Oi!
[ Their eyes widen. It almost seems like familiarity. They bound over with a happy expression. He doesn't have to lean down much. ]
I was gonna have a late night snack! I got Churu.. Charapaki chocolate! Do you want to try it with me?
> TURN ON THE LIGHTS
Upon turning on the lights, you see...
โ...โ
..A small child at the corner of the entrance to the Babel's kitchen. They seem to still be observing you as if you did nothing.
Perhaps you should talk to it.
[>INTERACT]
@LCB_Onegin [ They dig around their pockets. They pull out a little green bag. They kept this safely, but not their wallet..? ]
Lotte Green Grape Candy..! You can have it..!
@LCB_Onegin You found it..! Thank you, this is my third one..!
[ Their eyes are watery, but they are grateful. They scamper over to Eugene. They bow quickly, first, before retrieval. ]
Thank you very much..! I'm so sorry..! I don't have much to repay you.. but..
@VenatorisPraeda I like parties..! When you cook for your friends, and you get to see the happy expression on their face.. it makes it all worth it.
And dressing up is fun! I've always wanted to go to a tailor.
[ There is awe in their eyes. ]
Let's go..! Before the day is over..!
@LCDSecretary For me..? I couldn't..! I haven't given you a gift either..!
If your hands are cold, then maybe we can both hold it..? Then we'll both warm up!!
It's so cold..! I was trying to wash the dishes, but now my hands are freezing..
I guess I really have to bundle up..! Maybe I can get a kotatsu.. I always wanted one..
@bradwr_modredus Right..? She said it's dangerous to sleep outside.. in the back street.. or, alley..? I think..
I used to sleep outside a lot..! It's nice, when the sun is out, so the grass is really warm..! I guess it's chillier now, so inside naps are better..
@rightdooropened [ Their eyebrows furrow, unhappily. It's hard to tell if they understood Francine's warning. ]
I see..
[ They sniffle. It doesn't seem this ended happily. ]
I'll try..
@T0WN0FSEAHAVEN [ They wave their hands with delight. ]
Right..? It's a cap, but the top looks like ice cream.. and then there's a cherry..! There's a part for a straw too. And- if you're already blue, you can be a melon soda..!
Ehehe, I have lots of costumes, maybe we should match one day..!
@T0WN0FSEAHAVEN It's funny, isn't it..! Kyahaha!
[ They hop in place. They seem happy. ]
The armor, the one with the pochette, they make lots of costumes. So I've collected a lot..!
I have one with a cherry on top, you can try it sometimes, and be a cream soda..!
@rightdooropened [ Then, they smile. ]
I always wanted to try it..! A wallet chain! They're really fashionable. I guess I can't sleep outside too much anymore.. but if the weather's nice, maybe I should get one..!
@rightdooropened [ Their expression droops. It is unsure of what - either the tone used, or the content. ]
That's a little scary.. isn't it..
[ He considers saying something, then stops. The hem of his jacket is fidgeted. Their nails are longer than the start of the conversation. ]
@SeventhAnguish I'll try..! It's hard with the food drought you guys have.. but everyone's nice to me, so they let me try their snacks..! There's a lot of places in the City to eat..!
I got this cooking oil from my friend, so, I think I'll try frying something soon..!
I'm having teriyaki and rice..! It's simple, but I made some miso on the side. It's really good..! I'm thinking I could eat some persimmon after.. they're in season this time of year, aren't they..?
@LCDSecretary Yay..! It might take me a while if the words are too hard, but I've written a few songs before..! I'm sure I can learn this one..! Then, maybe we can make a mini-band..! Hehe..
