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?

[badluckhealer]

I am not offended. It's just how things are.

And we're right back to being confused as she thinks about it. I believe I have, if not at home then when the strings were tangled.

Not-ancestor why. Why are you fond of sweets and caffeine. Why.

[prettytamer]

Do you have a favorite flavor? I think I'm getting you some even if you say you don't need any.

Because programmers.

[badluckhealer]

Right, this is getting stupid.

"I believe vanilla or chocolate are universally liked, correct?"

[prettytamer]

"Not universally, but they're pretty basic, yeah. I'll get you chocolate, how about that?"

[badluckhealer]

"I - w-wait - I - I would not mind going for ice cream with you, but -"

Okay wow something is wrong with her face because it feels like it is on fire, and she looks away. Somehow eye contact is weird.

"I do not know why this is so nerve-wracking, and have never b-been in this situation before. ... Y-you are my first friend, so..."

...

...

Don't mind her, she's going to be dying of embarrassment.

[prettytamer]

This is a really weird look on Agatha. Midori makes note of it because she doesn't expect to see such a weird event-caused look again.

"Really? Because I like you a lot, and I don't know why more people wouldn't want to be friends with you. I think you deserve a lot of friends! And Heaven can go curse itself because I am taking you out for something fun."

[badluckhealer]

Her face is on fire her face is on fire WHY IS HER FACE ON FIRE. Faces are not supposed to be on fire!

"I - v - oh, all right! I can't win against you when it comes to being stubborn anyway, and I have heard that arguments can result in friendships being dissolved. I do not wish to cause that to happen."

...

She might gladly break the nonviolence rule if she ever finds who caused this compulsive truth-telling. She just might.

[prettytamer]

"It won't be that bad, I promise!"

With a huge grin, Midori starts to lead Agatha to the nearest ice cream shop. Thankfully, it's not that far away, and once there Midori promptly buys two ice cream cones, one vanilla and one chocolate. (No matter if there's any protesting about Agatha being able to pay for herself. Doesn't matter.)

She hands the chocolate cone to her date friend. "Here you go! Oh, I can get sprinkles too if you want."

[badluckhealer]

Agatha just looks at the ice cream cone like it is an alien thing. Or possibly a rabbit - either way it's an expression of what do. Then she looks at Midori again, cautiously.

"Judging by what you said earlier, you did not forget what I mentioned about my entire family being cursed. We - I - don't want to...I don't know...somehow get other people in trouble by association. ...That's why I've been so against all of this. Friendship and so on."

[prettytamer]

"Makes sense," Midoi replies, and takes a lick of her ice cream. "But I think you're still worth being friends with even if I get cursed for it."
