[ well, that's quite the mental update. while ishmael isn't reeling from the download's sappy effects, she is in the mood to yap and gossip -- which is typically unlike her at all. and so, while they're all still waiting for the download to finish, she's got this to ask on their shared network. ]

Looks like this is going to take a while. And I know that most of us here were haunted by certain dreams a while back, me included. It's something I've already gone through back home so I'm not too bothered with it now, but I'm going to go ahead and ask anyway.

What are some of your happier memories?

That's probably easier said than done, though. You don't even have to think too far back and just share whatever made you happy since coming here. It's corny, sure, but we could definitely need some cheering up after all that on top of this horribly hot weather.

Of course, if you're too shy to share them to everyone in the class, I get it. I know I am. You can just tell me privately if you trust me that much, or you don't have to say anything at all and just read or react to everyone's contributions instead. Also if anyone's gonna come here to say shit like "Oh I'm not gonna share anything :/" then do us all a favor and not waste our time. Thanks. 👍


[ ish is too embarrassed to share hers right now, if anyone's wondering 🧍‍♂️ of course, feel free to threadjack if needed. happy yapping!! ]

She's six years old. She goes to a very prestigious academy back home and studies hard every day. And she's so so so so cute!

You must be quite proud of her.

[ She sounds like such a sweet mother...! ]

I am! She's gotten quite a few of those Stella Stars the scholars at her academy wear. In no time she'll be a top student, I'm sure!

It sounds like she's quite the diligent student. I've never been to an academy, but I hear it can be difficult to keep up.

It is! Her father would remind her every day to study and help her. Her grades weren't amazing, but she's getting there! I know she'll be an imperial scholar in no time.

An imperial scholar? That seems like quite an accolade... Even someone as young as a six year old can get such a title...?
yormama: (what'd you say?)

[personal profile] yormama 2024-06-22 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I don't think she can be one right away! But having good grades and the stars will make it easier for her to be one when she gets to um
I think middle school? I think that's when they start selecting the scholars.


[ Loid might've clarified but she...forgot. ]

Oh, I see.

I was never schooled formally, so this is new to me. I hope your daughter succeeds, but I hope she remembers to have fun and play and make friends, too.

[personal profile] yormama 2024-06-23 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
I hope so too. Scholars have such big opportunities and heavy responsibilities.

But she already has a wonderful friend named Becky at school so I think she'll be okay.

That is good to hear. It's good to have friends that are the same age as you...

[ She's only really had one such friend at home. ]

Do you miss Anya? And her father?

[ Naturally, that would be her husband...? Or perhaps not. Fern isn't here to judge (in this one particular instance only) but she's careful to try and use the same words that Yor had when mentioning her daughter's father. ]
yormama: (too stronk)

[personal profile] yormama 2024-06-24 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
I do. Time has made it easier to accept being away from them, but sometimes I still wish I could at least talk to them and catch up.

I understand how you feel... I wish I could talk to my teacher, too.

But at least you have your happy memories with your family. That's what LILITH wants us to do and what this post Miss Ishmael made is for, isn't it? To look back on those times...

Speaking of, what are some of your happiest memories?
If it's okay for me to ask.

Of course it's okay - it's supposed to help us resist the kaiju's effects.

I mentioned my sixteenth birthday with Mistress Frieren here, but... More recently, on my eighteenth birthday, Mister Stark spent an entire afternoon getting a birthday present for me together.

It was because he forgot to get me a present, which made me so upset. I was too harsh on him, but Mister Sein gave me good advice, so we were able to reconcile... It was an emotional day, but in the end, I was very happy.

Your memories are so wonderful. They're the kind you'll always remember, I'm sure.
