Sorry I haven't been around too much lately, everyone. I haven't been feeling very well, before or after those last viruses... I hurt my eye for a while before them. [ Read: He got a mirror stuck in it. ] Then I got sick for a little while after. [ Read: A youkai from his past wanted to make him suffer and he got sick because of it. ]

I'm better now though. I even got invited to a party... of sorts. It seems a little shady, though. [ He doesn't sound thrilled about it. ] My friends from school are trying to figure out some kind of trip too. We usually go fishing, but Nishimura said we should do something different every once in a while.

I have a question for everyone though: What do you want to do when you get older? Or, if you are out of high school already, how did you decide what you wanted to do?

[ She's totally going to ignore that last question, since it would just get awkward.. a magical girl has nothing to answer to that, after all, she doubts she'll even get old enough to think of doing anything, and she's a hobo to begin with, so..

But the first part makes her suspicious either way, so of course she's immediately on it. ]

Don't go to any shady things! [ .. Kyouko, are you not even going to pretend that you aren't worried by now.. ]

[ It's not actually shady besides that it was basically a bunch of his friend-type spirits who.. want to kidnap him and take him to a drinking party but Natsume is too much of a goody two-shoes for that. ]

I'm not planning on it. It's probably just an excuse for them to go get drunk.

[selfished]

Tell me if they drag ya off, I'll give 'em a piece of my mind! [ Nevermind that Kyouko can't see spirits.. ]

.. N.. not that it's for your sake though!

[guardiss]

When I get older... [ and he can't help but think, if i get older. if the zombie tattoo never gets removed, he guesses he won't technically be getting any older. ] I suppose I'd continue serving with my world's soldiers, like I do now. I'd like to be able to preserve peace here.

[spiritually]

That seems like a good cause. Is your country at war? [ He seems pretty young to be in a war though.. ]

[guardiss]

In a few weeks, it will be. I've spent a while preparing for it.

[friendcontracts]

Don't do anything I wouldn't.

[spiritually]

It's nothing dangerous, it's just a drinking party.. Apparently for me, even though I'm a minor.

[friendcontracts]

Those guys probably don't care that much about that.

With your run of luck, are you sure you want to risk a shady party?

[Stage cough, stage cough. He brings the back of his hand to his forehead, the other to his chest.] Ah! This sickness still has me in its clutches! Just when I thought I'd had it kicked, it's a rebound! Go on ahead without me and enjoy it in my stead, dear friends!

...Would be one way out.

[spiritually]

Well I already told them I wasn't going and that it sounded shady, it's not like I needed to lie about that.

[ Then when they tried to dog pile him he punched them >T ]

[smokepraylove]

You have yourself a handle on that, then.

So, worrying about your future now, are we?

[kitchenknives]

Hell if I know. Something amazing, I guess.

Hey, wait, what kind of shady?

[spiritually]

Something amazing? Most of the amazing people I know aren't people I'd really want to follow in the footsteps of though..

[ Becoming an exorcist.. no way. But what else is he supposed to do? He's barely got a passable for normal life as it is, if he got a normal job he'd probably get fired... ]

Like... drinking and things. I don't drink, it's illegal for minors so..

[kitchenknives]

Ouch. Well, a different kind of amazing'd be fine then, right?

I mean, I guess getting drunk is okay, so long as you don't get too drunk. Probably waaay too embarrassing.

I wanted to go into financing when I was a girl.

[spiritually]

Financing?

[ That involves working with people who don't know about spirits though, huh... probably not an option, and that's what this is really about: Natsume trying to get some ideas. ]

[shinjaeba]

Investing and such. It might have been an odd choice for a little girl but that's what our family did.

[ponytailprince]

Hmm.... when I get older?

[what the hell would kouji even do-]

A doctor? No, maybe I'll keep going with kendo, maybe even become an instructor.

video;

[spiritually]

Those sound like good ideas... You've still got a lot of time to decide though.

[ponytailprince]

Yeah I do.

I'm really into kendo though, so more likely something along the lines of that. [he'll strive to be kendo captain he will!!]

[fightbymoonlight]

Should you really be going if it's shady?

As for your question... I'm not sure. I haven't really given it much thought lately. Perhaps something in the area of botany, but I don't really know yet.

[spiritually]

I already told them no... They're still being insistent about it.

Botany? Like plants?

[shadow_spread]

I'm glad you're feeling better.

I don't think I can help much with the question, though. I pretty much followed family traditions.

[locked]

What kind of "shady" are you talking about?

[spiritually]

Thanks. My family tradition.. That's a little more difficult. [ As in he broke that already. ] All the people I know who are similar to me don't really have the same views either, so there's no way I could follow in their footsteps.

[ He doesn't want to be an exorcist.. ]

[locked]
A bunch of spirits want me to go drinking with them. They're all ones that I trust, but I'm still not old enough.
