[ so many... ]

Because it masks the flavor, or because a sprinkle has gotten stuck unpleasantly into the crown of a tooth?

[worldexecute]

( she did it a little bit at a time. every day. going to an ice cream parlor. )

Mostly the first.

[icanfixer]

[ but she's had that unpleasant experience too... ]

I shall endeavor to try them all by year's end... That is not much time, but surely it can be under so long as I preserve...

[ hmm... who would want to go with her? ice cream's best eaten with others, but day in and day out might get tiring for some. she needs to make more friends. ]

Very well! I shall make ten more friends.

[worldexecute]

You don't have enough already?

( you need TEN MORE? )

[icanfixer]

One can never have too many friends, Angela.

[ ... so long as they know when to let go, something in her echoes softly, and she pushes it down. ]

And then, I shall have plenty of people to enjoy ice cream with as well. It has been fun, being around so many others, has it not? I quite enjoy it myself.

[worldexecute]

Fun isn't the word I'd use for it.

( overwhelming. too much, at times. there's a reason that she tends to excuse herself when there's too many people around, listening to conversations through the bookshelves instead of joining them herself. the steady buzz of chatter, distant but near... )

But I... have enjoyed it, I suppose. To an extent.

[icanfixer]

Then it has been fun!

[ simple as that. just like this, in its own way, is fun -- now, it is fun. ]

Even if it is only "to an extent". Happiness is something one must keep growing, no? I believe that thinking applies thus as well.

[worldexecute]

...Is fun something one must keep growing too?

( she sounds vaguely amused... perhaps she is (gasp) teasing don.... )

[icanfixer]

[ if so... (gasp)... then don quixote has done her new job well, in protecting the smiles and happiness of others. she doesn't mind, poking back amicably. ]

It must be tended to, lest one forgets how to have it. Does that make sense?

[worldexecute]

( no. )

And if one's version of fun is perhaps diametrically opposed to someone else's?

[icanfixer]

In example?

[worldexecute]

It's not particularly to my tastes, but there are people who derive entertainment from violence and watching others fight for their lives.

[icanfixer]

Hmhm, that is rather fun as a participant...

[ probably. it sounds fun. to her. ]

There is no need to force thyself to enjoy what another might, it only means that there are activities one has yet to discover they might like to do together! What they may like about it could be transferred to something that would suit thy tastes more, such as snacing.

[worldexecute]

( ........... )

Snacing?

[icanfixer]

Snail racing.

[ like it's... obvious. ]

Though, the lack of the little critter makes it somewhat difficult to do.

[worldexecute]

( she has never in her LIFE..... maybe this is a don-ism. )

Only somewhat? I would assume it's a main component given the name.

[icanfixer]

[ not her fault you didn't get a book on it ]

I have hope that we may one day find a single creature among the leaves, else we may only replace the sn- with something else. Such as.... Tacing.

[worldexecute]

( ...she is doing her best to figure this one out on her own. she is. she i )

And what would that be?

[icanfixer]

Toy car racing!

[ ... she couldn't have known. ]

[worldexecute]

( she couldn't have known. )

That's just racing.

[icanfixer]

Specifying it allows all to easily understand what is expected to be brought to the race, Angela. Imagine if one had brought a toy horse to the race, not realizing its rocking motions would be lacking compared to the toy care! Would thee like to know what a toy horse race is called?

[ please. please. ple ]

[worldexecute]

A race.

( please. )

[icanfixer]

[ s

surprisingly

she gives a gasp, genuine surprise. ]

Perhaps thou art not as sheltered as I had thought... Do thee know what it stands for?

[worldexecute]

( HELLO? )

.............................Rocking race.

[icanfixer]

[ holy shit ]
