hey! i've been wondering something recently!

i spoke to a guy who's met aliens and fought them, and i realize that i havent had a chance to ask everybody! where do you all come from? what's your world like?

its probably kinda boring to ask at this point but i don't really know a lot of you and i bet you've all got really cool stories to tell!

also if anyones not busy, i wanna mess around with my magic some more

ah sorry, i didn't think about that!

that's a pretty interesting future to hear about though. were you able to travel between the ships?

[fairysong]

Of course. It doesn't bother me, but if you ever meet one, just think about it. Nobody's alien to themselves.

You could. It was somewhat expensive, so most ordinary people wouldn't bother; they just lived their life on their own colony ship.

But with Folding, you could get from ship to colony world to ship fairly quickly.
I grew up on the Macross Galaxy, but wound up living on the Macross Frontier, for instance.

oh wow, so you've even been to more than one! that's really impressive!

that's what i'd be excited to do, you know. i mean finding one world or ship would be nice, but if there's a lot out there... it's only natural to want to see it all, right?

[fairysong]

See, that's strange to me. You say it's really impressive, but really, all I did was book a ticket. No different from flying to anywhere else.
I traveled to multiple ships and colony planets for my career.

It's a big galaxy. You can never see it all before you die.
Not that it should discourage you from trying.

[uncommonsense]

but that's the thing! some people dont get out to travel that often. even seeing one world's kinda hard to do in a lifetime

but your career? you got to travel a lot for your job?

[fairysong]

Sure. I'm a musician.
Going on tours and all of that, you know?
If I just stayed on the Galaxy, I'd be letting my fans down everywhere else.

[uncommonsense]

a musician! that makes sense!

[ Of course, tours would be the best way to see a lot of the world, or in this case, a lot of the different ships. ]

i played in a band once! it was pretty fun, but i only really got to see another school

[fairysong]

That's not nothing, you know.
What instrument did you play?

[uncommonsense]

i played the guitar!

guitar and vocals actually! it was really fun, and everyone enjoyed the heck out of it

[fairysong]

Performing really is a rush, isn't it?
You should be proud of what you accomplished!

Besides, playing the guitar and singing-- and doing both well-- is no joke. A lot of people underestimate just how hard that is to do.

[uncommonsense]

yeah! it was tough but i picked it up pretty well

you think theres anyone around here thatd wanna start a band? i kinda wanna do it again!

[fairysong]

I can't say I know anyone in particular, but that doesn't mean they're not here.
I'd never stamp on the hopes of an aspiring musician.
I say you should go for it!
