FILTERED TO MALCOLM

Any chance you'd be interested in having some drinks one evening? It feels rather depressing to drink by oneself all the time.

~~How have you been~~
~~I miss~~
How has your pursuit of education been treating you? I know I'm even newer to this world than you, but if there's anything I can do to assist you, I'd be happy to do so.

	Sure. I probably drink alone more often then I should. I just asked Vallo at large to recommend some places to drink and Galahd was suggested. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	As do I, truth told. I haven't visited there yet, so I'd say that's an excellent place to start. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I may drink alone, but I don't usually get drunk alone, unless it's been a particularly horrible day. I have no idea what the atmosphere is like, but we can give it a try. Are you free tomorrow night? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnforyou 2021-04-22 05:57 pm UTC (link)
	We'll count that one for the win column. If it's awful, we'll just drink until it's better. And yes, I'm free tomorrow evening. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds like a plan. I'll meet you there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll be there. Thank you. I appreciate it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No problem. [OOC: You want to play out their drink or just handwave it?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Making friends was difficult enough in my own time, let alone in a place like this. [OOC: Let's handwave this one, but we can definitely play out some stuff with them in the future :D] (Reply to this) (Parent)

Well, I've signed up for a few classes to begin in August, so that's something to look forward to. It's still so new to me, so I asked the DOA for assistance and they were absolutely wonderful in pointing me in all the right directions. That's [...] not me saying in a nice way that I've no need for your help, since I realize now that it almost sounds like it could be.

Did you enjoy fight club?

	I'm glad they were able to give you some guidance. What topics are you going to study in these classes? If by enjoy, you mean being soundly beaten in the first round, then yes. It was exceptionally enjoyable. In all seriousness, despite the loss, it was a good evening. I intend to sign up again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It seems to be what they refer to as general studies? So there's going to be a little bit of mathematics, a little bit of science, some literature. A little bit of everything, really, which I'm almost grateful for as I don't really know exactly what I want to focus on yet. I'm not used to having so many options at my fingertips.

Yes, that was exactly what I meant. It was so enjoyable for me, so I could only assume it was fun for you, too. (I jest.)

Do you? It seems to be consistently growing in popularity and the monetary prizes aren't terrible, either.

	Well, I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts on each subject, if you'd care to share them with me once you begin. Oh I have no doubt you found it most entertaining. Odd as it may sound, it's the one place here that I can still feel normal and not massively out of place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That doesn't sound odd at all, Simon. I think we're all trying to find some sense of normalcy in this place that's so unfamiliar, or separate from everything we've known. If fighting makes you feel more at home here, then there's nothing odd about it at all. And I promise I only enjoyed it a little bit.

I wish I could find whatever that thing would be for me here. My place in this world is so very different from the one I had back home.

	~~I could be the~~ I think you're on a good path to hopefully find it here. Though if you ever just want some company from home to help, I'll volunteer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I miss our promenades. You know, the ones we had before it all became so complicated. When it was just easy. I wouldn't say no to one of those if you were up for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON burnforyou 2021-04-26 03:57 am UTC (link)
	I miss them too. Not the gawking part, obviously. But your company was always exceptional. It would be an honor to join you, Daphne. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON incomparable 2021-04-26 04:07 am UTC (link)
	Heavens, no. I could forever do without the gawking. We could go to the farmer's market when it's open next. I could use some fresh produce for the flat, anyway. Would that interest you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON burnforyou 2021-04-26 04:11 am UTC (link)
	Fresh produce isn't a bad idea. One of the few things I can manage to feed myself without having to order. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON incomparable 2021-04-26 04:14 am UTC (link)
	To be entirely fair, I still cannot cook for the life of me. I buy produce to make myself feel like I'm being some semblance of a functioning adult. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DAPHNE \| SIMON burnforyou 2021-04-29 02:13 am UTC (link)
	That, at least, I am at least someone versed in. Luckily paying others to bring me things is something I'm quite good at. (Reply to this) (Parent)
