magentarific | o9 :: Flood of Destiny

[voice]
Since the whole place is in shambles anyway, does anyone with building skill want to help me make a new building for a coffee house? I'm willing to work as long as whoever I'm working with actually knows what they're doing, because I don't.

[ A beat of silence before she completely changes gears. ]

Also: I've got a ref and at least two players signed up, but I want to hold a beach volleyball tournament when things are less wet! I'll need at least two people to wear bikinis and aprons to hand out refreshments and lots of participants.

{{ ooc: I got permission for Yuri to have a coffee shop, but since there's no place for one she'd have to build her own. Since she has no building skill, she needs help. The flood is like a sign from destiny, though. }}

[ At any point during the day after this post, one might find Yuri wandered around town looking for a good spot that she wants to set up shop. She's wearing something different than normal, a nice green coat that she'd received as a gift quite some time ago, and it almost looks as though she's about to give up--

No, she's just heading off to get out of some of the mess to take her socks off, since they're pretty much just getting covered in mud and mess anyway and making her a lot more uncomfortable than if she had bare legs. Sure, it might not be as warm, but it's not itchy at least. ]

Since when? I'm just asking you to go learn how to nail two boards together without putting your eye out.

But I can't. And there's no point.

That's the point of going and learning. The point is if you start learning something, you'll eventually be able to do it in a useful manner. Why do you think you learn basic math or how to write? Same thing. Just because you know how to write doesn't mean you'll do anything useful with it, but you still learn it. Same with this, except there will actually be uses for it!

But learning how to do something doesn't mean you'll be any good at it, either.

You won't know unless you try and practice, either.

[Well, he knows himself. And he knows what he's capable of... or so he thinks.]

The only time I'd ever even use it is when you ask me to.

Then I'll make sure to ask you plenty. You learn to do new things because it makes you a better person and you've got the skills if you need them, not because you need them at the moment.

[Only he can't become a better person! But he decides not to say that. It's better to just go along with this for now.]

I guess we'll see what happens.

Exactly. After you do what I said to.

[ Yuri thinks he might just need a nudge in the right direction, okay. Find something he's good at and get him to shut up and do it and enjoy it. ]
