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.]

[He caaan't. And he's not good at lying.]

Just...things in sand...

[Mostly circles.]

[Voice]

[asobouyo]

Ohhhh... That sounds nice.

Do you like drawing with crayons? I have lots of crayons.

[Voice]

[mybloodisblack]

I don't think I've ever drawn with crayons..

[Voice]

[asobouyo]

Then we should definitely do that! Do you go to school? We can meet there and color together! And learn together!

[Voice]

[mybloodisblack]

Oh, no, I'm sorry. I don't go to school.

[Voice]

[asobouyo]

Really...?!

Why not? It's so much fun!

[Voice]

[mybloodisblack]

There's to many people there.

[Voice]

[asobouyo]

Ooooh... so you're shy!

[Voice]

[mybloodisblack]

...

Kind of.

[Voice]

[asobouyo]

Well, that's okay! You just have to make new friends and feel more... um. um. Comfy! I'll hang out with you and we can talk, and maybe you'll get better with people.

[Voice]

[mybloodisblack]

I'm not too good at talking to people..

[Voice]

[asobouyo]

Really? Even to me, too?

[Voice]

[mybloodisblack]

No, you're a kid... [Talking to kids is much easier. They're less threatening.]

[Voice]

[asobouyo]

I understand...! I'm glad you don't mind talking to me, 'cus I like talking... Maybe I can help make you feel better about talking to people.

Oh! I'm Elicia!

[Voice]

[mybloodisblack]

How would you do that?

...My name's Crona.

[Voice]

[asobouyo]

If you get used to talking to people, you'll get better at it, right?

[Voice]

[mybloodisblack]

I guess...but talking to people at first is really hard.

[Voice]

[asobouyo]

[All smiles, this one.]

It's okay. I'll be here to help. You don't gotta be alone!

[Voice]

[mybloodisblack]

[Just awkwardness over here.]

But it's still hard...

[Voice]

[asobouyo]

Don't worry too much. You don't gotta do that yet anyway.

You can come play with me, though, whenever you want! I won't make you feel bad, okay? 'Cuz I'm your new friend. So don't worry about talking with me.

[Voice]

[mybloodisblack]

You're not hard to talk to.

...Play with you?

[He knows no games...]

[Voice]

[asobouyo]

Yeah! Dont'chu have anything you like to do?

[Voice]

[mybloodisblack]

No...not really.

[Voice]

[asobouyo]

Then we gotta find things you like to do. 'Kay? It'll be fun.

[Voice]

[mybloodisblack]

How do I do that?
