I didn't know that water balloons were native to any region of the library...

[femmefailtale]

Ehh, some girl in Lilac I know from back home beaned me in the face with one.

No big.

[folding_cranes]

I didn't know water balloons were native to Lilac, either. ...Perhaps it was part of a quest?

[femmefailtale]

Probably. I was just the unlucky victim--story of my life.

[folding_cranes]

Perhaps it is up to us to write our own stories... Surely you can become the fortunate heroine!

[femmefailtale]

...Optimistic, aren't you?

[folding_cranes]

It is better than the alternative, wouldn't you say?

[femmefailtale]

Wouldn't know. Never been the half-full type.

[folding_cranes]

[nods slowly]

I believe I've spent a lot of my life depending on others. So maintaining a positive outlook was the least I could offer.

[femmefailtale]

[oh no that sentiment is cute...] And I just try my best and fail miserably.

Eventually you learn to start planning for the worst.

[folding_cranes]

But if you've tried as best as you can, it can't be a complete failure. Because at least you've succeeded at giving it your all. And perhaps the next time, you will succeed.

[femmefailtale]

And then when you get older you start to learn how to lose but get what you want anyways.

And suddenly, you're me.

[folding_cranes]

If you've received what you were after all along, does it truly count as a loss?

[femmefailtale]

Yeah, since while I got what I was after I didn't get what I was going for.

Being me's complicated.

[folding_cranes]

It sounds like it...

[femmefailtale]

You get used to it.

[folding_cranes]

I suppose you'd have to, being you as often as you are.

[femmefailtale]

Only every single day of my life, little lady. [This is a wink.]

[...Not that it's possible to tell.]

[folding_cranes]

[protip: wink the other eye]

That is more than a lot of us here, depending on how you think about it!

[femmefailtale]

[But then you still couldn't tell...]

Oh trust me, I don't envy anyone else out there who has to be me for a day. If you're not used to it, you're screwed.

[folding_cranes]

[give me your hand, i can sense these things]

It does seem as though there's a bit of a learning curve. Perhaps you would be able to give yourself some tips.

[femmefailtale]

[Lie detector handholds are the best kind♥]

Probably. Like for instance, never promise yourself anything 'cause you're always gonna weasel your way out of it.

[folding_cranes]

What if you promise to break the promise?

[femmefailtale]

Dividing by zero. World explodes.

[folding_cranes]

[giggles]

I suppose we couldn't have that. It sounds like great responsibility.
