“I see now that the path I choose through the maze makes me what I am. I am not only a thing, but also a way of being—one of many ways—and knowing the paths I have followed and the ones left to take will help me understand what I am becoming.”

Not at home. Shabu shabu is better with more people, and since it's just me and my father when he's not busy... [ She usually eats alone. ] Actually, I mentioned it to Vogel because I thought it would be a nice change.

[ And it really is nice! She's having a lot of fun. Haru reaches over and with a small 'May I?', she adjusts his grip slightly. ]

[userunfriendly]

You have enough people to do it properly here. I didn't realize we had another guild this large.

[ And it's nice to see all the teenagers relaxing and acting their age, for once.

He blinks at the adjustment, very tentatively testing his new hold on the chopsticks once she's done. That's... less precarious. With a sheepish little cough: ]

...Thank you. I must be the only person here who isn't used to using these.

[rebelles]

The more the merrier! It would feel lonely in the guild otherwise.

[ Crowded and lively is better than large and empty. She's delighted to have everyone here, and Winter is no exception. Haru tilts her head to the side curiously. ]

Where are you from, Winter? If you don't mind me asking.

[ He makes a noncommittal noise despite himself. He's not accustomed to such rowdy environments anymore himself... but it's true that the place has felt strangely empty, considering how many of them are trapped here. ]

I suppose it's not much of a secret now. Paris, originally.

[ Although that's been a while. Vestiges of internet safety habits remain, perhaps. ]

...And you?

[rebelles]

Japan, so you could say I'm used to using chopsticks.

[ But Paris, huh? ]

I've never been to Paris. I always imagined it a romantic kind of place.

[userunfriendly]

It's... like any large city, I imagine.

[ Not that he's seen very many. All of three now. If he had to pick a romantic one, well... ]

Japan seems... [ His gaze flicks to Justy, then to Hani, and his brow furrows. Hm. ] ...like an interesting place.

[rebelles]

I suppose we have our own unique culture. What do you find interesting?

[userunfriendly]

I don't know very much about it. However much Hani's guild is representative of it, I suppose.

[ The... decor? Now he knows a little about the food. Chopsticks. He moves the pair in his hand, tentatively, succeeding in not dropping them.

Doubtful he can pick anything up. But he's not stabbing food with them while he has a witness. ]

...I thought it was known for being more structured and traditional. But the only Japanese players I know couldn't be called that.
