Eighth Crash [Action/Voice]

{In today's episode Ginji can be found refilling a metal dish suspended from a tree with seed and peanuts. If you guessed "bird feeder", give yourself ten points! After making sure the feeder's still attached securely to its branch, Ginji will make himself comfortable on the lawn and pull out his journal. He'll sit there for a while, enjoying the fresh air and the milder weather, before starting a new entry.]

Hey everyone. So...what's it like for you back home? Do you come from a large family or a small one? Have you set out on your own or still live with your parents? Got any siblings? Kids?

I'd like to know.

[After the voice post is finished, he'll spend the next few hours watching any animals that might wander over to the feeder and run through a few sketches of different wing shapes.]

That's right. I used to have a younger brother, but I lost him years ago.

But the friends I've got now are Family to me. I have to admit I miss them, although I've got a couple of them here with me.

Sorry to hear that.

Having friends here does make it easier. But you're right. I don't think two people have to be related in any way to be like family to each another. Just looking around is proof enough.

People have the ability to connect to one another. That, I think is an incredible thing. You got anyone like that here?

You're right, although with some people it's not always easy to get them to open up.

I do, actually! Some friends from home are here, and there's other folks I've met since. My little sister arrived with me, but she left a while back.

Your little sister? I'm sorry t' hear you can't be with her, but from what I've gathered, it may actually be for the best?

Yes. I wouldn't wish being kidnapped on anyone. Least of all my sister.

You really never know what they'll do to you.

Have you ever been... ah, had it happen to you?

Fortunately, only once.

It wasn't so awful, but it's still kind of jarring. They send these machines out to fetch you and... it's hard to remember the exact details, but I think they must've given me something.

A friend's told me about 'em. Droids, I think they were called.

Hope you're all right, er... you've gotta excuse me. My name is Maiza.

That's right. And I'm Ginji, by the way.

Oh no, I'm fine. Afterwards I spent about a week as a kid, and then things went back to normal.

A pleasure to meet you, Ginji. It's good to hear that it was only temporary.

You too, Maiza. I really hope you won't have to worry about something like that anytime soon.

I hope so as well. If it was up to me I'd rather they take me than my friends, but they'll get angry if I let 'em hear that.

Maybe they would, but there're a lot of people who'd think the very same thing. When you look at it that way, there isn't so much to be angry about.

That's true. I suppose that's what happens when you're friends with good folks.

Yes. They're the best kind of folks.
