[Event Post]

::You can pick one of the following two events. Or both, if you're kinky.

A) You can find Koyo near the beach, with a sketchbook, looking out of the waves, drawing something in said sketchbook. If you look close, it resembles some sort of Chinese or Japanese medieval warrior with a polearm. The quality seems pretty decently.

He seems wistful, the waves rolling in and out, possibly creating a melancholy atmosphere.

B) Alternatively, you can find him walking through the forest-jungle towards the area where the Sand World connected ruins are. You'll find him stopping because a fence and safety sign have been made, saying the area is off limits and dangerous.

He's sighing as if disappointed.::

Really? What kind of things?

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

A bunch of ruins on the island which were once accessible are blocked as being off limits.

[pendulum_soul]

A bunch of ruins?
Well, they probably blocked them off for a reason.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

That's the problem. "Don't do this, don't do that, don't go there, it's too dangerous". Everything is so disgustingly streamlined!

[pendulum_soul]

Well, if they're ruins, they're probably too unstable to safely get near.

Any boundaries like that they put in place to make sure everyone here is safe.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

There's too much that's safe, that's the problem. Too much "You can't go here". It makes the world feel too small.

[pendulum_soul]

Well, like I said, boundaries like that are there for a reason and I kinda prefer having something there to stop me accidentally wandering into a place that's dangerous.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

I want to find out if it's dangerous for myself.

[pendulum_soul]

Hmn, in the end I guess it's up to you whether you obey the warnings or not but... if you decide to trespass in an area here where you shouldn't be and get caught, the Academy is pretty strict.

I kinda have first hand experience of that and it's not something I'd want to repeat.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

Then you can't understand if you don't want to take a step forward into the unknown, and feel content to remain on your placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity.

I want to know what's out there.

[pendulum_soul]

I guess we have pretty differing opinions about that, then.

I can understand wanting to take a step into the unknown, but it's also good to have a little caution.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

You get sick of caution, especially when what is "normal" doesn't feel real.

[pendulum_soul]

...'when normal doesn't feel real.'?

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

The 'real world' feels like a fake illusion to me, most of the time. It's just so. Plodding. Tedious. Pointless.

[pendulum_soul]

*Yuya frowns a little.*

I dunno what would feel more real than... I guess, reality itself.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

Anything that doesn't feel like a slow tedious plodding back to dust would feel more real.

[pendulum_soul]

...I guess I can't really help you there. Life doesn't feel like that to me at all.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

Anyways, that's why I'm drawing, so I don't have to think about things.

[pendulum_soul]

Well, drawing is a good hobby to have, no matter how mundane you think life is!

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

If anything, I wish I could feel enthused as you do.

::Sigh.::

[pendulum_soul]

Well, I hope you're able to find something that brings some enthusiasm out in you. I'm sure they'll be something that'll pick up your spirits eventually.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

... That said, what do you like best about this picture?

[pendulum_soul]

Hmn... *He looks at the picture again, in thought.* ... I really like the level of detail you put into it and the overall design is really eyecatching!

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

I'm not sure what I want to call it. Well, I do, but it's the strangest thing.

[pendulum_soul]

Oh? What is it that you want to call it?
