Subject: An Observation???

okay so i've been here a while now and i've noticed something

i don't know the exact process of how the gods or people or whatever here pick people to help out

i don't know if it's completely random or an intricate process to determine who helps out but lately i've been leaning towards the latter for two reasons

one, i haven't met a single jerk or bully or even rude person here which is legit amazing and awesome BUT

SECOND

IS IT JUST MY IMAGINATION OR IS EVERYONE HERE LIKE INSANELY RIDICIOUSLY GOOD LOOKING

REALLY THO

ALL THE ADULTS COULD BE SUPER-MODELS AND ALL THE KIDS COULD BE LIKE THOSE ON HIGH SCHOOL DRAMAS ON TV

i mean this is doing wonders for my own self-confidence regarding my looks but FOR REAL I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE TO NOTICE THIS

PLEASE TELL ME SOMEONE ELSE HAS NOTICED THIS

I mean it's not a bad thing! You're included in that list too, right?

And the other part, I mean... I'm kinda different, so seeing if someone is like, I dunno, whatever actor is popular just isn't what I do. I probably wouldn't know if someone flirted with me either, they could be asking me for directions and I'd probably just find a trash can to throw myself into if I couldn't get over it being a person approaching me.

[...well, maybe not literally, but there'd definitely be some disconnect of "hey you're cute" and her not realizing it at all.]

[itsgunnabe_mei]

well it'd be really sad if i didn't! i know at least i'm a cutie patootie (and for the record, so are you)

if it helps someone here did flirt with me and my first instinct (after being frozen in place for a couple of seconds) was to run in the opposite direction. which is kinda why i made this entry. i dont wanna do that again. i want like an actual boyfriend someday!

[ of course she is leaving out the important detail of the REAL reason she ran away, but nobody needs to know about the panda this way ]

[mwehehe]

Aha thanks for the vote of confidence! I'm happy that you're adding yourself in that tally, I was gonna have to do a big ol' page saying otherwise if you said no!

I dunno, if someone confessed to me like in a sappy shoujo manga I'd probably do that... otherwise they're just being nice, you know? I don't think I've really given any thought to getting and having a boyfriend though, but I can try to be your wingman— wingwoman? eh, whatever— to get you one if you end up really liking someone here!

[itsgunnabe_mei]

aw, thanks! and right back at you! i'll be your own personal cheerleader for anything and everything you've got your heart set on!

[mwehehe]

Well that isn't much but maybe getting some sort of technology here! But hey, every little bit helps!

But uh.. normal girls talk about who they think is cute, huh? Does everyone fit that here?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

well yeah, it's what we talk about all the time back home with my besties! but hold on up - you think you can upgrade the low tech here?

[mwehehe]

[...huh! Well, maybe it'll be better than talking to the keklord that Ren introduced her to, talking about boys is... normal.... and while Futaba isn't exactly 'normal' she can sure try! But first—]

I've been trying for a while, yeah! I have my laptop here and it's been in the warzone of trying to figure out technology working here. If I can at least get it working with the power supplies of some of the weird crystals from here, I can probably try to upgrade some other stuff. There was an old café here that had some crystals that powered up some actual appliances, so that's a good start.

I dunno if we'd have a proper internet or something here, but dreamphones that doe the same as the journals? Maybe! That could be kinda cool, maybe charms could give it upgrades, hm...

[... no, Futaba, you're talking to someone normally here!]

Err, sorry, I'll have to note that down for later, but uh, yeah! I'm certainly trying! What kinda tech would you hope for though?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

you have a LAPTOP? dude, no way! and you're planning all that kind of stuff? you must be like a super big genius! i'd kill for any tech at all, really! it's been forever and a half since i've seen a cute cat on the internet! and texting all my bffs, that's a major miss too!

course it would help if my bffs were here, but still!!! it feels like we're stuck in the dark ages!

[mwehehe]

Yeah! I got it from one of those bauble thingies after I got here, figured it'd be the best way to get more techy stuff here. I'm pretty good with tech and I was really missing SOMETHING from home.

I dunno if I can bring back the whole internet, but cat pics or cat memes could probably be doable. maybe tapir memes?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

what's a tapir??? is it cuter than a cat? cause it's hard to imagine anything that's cuter than a cat.

[mwehehe]

You know, the little guys who get excited when we get here! [just gonna slap a dream sticker in here]



These guys! They'd make for really great memes like cats do I think. They had some plushies of 'em at that flower festival thingie too, I have one! I guess they're really popular here.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

oooooo!!! So THAT'S what those things are! i thought they were kinda like chubby anteaters or something

[mwehehe]

Yeah!! I mean, kinda? But dreams and folklore and stuff. But imagine sleepy memes about "I'm in ur dreams, eatin them" or something, just like those old cat memes on that hamburger website. Ooh, or maybe if you wanted to flirt with someone, you could use it! Like, "gonna be hopin they bring me to your dreams tonight ¬‿¬"

...though if anyone uses that on me, I'm gonna smack 'em with my journal. That's too corny.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

those are really funny!!! you are probably sooo good at making memes back home! are you like totally popular on the internet and everything?

[mwehehe]

Ahaha... well thanks! I'm not really popular, but I was a hacker! Had a fancy hacker name and everything that I was known by! I could probably make some silly memes for stickers in the journals for now, made add some kaomojis to things or something.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

whoooaaaa! You better stop being so awesome, Sakura! If you get any cooler, you'll be frozen solid!

[ she thinks she's funny. ]

[mwehehe]

[...you know, no, she is and Futaba won't stand for anyone telling her otherwise.]

Yeah, but being frozen solid would mean everyone is cool here! I'd just spread it around, you know?

...well, everyone would freeze like that, maybe I shouldn't do that.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

now this is getting confusing

but i stand by what I said! you are made out of 110% awesome sauce!

[mwehehe]

Hehe, well, thanks! (//ω//) You too. We gotta stick together, the cool rubs off that way. (人◕ω◕)

SPEAKING OF, maaaaybe we can hang out again? I don't think I'll be too weird, and it'll give me something to do beyond trying to get something techy happening.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

yes!!! absolutely!!! anytime anyplace anything, I wanna hang out with you!!!
