Fifteenth Theory [Written/Voice]

[Written]
People say they are bored here... how can that be? The world is endlessly fascinating. No less so, when we are confined to a small area...

[A drawing follows.]

[Voice]
Aros? Was my filter too difficult for you? [Pause. Listening.] Aros? [Pause again.] Has anyone seen Aros? He's human, maybe about 18, been here about a month. I haven't heard from him...

[Voice] - You found one!

[i_speak_softly]

Oh - very well! Are you planning to come to the construction party?

[Voice] - :D

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

That's good to hear!

I didn't know you were having a party.

[Voice]

[i_speak_softly]

Maybe 'party' is the wrong word. It's mostly going to be work, but - I hope it can be fun too.

[Selphie giggles.]

Work can definitely be fun! But it does depend on what you're doing sometimes as well.

Like paperwork. Paperwork is never fun.

[Voice]

[i_speak_softly]

And who you're doing it with.

Paperwork? Is that like origami?

[Voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

For sure!

You don't ever wanna do paperwork. It's evil!

[Voice]

[i_speak_softly]

But I don't even know what it is... [Anything he doesn't know about yet is automatically interesting.]

Paperwork... oh man, I never thought I'd be explaining paperwork but here goes!

Well... paperwork where I come from is pretty much filling out a bunch of reports about how well a mission we just completed was executed and each person from the mission has to submit one. There's forms to fill out and other things too.

[Voice]

[i_speak_softly]

Oh! Right. I've heard of that. I thought you meant something else.

Isn't it important to do, though? Lab write-ups aren't the most fun part of doing an experiment, but it's how you share your results with the scientific community.

[Voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Nope! Not at all.

It is but... I don't like doing it at all!

[Voice]

[i_speak_softly]

What do you do in your world, Selphie? What kind of missions?

[Voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

I do a lot of things! Some of them aren't very pleasant though...

I'm a mercenary in an organization called SeeD. As for the missions, they vary from the liberation of towns to escorting Sorceresses!

[Voice]

[i_speak_softly]

That does sound more interesting than paperwork.

[Voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Way better than paperwork.
