One year ago today, I arrived in this world. One year ago today, I shared a fateful drink in De Chima with the man who would become the love of my life. One year ago, there were different faces in this world -- different people to greet me upon my arrival, but many are and have remained the same.
[ Raina smiles a sappy smile. She is genuinely happy for the experiences she's had here and people she's met. ]
There have been a lot of ups and downs, especially as of the past few months. But I would be lying if I said that being in this world hasn't been a largely positive experience for me. And while it's sad to think all of it can be gone and forgotten faster than we can blink, that just means we should try to appreciate what we do have here all the more, doesn't it?
[ She leans forward, warm and inviting. ]
So I'd like to hear about your positive experiences. What are some of the best things that have happened to you here? What opportunities have arisen for you here that you would not have gotten back home? What friends did you make that you never would have met otherwise? And for people who have ported in recently, what opportunities do you hope this world will bring you?
We're so focused on the bad things or getting back home to our responsibilities or the people who aren't here that we often neglect to stop and appreciate the little things. Even if it's something as simple as getting to taste strawberry ice cream for the first time. So let's take a moment to share our experiences with each other.
[ A pause. ]
Also while I have you here -- a few months ago I was speaking to a friend of mine and we were talking about how it's possible to port out and return without memories of ever having been in this world. I brought up the idea of writing a letter to ourselves detailing our time here and he proposed that we try to see if the government would include those in the files we're given upon our arrival. If people overall think it's a good idea, I can talk to a few representatives to see if it can be done. I just know that there are people and things here that I would not want to forget, and I'm sure a lot of people feel the same.
And I think that's about all I have to say. I look forward to hearing your stories. Even if we can't have our letters included in our files, maybe this post could serve as a little something for our future selves to look back on and see how happy we once were if ever there's a time when that is forgotten.

[ Giving Sasha lessons in the fine art of manipulation and seduction. No big deal. ]

Oh, like telling him his hair is nice even though it's just hair?
private
Well. It's a start. Especially if he takes a lot of pride in his hair.
private
He really does... he cares more than most girls.

Does Dr. Chilton care a lot about his hair?

[ What a bunch of girls! ]
I mean... do they really need complimenting then if they already take care of themselves?
private
private
But we don't do the same. I think.
[ She doesn't know if Raina does, but who knows? Maybe Raina likes the compliments. She is a beautiful lady, too... ]
Though if... if that makes him want to talk a little more...
private
Well, I think everyone appreciates a compliment every once in a while. It's human nature to like hearing that we look nice every once in a while.
[ But she nods adamantly. ]
I can guarantee that it will be the best way to get him to open up a bit more. He will know you appreciate him, especially if you compliment personality traits of his. I'm sure there are things about him you really like otherwise you two wouldn't have been together so long. So all you have to do is show him that.
private
... there are. [ And while others find him much too rough to handle, Sasha isn't unused to that sort of attitude or his sharp words. ] Um... alright! I will give it a try and see...
