[Aranea had been busy! After a vigorous romp of trying to find meisters, practicing with the sword, and meeting up with old friends, the troll was getting pooped! Fortunately there was a communal ice chest with bottled water, which she was now gladly enjoying at the shade of a tree.

Her eyes looked out and glanced over everyone practicing. They were really putting the all out there and she was glad. Even if the people of Death City were going crazy with their animosity, it was not going to be enough to dampen their spirits.

She also wanted to do one more thing while she was here. It was something she had considered a little before the event with the kidnappers. Though she was quite fond of it before she was dead, ever since she died the troll had never found a need to put pen to paper. Yet, as more memories were beginning to come to her, the appeal of putting some thoughts down on paper started to make sense again. After all, who knows how long they would be here? And... what things would remain were she ever to... disappear.]

[entreats]

[ Hey, Aranea, there's a person staring from a distance once the writing starts. Ange was just practicing with a practice sword by herelf, but she can't help but look a little in Aranea's direction when she notices she's writing. Ange's slightly interested in that sort of thing herself as well, so she can't help but get a little distracted because of her interest. ]

[consider8]

[For the moment, Aranea is looking over the training ground, a pen in her mouth. She smiles a bit at all the bustle and notices Ange practice. Though she seems a bit distracted?

Hmm...

Maybe she should wave. Yeah. Waving is good.]

[entreats]

[ Oops. Ange only realises she was caught staring when she notices the girl wave. Or maybe that's when she realises she was staring at begin with.. for a moment she drops what she's doing, walking over to Aranea instead. ]

Hey. Sorry, I didn't mean to stare.

[consider8]

[For a second or two, Aranea doesn't say a word, instead scribbling a few things down. She still doesn't look up and says with a broad smile.]

You know, if you wanted to know what I was writing you need only ask.

[entreats]

Well, I didn't just want to randomly butt in. For all I know, you could be writing some sort of personal diary.

[ And Ange's not the type to fish for details like that. ]

[consider8]

I am. And for all you know, I would be okay with sharing it.

[She looks up and smiles.] Exchanging information and getting to know other people is part of what changes relationships and causes them to flourish.

[nolicenseyet]

[Whenever Eve wasn't training she would be people watching more often than not.

It wasn't everyday she saw someone writing during morning training so, intrigued she made her way over.]

What are you writing?

[consider8]

Just a few of my thoughts. [The troll girl commented, without looking up.]

With everything that is going on a record of what I believe is important and some of my opinions regarding things may be useful. Especially if I were to suddenly disappear due to BREW or other circumstances.

[nolicenseyet]

Oh. Like a journal?

[consider8]

[And she looks up.]

Yes! Because that is what it is!

[nolicenseyet]

Are you addressing it to anyone?

[consider8]

Right now it is for myself. Because it's a way for me to gather my thoughts. But if it were to ever happen that I may no longer be here, it would be meant for the person that finds it.

I will hope it will find it's way to my friends.

But either way, it will go to the person that is meant to have it.

[pranksterheir]

[John sits himself down next to Aranea, hoping she doesn't mind some company.] Hey! Are you writing a story...?

[consider8]

[Aranea looks up at John, her usual smile on her face.]

Why, yes John! It's a story that you are taking a part of. As are all members of Death City and this universe.

[pranksterheir]

Is it sort of like a history log of stuff that's happened here...?

[consider8]

That's right.

Who knows, it might be important later.

[pranksterheir]

[It brings to mind Vriska talking about Mindfang leaving behind a journal Vriska eventually found.] Are you writing it like a story or is it more like a bunch of notes about stuff?

[consider8]

I don't like writing down anecdotes or facts. I've always found them too dry or thin. I think the best way to tell anybody anything is to tell them a story.

Because life is a story. The best story that is still being written.

[Lily was also doing a bit of writing this morning although it was related to her gardening work. She had a notepad in her left hand, which was wrapped with a bandage, and a pen in her right.]

[Noticing Aranea sitting under the tree, she went over to say hi.]

Good morning, Aranea. How's your nose doing?

[open]

[consider8]

[She looks up at Lily, closing her book to offer her full attention.]

Ah... still injured but better. It only hurts if something bumps into it unexpectedly or if I poke it too hard.

How are you?

[vintage_magic]

[She nods.] That's good. You haven't run into any more trouble, have you?

I've been okay although I had to close my shop for a while with the riots and the kidnappings. I only just reopened a couple of days ago.

1/2

[consider8]

Well... [she rolled the l a little long...]

I did get involved with that excursion to rescue the kidnapees.

I just couldn't sit back and watch them suffer. [Though she does appear a little sheepish. Deep down she knew that she wouldn't have missed the chance were she to do it over again.]

2/2

[consider8]

[Her sheepishness fades at the sound of the bad news. Geez. Was there anything this whole situation wasn't going to foul up??]

You had to close shop? That's terrible!!

[vintage_magic]

Me, too. I only met one of them before but my tailor's friend was also kidnapped and I went along for his sake. [She normally would have been happy to leave something like this to the authorities though because the kidnappers were human and she wasn't a fighter.]

[And closing the shop had been bad for her finances but...]

I didn't want my employees to risk getting hurt coming to the shop with the riots. Besides, helping Kanji look for his friend was more important.
