What do you think human nature is closer to? That of gods, angels, or demons?

[ It's been something that's been bothering him for some time. He knows the answer he had given, but it'd seemed like it was... incorrect, at the time. ]

Define "human" as whatever your worlds closest equivalent is, if you need to.

Pray do not devalue your own work. The words you use to write about your day are yours and yours only. That simple fact alone makes them invaluable.

And I appreciate your offer. Truly. However, I could not ask you to undertake such a task without some sort of remittance.

You're right. They're my memories so they're precious to me. I guess just compared to what you've done, it didn't seem as impressive.

How about sharing notes instead? I do that sometimes with my friends Yama and Ami back home.

A piece of advice that has helped me is to avoid comparing my skillset to others'. Comparing yourself today to yourself of yesteryears is a far fairer, and accurate, way to judge your skills.

And I think that's a brilliant idea. I'm happy to read any words you feel comfortable sharing.

That does sound more fair, but it's difficult not to compare yourself to others' sometimes. Especially when there's such a gap in abilities. I don't think it's a bad thing.

[ had this been in person, joshua would see the sheepish smile on her face. ]

Everyone has things they're good at and things they're bad at.

Let's see. Most of it is observations of the strange periodical patterns of Songerein. As we reach the middle of the month, there's usually some big event that happens and something we have to do to solve it.

I wonder if there isn't some other reason we're here. Something we have to do but nobody knows what that is yet.

I agree that it can be difficult. However, as long as you maintain your perspective, then I can also agree that it isn't necessarily a bad thing, as you've said.

As for your notes, I see merit in your pursuit, and I think there is much that can be discussed. Should be discussed, really.

Mayhap we should consider a time and place to meet in-person?

I try my best to keep my feet on the ground.

[ !!! it's like a study session. man, she missed having these with yukine. ]

Really? Sure! Yeah! When is a good time for you? I go for a run in the mornings, but after that I'm free.

I spend much of my time in the Archives. That is as good a place as any for us to compare notes.

I plan on going tomorrow afternoon, if that is convenient for you. I understand if it is too short of notice or if you have a different location in mind.

[ a public place. good.

but the name joshua sounds so familiar. where did she hear it? hrrrrmmmmmmm-- ]

That sounds great! I'll see you then.

Oh yeah. I know the journals already have the names of senders, but I'm Hiyori Iki. I'll be wearing a pink scarf.

[Maybe the local War/Fortune god has some answers 🤔]

My name is Joshua Rosfield. It is a pleasure, Hiyori.

I look forward to meeting.

[ hiyori is currently limiting her War/Fortunekami time for Reasons(tm) ]

Likewise! ( •̀ ω •́ )✧
