2 truths and a lie; daemon: janad

[it's an odd combination of motivations that has janus sharing today. sometimes a mangling of boundaries is a good way of setting them.]

2 TRUTHS AND A LIE
Preferred Alias: Alias here

1. I can deconstruct an Oreo perfectly. I can separate both chocolate halves and the icing into three separate parts.
2. I have a tattoo of Disney's Timon and Pumba.
3. When I fell out of love the first time, everything changed because I came to understand that nothing changes. I was sad for years. When the sadness started to go, it left in starts and stops. Those moments of relief weren't because I had healed. It was only because I had forgotten for a short time that I had lost him. Every time I remembered, I lost him again. Often this would happen when I was dreaming. My mind tried to make sense of this by making up worlds where I could have what I wanted. But there is no such world. There is this world, and it is good enough.

One Of These Is A Lie

Moving photographs? That is fascinating.

The world I come from is antiquated compared to yours, but not barbaric. I am fond of hot cocoa on a cold Coerthas day, which is every day in Coerthas.

You must explore the video function on your daemon. I think it's probably a bit more advanced than movies in my time, but I believe you would really enjoy it. Video logs and such are a good way to explore

I certainly wasn't trying to offend you! I think you're joking around. But just in case. I will share with you two Oreos

[astralera]

I have seen a few entries that have been done using this video function. I did not realize it was a common thing amongst the other worlds.

I have seen something similar in my home world using a surveillance system, though it was exceptionally rare using lost technology. We are mostly limited to portraiture as photographs are not widespread as of yet.

But you mentioned stories for children, so the films must be longer than the short entries I have seen so far?

Don't worry - I was not offended, merely playing. I won't say no to two of these Oreos however as I believe my dear friend would enjoy trying one.

[bangitybang]

Film technology in my world has an extensive history I wish I could tell you more about, but I can only recall a little about zoetropes and thaumatropes. You're right, children's movies go much longer than these video logs on the network. Hours, sometimes
Is your friend from your world or did you meet them here?

[astralera]

I should like to see one of those children's films one day.

He is a dear friend from home.

[bangitybang]

I'm envious
Does he comfort you in your loneliness and the knowledge of this place?

holy shit i thought i tagged this back ages ago?!

[astralera]

It is a comfort to know that at least one of my friends made it here alongside me. It gives us both hope that the others will join us as well.

no worries <3

[bangitybang]

I find myself thinking of such hopes as well, despite that I don't have anything-- or anyone like you, to rest them on
Perhaps there is something special about your connection to him

[astralera]

I find that there is always reason to hope.

We ended a war of a thousand years together, though we had the aid of a few other mutual friends. I suppose that might count as a special enough connection, beyond simply being good friends.

[bangitybang]

I haven't given up hope. Not about most things. Not about bringing my world back

That's quite a story
Did you win the war? Or was it still going on, when D.E.S.T.N.Y. came for you

[astralera]

We were victorious, yes. We were brought here a handful of moons later, when Eorzea as a whole was on the brink of a war.

[bangitybang]

I'm glad for you
My Clan has survived many wars as well. It brings out the worst in people, I think
And now we are here, eager to return.
Are you making a life for yourself here or focusing on going home?

[astralera]

I cannot imagine life without my home, nor how my home would fare without my presence.

[bangitybang]

That is how I feel as well
I do not really feel compelled to settle down here very much
Although many parts of this place are beautiful

[astralera]

Aesthetically it is all right, though I am much more biased toward the beauty of Eorzea.
