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.

[ a bit of silence, then... ]

I don't really have one. I figure I'd plan as I go. [ not the best of plans, but it was something. ]

[afoxbyanyothername]

I know someone else who will probably make a similar resolution.

[astraphobe]

Yeah? You think he'd wanna go at it!?

[afoxbyanyothername]

Probably. He likes fighting.

I-I want to save up coins and buy Jackie a wedding ring

[ourlittlenordicangel]

[ourlittlenordicangel]

I will be your friend, ja? [ He is everyone's friend. ]

[ourlittlenordicangel]

O... oh... you should try swabbing...

[fallenone]

I should? And what am I swabbing?

[ourlittlenordicangel]

T... the floor? My wife loffs it. [ Shockingly, he is now married. The most shocking happening of all time. ]

[fallenone]

Ah, yes. Swabbing the deck then, you are a pirate. Oh, you are married?

[ourlittlenordicangel]

J-ja! My wife- Jackie- she bought me. [ He is still in shock about it. ]

I also- she put me in bath and made me put on nicer clothes.

[dealerofsecrets]

[ Finnick nods; that was his point. Her aim should be to work while afraid rather than to hope to eliminate fear.

Still, she's pretty small, and rabbit-like eyes aren't new to him. ]

What's your plan?

[fallenone]

I noticed the new appearance. Although buying people should be frowned upon, your wife should be congratulated for managing to get you into a bath. However, congratulations to you both on your wedding.

[ourlittlenordicangel]

Baths is not scary with Jackie, she cuddles me the whole time, when I am afraid. [ He's so happy! She is this very scary female pirate who just murders and poisons people all day but she's very kind to him, he's like her pet, she dresses him up, cuddles him. ]

O... oooh... no, it is good to buy a Swede. It is okej to buy it?

[mommacat]

Isn't that a little too hard?

I know! [ Fai hits his fist against his palm as if he's come up with a perfect idea. ] You can practice on me!

[wanderment]

What kind of pranks are you doing already?

[wanderment]

And they should appreciate you for it.

[ no! boring! adventures! ]

[fallenone]

You sound very happy with her and that is what matters.

[ourlittlenordicangel]

O-oh ja... I never thought anyone would ever loff me... [ He tears up a little, smiling. ]

I think my problem was... I never talking to a lady before? [ He always thought he needed a husband... but... ]

[evilkoala]

Meega switched hair conditioner to chocolate syrup! Signed up Dr. Hamsterwheel to annoying magazine subscriptions for cheese! Put googly eyes on Mrs. Hasegawa's fruits!

[He claps his paws, cackling in delight.]

[spaghettification]

Then perhaps this year, you should resolve to keep something or someone alive. A houseplant, if nothing else.

[pale_elf]

They better appreciate my efforts to keep things not boring.

[He grins in the woman's direction]

People always ask "can I?". Sometimes "Should I?" Never the important questions like "how much explosive do I need to wipe out the goblin camp with minimal effort and max chaos?"

[springgirl]

Then don't let anyone discourage you from it, or listen to anyone who might tell you that it's pointless. People are always growing and changing.

If... you don't mind me asking, I think there was something about a curse? You don't have to talk about it. [A beat, and then more honestly:] I'm just overly curious sometimes.

Stop trying to run away from the inescapable loneliness of immortality.

[extendash]

Tch.

[wanderment]

And what's the answer, for curiosity's sake?
