Winter, 2012. The prophesied date has come and past, and most miraculously, the world hasn't yet ended. As ever, tremors of a potential revolution and the thirst for constant innovation to solve the world's problems echo all throughout, but a new age hasn't really started either. It's almost as if the world seems to be in a slump -- everyone is just getting into their daily routine and never leaving it. Things seem dull enough that you have no reason to. Interesting things that might've once happened to you no longer do. When they do, it is sometimes unfortunate -- as with poor Timothy, who has a hospitalized crush and an unwritten novel. Or with Isaac, whose success has even hit a plateau, and he's no longer learning as much as he used to, or getting quite as much practice in.

It is a wonderful thing, then, when an invitation is broadcast globally -- vacations to Japan cheaper than any other destination. Sure, they're on cramped coach airplanes and you still have to pay expensive hotel fees to get there, but it's as good a time to take a vacation as any. It's all the more tempting because you can't walk five feet or watch more than one television show without seeing advertisements for the suddenly-burgeoning tourist industry of Japan. So, let's hear a bit more about your character, what's going on, whether they've managed to stave off the sudden and inexplicable boredom that seems to have cast a pall around the world... their thoughts on the Japan dealy. You know, that sort of thing.

"I'm both excited and nervous about my upcoming vacation...although the two could easily be one. It'll be so cool to be in Japan with my best friends, the ones who helped me out of the desperate situation I was in...to learn the ways of the Japanese and so forth. I just hope nothing goes wrong like in that little game called the NNA that we liked to play...naaaah, nothing's going to happen! You worry too much. That's all. Just push back the little voice in your head. There."

The auto shop is pretty quiet as of late. Not many people come by, and lately it's been cleaned so many times that the tool-covered workbenches almost reflect light again. All Melissa's had to do in the meantime is building little machines to keep her attention. Sometimes useful, sometimes just for amusement's sake, and sometimes simply to dismantle once they're completed. It feels like there's going to be nothing at all to do for a while, and she's running out of ideas.

So hey, why not have a vacation? Let the work build up a bit while she goes and gets a chance to blow off that excess energy. Besides, Benny and Jim can handle the shop for a while with the low number of people coming in. And Japan has been known for their interesting mechanical advances. The solution has presented itself, so why not make use of it?

Everything's kinda been going to hell lately for Timothy. He's almost done with his senior year, and he's been hit by a string of vurlybrace-caused bad luck. The novel he actually finished won't get accepted for publication, his car was rear ended by some tiny girl who couldn't drive a manual, and a few of his friends, including the girl he's had a crush on for a few years, were checked into the hospital lately for various injuries.

With everything stressing him out of the moment, he contemplates what he can do to settle down for a bit. Japan's been waved around the cameras lately, and he's always wanted to go there, be he doesn't know if he she go or not. He's got nothing else to do right now...

Paul's life is pretty empty at the moment. With education behind him for the moment, and no real obligations to tie him down, he's left at a loose end, with a long, unfulfilling summer stretching forth into the forseeable future. In this situation, the chance to abandon ship and head for Tokyo is a highly attractive one, and since apparently now is the ideal time to go, he figures it's an opportunity to seize. Of course, being alone in an insular, overcrowded country isn't so much fun, so it's fortunate that Timothy and Isaac are coming too. FUNTIMES AHOY

<Satonakaja> Hey guys, everything sucks right now. :c
<Satonakaja> One of my friends recommended I take a break and go take a vacation for cheap in glorious nippon.
<Satonakaja> Not really sure if I should, though. I'm thinking I should stay here until my friends get out of the hospital.

<Asema> You should anyway. Who's in the hospital again? Is it Kathleen? Because I'm pretty sure Kathleen is invincible.
<Asema> Of course, how good is your Japanese now? I can't actually go, so you'll need to look after yourself there. And doing that in Japan is sometimes thrilling.
<Asema> But on the other hand, sometimes it's just nervewracking.
<Asema> I'm gonna go get some coffee.

<Satonakaja> Yes, but she's not invincible. She did smash her leg in that crash.
<Satonakaja>[ and, um... I don't know. I took four years of Japanese as the teacher's pet of a really good instructor.../color]

<Trar> I AM BORED AGAIN
<Trar> MY LIFE IS STILL A DEAD END AS USUAL
<Trar> At least I have the Internet. Oh yesh, and i'm house-hunting now; as soon as I find 20,000 dollars I shall be free of the clutches of my family.
<Trar> Hey Timothy, how's your friends? Hope they're recovering well

<Satonakaja> I hope so too.
<Satonakaja> My friend said I should go to Japan too, but, um, I don't know if I should.

<Asema> You totally should, because like I said, I can't actually go.
<Asema> Got stuff to do, people to see, MegaTen games to buy.
<Asema> Of course, going to Japan would help with that last one.
<Asema> But still no. I have annoying, boring trades to ply.
<Asema> So... have fun, guys. Especially you, Han, because you're going.
