“ You’ll figure out what you like to wear eventually.” Waves to the people coming in.
Rhys (PixelatedGlory)

Sela (Child/Keen)

Waves back. "Um. Hi."
Shara Ohsima

Rhys (PixelatedGlory)

Today at 9:11 PM
"hi. I'm Rhys. I... wasn't taught swimming before" their ears flatten some
Sela (Child/Keen)
BOT
Today at 9:11 PM
Floats over to the bulletin board. Looks back at Rhys. "I'm Sela."
Shara Ohsima
BOT
Today at 9:13 PM
"I see. Another difference. I assumed that all children were taught to swim, like back home."
Sela (Child/Keen)
BOT
Today at 9:13 PM
Pulls out a flyer from their chest, then starts sticking it up to the board.
Lucas Surcadre

“ It’s apparently a lot less common in places that are landlocked.”
Rhys (PixelatedGlory)

Today at 9:15 PM
"I lived in a city. My siblings didn't like to swim so they didn't teach me"
Sela (Child/Keen)
BOT
Today at 9:16 PM
Floats over to the group. "I like swimming. It's fun being a mermaid swimming with fishes."
Shara Ohsima
BOT
Today at 9:19 PM
"I meant no offense. I am not from this planet, and my home culture is very different from here."
Rhys (PixelatedGlory)
BOT
Today at 9:21 PM
"no, i'm not offended. I can learn to swim if it makes me more useful"
Sela (Child/Keen)
BOT
Today at 9:23 PM
"Do you want to be a lifeguard?"
Shara Ohsima
BOT
Today at 9:24 PM
nods. "I understand that. I am learning many things to be less of a burden to my father."
Lucas Surcadre
BOT
Today at 9:24 PM
Shakes head. “ You’re doing great, and it’s a useful skill, but you should only do it if that’s you want to Rhys.”
Rhys (PixelatedGlory)
BOT
Today at 9:27 PM
"i just want to be helpful."
Sela (Child/Keen)
BOT
Today at 9:27 PM
"Wanting to be helpful is doing what he wants."
Shara Ohsima
BOT
Today at 9:28 PM
"Useful is a subjective term. The skills that I was cultivated with are of little use here, as I am now. So I am learning new ones."
Lucas Surcadre
BOT
Today at 9:29 PM
“ There’s a lot of ways to be useful.” Nods then yawns.

Sela (Child/Keen)

Rhys (PixelatedGlory)

Sela (Child/Keen)
BOT
Today at 9:40 PM

Shara Ohsima
BOT
Today at 9:40 PM
"I was merely summarizing why my skill set is no longer useful now that I live here."
Lucas Surcadre
BOT
Today at 9:42 PM
“ It sure is illegal. “ Concerned expression. “ I’m sure there’s ways you can use what you’ve learn in different ways, same goes for you Rhys.”
Sela (Child/Keen)
BOT
Today at 9:42 PM
"I don't think my skills are useful for here either."
Shara Ohsima

blinks at Lucas
Lucas Surcadre

Today at 9:43 PM
“ I mean... I’m not sure on what exactly you learned. Maybe I’m making too many assumptions, my bad.”
Rhys (PixelatedGlory)

"new skills can always be learned"
Shara Ohsima
BOT
Today at 9:44 PM
"I am not supposed to be specific in the arts I was taught. It apparently makes people uncomfortable."
Sela (Child/Keen)
BOT
Today at 9:45 PM
Looks at Shara. "Me too... I thought it was okay because you brought yours up..."
Lucas Surcadre
BOT
Today at 9:45 PM
“ Oh.” Furrows brows a bit in concern.
Shara Ohsima
BOT
Today at 9:46 PM
shifts her eyes over to Sela. "I have not gone into specifics." Moves to throw away her water bottle, still making no sound.
Sela (Child/Keen)
BOT
Today at 9:48 PM
Nods slowly. Looks at Rhys. "What were you going to say before you cut yourself off?"
Rhys (PixelatedGlory)
BOT
Today at 9:49 PM
"never mind, it's not important"
Sela (Child/Keen)

Today at 9:50 PM
Frowns.
Tsepha (Boop)

Rhys (PixelatedGlory)

Today at 9:51 PM
flattens their ears a little again and looks over at the sudden appearance
looks back at Sela "sorry. I think I should go"
Sela (Child/Keen)
BOT
Today at 9:52 PM
"I'm not dangerous here," they tell Rhys, then looks over at Tsepha. "Hi."
Rhys (PixelatedGlory)
BOT
Today at 9:53 PM
"i was going to say we could dance or sing sometime maybe"
Sela (Child/Keen)
BOT
Today at 9:53 PM
"I'd like that. I joined the theater club to do that." Pause. "But if you don't want to do that with me anymore, I understand."
Shara Ohsima
BOT
Today at 9:55 PM
watches Tsepha for a ment and goes to sit down.
Tsepha (Boop)
BOT
Today at 9:55 PM
looks everyone over then belatedly says "hi"
Rhys (PixelatedGlory)
BOT
Today at 9:55 PM
opens their mouth. Closes their mouth. Clearly struggling with indecision. Finally just squeaks a little and heads out
Sela (Child/Keen)

Shara Ohsima
BOT
Today at 9:57 PM
... "I am told that being overwhelmed by change is normal."
Sela (Child/Keen)
BOT
Today at 9:57 PM
"It is. I'm not too sad about it."
Tsepha (Boop)
BOT
Today at 10:00 PM
"Yes. Change is.. strange."
Shara Ohsima
BOT
Today at 10:00 PM
"Sadness isn't productive."
Sela (Child/Keen)
BOT
Today at 10:01 PM
"Sadness can be productive for letting out negative emotions for positive and useful emotions to come in."
Tsepha (Boop)
BOT
Today at 10:03 PM
nods and looks over at Shara again. :|c
"Being sad does not really solve anything. Maybe if it makes you get rid of the thing that is making you sad.." shrugs
Sela (Child/Keen)
BOT
Today at 10:08 PM
"You can say that about any emotion. What matters is what you do with your emotions, not what you feel."
Tsepha (Boop)
BOT
Today at 10:10 PM
"I can see that. Feelings do not matter as long as you obey."
Sela (Child/Keen)
BOT
Today at 10:11 PM
"That's not what I said? But if that's how you want to take it, then fine."
Tsepha (Boop)
BOT
Today at 10:15 PM
tilts their head curiously. "Did you mean something different?"
Sela (Child/Keen)
BOT
Today at 10:19 PM
Takes a bit to respond. "Feelings matter, but in the case of productivity, what you do matters more. I never said anything about obeying."
Tsepha (Boop)
BOT
Today at 10:24 PM
"oh hmm."
"Obeying is doing something though. But I see."
Sela (Child/Keen)
BOT
Today at 10:30 PM

Tsepha (Boop)

Today at 10:36 PM
"oh.. I guess that makes sense. I do what I want when I have time, if I can."
"There's not usually so much time..."
"hmmm I need to go." Determined look and walks away into a shadow without another word.
