

[lunchpenalty]

But... optimism is an abstract concept. You can't sterilize it.

[moarcowbell]

Hope they washed their hands first.

[lunchpenalty]

[...]

Don't take it so literally, Haru.

[moarcowbell]

Oh? My apologies.

[lunchpenalty]

You don't need to apologize for that.

[flynmabisn]

It's nice to see the people in the city happy again.

[lunchpenalty]

It is, isn't it?

[flynmabisn]

Maybe we'll get lucky, and it will start warming up soon! I'm sure everyone would feel better if that happened too.

[lunchpenalty]

Well, it can't stay cold forever.
