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.]

...Maybe? I didn't know her for very long before I came here.

[neverplaysfair]

So why are you trying to make friends now?

[mybloodisblack]

I wasn't. I was just asking how to do it.

[neverplaysfair]

Then why ask?

[mybloodisblack]

I was curious.

[neverplaysfair]

And why be curious about this topic in particular?

[mybloodisblack]

Because I hear a lot of people talking about friends.

[neverplaysfair]

Do you think you'd hear that if they weren't important?

[mybloodisblack]

I don't know...people talk about things they don't like a lot.

[neverplaysfair]

They don't need to like things for them to be important.

[mybloodisblack]

Oh...no, I guess not.

[neverplaysfair]

Do you think people don't like having friends?

[mybloodisblack]

I wouldn't know...

[neverplaysfair]

Can't you tell from how they talk about them?

[mybloodisblack]

No, not really. [He doesn't know how to read people!]

[neverplaysfair]

... No?

[mybloodisblack]

Yeah. How am I supposed to know something like that.

[neverplaysfair]

Generally you can tell from how they talk about them. If they enjoy spending time with them. If they want to be with them more. Whether they think well of them.

[mybloodisblack]

I usually don't hear people talking about other people..

[neverplaysfair]

But you hear them talking about friends?

[mybloodisblack]

Yes...I didn't think it was nice to hear what they say about them.

[neverplaysfair]

In that case, why would they talk about them in the first place?

[mybloodisblack]

I don't. I just hear people talking about friends a lot. That's all.

[neverplaysfair]

... Are you an eavesdropper?

[mybloodisblack]

No. I just listen to the journals a lot. [So, yes.]
