Is it weird that parts of this feel normal and parts of this feel like a simulation? It's strange and I get uncomfortable thinking about why some things seem really off without me being able to pin point why they are off. Also, realizing I died in what are probably my early 20's sucks.

So on to a more important question! What do shinki do for fun around here? I know there's cooking, cute goddesses and wine but I'm feeling a little boxed in by the weirdness of it all and could use a few more distractions.

I think so too. I wish it wasn't true, but I'm not much older than him I don't think.

How have you been doing that? I'm still looking for ways myself.

[latentforlife]

Well, I'll let whoever have a piece of my mind on the kid thing later. As for what you're good at? You just have to get lucky. Try new things and see what comes easy.

I had motivation to try cooking for someone recently and it turns out I'm not half bad.

[pure_radiantics]

That's not a bad plan at all, just trying a bunch of new things. It must be exciting too!

I'm glad that worked out for you! Especially since cooking is pretty much a universal skill, I think? Everyone needs to eat!

[latentforlife]

And here I thought being able to cook well would be something cool. I really need to find something special though.

[pure_radiantics]

I didn't mean that it wasn't cool! I just meant that everyone would be able to appreciate it, since everyone has to eat.

Like... if my specialty was making dresses, there would be a whole bunch of people who just can't take advantage of that, no matter how good I am.

[latentforlife]

That still sounds useful. I haven't seen a lot of stores up here in the afterlife.

Well, either way, I'm going to try to impress some people with it and see how it goes. In the meantime I need to find some other hobbies.

[pure_radiantics]

Well it may be useful, but only to anyone who likes wearing dresses. There are plenty of boys - and some girls - who don't like wearing them.

I guess it can be fun to try a bunch of new things, but if you're the super awesome kind of good at cooking, I don't think that's bad either.

[latentforlife]

I don't think I'm a master chef or anything but it looks like I must have had a lot of practice. It doesn't feel like what I want to be doing with my entire afterlife either, you know?

[pure_radiantics]

Oh, well, nothing wrong with that either. If you wouldn't mind, maybe you can show me a little bit of it before you move onto a new hobby?

[latentforlife]

Anytime! If you have anything you really like I can see about including it.

[pure_radiantics]

Hmm...

[And that's the first message she sends. Followed immediately by:]

What about pineapple? Or coconut.

[latentforlife]

I think I can do something with those. If you really prefer sweet things I can make deserts too.

[Luckily, text can't portray how much the desert idea is higher on his list than anything else.]

[pure_radiantics]

Well whatever you think would be easiest! I couldn't impose on someone offering.

[latentforlife]

I'm going to make plenty to eat myself so I don't mind. Lets go with sweets then, they keep longer and I'm in the mood to make something.

[pure_radiantics]

Thank you! Should I wait for a text to come by the Temple of Sutr and pick up whatever you make?

[latentforlife]

Sure! I'll let you know once I gathered the supplies and get to work.

((ooc: Did you want to hand wave that he made her a desert to take with her?))

[pure_radiantics]

[OOC: Oops I did my tags out of order. I can edit our event thread where she introduces herself if you'd like.]

Oh supplies? I thought you had everything you needed - let me know and I may have some of them. Oh, I guess unless it's a surprise.
