Condensation

"Alright, guess I'll go sleep, then." Andante heads for her room and the (hopefully) soft bed inside.

 Vivace ran into the town, searching for Aerith.

Hunter x Hunter maybe? Still swearing, but no explicit stuffs.

Demon Slayer has lots and lots and lots of blood. But it's really hecking good

Ok. What are they on? Like streaming service?

Define these parameters, because there's no such thing as a perfectly clean anime.

Preferably little swearing, none of the f weird, nothing explicit and as few references as possible. Think "I might be willing to show it to my twelve year old sister" kind of clean. And not just because she wouldn't get the references sort of thing. 

And no real genre in particular, although I love fantasy. I enjoyed a sort of anime on Netflix called Little Witch Academia? I dunno. 

 Do you know how much a plane ticket from Utah to New Mexico costs? 

So I'd like to watch anime, but I do have a couple of limitations. First of all, I have no idea what to watch! Second of all, it has to be available on a major streaming service. Essentially Netflix, Disney +, and Amazon. Also preferably free if it's on Amazon. Third, it absolutely must be clean. And as a preference? It would be nice if it weren't subtitled. I can do subtitles, though.

No! I love all vampires. Like Coldest Girl in Coldtown? SO GOOD. And yeah, I like Twilight. The books, not the movies. I also enjoyed Vampire Academy, the House of Night, Dracula, Thirst, and many other amazing vampire books. I love vampires. Not just Twilight vampires. 

We do Christmas insanely. I love all of the Christmas spirit! 

However, I do have one story. 

Our family's tradition is to cut down our own tree every Christmas. There are permits you can get, and you go up into the mountains where the trees are and play in the snow, pick a tree, eat soup and drink hot cocoa... the last bathroom before you go up the snowy canyon road is at a large parking lot, there's usually a good bit of snow. We all get it and stretch our legs and use the bathroom, just like any other year. At first, I think I don't have to use the bathroom. But as we wait, it gradually builds until I think I need to go to the bathroom really badly. I get out of the car and go use the bathroom...

But while I'm in there, my entire extended family loads up and drives away. I get out of the bathroom and realize this, and I panic. There's no one around, I have no idea where my family will go, and it's getting cold - I left my coat in the car, although I brought my snowboards, gloves, and such. I sit on a big rock where I'll be easily visible if my family comes back, and I kind of have a panic attack? I don't really show it - I'm crying a little bit but nothing big - but inside I'm freaking out, doing all the things a little kid does when their family leaves them behind. I'm watching for cars, and I decide to say a prayer. I pray (a really fast one while still looking out of one eye at the road) and a gray minivan pulls into the parking lot. A family spills out, parents and a good many kids, and the mom notices me and comes over. She's worried, I tell her about what happened, and she... well, she's a mom. She wants to help me out. So she takes me over to her husband (normally I wouldn't have gone with her except I felt the Spirit plus she had a bunch of kids) and she explains to him what happened. He decides to drive up the road looking for our family's cars while she stays with me. And apparently, as they're driving up, they pass my grandparents' car and get them to pull over, then they drive down together. Everything ends up well, and now I can tease them about how I'm apparently so forgettable to them.

You're right, not all cats love you. But really... all dogs? I sincerely doubt that.

I obviously want to be a vampire. Which kind of vampires are they, like which attributes? Twilight vampires with indestructible skin? Dracula vampires who die by the sun?... Yeah

Vivace sighed. "Fine, but I'm running, and you'd better keep up." She began jogging across the aquamarine grass.

 Okay, this looks really epic and everyone knows I adore vampires. I want to join. Do you have any premise for the story more than "people are coming to hunt the vampires"? Not saying it's bad if you don't, just wondering.

"I don't rightly know," Pior said with a shrug. "He was supposed to meet us here."

"Hmmm. Well, he'd best hurry, or I'll leave him behind!"

Chorale seemed to startle, beginning to pay attention. No, you won't. 

Hah, Vivace said. Thought that would get your attention. Yes, I am leaving him if he's not here fast enough. 

What if he's in trouble? 

What if he's not? 

Vivace looked at Pior. "Well, seems like someone objects to that idea. Wanna go find him?"

That sounds like something I can do.

But look, I had a question. In my country, you go to junior college at 16 or 17. Like the 11th and 12th grades are not counted as high school, but as something called junior college. So will I be an adult when I go to junior college, or when I turn 18?

 When you turn 18.

Most every dog will love you reguardless, your own cat would betray you for a bite of food.

Mmm... no mine wouldn't. And not "most every dog". A lot of dogs I've met are very territorial. My cat would rather stay on my lap than move for tuna juice, his favourite treat. 

A lot of cats are misunderstood because they have a harder time with new people or grew up terribly. People tend to mistreat cats more than dogs because they assume that the cat doesn't care, but my cats receive so much love and I've even rehabilitated one who grew up in a bad environment. They are so affectionate. 

Sorry this is my soapbox.

 Sure? Whatever works. 

 Vivace walked out and sat next to Pior as a human. "Since you can't understand the subtleties of my speech... anyway. Where's Aerith?"

go to jail

*yeets*

(This is meant in fun)

"What the flip are yous trying to say to me?" Poir placed his hands on his hips. "Ya know, I feel that I'm doing all of the work in this conversation, because you're close off. Yes, closed off, that's you."

 Vivace snorted loudly. Hilarious. One sec, okay?  She trotted behind a tree.

HELP I'M ADULTING

tryin' to figure out colleges and scholarships and whatnot. I had a bunch of colleges email me today.

I made a spreadsheet. I think I might be doomed.

So wait, is it Lee or Li? I've always been kinda confused about that.
