Who: Anyone!
When: Day 41, Noon
Where: Common Room
What: Mingle!

[In the common room, there are large stacks of colored paper on a simple wood table, a bowl filled with all different types of writing tools, and a small sign.]

What do you desire?

[Feel free to draw or write or mingle. Kain may be around.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Your SILENCE attack has weakened! The Messenger can now use special attacks again.

Enemy Messenger uses ATTEMPT SPEECH.]

Should we move out of the main room?

[It really doesn't seem to register that he's still ON TOP OF YOU. He just shakes his head, weakly, the conflicted look coming back almost immediately]

No, I- I'm sorry-

[Resumes hair scritchings.] I'll try to be quiet a while.

[Goddd. He rests his forehead against your shoulder specifically so that he doesn't have to look directly at you anymore.

Everything is terrible. You don't even understand, everything is terrible!!]

[OKAY OKAY. I CAN DO THIS.]

[Goddd. LOOK AT YOUR LIFE, MESSENGER. LOOK AT YOUR CHOICES.

At great length he just shakes his head against you, weakly, voice muffled by your shirt]

Idiot... why?

[The hands in your hair turn soothing, petting down along the scalp and over the top of the braid.]

[It's obvious, of course, the longer the silence stretches out, that he's analyzed every single reason this is terrible and shouldn't have been allowed to happen, foreseen every single way this will go horribly wrong, mentally lambasted himself in every language he knows, and accomplished absolutely nothing in the way of moving away from you.]

[................................. OKAY I can't do it anymore.]

Okay, maybe scenario thirteen, but only if you buy me dinner first.

[... just lifts his head to stare down at you]

............ Stop that.

[Pauses, looks up at.]

[Were you expecting me to have something meaningful or articulate to say]

This is serious!

Oh. It is, certainly. I'm just reminding you that I'm far too annoying to be killed easily at all.

[Opens his mouth-

.... closes it.]

[You know what? Just pulls him down. It's far lighter than the small fightkiss earlier, really just more of a brush before letting Chrono go.]

[///// fffff I don't think you fully appreciate why this is terrible]

Ptou...

Mm?

[Quietly and apparently in DEFEAT]

You're an idiot.

So I've been told.

And yet you still do idiotic things like this.

And?

Lets be honest, my dear. There's absolutely no benefit to you to care for me either. In fact, more difficulties than anything else.

Even having said it plainly, does it change your mind?

[STOP LOGICING ME]

... No. Of course not.

[NO. TAKE IT AND LIKE IT.]

Well then, hopefully you have an opening for idiots in your life.

[FFFFFFffffffff. Finally, just slumps against you.]

Just one. I can't handle any more than that.

[SCRITCHSCRITCH]

I'm glad I got in line in time, then.
