Whoo, spoopy time. Seems like yesterday I was having the time of my life going trick or treating. My old town doesn't celebrate Halloween as hardcore as some of the other towns I know, Kanon town goes all out and I went there a couple of times. I had some fun there definitely.

Speaking of spooky, I got my badge from Morty. Thanks for all the help everyone with the advice, I really needed the assist. It was an endurance test all the way through but I managed to beat him.

Anyone plan to do anything this October besides the usual?

Honestly I can't remember. One day it just became a blur. And then I was here and it started to get clearer and clearer.

I just started focusing on work more and more, and I dropped out of school to work and things just blurred into work. No more time for heroics.

Sounds like a reasonable state of affairs. Keeping up with life is demanding enough.

[pikapikajankenpo]

Yeah, I mean, I had trouble towards the end but I ended my work on the terms I wanted. So I feel like I wanted to clear my slate and come back refreshed.

More than many might be able to say. What were you doing before this place, then? And what's been keeping you busy here?

[pikapikajankenpo]

I was a manga writer and artist. I produced a series that reached critical acclaim. It had a toy line, a animation series, and a lot of other things, but that might not be familiar for you. It's entertainment, really solid entertainment.

I spent time in the trainer and journeying life for a while before starting a new manga series here, focusing around a journeying trainer who is also a heroine.

Most of what you said doesn't mean anything in specific, but I get the general idea. Manga is a form of illustrated story? And you're now telling a story that is informed by your experiences here, or so I'm imagining.

[pikapikajankenpo]

That's right. The manga I told was inspired by my own life, and she bolstered me up, and drove me through the hardest times in my life. I owed her a lot in my life, and there was a lot that was written from personal experience. Which is why the stories were so well resonated.

Kind of like a hero for yourself, in a way.

It's good there's that allowance for telling stories here, like what you had in Japan.

[pikapikajankenpo]

It is. There's always room for stories. It's how history is passed down, and how the old educate the young. It's really an amazing way to keep everything alive.

I hope to pass on a tale that will give people hope.

[lyingheart]

Just as it's a tool that can change everything that came before. Rewriting history to benefit the winners is fairly common, or so I'd think.

That would be nice if it does. I imagine with that being your goal, and with the lack of obvious censorship here, there's a good chance you will.

[pikapikajankenpo]

It might be yeah. But I'd hope it wouldn't have to be a medium to rely on these days.

Thanks. That's appreciated.

[lyingheart]

You're welcome.

I'm heading out, but it was an educational talk. See you around, Yayoi.
