Eighth Drop ❂ Video / Action

[mybloodisblack]

[Today Crona is trying to be normal, and take the advice of a few people. And it looks like he's going to say something for the first few moments....but then he takes a deep breath, and just stares at the book, not even realizing that the video function is on. He's really trying hard to say what he means...He does that a few more times, with his eyes going everywhere, until he takes one last smal breath before he starts talking pretty fast.]

I was told that a lot of people have hobbies here...And I was wondering if...if I could learn some. Any ones would be nice.

[And it cuts off rather quickly. He's never had to ask people something like that, and he doesn't have any way to deal with it.


Though a little later when he's not so freaked out when people start talking to him, he's finally doing the last thing on his list...Taking out Ragnarok at the edge of the village. Crona doesn't want to go inside, so it is really going to b e the best Ragnarok will get.

Crona can be found there, holding a long sword in an awkward mannor.  Probably in a position that would leave cuts on anybody else. He lets the sword yell and complain about everything, which is much less painful than in his head, and anybody that approaches crona will be on high alert, and shushing the sword so everything looks...relatively normal...or partly. The sword does have a large mouth on it....

This is Crona's normal day.

You can't just say "hobbies" and expect someone to decide a more specific one for you. There are dozens.

[voice]

[mybloodisblack]

I'm sorry...I just theought people knew a few...

[voice]

[untrueheart]

[He sounds pitiful.]

What can you do?

[voice]

[mybloodisblack]

[There is going to be a very long pause...]

...Does swordfighting count..?

[voice]

[untrueheart]

I've heard of fencing and swordplay as hobbies before. [She knows two swordsmen personally, in fact. It isn't a hobby for them.]

voice

[foundafamily]

Anything? What about cards?

voice

[mybloodisblack]

What can you do with those?

voice

[foundafamily]

...Are you kiddin' me? You play games with 'em!

[Poor, deprived child...]

voice

[mybloodisblack]

What kind of games?

[A deeply deprived child...]

voice

[foundafamily]

Poker's the more popular one, and blackjack's pretty common, too. But if you don't wanna gamble there's stuff like Old Maid.

[His very dedicated card shark friends gamble over that as well.]

[tomodachi]

What about piracy? Doing stuff like that can be fun!

[...crow being a pirate is NOT A "HOBBY" TO SUGGEST]

Re: voice;

[mybloodisblack]

...What is piracy?

[tomodachi]

You know, what pirates do! Exploring places, looking for treasure, sometimes sword fighting--that kind of stuff!

[Crow what makes you think that this is the best place for that...]

[mybloodisblack]

I know how to fight with a sword, but I don't really like exploring new places...

[tomodachi]

Then that just leaves looking for treasure to collect! Finding cool stuff is practically the best part of being a pirate anyway!

[She hasn't replied to any of the journals yet. But a shy looking child reminds her of the ones back home and she decides to try and help.]

Drawing is hobby. Or reading, though I do not know if this town has a library.

Video

[mybloodisblack]

There is, it's kinda big.

[mothergoose]

Then you might find something to read there. If you wish to try reading as a hobby.

Do you have things you enjoy doing already?

Video

[mybloodisblack]

I don't know what books I like.

[There will be a decently long pause as he thinks about it.] I don't really know.

Video

[mothergoose]

Then perhaps could be hobby in finding out which books you like?

Some books might even give you ideas in finding other things you might like to try and do.

[Action] | fff let me know if this is not a good assumption to make?

[semper_cogitans]

[Crona may be practising alone, but that's going to change in a moment.

There's a quiet rustling sound in the underbrush near by, as a thin man in a lab coat steps over from one of the houses near the edge of the forest. He's obviously been drawn here by the sound of the shouting voice, though he stands oddly far away as though he is nervous of crossing some invisible barrier.]

A-Ah... salutations...? [It seems like he isn't sure who to address: the sword, or the person holding it.]

[Action] It is!

[mybloodisblack]

[Crona was completely not suspecting someone to come near him, let alone come out of the woods, so his first instinct is to fumble with his sword, before trying to hide it's mouth against him, to try and muffle it.

Next is to find the person, but he's jump enough to just look back and forth too quickly..]

H-hello?

[Action] Yay 8D

[semper_cogitans]

[It's okay, Crona. You don't have to muffle your talkative sword.

Realizing that the small, pink-haired person cannot see him, Robert advances further into the tangle of undergrowth before stopping, still at an unusually-far distance. It's clear he's a little nervous...]

Are... are you qu-quite alright...? There was, er, a d-distinct commotion here, and... I thought, p-perhaps, that there might have been an i-issue of some sort...

[Action]

[mybloodisblack]

[But no one this far has talked to Ragnarok, and since it seems like he was noticed, there is no way he's even letting Crona try to put him away.

Doesn't stop him from holding the sword so closely though, even if this new person is staying a nice distance away. He's actually quite used to people doing that!]

Y-yes, I'm sorry. Ragnarok is just yelling at things today.

[Action]

[semper_cogitans]

I-Is there a reason your companion was... so e-exuberant?

[The yelling-weapon thing doesn't really phase Robert. It's more... wondering why it was yelling, really.]
