Summer Open Post As we know, I love my AUs and PSLs! I love exploring worlds and discovering how little changes can tumble and create big changes. My characters are top-leveled but feel free to add your own and let me know if there's someone you'd like! ♥

Good, I'm glad to know that. One of my life goals has been completed then.

[noreasonneeded]

Do I get to help set the next one?

[callmeles]

Do you have anything in mind?

[noreasonneeded]

Let’s see. You’ve accomplished always being a menace to me, and also fetching my hat when it gets lost.

[Of course he’s going to try and find a goal that also does him a solid.]

Ensuring my whiskey flask always stays full? Spell so I never have to sleep? Soundproofing Jesper and Wylan’s door?

[callmeles]

[ She snorts at the first response. Naturally. ]

The soundproofing I can absolutely do next time I'm there.

I've never been able to keep my flask full no matter how hard I've tried and unfortunately, sleep is not something I can control. Though, I have also tried that too. Multiple times.

[noreasonneeded]

Soundproofing it is, then. I'm glad I get to help you keep finding purposes in life.

[callmeles]

You know I hate being bored and rather have many projects instead of one. Besides, I already have something handy for the soundproofing.

Living in an apartment, it's handy when I don't have to hear my neighbors or traffic outside all the time.

[noreasonneeded]

Oddly, Ketterdam's street traffic from outside my window doesn't bother me. I only really notice it when I'm traveling and it's missing. Otherwise, it's just part of my background noise.

[callmeles]

Fair, some people use fans for white noise and others use street traffic. Makes sense.

Living close to the Quarter, there are nights when I don't want to hear everything going on for all hours of the night.

[noreasonneeded]

I live in the Barrel, I more than get it. Although some of that illicit talk and loud fire can lead to quite intriguing leads.

[callmeles]

Isn't that the truth. In fact, just the other night I heard a couple of interesting rumors that I plan to look into.

One might prove promising.

[noreasonneeded]

See? Pays to leave the window open sometimes.

[callmeles]

It was mostly because I wanted to listen to the rain.

Okay and that too.

[noreasonneeded]

Is rain your white noise?

[callmeles]

I never thought of it like that but yeah, it is.

[noreasonneeded]

It's a common enough sound in New Orleans and Ketterdam. Repetition breeds habit, habit breeds comfort and all that.

[callmeles]

When you put it like that, not so unusual then. Likely explains why I enjoy places like London and Seattle.

[noreasonneeded]

People aren’t that hard to understand, if a little effort and attention is paid.

[callmeles]

And according to a quick online search, it is one of the most popular white noise sounds for people.

And here I thought I was just unique.

[ She's teasing, she had no expectations of such. ]

[noreasonneeded]

Now I’m wondering what are the most outlandish sounds people use for white noise. I feel listening to street crime is probably high on that list.

Maybe metal grinding in a laundry machine. Anyone who found that soothing I’d question.

[callmeles]

Me too.

Not sure I could trust anyone who finds metal grinding in a laundry machine as soothing or loose change in a laundry machine.

I bet people do listen to stories about true crime though. Or violent games.

[noreasonneeded]

The stories I can see far more than any grinding, yeah. Even if the content is macabre, a voice is usually less grating than metal in a washer.

Funny though how everyone it seems knows what that sound is like. Every washing machine has met pants with change in their pockets, apparently.

[callmeles]

Me too.

Because my curiosity won out, I had to look this up. Apparently... scratching is an ASMR thing that people like? I'm not sure I could get behind that one.

My eye twitches just thinking about it.

[noreasonneeded]

I'm with you, I don't find scratching a comforting sound. Some scratching doesn't bother me, like fingers scratching through clothing, but I wouldn't seek it out.

[callmeles]

Agreed. There are some scratching sounds that aren't too bothersome but it's nothing I would seek out to help me sleep.
