Machina, here.

Anyone else find a gift for them beneath that Wishing Willow? Are the contents supposed to be a joke?

I got jewelry.

[ Please don't make her go into the details it is Too Embarrassing. ]

So you wished for a future in body building? That doesn't sound so bad.

[tempusfinis]

jewlery doesn't sound like a joke to me

[daikonrose]

[ ........... ]

It's themed jewelry. Don't worry about it.

[tempusfinis]

[ bruh "Don't worry about it" is going to get him to worry about it. ]

wait is it cursed

[daikonrose]

I don't know! We can't exactly rule that out, now can we??

[tempusfinis]

[ He's been told early on that things like food and drink can have weird side-effects like making people hold hands or sticking together or telling truths! That would totally be the gods' plan, oh, give these poor hopeful souls an item for their wish jk it's actually going to make you sprout cat ears and a tail-- ]

did you put it on already? does it do anything strange?

[daikonrose]

Yes! It's really weird! Not normal ring behavior at all!

[tempusfinis]

burn it!!

[ yah that's two exclamation marks, for emphasis! ]

[daikonrose]

You're right! That's the most logical course of action in this scenario!!

[ A few minutes pass. ]

I do not know how to set metal on fire.

[tempusfinis]

maybe you can melt it, make it unusable

i have magic, i can help with that

[whenyouneedme]

PUT THE MAGIC AWAY THANKS VERY MUCH

1/2

[tempusfinis]

who

[ better question-- ]

[tempusfinis]

why not?

1/2 also

[whenyouneedme]

WE MIGHT NEED IT LATER

ITS REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT

[whenyouneedme]

maybe

[tempusfinis]

how is it important, you're just gonna let her be cursed?!

[daikonrose]

You'd do that? You're not worried about the curse tainting you? I should tell you right now, it seems like it affects people through proximity, so you could be putting yourself in real danger!

[tempusfinis]

kyoko that must mean you're in danger right now

[ don't!! be a martyr, kyoko!!

....hold on hold on this is probably really bad, then ]

where are you

[daikonrose]

I'm at my house, but if it's actually cursed you REALLY shouldn't come here, REALLY REALLY

actually wait, I need to throw salt

[tempusfinis]

[ He ain't superstitious but screw it-- ] yeah salt is a good idea, start with that!

[ He's already out the door even if he has no direction to go to, because, you know, when someone is in danger he has to help! he absolutely does not care what happens to him. kyoko is a pretty cool person, he's gotta do something!

(until he gets the message upthread from kaito that it's not cursed) ]

[whenyouneedme]

DON'T BURN IT

[daikonrose]

I can't burn it. Metal isn't flammable usually, you know? Melting is out best bet.

[whenyouneedme]

dno't melt it either!!!

[daikonrose]

It's a suspicious piece of jewelry with unexplained magical powers! Aren't you alarmed at all?

[whenyouneedme]

Sure it's weird

but what if we need it for later??? y'know??
