A new year and a fresh start

[stockingfeats]

Yes, it's that time of year, time to set yourself to a strict regimen of self-improvement and wild optimism about your own sense of discipline. Whether it's a plan to eat 5 fresh fruits and vegetables a day, to be more emotionally honest, or to stop letting that demon in your head use your body to go on murderous rampages, declare it before one and all.

[Siebren lets out a strangled sound that absolutely isn’t a laugh, but might have been one in another universe.]

Every single day.

[desertpowered]

If you need practice with your powers…

I have powers of my own. I could help you, if you like.

[mommacat]

That's a good one! What's your plan?

[flirtyfox]

It's not easy to admit you haven't been.

[ Sui can only take the Beast's word for his personality. ]

When you're breaking old habits, it helps to form new ones.

[dealerofsecrets]

Not being afraid can be a pretty tough one. I don't know if there's anybody who's not afraid sometimes.

To beat up as many people as possible!

[astraphobe]

[madcuriosity]

I can help in regards to sharing food, Stitch! Though, I would be quite curious to see you made even bigger and even more cuddleable!

Finish one war before signin' up for another

[ladderlaced]

Who'm I kidding, not a chance I'm walkin' away from a fight.

[learningtolove]

Ah. A sort of "not looking for trouble but trouble finds me anyway" sort of situation?

[learningtolove]

It took two for me to finally start getting better. But I think I'm finally on the right path this time.

[learningtolove]

No. It wasn't easy at all. But this time I think the changes I'm making will stick.

Do you have any suggestions for what kind of habits?

[survivalthroughhate]

Oh, I'll be fine. Nothing has killed me yet. [He sounded quite certain and confident in that matter. Then he looked a little sad.] I just seem to have everyone around me die in my stead.

[flirtyfox]

I don't know your current habits, but I can try.

Impatience can make us angry and rude. Learning to slow down and appreciate each moment makes it easier to be patient.

It also helps to remember that other people exist even when you're not around them. If you can learn that, compassion comes easier. I could judge you for not being kind and compassionate enough, but I don't know how mean you really are, or why you feel like you need to change. Those are things I think about when I'm forgiving myself for mistakes so why shouldn't I do the same for you?

[foxphorus]

Tread carefully, there.

Manage a relationship that lasts at least a month. Also, don't waste time on boring people.

[trashjazz]

Don't lose any more students, keep the neuroscientists alive, and see as much of the world as I can

[inside_job]

...while it lasts.

Figure out what to do with life.

[dancecompany]

[sisterimperator]

Don't tell me you've grown soft.

Hover the Tantalog for translation!

[evilkoala]

Ih! [Stitch nods his head empathically.] Emba-chua!

Stitch not being destructive. [a beat] On purpose.

[Beast, you are meeting a very chaotic blue koala dog thing.]

[evilkoala]

Takka, Alice! [He grins, appreciative.] Ehehe, Stitch really like Coconut cake.

[So much so that he can eat an entire 18 inch cake in one sitting, in one bite.]

[thedevilsaid]

I think collecting so many strays is changing me.

[prayercloset]

Maybe. I don't want to hurt you, 's'all.

[ Still, he gets a second, expectant glance. ]

...you never told me you had powers, too.

[prayercloset]

Some people never show it. [ Given those expressive, rabbit eyes of hers, it's safe to say she's not counted in that company. ] That would have to be better than nothin'.

[sisterimperator]

Hm.

[ Sister Imperator was silent for a moment. ]

I suppose it would do that, in its own way.

[desertpowered]

I do. Not exactly the same as yours, but there are similarities.

[Paul gives her a firm nod in response.]

I had to learn how to control them, too.
