Lots of people seem a touch down lately. So, everyone! I have a simple game that might cheer us all up, or at least make Iris cycle go by faster for me while I read everyone's replies!

You have to post your type! Physical preferences, personality traits you really like, your dream partner! Go on and list it, and people can say if they know someone like that, perhaps tease you for your preferences, that sort of thing. You can post anonymously here too, if you're shy! Just have fun!

Also, here is a funny picture I found. Enjoy!

This is actually quite sweet and I enjoyed reading the other replies as well!
It is certainly a livelier and more pleasant Iris afternoon for it, thank you.

I don't know that I could ever specify physical preferences, really. I'm only glad if someone is healthy, but it isn't a requirement either, because I would try my best to help if they weren't.

But I think that being kind and intelligent help me to connect with someone on a deeper level. When they're empathetic and don't overreact to things too quickly instead of taking the time to think things through. It seems to be a trend that we all want someone "kind" and "loyal" and "caring".

Someone who understands the sort of life I lead and won't try to make me give up my career in favor of a relationship and steady, settled-down life. Not that they would have to accompany me, either. It is often quite dangerous and I'm sure we'd worry nonstop regardless.

Truly, though, everyone deserves to find someone who can find the best in them.
Or perhaps someone who can show them what the best parts of them look like if they don't know it yet themselves.
And be able to take care of one another and help heal whatever wounds life has left them with.
I hope your post results in some meaningful connections. 💗

Oh! I found a picture for you in return.png 😚

You know, you phrased some of that in general and not about yourself.

But I think we have similar tastes. At least in values/lifestyle. It's always nice to be friends with someone who enjoys their job and isn't counting down the days to retirement, especially when it's "difficult".

The part about finding what's best in each other and healing wounds, though... that's a nice thought, isn't it? A real "my other half"? :)

I did, because it seems other people are reading it.
It may have been a nice reminder for some.

I'm not surprised to hear we have about the same expectation in values!
You strike me as a level-headed lady who knows she does good in the world.
But I agree it's wonderful to have people that enjoy what they do around.

"My other half" is one way to look at it, yes, but even just as casual partners or friends, I think it's an important aspect to have.
The world isn't so kind we're given praise or have attention brought to what makes us special or attractive to others.
It never hurts to try and be the change we want to see, right?

You remind me a little of a coworker from back home, in that I'm pretty sure part of the reason she hasn't shown any interest in romance is because she doesn't want to be pressured to retire and settle down.

Just try not to overwork yourself. I hate seeing a confident woman's face wrinkled from stress.

I don't see that there is too terribly much wrong with that, especially when one's career benefits the world as a whole.
If I were to put down my scalpel, there would be hundreds, thousands of people untreated and without necessary organ or limb transplants I would have otherwise done.
So I'm quite dedicated in the end, but never turn down travel partners for company.

It's impossible to overwork myself while I'm here though, honest. Thank you for the concern for my face and its wrinkles. The nanomachines help a fair bit with that. ♥

And what was your coworker like, aside from shunning romantic ties?

It wasn't a criticism, I've always admired her dedication to her career.

Sae-san is a prosecutor, who went into the profession out of a strong sense of justice. She's strong willed and dedicated, not at all the sort to back down because something is difficult or people are pressuring her. She's also something of a perfectionist, she'll never settle for 'good enough' when something could be better, or pass off responsibilities because they're not what she wants to focus on.

Despite that, though, she can be quite compassionate. Her dream was to make Tokyo a better place, by making sure dangerous criminals are convicted and imprisoned. Unfortunately, she has...changed, recently. She's become consumed by her work, and started to care more about victory in court than punishing the right person. I've been told she's come to her senses since the last time I talked to her, though.

Oh, she also practices kickboxing. I've seen her knock a purse snatcher flat with a single kick before.

I didn't take it as such, so please don't worry.
She sounds like a wonderful person you'd be honored to have on your side, if needs arose.

Would you perhaps be the 15 year old prodigy detective that responded to my clinic post before?
I do recall someone with a penchant for justice and a very interesting conversation.
I'm glad to hear that she was able to correct her path, if she strayed.

I can't say for sure if I could knock someone flat with a single kick, but I could take down most people I would run into, I'd say.
It's all about utilizing their momentum against them.

That's me, though I'm 18 now.

I haven't seen for myself yet, since we had something of a falling out over her recent behavior, but I'm hoping the people who have told me about how she's doing were right.

That's more my unarmed fighting style, too. I prefer a sword or a gun if I have to fight, but sometimes a detective has to handle a rowdy suspect without drawing the sort of attention a gunshot would. I'm a little on the thin side, though, so I can't exactly rely on throwing my weight around.

Yes, I believe you'd mentioned, but I never did catch your name, so I only had so much to latch onto, you see.

I hope they were right as well; she sounds as though she'd been an excellent role model for you to look up to and that she's had a great impact on your goals.

Did you study Aikido, by chance? There was a bit mixed in with the military's CQC that I had to learn when I joined a paramilitary organization— it was geared toward peacekeeping after a world war of sorts. Redirection and the ability to disarm someone is often more than plenty regardless of your size.

It's actually a form of martial arts developed specifically for law enforcement, called Taiho-Jutsu. It does have some strong similarities to Aikido and Judo, though, since it's also focused around disarming and subduing an opponent without causing serious injury.

Ahhh that's right, I've heard of that. You're quite dedicated to what you do!
That's a lovely passion to see.

It is quite personal to me, so it would be an insult to myself to not be dedicated to it.

I'm glad to hear that you've found something so important to you and have applied yourself to be able to go into the field for it.
I'm sure you're a wonderful detective; it sounds like you value it dearly and will always do what's best.

I'm glad it could help you pass the time! I'm really learning a lot about the people here; it's fascinating, and I'm really glad I had this idea, to be honest!

These all seem like very important preferences, though; I especially relate to the part about your career, since my family doesn't exactly approve of my own. But everyone secretly wants to be able to be themselves around someone and be loved for it, so I guess we all hit similar points on that front...

I wish everyone luck! Including yourself!

And thank you for such a wonderful picture!!! I love that hens have such a strong maternal instinct, it warms my heart. This isn't as good, but it's still pretty good, I think.

It is quite fascinating, isn't it? That we could all hold the same sorts of values and similar interests despite being from such wildly different places and times.
I think that has always been my favorite part of traveling the world, as well. Seeing where cultures overlap.

May I ask what it is that you do? I'm sorry to hear your family's not supported you in it; if it's something you're passionate about and something that affects others positively, I hope you stick with it and don't let others deter you.

I'll wish you luck as well and thank you again for the good company! And you're most welcome. Any sort of animal mother is often quite warm-hearted and they take in others, but I find birds are often the best at it. They adopt others so easily! They're so cute.

In fact... On that topic.

Indeed! Though I think a lot of us seem to come from variants of Earth...But there are still enough changes that the cultural similarities are interesting all the same! And even here...Caihong is my favourite part of the city, because I was always so fond of travelling to China.

I'm actually a fortune teller! Tarot primarily, though I can branch out into palmistry on request. People tend to think I'm a bit of a scam artist when I say that, but...It's just a tool, not a guarantee of the future or anything. Thank you for your support all the same, though; I truly love it, and I'm even hoping to open a shop some time soon!

Aha, I see you're an animal picture aficionado too then? It's hard to not appreciate natural maternal instinct though; maybe I'm getting softer the closer I get to 30, but I'm a complete sucker for it all the same. (Though the picture isn't actually natural maternal instinct so much as just funny, but the point remains.)

It certainly seems to be the case, yes. But I've always been interested in other cultures as-is. Caihong is quite wonderful! I haven't often had the chance to travel to China myself, but the two times I did, I enjoyed it very much. I was mostly focused in Europe and the Middle East, occasionally making my way through the more rural parts of Africa and South America as aid relief.

Oh, fortunes! I've always been fascinated with the concept; you're right that it's a tool, of course, and I've always figured it was more reassurance and a bit of insight to the path ahead, wouldn't you say? I think that could be wonderful depending on where a person is in life or what blocks they may be facing. Support is support. I'll have to stop in and see what you may have to glean from me.

( Ever the positive ray of sunshine, this one. She supposes there could be people who operate such a profession as a scam, such as promising to divine secrets from the dead or other such silly things, but she's never seen anything wrong with the vaguer sort. It seemed more honest. Even she could spend time speaking with someone and get a bead on what was troubling them and offer a bit of advice, but sometimes that wasn't a welcome avenue. )

I've never been able to justify owning a pet with the amount of travel I do and to such dangerous places, but yes, I enjoy photos at the very least. Chickens in particular are endlessly endearing in how openly they love.

I can only say that the softening won't ease up after 30, either. 😉 As much as I hate to be the bearer of "bad" news.

But what beautiful feathers she has!

I do believe we're on the same page in several matters.

And which matters might those be?

I don't think I could ever accept someone who would expect me to settle into a quieter life, and, all the same, I couldn't expect such a thing from them in return.

Perhaps not what everyone wants to hear, but I'm drawn to a certain level of conviction.

Mm, I agree; my work is very important to me, seeing as it betters the lives of others. I feel as though putting down a scalpel and giving that up would be depriving people I could have saved for more selfish reasons.

My own abilities will likely fade in time, and I can retire to something less hands-on away from the frontlines.

Conviction, though; that can go many ways. Generally-speaking with a more positive turn on it, I would agree. Conviction is an important trait as well.

I would agree there, but I've never been known for the most sound of judgments when it comes to matters of the heart.
