Distant Skies and daemons; she's actually upbeat about this

[peaceinchaos]

We've got through the painful part.  I'm grateful for the opportunity to get away, though this is a bit more literal than I expected.  There's no one I really know there; the man that I would won't know me.  Perhaps that's how it should be.  Is it wrong to think of this as my real chance to figure out who I am?  I won't run or hide from the things I have done, but is it wrong to anticipate the chance to move around so freely?

Heavens knows how difficult it is to have an identity crisis in the middle of a much more important global crisis.

Ah... but one thing.
 
I appreciate how much thought you're putting into this process; all the same, I would rather not have a yak as my constant companion.  They are very nice, useful animals, but they're also rather large.  I can think of quite a lot of situations where a yak would make things difficult.  Even an especially clever soul-yak.  And no, I don't imagine I can use my powers to shrink him down for convenience.  Considering he would be my soul, that seems incredibly unwise.

Unless, of course, you're secretly the Grinch. Then it's probably unwise but doable!

[peaceinchaos]

I'm positive I'm not. I'm not in the habit of wearing shoes that are too tight and my heart is just the right size.

[whatsupcroc]

Good! Not that the Grinch didn't have a change of heart down the line, but it sounded a little painful, and Christmas is still months down the line.

So, what's your name? I'm Collette! I have to say it's not a terrible idea to look at Cittàgazze as a sort of starting over. Some of us have had to, and I'm pretty sure others are taking it as an opportunity to do the same because they want to!

[peaceinchaos]

Yes, I'd hate to delay a bit of self-discovery just for a holiday caper.

It's lovely to meet you, Collette. I'm Wanda. I would hope so, the idea is an appealing one. I did have one chance before to start over, but it wasn't a proper one.

this is text because why the hell not

YAKS
GOOD DEAL

ubutt

[peaceinchaos]

If there are a lot of mountain roads around, maybe.

MAKE IT SIT ON PEOPLE IT'LL BE GREAT

[peaceinchaos]

No, I can't see that ending well for anyone. Especially the yak.

can you even threadjack in dear mun

[whatsupcroc]

Make it sit on Aranya she'll benchpress it or something I just know it!

I want to see a bench-pressed yak!

[whatsupcroc]

Nice to meet you Wanda! As far as the last second chance you had, let's think in terms of third time's the charm. Which means this is going to be great for you!

you can now

[spiderwife]

THY WILL BE GODDAMN DONE

[spiderwife]

COME ON YAKS CAN TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES

[peaceinchaos]

I'll certainly try to make the best of it. There's some important people I want to help in my future and it would be best if I got myself sorted out before then.

yes :}

[peaceinchaos]

As I said, ending badly for my yak.

[peaceinchaos]

It might feel bad afterwards. I'd hate to have a depressed yak on my hands.

[spiderwife]

oh shit good point that'd be awful

[peaceinchaos]

Exactly.

Thinking about it, I'm not even sure how one would go about cheering up a depressed soul-yak.

[spiderwife]

with a professional soul-monkey
works like a charm every time

[peaceinchaos]

A professional soul-monkey... So, you have experience dealing with depressed soul-animals?

[spiderwife]

no but pretty much i figured he'll just fling shit around until your yak feels better

[peaceinchaos]

I think that might leave me a little depressed.

[spiderwife]

hey you or the yak
can't have it both ways

[peaceinchaos]

I think I'll try to prevent the whole scenario by keeping my yak from sitting on anyone.

That way I won't have a depressed yak or a very unpleasantly dirty yak.

[spiderwife]

way to play it safe and BORING

[peaceinchaos]

That's for the best sometimes.
