... Everyone's? [ they sound hopeful, but like they are aware that's impossible. ] But if you don't enjoy an activity, you're free to sit out. We won't force you to participate.
They likely will, if left to their own devices... [ Dread is back, but mildly and comically. It's like dreading subbing for a teacher for kindergarten. ] Though I don't know where they'll get supplies and resources if they need them.
[ frowny. WELL, maybe he'll grow as a person from here on out! ]
But is it bad to acknowledge the things that you want? Or even the things that you used to want? Your youth was still a part of you, and the things that you hope for still matter. Even if you can't have them.

... I'm not so much of an uncultured dead fish. I'm sure there will be an event that catches my interest.
no subject
With any luck, all of them will. But we'll see. And if our events aren't to your liking, everyone is free to organize their own, too.
no subject
Unless you three are willing to provide?
no subject
[ they hum. ]
We're taking note of the requests that we get. But I would hope that people can make do with what they have for a little while longer.
no subject
What would people be requesting already? We have shelter, clothes, food, and enrichment...
no subject
You're content with what you have?
no subject
What I want isn't tangible or easily attainable to begin with, so yes. What we have right now is enough.
no subject
[ but there's medicine and band-aids in the convenience store, so it's probably fine. anyway: ]
What is it that you want?
no subject
[ almost! So he has both hands.
His eyebrows knit, thinking. It's very complicated. ]
It's a naive wish, unfitting for someone my age and stature.
no subject
Who did that? [ HELP? ]
Why do your wishes have to fit your age and stature? What makes it naive?
no subject
[ even if self-defense, it's much? But also Jacopo is one to hold a grudge. ]
... As you grow up, you have to learn how to let go and accept things can't be what they used to be.

The man I used to be no longer exists. [ So his youth, too, should go with it.. It's resigned. ] Rather than a want, it is more of a dream.
no subject
Is it bad to talk about dreams?
no subject
To talk about dreams as dreams? No. To talk about them as being feasible? Yes. You shouldn't disillusion yourself from reality and fantasy.
no subject
I'd like to learn more about you. That seems like somewhere we could start.
no subject
[ Cagey and stupid. ]
no subject
[ they aren't opposed. just a little confused. they shrug! ]
But I can answer if you have questions about me.
no subject
[ you know... to feel safe or you know... have a bit of something on someone else. ]
How are you compensated?
no subject
We aren't.
no subject
... You three can't possibly be doing this for free.
