[Nobori looks quite pleased today; it's not just a polite smile, he genuinely sounds happier too. Almost cheery.]

Ladies and gentlemen, it is the first of the month, therefore, it is time to list the new arrivals!

New arrivals this month:

1. Pinoko
2. Rayflo
3. Kelly Severide
4. Lacus Clyne
5. Laruna Troven

If I may go off-course for a moment, now that we have reached the end of this line, I would like to ask you a question! It's not necessary to answer it as it has nothing to do with the record I keep, and it is somewhat more personal... but, it would mean a lot to me if you would answer it:

What is your destination of choice when you want a good diversion?

[And, because no video post is complete without it, his signature pointing-and-calling:] Safe driving! Follow the schedule! All aboard!

Comments

[Through this Yin notices she missed one. Luckily, she's incapable of feeling bad for it.]

Diversion? From the City? [She doesn't have one. She kind of lives in repression.]

[Video]

[brothertragedy]

A place to relax and have fun, in other words.

[... nor does he, honestly. It's why he's asking.]

[lawbender]

I enjoy the dojo. Do you spar?

[seriousheat]

You gonna make a list every month?

[Video]

[brothertragedy]

Ah, no... but it can't hurt to join. It should help keep me in shape. I enjoy the discipline.

[He's not very strong, but he is very fast. He'd be eager to learn, if classes are offered!]

[Video]

[brothertragedy]

Yes.

[It is his job here, now.]

[Video]

[moonlitrequiem]

[Fortunately, while she doesn't really get it, she's seen people doing what Nobori describes.]

Some people lay out in Xanadu, or just take strolls through there. Others go to the library and read. Are either of those an interest to you?

[Video]

[seriousheat]

Fair enough. [ Severide doesn't really mind, at any rate. Just strikes him as a little strange. ]

The bedroom. Or bathroom.

[Video]

[brothertragedy]

[Well, that's a relief! He's had to deal with one too many people who found it creepy.]

It gives me something to do. That is a good thing to have, isn't it?

[Video]

[seriousheat]

Yeah, staying busy's important. [ He should know, the months after his surgery had driven him pretty much mad. ]

[Raikov, get out.

If you were looking to surprise and fluster Nobori, you'll be happy to know that you've succeeded in getting what you want.]

That— that was not the sort of diversion I had in mind!

Switch tracks! Do not proceed!! [Complete with frantic gesturing! Until he remembers one arm is still healing when it hurts him (the tears in his sleeve are finally sewn up). Oh, well, it was kind of funny to watch, at least!]

A sound mind rests in a sound body.

I am considering shunting a new car to my track. Something new to keep me busy and benefit me in the future.

[Video]

[seriousheat]

Your track?

[Video]

[brothertragedy]

The track I travel upon. Where I had been, I was a conductor responsible for many tracks and many lines. Where I am now, I am a conductor responsible for only one chosen track and it is the very same one I travel upon. It is a journey with no known destination, but many stops and intersections. Our rails cross here.

[Train metaphors. He's rather fond of them.]

[Video]

[seriousheat]

[ Really. Train metaphors. That's one big one right there and Severide isn't exactly a train lover. (He doesn't mind them. He just doesn't care.) ]

So you're looking for a new job?

[majorcrotchgrab]

[Raikov suppresses a smirk]

Then what kind of diversion did you mean?

[valentineluke]

Making a destination list for newcomers?

[Video]

[brothertragedy]

[Nobori will grate on your nerves eventually, then, Severide! He's exactly the kind of enthusiast who will work all day in the subway and attend subway conventions when he's got time off. Trains are his life!]

Another job or another hobby, yes.

[Video]

[seriousheat]

[ Probably sooner rather than later. ]

Anything in mind?

[Video]

[lawbender]

The discipline is what would save your life in a fight, should it come to that. I'd recommend it.
