Well. There's reading. I would like to do more of that. I've had enough time and yet I never seem to finish a story. [ A pause. ] Speaking to others more frequently. [ Yet another pause, a frustrated sigh. ] And a more...'normal' schedule, that is, to be awake during the day rather than at night. [ Some radio silence and then the device shuts off

What genres do you like?

[shiningdown]

Actually, I have yet to come across a genre I dislike.

[fatespoken]

Then pick a book and sit down until you finish it.

[shiningdown]

Have you any suggestions of your own, as to what books, that is?

[1000year_earl]

Both the day and the evening have their own benefits of sorts. Splitting your time between the two might also have its advantages. ♥

[shiningdown]

Oh yes, that's true. I mean, I imagine that, based on the network, most people here do seem to be awake rather late to begin with. The shift to something like half shouldn't be that bad.

[1000year_earl]

Small, sure steps toward a goal. There is no need to rush into such matters. ♥

Is there something that intrigues you about the twilight hours?

[shiningdown]

Only that after dark is the time when I am, in my own world, supposed to be awake. It's habit, honestly.

[heliolatrous]

It's not that hard to talk to people.

[shiningdown]

[ muttered but definitely audible ]

But most people are so aggravating.

It depends on the person, I suppose.

[heliolatrous]

[ He laughs at that; he can't disagree at all. ]

Of course, some are easier to deal with than others, but just talking to them isn't hard.

[shiningdown]

That may be more or less true, if one doesn't mind whether or not they are actually listening.

[brokemysmolder]

Well, that all sounds achievable enough!

[shiningdown]

I believe it is. Simple, I grant, but sometimes simple is best.

[brokemysmolder]

You know, you're right! That's why my resolution was to stop stealing things! What could be simpler?

[shiningdown]

[ PAUSE... ] Walking in circles, perhaps.

[ AND pause, the reprise. ]

You were previously in the habit of stealing, then...?

[Almost, possibly, a little teasing, though of course fondly so.]

You know, I'd thought maybe you couldn't be up and about during the day, that it was more than a habit.

[shiningdown]

[The smile can mostly be heard.]

You're half right, in a way. At home, well, while I was in the sky that is, we did have a schedule to keep as...silly as that sounds when I say it.

[had_not_lived]

I can imagine it'd've upset someone if the stars had been late to rise.

[shiningdown]

The world has a balance to maintain.

[ It's a joke, kinda...well okay and kinda not but it's all in good nature at least. ]

Have you any resolutions of your own? I don't think I ever have, not before being here.
