i never thought i'd miss rainy days until i came here. there's just something about not having any weather at ALL that makes you miss it, right?

it's not enough to just be good at something where i'm from. you can be a great student, or a good athlete, or, i don't know, a born leader, but TALENT is something different. people are born talented, and people who aren't talented just can't compare.

it's a little hard to explain, sorry

[oddbod]

Oh, absolutely. There's really nothing like waking up in the morning and hearing it drizzle on your roof. That was always one of my favorite things.

And that's alright, you're doing a fine job.

mishima -- that's erika mishima, one of my friends -- says we shouldn't mess around much with those VR sets until we know more about them. it sounds kind of mundane to use them to recreate a normal day, huh? that's all i keep thinking about, though.

hah, thanks. i'm not used to having to explain something like that. i mean, where i'm from, it's just something people have known all their lives. if you can get accepted to and graduate from hope's peak, you're set for life

I've thought about it as well. Just for a few minutes, I'd like to be back in my little apartment in London, you know?

And I certainly get that. Once, I had to explain eating to someone from a planet of photosynthesizers.

[....]

a what

[oddbod]

A planet of people who eat light, instead of food. They just absorb it, like plants do.

[hopefragment]

i thought you said you were from london?? how did you get to a planet of plant people??

[oddbod]

With a spaceship, of course.

[hopefragment]

right, of course. the idea that the earth you come from is just starting with space travel definitely doesn't contradict taking a spaceship to a planet of plant people.
