[As it's raining today, the old man has decided to do what he usually does, get drunk out of boredom. But it has been a while since he's used the journal for anything other than people watching, so he figured he should probably contribute to that mess that we call social interaction. He's been trying to figure out what he was doing the last time he was in Luceti, he must've entertained himself somehow. He did gardening.]

How do you guys stop yerselves from gettin' so bored in this place? Not that I mind the peace and quiet we get when we're not bein' experimented on! It's just that some of you must've picked up new hobbies, ones that don't involve spendin' every day at the battle dome, right? Us old folk just aren't cut out fer that sorta thing. Drinkin' alcohol every day isn't a very healthy hobby ta have.

[A pause while he pours himself another class of wine.]

A turtle did suggest that I take up a musical instrument now that I think about it.

Do it. Then you can serenade me, post-crepe-feast.

[ she isn't strictly as cheery as she sounds, but she chooses to be upbeat when responding to the 'old man'. ]

[crisisrain]

[Then that makes two of us, darling.]

Serenadin' women after winning their hearts with my delicious cookin', ya know, this instrument idea doesn't sound half bad now.

[ voice ]

[herotypical]

[ they co-conspire to be cheery. it's a thing. ]

See? My brain and your skills? You'll have all the women-folk lining up.

I try to keep myself occupied by talking to people. An easy thing to do with the journals.

Instruments might take a while to learn, if you're patient enough.

voice;

[crisisrain]

Talkin' ta people is great, do it all the time. But sometimes they talk such crap ya need a distration.

And I have the patience of a saint!

Learning an instrument isn't such a bad idea. I picked up learning the harmonica since I came here.

[Voice/Filtered]

[crisisrain]

Ya play the harmonica? Didn't know that... A few of the guys I kept runnin' into in jail back home used ta play one as well.

The library is always open.

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Ya know, I never thought of readin' books. I'm not really a bookworm, but if ya've got some recommendations I'll give 'em a shot.

Greetings!

I usually busy myself decorating the manor, it's not as big as back home but it's still big enough for me to take a while at it if I do it little by little. I also read books and study a bit, practice music and help with the chores as much as Sebastian allows me.

If I still have time I take walks around the village and play with my pony and Chomp. And sometimes I do trips to the clothing store!

[For a Victorian girl life here isn't as boring as it could be.]

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Afternoon!

Sounds like yer keepin' yourself busy there. There's a lot of people livin' in our house, so we don't get the luxury of a nice quiet day fer the most part. I spend most of my time outta the house and around town, there's just not much ya can do when the weather is miserable like this.

But ya mentioned you practiced music? So, what instrument do ya play?

[voice]

[all7seas]

I know a way we can go about not bein' bored, mate.

...

Well, TWO ways, but I like the wenches so we'll be going with the first way.

[voice]

[crisisrain]

Oh? And what would this first way be?

[Voice]

[lukanightfever.livejournal.com]

Oh? Is Mister Raven interested in music?

[What, she's a singer, it's natural that she will be interested in this.]

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Ah! Luka sweetie, it's been a while!

Yup, I'm interested in picking up a musical instrument ta help pass the time in Luceti. Still decidin' which one ta go for.

[justicereigns]

Which turtle?

I should probably get another hobby too, but so far, drinking every day doesn't seem so bad. [Aside from one embarrassing drunk birthday post... woops.]

[crisisrain]

Raphael, the red one.

I don't mind drinkin' everyday, the worst that can happen is ya die, and even then you'd come back to life a week later. What hobby ya got in mind? Or are you lookin' fer somethin' ta do like this old man?

[ voice ]

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

There isn't anything to do.

I read.

[ voice ]

[crisisrain]

So pessimistic! There's always somethin' ta do, ya just have to find it.

What kinda books do ya read then?

[Voice]

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

You could teach yourself a new language.

I mean, sure, there's not much use for it since everything gets translated, but keeping up with my Elvish has been a conversation piece before.

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

See, because of that translation thing, even if someone is speakin' another language towards me I'd never know. I seriously doubt half the people I chat too would be able to read or understand a word I say if that magic wasn't involved.

[trueknight]

You could always try doing some stuff around the house.

[What? It passes the time, doesn't it?]

[crisisrain]

Sure, I'll go throw out yer crap like I said I would!

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Weren't you practicing cooking before? Whatever happened to that?

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Emil!

I wouldn't call it practisin' cooking, since I used ta do it before I arrived here. It's merely keepin' up my skills to impress the ladies~ I'm after somethin' new I didn't do back home.
