Third Drop ❂ Voice / Action

[mybloodisblack]

[The voice you hear over the journals is quiet, and slow.. Quiet enough that it almost sounds like he doesn't want to be heard, and slow enough that it sounds like he doen't even want an answer. But, curious enough that he wants answers.]

I have...two questions...

...How do people make friends? A-and how does someone not scare people away if they are just telling the truth?


[Once that is done and over with, Crona places his journal facing away from him. He's not sure if he wants the answers. But for the first time, he can be seen sitting in plain view of anybody out near the middle of the village. It's taken him quiet a while to stop hiding from anything that moves, and he doesn't like being completely alone anymore.

But that doesn't stop him from drawing circles on the ground with a stick. One around him, one around the journal, then other small ones because he has nothing better to do. No actual drawings come out of this, but he is pleased with himself.]

Scolded? What for?

... Er, never mind. Well, how about you try complimenting people when you notice something nice about 'em?

[mybloodisblack]

...Like what?

[contaeoro]

Er, like if you think someone's hair looks nice, or they did something well or said something smart.

[mybloodisblack]

So...just about anything?

[contaeoro]

Yeah, there's usually at least one nice thing about everyone.

[mybloodisblack]

Everyone?

[contaeoro]

That's right -- everyone.

[mybloodisblack]

...I wouldn't have thought that.

[contaeoro]

Why not?

[mybloodisblack]

...It's not something I ever thought about.

[contaeoro]

It's never too late to start.

Say, my name's Maiza. What's yours?

[mybloodisblack]

I guess so.

...Crona.

[contaeoro]

Well, Crona. Nice to meet you. Tell me, d'you think you know anyone that has a particularly nice name?

[mybloodisblack]

A...nice name? [There is so much confusion in his voice!]

[contaeoro]

Yeah. Any names you think sound particularly nice or suits the person?

[mybloodisblack]

...I've never thought of something like that before.

[contaeoro]

[Oh dear.]

Like I said, it's never too late to start. What about you; you like your name?

[mybloodisblack]

It's my name...I'm supposed to like it, right?

[contaeoro]

If you say so. Now -- I like your name too.

[mybloodisblack]

...Why?

[contaeoro]

Well, I think it sounds nice. I don't really know you so I can't say for sure if it suits you or not, but Crona's got a nice ring to it.

[mybloodisblack]

A...ring? [You sir, are very confusing!]

[contaeoro]

Yeah. It's a nice name to say.

[He's trying!]

[mybloodisblack]

...I never would've thought that.

[contaeoro]

It's not a name I've heard before. It's rather unique.
