Everything feels so festive and lovely. There were certain traditions back home, but I don't think there was anything quite like this. So full of joy and wonderment. You can feel the energy in the air. Even if I don't entirely understand it, I still cannot help but be wrapped up in it.

Despite this, I am still longing for the freedom of space. There's nothing like being in my shuttle surrounded by the darkness of space with no planets or anything else around me. It may be overwhelming, yes, but it is also thrilling in a way. At least it is for me. I suppose that longing will pass with time. ~~Or if it does not~~ More meditation and tea is required.

I cannot wait to see what other festivities are to be had in the coming weeks.

	I was planet side often enough but being 'grounded' for this long is definitely taking some getting used to. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yes, I've remained planet side for some time as well, but I've always had the option to retreat to my shuttle. I suppose I've been fortunate in that way. Have you been here long? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Over a year. August of last year, in fact. It has taken some getting used to especially since my occupation and rank within it do not exist. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That is quite a long time. But I can understand what you mean. I worked as a liaison for the Alliance back home, but I don't know if there is a similar position to be held here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There are always liaison positions needed. Unfortunately, it is a lot of "who you know" in this day and age. Given what I know about your friend, you may be able to find easy work as a translator. I will admit that I am not sure how much the language will have evolved by your time, however. It should be fairly easy to figure that out. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You should try a VR headset or something. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	An interesting idea. I wasn't sure if simulations were available here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There are all sorts of space games and stuff, I'm sure that you can find something that's kinda like home. Or maybe even better than home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I will have to look into this then. Do you find them to be realistic? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, I don't know. I've never been to space. You'll have to ask Grandpa Bruce or Thor or Tony. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ray_of_light 2024-11-24 05:34 pm UTC (link)
	I see. Thank you for your suggestion nevertheless. I may also be able to get information upon procuring this simulation device. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You can get them at Target. They are occulouses. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ray_of_light 2024-11-26 12:20 am UTC (link)
	I'll be sure to ask for them by name. You have been most helpful. I'm sorry I did not ask for your name sooner. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's nice to meet you, Timmy. I'm Inara. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lots of traditions around Christmas. [...] We could go Christmas shopping for presents for our friends. But you can't peek at yours. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ray_of_light 2024-11-26 12:21 am UTC (link)
	That sounds lovely, River. So it's like a surprise then. I think I quite rather enjoy that idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lots of lies about Santa Claus. No such person. It's impossible to visit every child who celebrates Christmas in one night, just doesn't work out mathematically. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I really love this time of year. There's so many people here from different places so it feels extra special this year! Being out in the middle of space sounds terrifying and also kind of peaceful. I think I might pass out though. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ray_of_light 2024-11-26 12:22 am UTC (link)
	It is rather festive indeed. The first time I ventured out, I was a little nervous, though I was assured everything would be alright. Since then, I have loved nothing more. (Reply to this) (Parent)
