Machina, here.

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

[ Someone is UNHAPPY. ]

[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?!

[whenyouneedme]

I got the same one its not cursed

1/3

[tempusfinis]

how



do you know that

[ Okay so at least Machina is listening. ]

[whenyouneedme]

i don't for sure

but
we wished for the same thing so it might be part of getting that to work

don't go encouraging her to throw it out so fast geez

[tempusfinis]

[ Oh... one of those sincere gifts, then. ]

i see

[ And they wished for the same thing, that being rings? Are they dating--

He sends another reply, a few seconds later: ] yeah


engagement rings are important

[whenyouneedme]

uh
no not. that. not that one.







i guess its more of a promise thing

[tempusfinis]

[ ...Damn, he almost was about to melt their not!engagement-but-promise rings! ]

sorry

guess i got overly worried for a second

those rings seem like a sweet gesture

[whenyouneedme]

[Ok are we not? Melting things now? Cool. Great.]

i mean i can see you meant it in a good way so
thanks for worrying about her


i wanna believe they're not just a compensation gift

[tempusfinis]

yeah, maybe. others seem to have had more sincere gifts, too.

but she mentioned it has a weird effect, like it's magical?

[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) ]

[daikonrose]

[ There's a much longer pause this time, longer than it would take to throw salt probably. Long enough for some conversations to be had outside of this one. ]

I'm sorry for getting worked up and dragging you into something irresponsible for no reason, but maybe we should take a raincheck on the ring melting project.

[tempusfinis]

[ And fortunately he's been informed on the matter, too, so! ]

don't worry about it. maybe scrap that plan all together. the rings are important to you two.

[ They wished for them, in some respect?? Damn, and he ha volunteered to destroy them! Bad call, bad call... ]

[daikonrose]

The curse possibility was important to consider, though! I'm glad you pointed it out. We're definitely gonna be watching for any potential curse symptoms.

[tempusfinis]

good luck, then. hope it works out.
