Hello, everyone. I know a lot of you are... busy getting ready for the draft and all, but- I was just curious.

[ There's worry in Serah's eyes, even if she isn't one of the names listed as being required to leave for battle... and even though she manages to just barely keep the full extent of her discomfort hidden, she also very nearly aborts the message then and there. In comparison to what so many people are having to worry about right now, this is just so silly...

Regardless, there comes a point where not even Serah's formidable drive to keep from inconveniencing people isn't strong enough to go against the sheer strength of her loneliness. Set on making this as un-awkward as possible, she takes a breath and pushes on. ]

You see, Fang's gone home, I guess, so ... is anyone looking for a roommate? I have a dog, if that matters, but otherwise... [ Again she makes a blank sort of look before quickly adding in a stronger smile- a bit forced given the situation all around, but a sincere attempt to ease the tension. ] Well, anyway, tell me if you're interested.

Well, you know, jokes are supposed to be funny.

[ Some retort, but oh well. Needless to say, the sisterly protectiveness actually goes both ways... and, with her wrecked mood still very much intact, Serah can't really find it in herself at the moment to be surprised at that last part there. ]

Maybe I'm just hitting up the wrong audience.

[ Seems that way. Hopefully he likes a dish full of sullen silence for the time being, rather than anything as helpful as another verbal response. ]

[originaljackass]

The whole silent thing. I take it that's a family trait, huh?

[changethepast]

Yeah... sure.

[ It's meant to be hard, but even without the way Serah usually acts to frame it, it's probably obvious that the attitude just doesn't come as easily to her as it does the older Farron sister. ]

[originaljackass]

You shouldn't have answered. It would've been funnier if you stayed silent.

[changethepast]

[ Have it your way, Jack- she won't be replying again, that's for sure. ]

[originaljackass]

Like that! Exactly!
