Okay, I did the 'getting-used-to-this-place' thing and I have two questions.

First, where can I buy or borrow a bike. [She'll borrow one and live life pokemon style if she has too.] I'm already getting tired of walking everywhere.

[Willa doesn't make it clear if she's talking about a motorcycle or a bicycle. She's not that picky and either would do. However, she has very little to no experience driving a motorcycle but she's sure she could figure it out.]

Question number two. [She holds up two fingers and holds them in front of the screen.] What did you guys all do before you arrived here? Is it the same as what you do now? Be it jobs or hobbies or whatever.

[Anyone can respond or not, but Willa wants to meet more of the people here and see what kind of crowd she's dealing with. From the small sample she's run into, it's certainly an eclectic bunch.]

What's important to me is obtaining my goal, enjoying it has never really been my focus.

[She'll get used to it or learn to avoid him, that's a pretty common opinion among his friends. To be fair, though:]

Alchemy's been part of almost every job I've had.

[Not dealing at the casino or bookkeeping for Greed, but details.]

If alchemy wasn't fun for me, I probably wouldn't have picked it up when I was five.

So what happens when you obtain your goal? Will you be happy then?

[alchemyfreak]

Sure, but there are always other goals. When I was a kid, I just wanted to make my mom smile.

[Call that lame, if you will.]

I had more important goals as I grew up, passing the exam was only one. Obtain that, move on to the next one. Winding up in a world that wasn't my own? The new goal becomes going home or... I guess fitting in, instead.

Don't you have goals? Things you want out of life? Having a goal isn't so bad that once you obtain it you stop looking toward the next one.

[likeacoupon]

I do but sometimes they get fuzzy.

[She's still figuring things out.]

Haven't decided what I want to do here yet.

[alchemyfreak]

You don't think making that decision counts as a goal to have?

[She's a strange one, by his standards.]

[likeacoupon]

Maybe. I guess.

I'm not sure what answer you're looking for here.

[alchemyfreak]

Hey, you asked a question. Didn't realize I wasn't allowed to ask questions back.

[likeacoupon]

Are you upset that I don't have the answer to everything?

[alchemyfreak]

[Okay, now he's just laughing. Apparently the smirk wasn't indication enough.]

Do I honestly look upset to you? Besides, you're the one that started with all the questions and didn't seem very happy with my answers.

[So, who's the upset one here? He's amused.]

[likeacoupon]

I don't hate them.

[She's trying not to sound grumpy but it isn't working.]
