What do you think is the cause of feeling... Restless?

Comments

[whattaprick]

Indigestion.

[mylastchance]

I'm not certain that's true.

[whattaprick]

If you just plan to criticize every answer you get, why'd you ask the question in the first place?

[mylastchance]

I did not mean to criticize.

I only meant whenever I have stomach pain I do not feel restless.

[whattaprick]

So what's your answer to the question?

[starseedling]

Oh, uh... I think...

Wanting to do something, but you can't? Because you have to wait for something to happen, first.

[mylastchance]

Impatience.

[Definitely a possibility.]

But what if you don't have anything you want to do?

[starseedling]

Um...

[He has to think.]

Probably just feeling like you should be doing something. Like, if you have a whole day off without anything to do sometimes you end up feeling anxious about it because you feel like you're wasting your time by not doing anything? I guess it's probably different for everyone.

[mylastchance]

[The concept of a day off is foreign to him, but he thinks he understands.]

That's irrational.

[starseedling]

Well... yeah! A lot of the things that make us feel bad are irrational. But that doesn't mean we don't still feel it.

[wild_magic]

I think it means you're bored... Except I don't know how you can be bored when you're so boring.

[mylastchance]

That doesn't even make sense.

[wild_magic]

Yes it does! It means you do boring things all the time, so I'd think you were just used to being bored or couldn't get bored at all!

[mylastchance]

Something that's boring to you might not be boring to me.

[wild_magic]

I think everyone would think that sitting under a tree and doing nothing is boring.

[mossbuds]

Boredom.

[mylastchance]

That seems to be the consensus.

[spaghettimonster]

Getting less rest.

[It's a rule that skeletons jump into radio conversations to offer wordplay. Or, if it isn't a rule, it should be.]

[mylastchance]

[If he meant it as a joke it went over his head.]

What makes you say that?

[spaghettimonster]

[That's fine by him. The best jokes are the ones that don't interrupt the flow of conversation, anyway.]

It's simple!

People who rest too much don't do anything. People who don't rest enough occasionally light houses on fire.

[mylastchance]

So to be less restless I need more rest?

[phichitchu]

I think it's having too much energy but not having something to use it up on. So you just need to figure out what you can do to tire yourself out!

[mylastchance]

[It's the most sensible answer he's gotten yet.]

Well... Any suggestions?

[phichitchu]

Well, whenever I felt restless, I usually would hit the ice -- that is, because I'm a figure skater. But that's not really an option underwater...

But we could go for a swim? Maybe explore that old ship everyone is talking about if you haven't already? I'm Phichit, by the way, I joined the day before we ended up here. I'm a wardrobe assistant. Who're you?

[mylastchance]

[Ahhhh... Social interactions. For a shy introvert like Lauren that doesn't sound at all entertaining.]

Um... Lauren.


That's my name.
