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

Comments

[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.

[phichitchu]

Oh! [Phichit grinned.] I knew a girl named Lauren when I lived in America. What's your job here at the carnival?

[mylastchance]

[Fucking...]

Well I'm not a girl.

And I guess I'm a performer.

[phichitchu]

I could tell. [He assured with a blink; it was hard to tell if that was offensive, but the reaction made it seem as such. Being from Thailand, Phichit didn't know Lauren was generally a female name, but also he didn't care.]

Sorry? We don't have to talk about it.

[mylastchance]

[Don't worry Phichit, it's not you it's him.]

No. That's fine.

[Did he make this awkward enough yet?]

[phichitchu]

Oh, good! So what kind of performance are you part of?

[mylastchance]

...One with animals.

[phichitchu]

That's really cool! [He says immediately, his eyes wide.] All animals?

[mylastchance]

I mean, not at once.

[phichitchu]

[He laughs.] I didn't think that.

[mylastchance]

I wasn't sure...

[phichitchu]

No, don't worry, I mean, it is a magical carnival.

[mylastchance]

Yeah, it's sort of surprising.

[phichitchu]

The surprises make it fun!
