Chuuya | Week 1: Wednesday Evening

[frilly]

[ It is bed time! Madoka has returned to the pajamas she arrived in, but. Isn't quite ready for bed yet, so she's just kind of kicking her legs over the edge of the bed she's claimed. ]

It's too bad we can't take things, anymore. I would have brought a book to read in bed or something...

Comments

[frilly]

People do it all the time.

[ that's... kind of a joke? ]

[goatsongs]

Still dumb.

[he wants better for you!!]

[frilly]

I think as long as you know the main thing that they stand for, that can be enough. It's okay to not be known as a person, but as a concept.

... But I do still want to speak with them.

[goatsongs]

Maybe, but maybe they're a little lonely? Just being known as a concept and not having that personal connection.

['Human connection' doesn't seem appropriate.]

[frilly]

I thought - they have each other, don't they?

[ They're not totally alone. ]

[goatsongs]

If they were that close friends, they wouldn't be having this competition.

[frilly]

That's true... Close friends wouldn't be fighting for power like this...

[goatsongs]

Exactly. They talk, but they're not good friends, or anyway most of them aren't.

[Maybe some of them get along alright. Who knows.]

[frilly]

Maybe they get along, but just need mediators...?

[ she really wants to believe they're all friends ]

[goatsongs]

There's at least a couple that none of the other gods like, and I know Sincerity and Disorder really don't like each other.

[sorry honey]

[frilly]

Not everyone can be friends, I guess...

[ she still sounds like. she thinks they could work it out if they tried!! ]

[goatsongs]

[she's a good bean.]

Sometimes people just can't get along with each other. Or are jerks.

[frilly]

I know...

[ sigh ]

[goatsongs]

[Can he pat her on the head without her getting mad.]

[frilly]

[ She'll accept it this time, since her hair is down.

But she laughs and seems a little startled by it. ]

[goatsongs]

You're a good kid. If everyone were more like you, then we'd all get along fine.

[Unfortunately,]

[frilly]

I wouldn't want everyone to be like me. I like everyone just the way they are - it's better that we're all different.

[goatsongs]

Even if the price is people having arguments like this?

[or worse than arguments.]

[frilly]

If everyone was the same, they wouldn't learn how to think like anyone else. They could be wrong, and never change their mind.

I think that's not good.

[goatsongs]

I think so too.

...But it wouldn't be bad if more people were as sweet as you are.

[frilly]

I've been scolded for it before.

[goatsongs]

By people who were obviously wrong.

[obviously.]

[frilly]

No...!

[ she's being playful, but also, no!!! ]

[goatsongs]

I'm sure they were very nice people and everything, but they were wrong.

[frilly]

They weren't...! I've made a lot of naive mistakes and bad decisions...
