[Sometimes, it just be like that.

She nods, though. And after digging through her pockets for a square of paper, she unfolds it to reveal a four leaf clover tucked inside.]

This appeared in my hand after I used color on the back alley wall. What do you make of it?

[graverot]

[oh. the emotion share is just immediate, stark fear. and a surprising bolt of anger, twinged with something sad.]

...That's. Quite the lucky clover.

[graverot]

[don't worry about it! no, he will explain.]

...Before I came here, my home was a graveyard. I buried them, tended to them. It's a nice reminder. I was pretty fond of some of the old families we had resting in my care.

[pura]

[Ah... She startles, caught off guard by that emotional response.]

... It doesn't feel so lucky right now. [A beat, her surprise giving way to concern.] Are you okay?

[re: just a motion blurred photo of yams and vax tackling aymeric and clarte while they try to die off schedule. help. there is no caption.]

...

[pura]

They're trying to kill each other, after all.
And even worse...

That person is here.

[rindude]

maybe...itll wear off soon?
wait what person?

[graverot]

[...taking a big, giant firbolg breath, and some calm returns.]

...I'm okay. [...] You know how sometimes I say things give me a bad feeling? Yeah. That gives me a bad feeling.

[baalislife]

It would be, if it were not something that was expected of me.

Patience is one of the many things that is expected of a ruler. Fiery tempers give you little control.

[pura]

Any way to make it unlearn stuff? It's not like this is what we wanted...

[pura]

... Right.

You should think about it. Who else would be on the internet?

[pura]

[imagine a world where i got this notif

Skatepark works, tho! Nogiku stops a few paces away from whatever part of the park he's using, watching him with a look of mild curiosity. She's genuinely impressed he hasn't eaten shit? Amazing.]

[pura]

...
Yeah.
You, too.

[pura]

[A shake of her head.]

No... That's alright. To be honest, it's hard to work up an appetite right now.

[fretbro]

[look, he's had some time to practice, is what it is. he flips his board, and then - spots her, pausing and waving wildly. hello!!!]

[pura]

Oh, so you're a gravekeeper. [HUH.] Thinking about it... It makes sense that you would be into gardening and the like, too.

[graverot]

Sure. After all, all gardens are graves.

[are they?]

[pura]

[After an absurdly long amount of time.]

My nemesis. 😡
I must defeat her, Riff-san.
I must defeat Vin.

[saturations]

Tell me about it. But I dunno...pick up new habits? Whatever the opposite would be.

[saturations]

Why does it matter so much?

[rindude]

Yeah, hence the onigiri. [it's small, easy, and one-handed without effort.] ...it's weird. We should be happy that we're catching at least one culprit per week, but there's too many other things wrong with the picture.

[rindude]

[holy shit.]

UHHHH
do you maybe wanna think about that
and try to defeat her another day?

[pura]

... That was one hell of a bad feeling.

[She will tuck the clover away now, so he doesn't have to keep staring at it.]

But even though you reacted so strongly... you don't recognize it at all, do you?

[pura]

[She waves back and comes a little closer. Hello...!]

You're pretty good at this, huh?

[graverot]

I'm...

[hmm, they frown. there's the feeling of reaching for a thought that won't come.]

Maybe I've seen it before, a long time ago. Or...maybe it just reminds me of someone I knew back then.
