GGaD » [@Eliza; Past Thread] Sounds like someone just knocked their head.

Ryoo now looked mildly concerned. "Kiaane, that will make it look like somebody bled all over the snow."

GalaxianExplosion · December 26, 2021 23:00:11

"Purple," they continue to suggest.

Basket Cat · December 26, 2021 23:02:08

Ryoo considered this. "Purple might work." she said thoughtfully.

GalaxianExplosion · December 26, 2021 23:05:46

The mercenary--though at this point they might not yet be one--looks perplexed. "You like purple?" they ask.

Basket Cat · December 27, 2021 10:25:19

"Just because I don't wear purple doesn't mean I don't like the color."

GalaxianExplosion · December 27, 2021 19:14:23

"Nor does it signify the opposite. Do you like it?"
Oh, look at them having some logic.

Basket Cat · December 30, 2021 11:00:00

"I wouldn't have suggested it if I didn't like it. Too much purple is overwhelming, but pairing it with some green, like a grassy field with violets..." oh no, she's getting poetic again.

GalaxianExplosion · December 30, 2021 19:14:01

Kiaane somehow does a full stop without saying anything.
"Ryoo," they start. "do you dislike white?"

Basket Cat · December 30, 2021 19:30:15

Ryoo blinked a few times in surprise. "No," she said.

GalaxianExplosion · December 30, 2021 19:59:47

"Then," they tilt their head slightly, "why try to change its inherent nature?"

Basket Cat · December 30, 2021 21:28:27

Ryoo shrugged. "You seemed to want suggestions."

GalaxianExplosion · December 30, 2021 22:20:47

They shake their head, in the process nearly dropping what they have in their hands/arms. Again. After reminding themselves of that fact (again), they specify: "Only made suggestions because you did not like white snow. But then, you said you do not dislike white. So, don't know what to think."

Basket Cat · December 31, 2021 14:50:43

Ryoo considered this for a moment. "I don't dislike white snow. I think it looks best white."

(this conversation is going in circles as the two attempt to figure out what the other one means XDD)

GalaxianExplosion · December 31, 2021 19:37:47

(Yepp.)

"Then why do you not want it in your room?" they ask. Fortunately, they can figure some things out, so hopefully the thread won't circle for too long.

Basket Cat · December 31, 2021 20:08:06

"How many people do you know that want snow in their room?" Ryoo asked. "It just doesn't look good. Snow's meant to be outside."

GalaxianExplosion · December 31, 2021 22:05:21

Kiaane considers that question unfair, as they don't know many people and don't ask the people they do know whether they would like snow in their room. Still, they, Kiaan, count, right? So they say, "One."

Basket Cat · December 31, 2021 22:18:06

Ryoo, seeming to detect that Kiaane was referring to themself, asked, "So why do you want to keep snow in my room?"

GalaxianExplosion · January 2, 2022 19:09:23

"Inspiration for poetry," they state, quite concisely. "Because snow is rare..." They trail off there. They're really not meant to elaborate on their own.

Basket Cat · January 3, 2022 17:07:53

Ryoo was suddenly looking at Kiaane very differently. "You...you brought the snow for...inspiration? For me?"

GalaxianExplosion · January 3, 2022 18:23:20

They nod, then stop because the snow is melting and some of it's about to slosh out. "Yes," they say instead.

Basket Cat · January 4, 2022 09:55:33

Ryoo considered this for a moment, then glanced back into her room. "We can put some of it in a corner," she conceded. "But not the whole room."

GalaxianExplosion · January 4, 2022 10:22:47

"Okay," they agree with a nod. One couldn't tell through how they look, but that makes them happy. Wow.

Basket Cat · January 4, 2022 11:36:54

(KIAANE IS HAPPY HJAGSDKAHLJ)

Ryoo took one of the buckets from Kiaane, carefully so as not to spill the melting snow, brought it into her room, and set it down. She crouched next to it, clearly contemplating how she should best go about enchanting the snow.

GalaxianExplosion · January 4, 2022 12:06:18

Meanwhile, Kiaane struggles to put down the rest of the buckets next to the door and along the hallway wall. Who knows how they even got to carry all of them at once--if they still remember that, they've probably since forgotten how to put them down. They can't reverse a process if they don't remember said process, after all.

Basket Cat · January 4, 2022 16:44:03

Ryoo finally decided how to cast the spell, and carefully cast a spell on the single bucket, then touched it. "Hey, it worked!" she said. "Come look, Kiaane."

GalaxianExplosion · January 5, 2022 01:21:13

There is some minor clattering before they come padding along into her room with complete nonchalance. That is, until they bend down, touch the enchanted snow themselves, and then remark, "Slushy."

Basket Cat · January 5, 2022 09:41:59

Ryoo giggled. "I'll have to make it turn back into snow completely, otherwise it's just...this." she poked the half-melted snow.

GalaxianExplosion · January 5, 2022 12:10:09

To Kiaane, it sounds like extra work. "Can use the unmelted parts," they suggest instead. They paw through the upper layer to expose the substantially less slushy parts inside the bucket and show it to her.

Basket Cat · January 5, 2022 18:25:21

"Oh, that's true." Ryoo said. "There'd probably be too much otherwise anyway. Good idea."

GalaxianExplosion · January 6, 2022 03:52:03

Sorry, but Kiaane skips past the cue for "Thank you" this time. They just put the bucket back down and whisk it around a bit, probably to gauge the amount of accumulated water. It's not as much as they projected, which is a good thing. Then they put it down and pat it on the floor a bit to even the snow back out somewhat.
Now's a good time for Ryoo to think about where she wants to actually put the snow and how she actually wants to position it, et cetera.
