[Lust's expression is thoughtful when she flicks on her 'gear, the device propped on a coffee table in what looks like a living room. She's settled on her couch, a stack of books visible next to her.]

Indulge my curiosity...

Does anyone else come from a world where the predominant entertainment is radio? Much as I enjoy television and films, I miss a good radio drama. There's something to be said for allowing the imagination to fill in the pictures.

[ It sounds all too familiar, and she looks significantly more unsettled. ]

... What happened... in the end?

[a_sin_for_him]

He became nothing but wind, too.

[shatterings]

... Was he happy with her?

[a_sin_for_him]

I don't know. It didn't say. Simply that he couldn't find his way home, no matter how he tried, and eventually he became nothing but another voice on the wind.

It was only a story.

[shatterings]

I... mm. Yes. Of course. Only a story...

[a_sin_for_him]

There was one about a train powered by dreams, too. And a man who sold his voice to win a bet.

I'm sure they were happy with each other, in the end. What other choice did they have?

[shatterings]

A train powered by dreams... that doesn't sound so bad.

[ Pause, and she looks down. Still dwelling on the story. ]

But... if he didn't want to be there in the first place, could he... ever be truly happy?

[a_sin_for_him]

If he's not a fool.

We rarely get what we want, when we do it's nothing short of a miracle. For the most part, we all simply have to learn to be happy with what we're given.

Really? I've always adored the view of the crashing waves and the sweet sea breeze, though I suppose it's not for everyone.

Seafood's certainly among my favorite meals, though, particularly when cooked by Grandship's proprietress. In all my time here, I've yet to find a chef who rivals her culinary perfection.

I like to look at it, but it's so vast and deep and full of things. Perhaps it's simply my desert soul's distrust of so much water in one place.

That's quite the recommendation.

[shatterings]

I... I suppose you're right. I wonder....

[ She trails off, thinking to herself. The story'll be on her mind for a while--and it's certainly troubled her, quite a bit. ]

Oh, oh! If you go ahead with it, I'd love to do sound and stuff for you!

Really? I don't know anything about any of that, it would be greatly helpful.

I imagine you'd feel right at home in Ancheim, then. It's a charming kingdom, even if its coffee's a touch too sweet for my taste.

And that recommendation comes from someone who's traveled all across Luxendarc and sampled the various cuisine. There's simply no comparison, even if each region has its own perks.

Just tell me when you're ready and I can head over there! Or I can send you, like, lists of sound equipment or whatever for you to check out on your own if you want. You live over in Goldenrod right?

[dreamsofahero]

I'm afraid I've never developed a taste for it, no.
