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.]

You're not sure if you're making friends?

[video]

[mybloodisblack]

Not really.

[video]

[idealism]

You've managed to make one friend, at least.

[video]

[mybloodisblack]

...Who?

[video]

[idealism]

[Tsuzuki simply points at himself innocently. Surprise!]

[video]

[mybloodisblack]

[And he just blinks. Very confused.]

When did that happen?

[video]

[idealism]

A while ago!

[video]

[mybloodisblack]

...Why didn't I know about that?

[video]

[idealism]

Maybe it's just hard to see if you're not used to having friends?

[video]

[mybloodisblack]

How do people normally know?

[video]

[idealism]

Well, when they talk to people a lot and they like it, that usually means they're friends.

Especially if you can talk about important things with them without scaring them off.

[video]

[mybloodisblack]

But you sounded a little scared when you were talking to me.

[He is familiar to that sound!]

[video]

[idealism]

I was worried about you. It sounds like you hurt a lot.

[video]

[mybloodisblack]

...I'm not hurt. [He thinks you mean physically.]

[video]

[idealism]

You told me about how his voice hurt in your head. Do you remember?

[video]

[mybloodisblack]

There are things that hurt a lot more than that...

[video]

[idealism]

Like what?

[video]

[mybloodisblack]

The Soul Purge...that almost killed me. [Which he sounds oddly neutral about now.]

[video]

[idealism]

[He rubs his face. Good lord.]

A soul what? What kind of world are you coming from?

[video]

[mybloodisblack]

...A place with souls? [He doesn't understand the question.]

[video]

[idealism]

I don't understand why you put your souls through so much suffering.

[video]

[mybloodisblack]

I don't think that can be avoided.

[video]

[idealism]

Why not?

[mybloodisblack]

They let us use our weapons.
