Okay, so, I just have to check something. Like, really check it. Because if this is real then hey -- totally on board and yay retirement! If not, someone just needs to burst my bubble now.

Is there really no graveyard? I don't want to know for morbid reasons. Totally professional ones. But, like, there isn't, right?

It's a work thing. Was a work thing. So long as there's no graveyard here, then I'm thinking it's time for a career change.

[inshallah]

What were you before?

What sort of things are you interested in doing now if you need to change?

[gr8muppetyodin]

Ah, walked around graveyards a lot. At night. It was a whole thing.

Anything. It's the first time I've ever had a choice in what I do.

[inshallah]

That sounds a bit creepy...

[ A few seconds later. ]

I don't mean to be rude.

What sort of things do you like? Do you know?

[gr8muppetyodin]

I'll be honest, it's hard not to make it sound creepy and I'm really bad at lying, so. Creepy it is.

Hey, I get it. I really do. And honestly, not the worst interaction I've ever had so you're cool. Not rude at all.

Ah, work wise? No idea. Like, I've never had a normal job. I do like dancing, shopping, working out, and punching things. I don't think there's a career that incorporates all of those, so I'm thinking flexibility is key.

[inshallah]

That's true. It is always good to be flexible but maybe there is something at a gym that would be active and fun.

[gr8muppetyodin]

That's a pretty good idea. Although apparently someone I know -- knew? -- from back home owns a club not unlike the one I used to go to growing up. She's offered me work there, and it would fit in with the trying new things scenario.

[inshallah]

Yeah. That would be a good start it sounds like.
There's always more options if it didn't work out.

[gr8muppetyodin]

What about you, you got it all figured out?

[inshallah]

I thought that I did but I admit I am mostly having to start over.

[gr8muppetyodin]

So fresh starts all around then. Sorry if that means you lost something good.

[inshallah]

No, I didn't really. It's more that I've realized some things that I did that were mistakes but I hope I can fix them eventually.

Fresh starts are good.

[gr8muppetyodin]

In my experience there's generally time. Although I haven't always been checked out in a strange city waiting to fix said mistakes, so, I'm just gonna keep my fingers crossed for you.

No arguments from me now that I know it's true.

[inshallah]

It's quite odd to think to be in a place like this and the possibilities it unravels for people. I hope things go well for you as well.

[gr8muppetyodin]

Don't forget to hit me up if you need another unintentionally creepy interaction.

[inshallah]

Or just another interesting conversation too,
yes?

[gr8muppetyodin]

Of course! If there's one thing I can do it's talk.

[inshallah]

I'm not always so great at talking but I do love to listen.
