I'd like to (teach the world to sing)

[khaldrogos]

I WOULD LIKE TO... For a life best-lived, you never stop learning...or, better yet, doing! But maybe there's something you've yet to do, an experience you've yet to have. You'd like to try it. Even if you'd never say it aloud. Oh. You just said it aloud. I'd like to skydive. I'd like to rage. I'd like to learn Chinese checkers. I'd like to commit arson. I'd like to slit your throat. I'd like to dance with a pretty girl. Not a thing wrong with confession. It's good for the soul! Besides, somebody may be able to grant your wish. how to play. - Don't leave your comment blank. Instead, use the "I'd like to" template and breeze your way from there. Requests can be gen, ship-based, smutty, or anywhere in between as long as you properly warn for triggering content. Use your big brain filled with real creative things. Be literal or abstract ("I'd like forgiveness"). - Others will reply. - The ball gets a-rollin'.

I often think I'd like to pet a Miqo'te or Viera's ears. They look so soft.

[Wait, did she just say that out loud? Her own ears turn a little red with embarrassment.]

[fatalexception]

I guess the obvious answer is I'd like to meet a human.

[casketeer]

Oh? And what would be the first thing you'd do if you did meet a human, I wonder?

[Not that he's overlooking the fact that this young man already appears pretty human as it is. But, when you become well-traveled enough, you also quickly learn that looks are often quite deceiving...so. This should be interesting, no doubt.]

[fatalexception]

Ask them why.

2/2

[fatalexception]

[that's not what he meant to say at all, it was going to be something a little less- raw? More lighthearted? Possibly involving T-shirts? Sheesh, he's going to have to check his filter routines next time he does maintenance on himself.]

- that is, I mean, w-why they apparently regularly taped weapons to their cleaning drones? What's the deal with this?

[Holds up the rusty remains of a knife roomba he found in the city ruins recently.]

:') 9S...buddy.....is there something you wanna talk about--

[casketeer]

[Goodness, that started a little intense to say the least. Eyebrows arch at the first sentence, and...stay that way, as it's promptly walked back with no small amount of seeming fluster.

Well, that and the ancient knife roomba's genuinely a kind of left-field tangent too. Still, with a blink--and then a slight smile, that's maybe a bit more understanding than entirely comfortable--he follows along with the tangent in the end.]

Hmm, weapons on cleaning drones...? Ah, I've actually heard about this, I think. [Further scrutiny of the roomba, and then a decisive nod.] If I recall correctly--it is a prank, of sorts. Have you ever been lightly stabbed in your shins before, sir?

it's fine everything is fine :)

[fatalexception]

[Phew, nailed it.]

Not really? You make that sound like such a normal question.

[please 9S, you've seen weirder things (the clown robots...) And been stabbed harder.

He turns the roomba over, studying it more closely.]

Doesn't look like it moved very fast, but I guess if they weren't paying attention...

[Compelled of its own volition, before he can even really think about it:] I should like...a chance to truly rest, one day.

But that will not be anytime soon yet, I expect...

I'd like an actual day of peace. No dealing with apocalypses or any other world ending disasters. No dealing with assholes trying to kill me or trying to come at me with misguided attempts at revenge.

[ Is that too much to ask? The universe has seemed to think so, given the bullshit he has endured since coming back to the past. Give him a taste of the mundane, fishing, a drive through the country, a genuine campout complete with roasted marshmallows. ]

[brokensmile]

Yes to all that, even a full fucking peaceful minute of no shit going south will do. Not picky.

I'd like to have a garden.

[...hang on, did he even know he wanted that?]

[bubblegumheart]

What's stopping you from having a garden?

[duckshaveears]

I'm...not sure, anymore.

My old job wouldn't have allowed it, and I've been between residences for a while now. But I...suppose I could, now? If I found a place to stay.

Something to think about for the future, maybe.

[bubblegumheart]

What kind of job doesn't allow you to have a garden?

You might be right, though. Finding a place to stay first would probably make it a lot easier to do a lot of things. You should definitely keep it in mind for later, though!

[duckshaveears]

One where your employers are quite literally Hellish.

Point is, I haven't ever actually had a place that was mine. Haven't ever really considered it, either. So yeah, something to think about.

[bubblegumheart]

Oh. Well, they can't stop you now that you're no longer working for them!

I haven't ever had a place that was just mine, either. But I'd like to someday. Maybe I'll have a garden, too.
