JANUARY MINGLE | OPEN

[oneandmikleonly]

[It's a new year! Well, by the fragile construct of calendar time we're creating on this planet, anyway.

Here's a an open mingle for all your January needs! Are you trying to stalk our new alien stalkers back, or reach out to them, or fight them? Building? Exploring the biomes, for fun and/or to uncover more about our alien friends? Researching? Hugging URSULA? Raising Birdogs or getting involved with other wildlife? Making or breaking resolutions? OTHER? Whatever it is you're doing, you can put it here.

Don't forget to check the OOC plotting post to see what's going on and get involved with missions!]

Modesty is not something I was made to display.

[there is knowing her place, after all, knowing what was required.]

He took on the trials and struck down the evil. He made the decision to do so. I would follow him and my purpose regardless.

[it's difficult to explain, when to her it's as clear as the fact that they're underwater. tools are not heroes.]

I....do not understand how I could have made the choice to help when helping is what I do.

[hatamon]

If he was here, I bet he'd be the first to say there's no way he could have done any of it without you.

[Confidently, since understanding partnerships is something he feels pretty secure in. Fi downplaying her own contributions is like saying Patamon doesn't really matter because he was all but engineered to be by Takeru's side.]

Maybe it's hard to imagine because of the kind of person you are, but isn't it possible you could have resented your purpose and walked away?

[guidance]

That is impossible. My purpose is a fact of my existence.

[she's never been without it. even here, she knows the task she was built for had succeeded. so walking away? something that just doesn't exist in any reality.]

[hatamon]

[For a moment he looks like he might contest the point, but a debate on the nature of free will when he doesn't actually know about her life is probably a step too far. He smiles and holds up a hand in acquiescence.]

Okay. [Maybe not entirely convinced.] But no matter how you look at it, helping to save the world is still really impressive.
