Those are a lot of words about herself that Agatha is saying. Which is unusual.

"Bored, and missing my friend who went home, and worried about my friend who came here, but otherwise pretty good!"

Huh. She didn't actually mean to say all that either.

[badluckhealer]

Yeah, REALLY. This is bad. This is really bad.

"...I do not know whether to wish you well that your friend has arrived, or attempt to commiserate over the loss."

The internal screaming, it is loud.

[prettytamer]

"I think it'll be okay. Kazuya will be okay, even if he is demon overlord or something now. I made a promise to be his friend and I don't break promises!"

Pause.

"Something is proooobably going on, isn't it."

[badluckhealer]

"I was unaware that said person was a demon overlord. Given the demonic turf war back home, as well as the Sheridan t-tendency to b-be cursed by Heaven for s-so much as saying 'hi' to a lesser demon or its s-summoner o-or allies, I am not sure how to react to this."

....MOTHERFUCKER. All the color drains from her face and she backs away a few steps, covering her mouth with her hands, eyes wide. Her attempts to not say these things had just resulted in stuttering! Well, she hadn't quite blown her family's cover - but it was bad enough!

She manages a muffled "something is very wrong" and a desperate nod, though.

[prettytamer]

"Maybe we should just stop talking. Right now."

Midori hasn't even processed all the implications of what Agatha said, not yet, but she knows from the look on her face that she really did not want to say it.

"-Don't go anywhere, okay?" Midori reaches for her backpack and starts rummaging around through it.

[badluckhealer]

Okay good. Midori please do not process any of what she just said. Agatha nods and manages not to say anything after that, keeping her hands over her mouth.

[prettytamer]

Midori pulls out a notebook and a pencil. She sketches a head with talky-lines coming out of it, and then crosses it out.



Then she attempts to hand the notebook and pencil over to Agatha, which won't work if she insists on keeping her hands over her mouth like that.

[badluckhealer]

Well, if you say so. Agatha's going to remove hands from mouth in order to draw...something. Another talky head and what looks like a head with hands over its ears. A scribble-out of the talky head, and the other head with question marks.



She's going to pass the notebook back to Midori now.

[prettytamer]

She doesn't really know what that means. Maybe what are they supposed to do if they can't talk?

Well that's easy!



The binder they're drawing on is ringed, at least.

[badluckhealer]

Aggie were you trying to indicate that you think the strings are tangled again.

Because that doesn't even remotely look like strings.

[prettytamer]

Yeah that's more like space... things.

[badluckhealer]

Yeah that's not going to work. So instead she just writes down, Do you think something has gone wrong with the strings again?

[prettytamer]

Maybe! Maybe they're all... what can you do to a string that makes you tell the truth?

[badluckhealer]

I do not know

... After a moment, she adds:



This is followed by a very emphatic exclamation point. Somebody does NOT want a repeat of that earlier incident!

[prettytamer]

I won't make you talk anymore! I don't like upsetting you.

That would have come out the same truthified or not.

[badluckhealer]

I meant that I was attempting to stop myself from saying anything I would regret later. It is easier when writing. You do not need to be concerned in regards to that.

Yep.

[prettytamer]

Midori huffs and writes some more.

Do too. You're my friend and I'm not going to take advantage of weird truth string things.

[badluckhealer]

I meant

There's some scribbling and then: Don't worry about my being upset, please.

[prettytamer]

Are you sure? Can I do anything to make you feel better?

[badluckhealer]

I d

[......what. Come on, writing utensil. "I don't get upset."

...
Come on.

...]

I do not know.

[prettytamer]

[Midori taps her pencil against her chin.]

Do you want ice cream?

[badluckhealer]

Are you attempting to initiate one of those events wherein one friend brings the other out for "comfort food"? I do not believe I am distressed enough to require that, and I do not wish to impose.

It's telling that it took her a long time to figure out how to respond to this, and she looked very focused as she did so.

Agatha's social skills, everyone.

[prettytamer]

If I said you weren't imposing, would you want ice cream?

Double underlined and circled.

[badluckhealer]

Headtiiiiiiiiiilt.

I do not know.

Now she just looks puzzled instead of potentially upset. ... Success?

[prettytamer]

That's kind of weird, not knowing what you want. No offense though.

Midori taps her chin again before adding: Have you had ice cream before?
