I was thinking of finding a bell and ringing it a bunch of times in honor of New Years... Back home, we'd be swamped the whole week. It was my favorite time of year, even so. 'Course, that's pretty understandable.

[ Pause, and he chuckles. ] Wow, I haven't gotten nostalgic in a while. Okay, so! Everyone, tell me your goals for the new year! It's

Why would you be swamped for the New Years, Sorata? [...] What are we making goals for?

[shockinglycool]

Because at a temple, the New Year is pretty much the busiest holiday of the year.

Goals... like resolutions? It's a new year, so let's do our best! Like that!

[dreamermoa]

Oh, thats right! What did you guys do? Other than ring bells.

Oh...that sounds good! "Do our best"!

[shockinglycool]

Dealt with tourists!

That's a great one!

[in_texas]

You mean besides getting out of this place?

[shockinglycool]

If you can think of any.

[in_texas]

I'm sure there are plenty of resolutions I should be making. Actually, I know there are, Pardner. But I just can't bring myself to do it. You know what I mean?

[shockinglycool]

... Nope.

[notrussias]

I haven't really thought of any...

Besides hoping that a few certain nations get off my back... As always.

Can anyone even achieve their goals while stuck in this place?

[shockinglycool]

Nations?

Of course they can! It's a matter of will, that's all!

[notrussias]

Yeah... Um, Russia and um, Denmark. Though he's just annoying...

I suppose they have to set small goals, then...?

[shockinglycool]

Those nation people are great! So funny!

Big or small, as long as they put their minds to 'em.

[prodigal_axe]

'3' huh? Guess it is... [Someone's distracted.]

Wait a minute, why do you even care about other people's 'goals?'

[shockinglycool]

Three, or something. You okay?

Why wouldn't I? I'm a nice guy!

[prodigal_axe]

I'm... just dealing with something. I'll be fine.

So 'nice' means you need to know what they're gonna be doing?

[shockinglycool]

What is it?

... No, it means I wanna talk with people about a nice subject.

Year of the tiger?

My goal is pretty simple- don't get eaten.

[shockinglycool]

Japanese- well, Chinese, too- thing. There's a zodiac of animals, for each year.

Good goal!

[x_dilettante_x]

Sort of like all that tarot rot about Zodiac signs and such?

I thought it was rather prudent. What about you Sora?

[shockinglycool]

Kinda. People born under signs have different traits, but I don't really know them all. I'm year of the dog.

"Keep the animals alive and safe," I think.
