I can fly on a dog [SERIA]

[Seria Floria]

Seria smiled as she gave Nia some room to get accustomed to the new undergarments she borrowed, though she did point out that the bra felt a bit tight. Was it too small? What exactly was Nia implying? Seria wasn't too sure about that but she wasn't sure she liked it either. Then, Nia asked Seria what dorm she was from. "Me, I am from the Nature Dorm." Seria simply answered straight to the point. No waffling around here, no ma'am. In fact, Seria had encountered Nia like this already, she hadn't remembered what she was wearing prior to this that would clue her in to what dorm she was from.

Seria now wondered if Nia was in the same dorm as her. If she was, how come Seria never saw her? She'd find out anyways, if it came to that. Seria was an inquisitive mind. She liked asking questions. Except when she didn't.

[Nia Mckelleigh]

"Oh. Me too." She nodded once before heading out of the alcove as she then suddenly leaped into the water. Or well, she leaped into it and just begun to float around. It was the most she could really do when alone in the water alone without her floaties. So she just begun to look to the sky, whistling a silent tune to herself.

Hmm. Eh, this was boring. So she moved her eyes back to the alcove, looking towards it as she then waved her stumps. "Come on! The water's great. Expect if you dislike really good warmed water."

[Seria Floria]

Before Seria could ask Nia why she never saw her then, the armless girl went out of the alcove and leaped into the water... And ended up floating around. Seria pitter-pattered over to where Nia was and let herself get all nice and wet in the water as well after putting her bag in the alcove. "Hey, wait, I was just going to ask you, if you are in the same dorm as me, how come I never see you around? Do you go out often or just stay in most of the time?" Seria asked softly after staying a good distance closer to Nia to make sure that she would be alright if she wanted to go deeper out away from the shore.

"I suppose you do go out period though since I wouldn't have seen you here otherwise." Seria mused out loud, stating the obvious.

[Nia Mckelleigh]

"I stay in my room for most of the time, considering my roomie goes out and handles the groceries and stuff, mostly. And considering I don't even really have that much to do considering a lot of activities need... Uh, hands." She nodded, slowly but surely floating over to deeper territory as she assured herself that Seria would follow.

"But eh. I got stuff to do anyways. Like painting. And painting. And painting. And listening to music while painting, and then painting some more. And maybe eating some pizza after a while." She snickered once more, sinking her head underwater for a while before pulling it back out.

[Seria Floria]

Seria nodded as she listened to what Nia had to say, noticing that she was slowly floating over to deeper territory, and when Seria realized this the first thing she did was to quickly waddle over and follow her to make sure to keep her afloat in case things went wrong. Nia mentioned one thing in particular that stuck out like a sore thumb, and that was the fact that she enjoyed painting. "So does that mean you paint with your feet? That's really inspiring," Seria exclaimed, visibly impressed that she was able to paint as a passion and not give up despite her lack of two arms. "And also quite impressive. You should let me see your artwork sometime, I'd like to see how it looks." she followed it up with that, of course.

Naturally someone else would want to see, right? Besides, Seria was in the same dorm, so it's not like it was far away or out of the way or something. Seria continued to swim by Nia to make sure she wouldn't drown or anything. Since it seemed she usually came out here with floaters.

[Nia Mckelleigh]

"I'm not that good." She frowned a bit, letting out a slight "psh" as she blew some of her now wet hair from her face. "Like... I mean. You can probably mostly understand what's in the picture. But it's not good good. Just... Average." She nodded, continuing to float along for a while, whistling silently.

"And yeah, I paint with my feet. Actually, I do most of the things I do with them." She proceeded to slowly but surely eke herself onto a lying possition, resting her back against the water as she kept floating there, looking up to the blue sky.

"What do you do?"

[Seria Floria]

Seria watched as Nia began to try and wiggle herself onto a lying position, letting herself float on the water and look up into the blue sky. Well, Seria would still be interested in looking at Nia's art even if she thought it wasn't that good. "Even if you don't think you're that good, I still think it's commendable that you're able to do most things with your feet. I mean, people often joke about it, but to think that you need to use your feet to do most things just to live... Well... I think it's pretty inspiring, as I said," Seria said. Then, Nia asked her what she did.

"Me? What do I do? Well... I'm mostly reading books, I guess. Trying to better myself and increase my knowledge so I can one day tussle with legendary Pokemon. You catch my drift?"

[Nia Mckelleigh]

"I can respect that." She pondered for a while. Maybe she should... Yeah, she should. It wouldn't hurt. It was legal, after all. "So... Uh. You ever smoked incense?" She bit her lower lip after, squeezing her eyes together for a while. "For like. You know, relaxation purposes. Or well. Not illegal, you know, not THOSE types of incenses. Or well. I think anyways, none of mine were bought from a shady dealer."

Okay, that could have gone a bit better, definitely. Now she might just seem like a some sortta ragamuffin. Well, maybe she could parse up the situation.

[Seria Floria]

Nia soon asked Seria if she ever smoked incense. "Incense? I'm afraid I do not understand what you mean by incense. You mean the thing that people smoke and it makes them go into some sort of high? I'm afraid I'm not into that sort of thing," Seria tilted her head, scratching her head. Though Nia did clarify that it was not the illegal type of incense. "Though when you say that it is not illegal, are you implying that there are non-illegal variants of this substance? I am confused." Seria said, scratching her head.

"Though if you can explain to me so I can learn more, that would perhaps be quite nice."

[Nia Mckelleigh]

"Well. Uh. Incense. As in sticks made out of a certain material, that when burnt, usually emits a rather... Uh, relaxing scent that you then enjoy while doing something. Or a pot where you proceed to gather a lot of dust and then put up a lid with holes in it, and then burn that. Most of them are legal... Uh, I usually prefer cinnamon. It relaxes you while you do other stuff."

"But there's... Uh, illegal variants. Like, stuff that can get you into a bit more of a haze than just from normal, legal incense that just lulls you into a more relaxed state."

[Seria Floria]

"Er... People use incense for that? I mean I know what actual incense is, because we use it for funerals, but I mean... We, er, we, being my family, but... Yeah..." Seria nodded sheepishly, taking in the fact that apparently there were also illegal variants that pretty much did what Seria just asked about. "I didn't know that people used incense to sniff them and then they feel relaxed after that. I guess usually because when my family used them it was for more sombre moments."

Seria scratched her head as she nodded, taking in the new information. "I guess you do learn something new every day." Seria said to Nia, smiling warmly.

[Nia Mckelleigh]

"Yeah. Uh, I usually pop one whenever I paint, or when I feel like it. Usually I go to the forest near the dorms to do that." She nodded, thinking about it for a while before blinking. "Uh, and I go to the party pier. There's this small corner that's usually taken by people who are more chill than... Usual. Like. Reggae and stuff, with some incense homemade."

"The illegal variants are usually... Pretty hard to find. Not like I know about that, uh. But I had a friend who knew when I went to school somewhere else than here."

[Seria Floria]

"So I guess it helps for you to relax, eh? And you go to the forest near the dorms to do that? Hmm, maybe, that explains why I smell things out of the ordinary at times when I walk through the forest. Anyway, those guys at the small corner at the party pier sound kinda shady to me. You sure they're a safe bunch to be around?" Seria said, more concerned for Nia's wellbeing rather than the implications of there being a place where people essentially tried to emulate themselves getting high.

"Well, even if it does relax you a lot, you should be careful. I dunno what will happen if you keep sniffing on that kind of stuff. Won't it be bad for you in the long run?" Seria came up with a follow up question, still floating next to Nia though she was standing instead of floating on her back.

[Nia Mckelleigh]

"Well. Uh, there's been some studies coupling that with things like cancer but... Eh. I'm already armless, I won't lose much if I die a bit earlier than usual." Wow. That sounded a lot more depressing than she thought it would have. Very, very depressing. Angsty too. She should fix the mistake.

"Uh... Like, I don't wish for death. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to breathe and stuff. Just, uh. I don't really care if I DIE a bit early and all. It's like. Uh. Hard to explain, you'd understand a lot better if you had my disposition on life."

"That sounded a bit judgemental didn't it."

[Seria Floria]

"Er... I'm sorry, I'm just trying to... I understand. Not having arms, it must be difficult when you can't experience the same things everybody else can in the same way. I can understand how sometimes it might be upsetting or at times frustrating, if you ever feel that way at times," Seria said, sighing. "Just... just don't worry about it. I was being too imposing. I apologize," she continued, looking out into the horizon at this point.

"But I don't really like talking about death like that so casually and randomly." she said, looking a bit serious. "Sure, the only people I knew who ever passed away were relatives of my parents who I only saw on a semi-regular basis, but it was still sad, for me, to have to see them go. I only met you just now but I already think it'd be sad if you suddenly up and died on me, kapiche?"
