[There's a couple minutes of not-quite silence as the entry opens, almost like it was turned on by accident. There's muffled voices that sound like they're in a room next to the journal--one of them might be risingwinds's, but it's difficult to hear

Reading. Chess. Housecleaning. Perhaps cooking; do you have any cook books to try new recipes from? It's a good opportunity to try a new hobby.

[Voice]

[vanityunbcoming]

...

[Is this girl for real.]

You could use some work on your listening skills.

[Voice]

[no_use_running]

[Oh, she has good listening skills. She finishes up, and hopefully keeps the amusement from her voice.]

Those are all still possible. There are braille books here; learning it would be a good mental exercise as well. You could also have someone read to you. Chess pieces are distinguishable by touch as well. And someone could guide you with the cooking.

[In short? 'Use this time to learn to cooperate with those around you'.]

[Voice]

[vanityunbcoming]

[None of those are particularly appealing to him, still. Though he guesses he could make someone read to him.]

Hnh. Any suggestions that're more... independant?

[voice]

[automoblephilia]

Why don't you just sleep? [ Hey he did it just fine for an entire century. ]

[voice]

[vanityunbcoming]

Tried that. It's gotten old.

[voice]

[automoblephilia]

Maybe your dreams are just really boring. Try eating spicy foods before sleeping. Hear it does wonders.

[voice]

[vanityunbcoming]

That's still not the issue. Got any other suggestions besides that?

[refinedmaestro]

You could learn to be more humble and perhaps reflect on what you've done.

[ voice | filtered ]

[vanityunbcoming]

[Hah. He was waiting for a response like this.]

I've been reflecting on it, every day. But you can only replay the 'good old days' so many times before that gets stale, too.

[ voice | filtered ]

[refinedmaestro]

The good old days, hmm? What you consider the good old days were not to the others you harmed.

[ voice | filtered ]

[vanityunbcoming]

Like I care. That's the way the world works, isn't it? The good always being trampled down by the bad.

[risingwinds]

I still think music would help. It's fun to listen to, and you can play it in the background while you do other things.

voice

[vanityunbcoming]

[Considering the only songs avilable in their world are Disney...]

Still not interested.

voice

[risingwinds]

How come?

voice

[vanityunbcoming]

You really think I enjoy the songs you whistle all the time, anyway?

[arcanaxxii]

I find listening to music helps a lot when I'm bored.

[There's a slight hum on her end, as she tries to think of more ideas on the top of her head.]

... That's all that I can think of at this moment, but... [another pause.] If you'd like me to recommend some tracks, I wouldn't mind doing so.

[Minako's answer sounds rather idle. It's clear she didn't think twice to check who she was talking to.]

voice;

[vanityunbcoming]

[And luckily for her, Vanitas can't identify her by her voice. But his answer's still short.]

Tracks?

voice;

[arcanaxxii]

When you have a CD, a single song or piece of music from it is called a track. Since Luceti doesn't have internet or anything, you kind of have to make do with those.

[a pause, as there's sounds of movement on her end. In less than a minute, Vanitas should start to hear music playing in her background.]

I mostly listen to pop, but I have a couple other genres if you'd like to listen to them too. [she adds thoughtfully, as she shuffles around for other CDs lying about her room.]

voice;

[vanityunbcoming]

[There's a lot of words in there he doesn't quite understand, but when the music comes over the journal he's a little surprised. It's... different, at least.]

CDs, huh. How do you use them?
