[Well it's not like they've had a ton of time to pursue hobbies since they met.]

Well, that's a good place to start. [He looks thoughtful.] I'll have to look and see what's actually around here though.

[selfmotivations]

At least you don't have to worry about the price.

[since everything is like. free.]

[makesitbetter]

One of the few perks of living in an empty city.

[selfmotivations]

Though it's also kind of creepy when you think about it. For all we know, we could be wearing or using something that once belonged to those who vanished. It's like taking the property of a dead person.

[makesitbetter]

[....]

It's more likely than not, but don't you think they'd want us to use it instead of let it go to waste? I think I would, anyway.

[selfmotivations]

Possibly. Still makes you wonder how it even happened. People randomly appearing and then vanishing...were they even real or what?

Well guess it doesn't matter in the end. At least we have something.

[makesitbetter]

Maybe they were all really like us... just dreaming that we're here.

[He shrugs.] But you're right. There's no point dwelling on that, especially with a happy kind of holiday coming up.

[selfmotivations]

We've been celebrating a lot of holidays here, lately. I'm not even sure if they're actually this world's holiday or something carried over from other worlds.

[makesitbetter]

Who knows. Maybe we're just the only world that misses out?

[selfmotivations]

Judging from the network, I don't think so.

[makesitbetter]

Well either way, it's not so bad getting to experience another culture's traditions for a while. And it's a chance for Milla to get to have some fun without being the actual subject of the holiday. [He's sure Nia Khera festivals are all about honoring Maxwell and stuff like that.]

[selfmotivations]

True.

[not that he ever really partook in such things (aside from happening to be there) for obvious reasons. though thinking about it, he remembers how so weird it had been for him. growing up in a place where it was all just a myth or fairy tale and now...well. at least i had been easier to adjust to the fact that oh hey, Maxwell might be a legit real thing since he had still been a kid. still weird, but probably a lot less so compared to the adults at the time.]

So should I expect another party to be thrown at the tavern or are we keeping it just to ourselves this time around?

[makesitbetter]

That, you'll have to ask her. I wouldn't mind keeping it small though.

[Parties just aren't his thing. Especially after the last time.]

[selfmotivations]

Knowing her, she'd probably want to throw one. But I'll see if I can keep it down.

[makesitbetter]

Thanks, Alvin.

[Not having to handle drunk Milla again so soon would be a nice Christmas present.]

[selfmotivations]

No problem.

Anything else you need?

[because they've been talking for a while whoa.]

[makesitbetter]

I think we've covered what I called about.

[is this what living in modern society means, chatting for ages while not even being face to face...]

[selfmotivations]

[yes. yes it does. just wait until they start texting all the time.]

All right then. I'll let you know when I head out over there. Until then, I'll see you later.
