[ she's been pretty reclusive, but it's been hard to muster motivation for much. part of her has been hoping that maybe, if she's listless enough, she'll bore the powers that be into sending her back again. so far, no luck. ]

hey, so this probably sounds really weird
but make sure to bring a bunch of dirt back with you from the planets, ok??
i can grow veggies and flowers and stuff with them
but i need a lot of dirt to do it

who knows how long itll be before we see real land again, right?

[ okay, that response is actually strange enough to pique her interest a little. ]

well
do you want some flowers?
i could take care of them if you want
and you can just visit them

Re: [ text ]

[shamisens]

No. I think I'm okay. We have some flowers around. Ochako and I got some.

[ Kubo takes care of them to the best of his ability. ]

[shamisens]

I'm Kubo. I'm still new here.

permatext

[thebarkside]

oh! welcome
i havent done such a good job at keeping up with who is coming and going these days
but i hope being here isnt too jarring or tough for you

[shamisens]

It's been all right so far.

[ Kubo's life was jarring and tough. Compared to that, the Fleet seems easier. Not by much, but enough for him to catch his breath. ]

Everyone is very helpful.

[thebarkside]

they usually are
its good that youre willing to ask for help :)
some people arent

[shamisens]

I'm still working on it. I usually do things on my own.

[thebarkside]

i used to, too
it gets pretty lonely pretty fast

[shamisens]

I don't think that's a problem for me. This is more people than I'm used to already.

[thebarkside]

it took me a long time to get used to, too
but its pretty nice when you do

[shamisens]

I don't know if it's that nice.

[ But Kubo knows why. His heart is still a little sore over gaining a family and losing it in one fell swoop. ]

[thebarkside]

well, no, you are right
it does really, really suck when people you care about leave
but blah blah dont let the bad times spoil the good blah blah blah i guess

[shamisens]

Yeah. I know that part too.

[thebarkside]

[ oh. that's rough, buddy. ]

do you need to talk about it?

[shamisens]

Do you?

[ But Kubo winces at his own words and replies quickly. ]

It's fine. I just don't want to talk about it yet.

[ He already blew up at Crowley and Souji for it. ]

[thebarkside]

[ jade isn't really bothered -- she knows how it is. ]

thats okay :)
i wasnt really expecting you to
but i thought i should offer anyway
i know how hard it can be

[shamisens]

It's hard. But I think that it's not so bad that it's hard. I still hold it in my heart.

[thebarkside]

that is a good way to look at things!
a very good way, actually
not so many people ever figure that out

[shamisens]

I was lucky. I still am.

[thebarkside]

its more than just luck that makes a person who they are :p
not to get all deep life lessons here
i am probably the last person on any planet who needs to try to give those out
but just saying!!

[shamisens]

Maybe. I can't say I have all the answers either.

[thebarkside]

hehe, thats okay
the answers dont really matter considering how frequently the questions change

what ship are you on, kubo?

[shamisens]

I'm on the Starstruck.

[thebarkside]

thats a good ship probably!
i mean, ive never actually been there but >_>
most of these ships are good
