okay so lunatian holidays are pretty strange but if it's been about half a week since "firialia eve" then it's got to be getting close to the end of the year, right. i mean assuming that the holidays here are kind of analogous to the ones that i remember which i guess is just an assumption but it seems like it holds up.

it's kind of weird to be reliving the same two months over again. it was january when i got pulled here and now if i'm right it's about to be "january" again. i think i've been here about thirty days now too which just makes it even crazier. i know it's probably just coincidence but it's still one hell of a coincidence.

anyway.

we didn't do all the new year's traditions and stuff the first time i lived through these past couple weeks because we weren't home so we couldn't. but there's stuff that people do, right. like cleaning the house and ringing the bells and getting up to watch the sunrise and going to shrines and everything. i guess in the west people make a resolution to change for the better in the new year. everybody just thinks about it like a fresh start. leave behind the old and move forward into the new. have a long life.

people keep telling me i should quit smoking. seems like kind of a really minor thing to change but maybe i will, i don't know.

if you were going to change something about yourself in the new year what would you change?

you don't have to attach your name to it if you don't want to. i'm just wondering what kinds of things people have been thinking about lately. or maybe i'm the only one thinking about it, i don't know.

drinking less
maybe not at all

[starmark]

that seems pretty reasonable i guess
are you still gonna use wine to cook with though

or is that different

[teaserving]

oh yeah im still gonna do that
but definitely just
not get shitfaced with it

[starmark]

what made you decide to change that
i mean was it another person's opinion
or did you just decide enough was enough for yourself

You know, I never do resolutions.
Don't know. I'm critical of myself, but I guess the only thing I'd change is to try to relax a little more.
"Stop and smell the roses," so to speak.

And stop smoking.

[starmark]

i never really did either
my mom did but i think that's a habit left over from growing up in new york

yeah i agree you should really stop smoking
i hear it's bad for you

[torsion]

You going to make one then?
People usually go for big things, but I think small ones can be nice.
I'll make one if you do. :)

It is. It can cause lung cancer.
My partner does sometimes, but he's borderline quit since the 90s.
Get pissed when he does now, but sometimes you have to let yourself have a vice.

I wouldn't change a thing.

[ because rohan kishibe does nothing wrong ever ]

[starmark]

is that because there's nothing to change

or because fuck anybody who thinks they can tell you to

[penpoint]

If I desire to change I'm going to do it on my own, but I don't think there's anything to change.

So only change if you really want it, not because someone else wants you to.

Do people actually keep those resolutions?
In my tribe, we just wish to do better than the last turn of the year. Forcing yourself to do something you don't want to will just make you relapse.
It's better to be realistic.

[starmark]

i don't really know
i mean i guess the point would be don't make unrealistic resolutions, right

but i think if it's important
like really important
you can probably do it even if you don't really want to

[menphina]

Then you should resolve the moment you realise it, right?
Not just when the turn is over.
Do you think you'll be able to quit smoking now that you've thought about it?

don't think i've ever seen you smoke in the future, so you must've kicked the habit by then ... maybe that means you won't have to do shit and it's gonna sort itself out on its own

[starmark]

that's what jolyne says too
she doesn't remember me doing it either

hey
that reminds me
do you remember future me saying anything about a locket

[nipzips]

no? but the mr. jotaro i know ... he doesn't really talk much, unless it's about important stuff

i mean, he didn't even tell me he had a kid. i had to find out from jolyne herself [ In the worst possible way, which he's not getting into. ]

I know it's not the same

I'm not the be





I mean to say that it would probably be more fun if the others were still here, and not me, but if you like, we can celebrate whatever traditions you'd like to, together. And we can have some candles there, too. For them. For me, if you still think that's a thing you'd like to do. I don't mind.

But I'd like to celebrate a new year with you. And I'll make us mochi together, and soba. If you'd like! That probably sounds a little silly, haha!

[starmark]

are you stupid
what the hell avdol
why would you think i would have more fun with anyone else
don't be such an idiot

tell your boyfriend i'm borrowing you for one day
you and me for the new year

[nonehorse]

Alright, alright! Maybe I was thinking 'chaotic' instead of 'fun'...But we'll definitely make it worth remembering. I'm sure Leone won't mind having a break from me, either!

Any traditions you had in mind? I'll take care of the cooking, though if you have anything you want to add to the toshikoshi soba, let me know. We'll make up for the lost new year.

it seems like something on a lot of people's minds
makes sense I guess, being somewhere weird it's good to have goals to occupy ourselves with
I want to learn more about the weaponry here! there's so much I've never seen before...
and you probably should stop smoking
lots of spars going on, puts you at a disadvantage

[starmark]

i know how to fight and smoke at the same time
yare yare everybody's got an opinion about it huh

anyway
what kind of weaponry
like swords or ranged weapons or what

[tensasai]

just because you can doesn't mean you should
and if you didn't want to hear our opinions maybe you shouldn't have publicly posted about it!

but I already know about all of that
I want a gun
or something high tech! this place is way different than home

Herbs and narcotics slow the mind. Not minor. Quit smoking.

[starmark]

just because everybody's trying to tell me not to

yare yare

i'm still alive aren't i

[downswing]

Provisionally.
