[A teenage girl in Aristophanes colors, having just clawed her way out of the ball pit, is now sitting on the pit's edge with her head in her hands.]

Comments

[unexpectedboner]

Yeah...it happens, no worries. We don't really have any headache stuff, but...it'll probably work itself out?

[basemettle]

I'll be fine, I'll be fine. Shall we go?

[unexpectedboner]

Yeah.

[and they head off into Aristophanes territory, winding through the narrow streets seemingly without reason or rhyme, just to throw off any followers]

So...I don't really remember much about last year, should I...?

[basemettle]

Is that so... I don't...I feel like I don't remember much at all... Is it the same? For everyone?

[unexpectedboner]

Yeah, so far as I know. Just some vague stuff. But I figure you'll know something when you do it and feel it!

[basemettle]

Vanished, all vanished, just like that...and yet...and yet...

[basemettle]

We'll see, won't we? This year...it will be our year. Won't it? Yes, it will. Ours...

[unexpectedboner]

Of course! It won't be like last year, or the year before, or...you know.

So uh, what do you do?

[basemettle]

It's best to start from hope in this regard, don't you think? At any rate, I'll be being your...

[She leans in to whisper in his ear]

Edificer.

[unexpectedboner]

So you...make stuff...?

[basemettle]

I build.

[unexpectedboner]

Out of what? I hope it's clothes or buildings, because we have a lot of those.

[basemettle]

Anything is fine. But it's no good if all of our goods are used up on an arm or building, right? Mmm, but repairing the buildings we already have shouldn't take too much...

[unexpectedboner]

Can you make a building out of another building? Like, a quickchange magic trick kinda thing?

[basemettle]

No matter what the details, if it's a building you want, I'll need to feed.

[unexpectedboner]

Okay. Well, whenever you need, you can take me. Because we're family, right?

[he reaches for her hand, what a gentleman! and at present he smells really good! not like soap-good but more like something you would want to eat-good]

[basemettle]

[taking his hand and leaning in to huff him.]

Can I...? Really?

[unexpectedboner]

I wouldn't lie to you. That's not what I feed on.

[basemettle]

[what an accurate icon for what she's doing to Junpei right now]

Ahahaha, of course...! Then, what do you feed on?

[unexpectedboner]

Fluids. But you don't really have to worry about that.

[basemettle]

Fluids... If that's the case, then this will be mutually beneficial. That's the best case, don't you think?

[unexpectedboner]

Mutual benefit means no one gets hurt. That always works for me!

[basemettle]

[so Junpei

how do you feel about new sisters trying to kiss you on the mouth]

[unexpectedboner]

[praise the mother]

[basemettle]

[slipping Junpei some tongue, naturally. fluids eaters gotta eat.]
