I've never been a sister before. I've never been anything to anyone before.

When we met, we didn't get along. I don't want to ruin it now.

How do I be a good sister? Is there something I could study?

[ surely assuming Aloy is too much of a hermit to use the network and doesn't need to be locked out of the post is not going to bite her later. ]

[ ah. hm. ]

It is not hard. It requires listening and unconditional support.

[nobetawedielike]

I do want to support her. But what if she wants to do something that would hurt her?

[nilhilistic]

Then you become her shield. So that she does not come to harm.

[nobetawedielike]

What if she's the type to [ how does she put this nicely ] do what she wants no matter what anyone says?

Trust and patience will get you very far. Are you the big sister or the little sister?

[nobetawedielike]

I'm younger. She was gestated around 3 years before me, if my data is correct.

[—gestated, hm, alright.]

Ah, in that case, what providence! The younger siblings are permitted to make more mistakes. My sisters and I had nothing in common when we met, but we reached an accord eventually. You might try to find common ground!

[nobetawedielike]

Well...we're clones of the same person. That's a starting commonality.

I mean, isn't the word 'good' very subjective in cases like these?

It would depend on your own idea of it, and your sibling's idea of it. Being a good sister means way different things to different people.

[nobetawedielike]

I suppose...The kind of sister that someone would want around? And come to in time of trouble.

[ it's not any less subjective but listen sometimes you're a clone grown in total isolation and family is a sitcom tv concept ]

[entreats]

That doesn't sound that difficult. All you'd have to do is make sure that you're around when your sibling needs it, or when they are in danger.

[ .. maybe that's not as simple as Ange is making it sound, considering the danger involved, but-- look, Ange thinks that aspect of it is easier than the social aspect! ]

I could know. I have a big brother who gets himself into trouble constantly. It's really troublesome.

[nobetawedielike]

She definitely gets into a lot of trouble too. Aloy is very stubborn.

[As someone who only discovered his own sibling in recent years, Kurt is excited to see someone else experience something like it and feels particularly optimistic about things working out.]

You got a sibling now? Sweet! That's totally awesome.

It's not exactly something you can study from a book. LOL! But if anything, you should study your sibling. I feel one of the keys is being there for each other. And if you try to take the effort to really understand your sibling, that can go a long way! Especially if you start off on the wrong foot.

[nobetawedielike]

My sister arrived when the coffins showed up!

I've watched recordings of nearly her entire life...I suppose I could go through those again and study them.

[digthefuzz]

Wow, that's cool! Probably kind of spooky because of the coffins, but I'm glad you got to reunite. It's about time they decided they'd be coffin up a sister for you!

Oh. Now that's a tool most siblings don't have access to! I'm sure it can help, but be careful with it. I think she'd want you to be cool with her privacy too.

[nobetawedielike]

[ the true tragedy is she doesn't recognize a pun when she sees one ]

I've already watched it. Is that bad?

[thenicerone]

...

No, I don't think so. The important thing is to be there for them.

[nobetawedielike]

I would like to be, I just worry. She's the more capable of us. Most anything she could already do for herself.

[thenicerone]

Then should something bad happen, she also knows she can go to you right?

[baldrshand]

Well, that's a good question. Are you an older sister, or a younger sister? Or are you twins?

[nobetawedielike]

Younger. We were created three years apart.

[baldrshand]

]Created...?]

That makes you her little sister, then. (Even if you're grown.)

I think one important duty of younger siblings is not to let their elders take themselves too seriously. At least that's how I always saw it... I don't think my brother always agreed.

[yeah, she's not wanting Jinx to see any of this conversation. LMFAO.]

not really the best person to ask on how to be a good sister, but...

love them unconditionally. love them like there's no tomorrow. accept their flaws, and who they want to be.

[it's. from experience Beta LMFAO]

text, private.

[nobetawedielike]

I can't stop her from being herself if I tried. I thought it was a bad thing when we met, but now I wish I could be more like that.

[grappler]

you can always learn something from your sister. even when you think you've learned it all, she'll show you something new.

are you the younger or older sister?
