I'm so sick of this cold! I've been trying to make use of the time spent inside to catch up on my studies of various magic, and work on my patience... but I just end up trailing off in thought, and want to be some where else. A warm place that's filled with wonder- where the sun lasts for more than just a few hours!

I can't wait for the world to feel alive again!

I'm afraid nothing interesting has been happening in my world lately.. and yet something has blocked me from connecting here. How strange that I'd miss it!

You're so lucky! Will you be taking lots of pictures? What is it about?

[pikapikapikarin]

I will be! The Tanabata festival is about two lovers who can only meet once a year, and their tale is represented by the stars Vega and Altair. You write wishes on paper and hang them on trees actually.

You should come actually!

[angel_promise]

That sounds so amazing!! Oh, I would love to come! [she's super excited now, and guaranteed she's going to look high and low for more information on this Tanabata.]

I can't believe something like that exists, how beautiful is that?

[pikapikapikarin]

It's pretty incredible. It's got a lot of fun things to do everywhere. And there's a lot of games and festival treats too.

The trees are beautiful too. Especially when there's papers all over it.

[angel_promise]

I wonder how many other worlds have this...? We're missing out not having something like that...!

[pikapikapikarin]

I noticed worlds that have equivalents of China and Japan usually have Tanabata. Or at least something similar.

[angel_promise]

That's so amazing, isn't it? So many different worlds having the same... it's like they really are alternate universes!

Have you thought about finding a way to see the different worlds? .. Or maybe it doesn't really interest you?

[pikapikapikarin]

While I haven't visited too many, I've got access to a worldhop as well. It's pretty nice to be honest.

[angel_promise]

You could go anywhere you wanted if you ever got bored!

[pikapikapikarin]

I once went to Paris actually! It was really nice.

[angel_promise]

The name in itself sounds lovely, what's in Paris you wanted to go see?

[pikapikapikarin]

I wanted to see the Louvre first off but it was late in the day so I mostly checked out their cafes and such.

[angel_promise]

I want to see these things... you make them sound amazing! My world feels very small, hearing about all of this.

[pikapikapikarin]

How big is your world might I ask? It sounds like you've seen most of yours.

[angel_promise]

It's hard to say how big... I sort of want to say... average? There's many things to see.. and so many hidden wonders! I wouldn't believe it for myself but I guess you could say I have pretty much seen it all - to the moon and back. Literally!

[pikapikapikarin]

Oh wow, you've been to the moon too? That's incredible. I wish I could see mine.

[angel_promise]

Well, space-- is that close enough? It was sort of scary though, and I don't remember a lot of it! Very dreamy...

[pikapikapikarin]

It sounds amazing to be honest! I dunno if I could ever go to space.

[angel_promise]

haha, I have to admit- it wasn't by choice!

[pikapikapikarin]

Oh? How can going to space not be a choice?

[angel_promise]

I ... can't really say? Well, personally - I don't remember much. But, let's say something bad came over me.
T.. that's pretty strange sounding though, huh?

[pikapikapikarin]

That is kind of weird, but okay. I getcha. It musta been something crazy for you to not remember how awesome it must have been to go into space.

[angel_promise]

It was a little scary - I don't remember getting there, and suddenly I wake up and I'm literally lost in space! I was stranded in the middle of empty black space! I felt dizzy and fuzzy and strange, like my mind was muddled with someone else's thoughts. It's all still ... sort of hazy in that moment.

[pikapikapikarin]

Wow that is scary. I'd be worried then. I'm glad you're okay.

[angel_promise]

I'm glad no one got hurt because of my silly actions, really.. but I'm glad to be okay too-- I still love looking at the stars so I can't be too scarred!
