73rd Draw; Everything's Gonna be All Right~

[selphie_t]

[Enough! Enough is enough! There's just too much sadness going around Luceti right now and it doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. Selphie feels like she has to do something about it. She doesn't trust her voice right now to say much of anything because the loses have gotten to her as well. Instead, she'll take to the paper in a similar way she did for Archie the other day.

First things, a good three-quarters in taken up solely by brightly coloured pictures. Trains, Sailboats, those red velvet cupcakes they have at the bakery, anything and everything that comes to mind. Then, she pulls out a pen and her bubbly looking penmanship flows over the page.]

I know that we've all been through a lot and we have reasons to hate this place but think about it this way. If we hadn't been brought to Luceti, we wouldn't have met each other. We wouldn't have learned the things that we've learned and we never would've known that our spirit can't be broken no matter what they do to us. It might shake us all up and have us wanting to give up but we can't do that.

As long as we're grateful for the friendships we've forged and the things we've all learned from each other, the Malnosso can never break us. So tell me guys, what's something that you've learned from another person while in Luceti that you would have never learned at home? For example, Sanji taught me how to cook and Giles introduced me to Romeo and Juliet.

So come on! Don't be shy!
♥ Selphie

I learned how to contact the Filial spirits thanks to Helios. I don't think I would have ever gotten anywhere without his help. I've also learned different fighting styles from various people. Jitte from Smoker, archery from Link, swordfighting from Giles. Then there's also how to relax a bit and enjoy the simple things. Thanks, Grune.

It's also really nice seeing everyone... work together. It feels like a nice community. It's not always perfect, things happen, but it's a nice community and it's really nice.

...I've also learned how to make a really good pot of tea.

Tea. I think it's beyond me.

[She burns it every time she tries.]

Filial magic? I learned a lot at the school last year. The magic classes are open now so I've been attending those lately. You should go sometime, Ginia!

[falenandawn]

You know, you say some very wise things, Selphie.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

I try, I try.

I've learned some very interesting tricks from Hyt, I've finally seen Kain happy with someone, I've spent more than a few days with my brother...

[The full list would be rather long.]

[Cecil, here's a good sign that everything isn't alright by the way. Selphie never writes an entry in the journal.]

Speaking of Golbez... I haven't heard from him lately.

-I learned a bit more about cats from Foot. Generally, I learned that I give them far too little credit. For cats.

-I've learned about being there for people and just [...] being friends from Grune.

-From Okita, I learned that there's nothing wrong with having a life. And I learned how to talk to people. That's a skill that's seen me through a very great deal.

-Jilly taught me just how therapeutic working with clay can be. I kept myself occupied with it, while I was blind.

-Ami and I have been building a boat more or less since day one.

-Ginia, with the patience of a saint, has taken it upon herself to teach me how to dance.

-And from Buffy I learned what can be changed and what can't.

I could go on, but, well, I think that makes my point.

Luceti has been good for me, in that regard.

Man, I wish someone had given me clay when I was blind...

[Written] Because the muse refused to shut up.

[shadedsunlight]

You're a good student, give yourself more credit. Not a lot of patience needed on my part.

...We'll talk more if I ever attempt to teach you the tango.

I've learned from many different people and things in this world, Miss Selphie. I think my list would be too long for me to tell.

[ written ]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

You've gotta start somewhere then, right?

[There's one thing he could mention, but that's going into spoilers too much information territory.

Of a safe for work kind, but not something he feel comfortable to mention over the journals.]

It's good to be reminded of Luceti's better parts.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

And it's even better to know that my posts can bring the anti-social ones out of the woodwork.

[Voice] Sorry for the edits, I want to write something that expresses but doesn't reveal too much;_;

[This is the reason the Spartan likes you, Selphie. Military demeanor may be a rarity even among the Rogues, but morale comes a long way.

Not to mention... This place has made her the happiest she has ever been in years.]

I learned magic. I can move the winds as if they were a part of me. I can heal with only laying a hand over an injury.

I also saw acceptance. I was taught how to bake. I went to an amusement park for the first time in years. I got a family.

[She got her life back. She remembered the taste of pancakes. She remembered the warmth of hugs. She was given a second chance at living.

Daisy would hesitate to admit something else. The fact she also has the opportunity to fight.]

[Voice] I'll forgive you... this time. ;)

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

I got a family too and that means more to me than anything.

[happyends]

Oh, that's easy! You see-- [ And then she stops - she remembers the project she's working on with Yui is sort of secret, so she quickly tries to think of something else. ]

... U-um.. Thanks to Nagisa-san I learned it's possible to fly with balloons, if that counts..

Re: [ voice ]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

You'd need a lot of balloons for that. Unless you get a hot air balloon.

[Are all nineteen-year-olds this idealistic? He doesn't remember being so. ...No. No, he remembers being very much the opposite. Maybe just nineteen-year-old girls, then.

Still, no reason to spoil her mood with his... Well, he'd call it "realism."]

A wonderful thought, Miss Selphie.

[written]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

I thought so too.

[If you burst her happy bubble Horatio, she's going to draw a plethora of sad faces just for you.]

[lostinmyway]

[Sup, Selphie. It's been a while, but here's the woman who gave Cecil a bright yellow pansy plant to give to you in June, and who's also the one who promised Cecil to help protect your boyfriend and keep him out of trouble. It's about time the two of you met, wouldn't you say?]

I've learned all kinds of things. Let me see.... [There's a pause.] Fenimore and Stella have been helping me with my baking, and Giles has shown me how to make tea and has told me all kinds of nice stories. Link showed me where to find all the good berries, and Frederic is teaching me to play the piano.

Now, what else is there?

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[Yes, yes it is time that these two meet.]

All kinds of stuff, really.

[mush-monarch.livejournal.com]

[Hello person I never talked to before! You raised a very interesting question!]

Hmm... Well, one the things I remember the most is that I learned a lot about my friend Kazooie's world. And she kind of 'forced' me to learn how to make millet. [Peach can't help but chuckle at the thought.]

Oh, and I got to know Oswald and all his movies!

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll bite. What's millet?

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

I have learned to show my face again.

[Selphie draws in a smile for Golbez. It's also easier to hear him but she won't mention that... yet.]

Nothing wrong with that.

[justicereigns]

I learned I can actually have a roommate and not want to kill them from Ikki?

[Is that the best he could do right now? SADLY YES. But he will probably have a better one later.]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Well... that's always a... good thing.

[Voice]

[kamiyandisease.livejournal.com]

Eh? Um... I guess I've learned that there are other worlds out there with magic and unqiue people, too.

[Voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

And all kinds of different ways that that magic is used.

Also, I don't recognize your voice. I'm Selphie.

[Written, oh god latest ever]

[blessedbyfarore]

[Well, the handwriting isn't the best, and the page is pretty covered in drawings, but it's worth a try!]

I learned how to write and read and do numbers and things better at the school even though its boring sometimes

I learned lots about other worlds and electricity and things

Giles is teaching me how to play a gi guitar and Frederic is teaching me how to play a piano and Sheik is teaching me how to play a harp!!

I learned how to make a proper garden from lots of people but mostly Tsuzuki and Grune

I learned how to cook lots of things like rice and broth and things

I got to try lots of new foods like things from the bakery and food from Japan and dango!

I learned about lots of holidays like Christmas and Tanabata

Even though I really miss Foot a whole lot I never had a cat before and she was a really good friend

I got to find out what its like to have a family for the first time

[Written, not as late as this reply hun]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Family is a really great thing to have, I'm learning. A big, weird family but that's okay too.

[Link's enthusiasm about the bakery gets Selphie laughing.]

Got a favourite sweet from the Bakery?
