Happy New Year, everyone!~

*Selphie's room, in the background, may seem a little less decorated than it was before Christmas, but all those fairy lights are still there. She's wrapped up cosy in a blanket on her bed, a bunch of random books at her side*

So, it's a new year, and my resolution is to learn something new! You're a talented bunch, Vatheon, I know it - so whatcha gonna teach me?

*Lord knows, there's a lot of things that she could learn*

How bout you? Resolutions, anyone?

Any of zhese are very time-consuming. Also, I learned zhem at very young age. So I vould not even know vhere to start teaching.

[booyaka_boom]

Oh...

Well, I guess I'd probably be no good at learning those things anyway. I mean, I can play violin a little little bit..

[red_medic]

Vell, zhen you may know already zhat it ist no easy instrument.

[booyaka_boom]

No, it isn't. It's pretty hard.

*And she frowns a little, not wanting to seem stupid*

But I could totally do it!

[booyaka_boom]

[red_medic]

[booyaka_boom]

Great! I'd love to hear you play - and I think it'd cheer up the whole town!

[red_medic]

Ve might even ask Fräulein Rhi'a if she fishes to accompany uns on zh piano. She plays it lovely.

[booyaka_boom]

*Oh, you've done it now - Selphie's just absolutely glowing with excitement. She's been trying to get a band together since she got to Vatheon!*

Oh yes, that would be AWESOME!~

[red_medic]

Zhere are plenty of people in zhis zity zhat seem to haff some sort of musical talent. It ist quite... Vell. Pleasant.

[booyaka_boom]

There are so many, and they play all sorts of instruments. We're a talented bunch!

[red_medic]

I guess you can say zhat, ja. After all: Music seems to be somezhing everyone understands und zhat ist easy to share und to enjoy togezher.

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie smiles and gives a small nod*

That's right. Music really gets people together. I've made friends by playing music, too!

[red_medic]

Do you play ozher instruments as vell, if I may ask?

[booyaka_boom]

Uh huh! I play guitar, and bass guitar.. a little bit of saxophone...and I sing!

[red_medic]

Oh? Zhat ist quite a bit. Does zhe interest in music run in your family?

[booyaka_boom]

Family?

*Selphie gives a tiny smile and a half-shrug*

Oh, I don't have any family. So...maybe?

[red_medic]

You do not haff eine family?

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie shakes her head, all casual like - this is just par for the course*

No. I never knew my parents, so I've never had a family. Not like that.

[red_medic]

Vell, I guess zhat sort of zhing happens.

[booyaka_boom]

Mmhmm. It does.

How bout you? Do you have a big family?

[red_medic]

[He shakes his head.]

Nein. Meine parents died several years ago.

[booyaka_boom]

Oh... I'm sorry to hear that.

*And she was, because she could never understand what it would be like to have them, and then not have them*

What about a wife...? Or a girlfriend?
