Ah, hello, everyone! And welcome, those of you who are new.

[Marina's broadcasting in her apartment, perched on a stool with an electric guitar on her lap. It looks well-loved, and it's covered in stickers, some that must have been there for a decade.]

It looks like these dragons are making a lot of us more musically-inclined, aren't they? Well, among other things that are taking priority, of course, but... Ufufu. That aside, how are you all finding it? It's certainly made the city more lively.

[She laughs to herself and starts idly strumming the guitar.]

I suppose it's important for the dragons to find one another with song, but we're all here together already, and yet the changes still want us to connect with music. Do you think that means something important? Maybe I'm just thinking about it all too much.

I mean, that too, but also since my clothes are often formed via shapeshifting, it's kind of like, every time I dress normally, I just go with the same thing. Making myself go different is an active choice, usually because of something like an event.

... Doesn't help that I do still like the outfit even though I should have much stronger negative associations with it...

It sounds like you've been through a lot, Pidonus-san. But no one can decide what you like or dislike except for you, I think.

[have_hat_will_travel]

You're right. But I do still end up in a rut a lot of the time, andgetting out of that is an important goal of mine!

[isntitsad]

It's good that you're taking advantage of this, then! In a way that isn't stressing you out, at least.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Make the best of the hand you're dealt, right?

Though I suspect you're glad to not have any of that going down?

[isntitsad]

Only a little! I don't want to tempt fate when something worse comes around...

[have_hat_will_travel]

Eh. Wouldn't worry about that too much? But maybe that's just me.

[isntitsad]

You don't believe in tempting fate or running out of luck, then, huh?

[have_hat_will_travel]

It's more like if I let myself think in such terms too much I have to decide I'm just fundamentally cursed, and it's a lot better if I don't get stuck in that rut.

[isntitsad]

It sounds like you've had a lot to deal with.

[have_hat_will_travel]

That'd be a very accurate description, yes. This place is the most stable I've ever had.
