7/16: Kyouka

[randori]

[ She'd been having a really tough time, and it's apparent to everybody in the castle since late last week. Natsuo had always been loud and expressive in his grief, but Kyouka... Even he worries a little.

Where is she this week... Natsuo goes around the castle holding something bundled up in plain paper napkins in his hands, hoping she doesn't just stay cooped up in her room all week and will ambush her when she leaves for meals if need be, and holds out the bundle when he spots her. ]

Kyouka! This is for you.

[ He doesn't need people to be even more wtf at him, it's bad enough all on his own. ]

Right? Maybe if we wish hard enough, it'll come on Wednesday... but then it'll disappear at the end of the day, and that would suck too. [ Today's regrets are not having won prizes from the festival however many weeks ago ]

—but if it's a wish, do you think the castle will make an arcade if I wished for it?

[nivation]

[ Everyone should know every persona of Mafuyu.

Kyouka has a million creepy tiger plushes from that first week in her room. If Natsuo wants one, she can part with one. ]

... I don't think the castle has the outlets for an arcade. It doesn't care about technology.

[ Which is sometimes good and sometimes bad. ]

[randori]

[ maybe I'll use my last wish token on the Usa-chan Man mask ]

There's refrigerators and ovens. That's pretty... technological...?

[ Assuming they run off electricity and such, and that there's light bulbs around in the castle instead of everything being lit with torches, because having fire so readily available and easily accessible sounds like a bad idea. ]

If it doesn't work, the well will give my coin back. I can ask for my rabbit instead, and then ours can be friends!

[nivation]

... I don't think the well refunds.

[ That doesn't sound very fairy tale-like. Be careful what you wish for and all that.

But... rabbit friends... That's a cute idea. She likes it. ]

All rabbits should be friends.

[randori]

[ Maybe the well will stop being a jerk :( ]

Right? I'll make sure to ask for it then! Do you like other animals? Ion and I were wondering if you'd like to go to the zoo [ menagerie ] outside with us!

[nivation]

Tigers are best after rabbits. [ Not to be confused with Tiger.

Kyouka likes most animals, though. They're nice to be around and can't really judge her for her past. ]

I will go.

[ To be invited out like that... she wonders if she should, but it's not an often occurrence. ]

[randori]

[ She should've gone with Magnus to Swan Lake instead of him, then they might have saved the rest of the kigu I still have no idea what it's about.

Natsuo looks delighted about Kyouka agreeing, thoroughly excited about it despite not being a huge animal person— Ion and Kyouka are, and that's all that matters here; what he enjoys is company, in the end. ]

I'll ask Ion when a good time is! He says he'll show us cheagles!

[ which may or may not be a dog, but don't ask him what it is ]

[nivation]

[ i don't know either, but she would have gone straight after the kigu, yeah.

Cheagles are good rabbit-like creatures that Kyouka would love, but it's too bad........ everyone else for this zoo outing date is NOW DEAD. Maybe Kyouka would be a little less imbalanced. ]

Are cheagles something from his world....? If it's something he wants to introduce, I'm sure they're gentle.
