As simple of an answer as you’d think. They’re for greetings, first meeting people, agreements. I broke a guy’s hand after I learned people respect a firm handshake and I made mine a little too firm.

@Revolutionary

*Raises both of my eyebrows*
That’s... yeah, wow.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

It wasn’t easy for me. I’ll say that much.

@Revolutionary

What’d you find out about the handshakes?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Learning for the first time what handshakes are for. What money is for and why people use it. What a wink means. The eternal learning of all the different meanings behind the inflection and emphasis in people’s voices when they speak.

@Revolutionary

I feel like the voice part would be either really easy or really hard.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Yes. Even loads of trivial stuff you probably take for granted, and that I probably take for granted now. There was mysterious wonder in literally everything.

@Revolutionary

Give me an example?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Mm… The awe was probably the one thing.

@Revolutionary

Of everything being new?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I’m glad. I don’t get to reminisce often. It’s fun to think about the good times, but I like me now way more.

@Revolutionary

Was there anything better about your time back then?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Thanks! Hope you enjoyed the life story.

@Revolutionary

I did! I listen to a lot of stories, and that’s not the kind of journey I get to hear about very often.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

We do, now. Pretty often in fact.

@Revolutionary

That’s cute. I’m glad that everything has worked out for you two.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

It was. I learned afterward that my dad was confident in the lessons he learned from his mistakes with Omega, and didn’t want to personally tamper with my growth. I’m happy to know he’s proud of how it all turned out.

@Revolutionary

Do you two talk?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I admittedly didn’t get to know him super well. On my journey, I interacted with no one from this group, not even my own dad. So whenever I would have interacted with Lunar, I would have been at my maximum level of cluelessness…
BUT, now, I say Lunar is a pretty cool guy.

@Revolutionary

Isolated. Was that on purpose?
