✯ Seventh Session ✯ [Voice]

[Through the weeks Paprika has been noticing more people coming through, signalling another cycle. It seems that most of the arrivals have already come and still no Atsuko. Well, that's probably for the best anyway. She can't say she would be happy to see the woman stuck here. For some reason she's been thinking about it. Probably because of the rain. The cold, dim demeanor reminded her of her creator. Kind of sad actually.

In the morning, she flips open the journal and begins. She has something she wants to address and given the rain, more people will probably be inside reading to see it.]


So, I see we got some new arrivals in the village. I'm sorry that you all got stuck here. ...Well, only half-sorry. If you actually want to be here, that's fine too. [A small smile.]

My name is Paprika and I'm a psychotherapist. For anyone who doesn't have 'people doctors' in their world, psychotherapists help people cope with certain issues they feel they can't resolve on their own. Like mental stress or the like. Specifically, my specialty is dream therapy. Psychotherapists are known for having interpersonal relationships, so it's like getting to know the person inside and out and not just talking to them for an hour a week.

I'll get to the point: if any of you have things you want to talk about, but don't feel like you have anyone who will listen or want to keep a matter private from others, I'm willing to lend an ear. Everything we speak about is confidential between us and I won't force it on you. I already learned to make unhackable filters on this system. Or, if you prefer, we can talk in person.

It's just an offer I'm willing to give to anyone who needs it. We have plenty of medical doctors, but sometimes the deepest wounds come from within the psyche. This goes for current residents too. Luceti can be a stressing environment and no one would blame you for getting stressed to a point where you need help, if you can acknowledge you need it. I'll be here all day to answer in.

[ooc: replies come when I wake up.]

Really? That was sweet of them to do for you. Watches don't really cost anything here, but the thought of it is what counts. I'm sure you know that though.

I know that.

The thought was important. And besides, my old watch kept horrible time.

Time is very important for a watcher to keep. [A snicker.] Watch. Watcher. [Yeah she is easily amused as you can see.]

[Silence.

...once upon a time, he would have found that funny, too. So it's cool, Paprika.]


I don't think the parallels were lost on them, either.

But mostly, I like to think that it's because they're both very practical people. And this way, if my watch gets stolen by a pirate, I'll have a spare.

Stolen by a pirate? That's pretty specific. Past experience?

[Honestly, Giles' regular life sounds so wild that anything he says happened to him would probably be believable.]

[He kind of depends on that.]

Past experience. And I couldn't speak at the time, so I couldn't drop Buffy's name to make him leave me alone.

[Such was the beginning of a vehement hatred...]

It's nice to be close friends with one of the most well known figures in the village, sometimes.
