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]

[ She actually hadn't noticed yet, too caught up in making sure she had privacy to change and then getting all settled into her own bed. ]

Or leave us some books by our bed... side...? [ wait. okay, there's the realization. ]

... Did you frame that?

[goatsongs]

[And there's the reaction he'd been waiting for.]

Sure did. What do you think?

[frilly]

I think it's overkill...

[goatsongs]

You're entitled to think that.

[but also she's wrong.]

[frilly]

Where did you even get a frame...?

[goatsongs]

Asked a god for it, what else?

[frilly]

...

[ what a waste of a favor from a god!!!!! ]

[goatsongs]

What's that silence mean?

[obviously it was the best possible use??]

[frilly]

If you're going to be asking favors, shouldn't it be... Something better?

[goatsongs]

No?

[What a question.]

Besides, Sincerity likes me. If I have to ask for something else later, I'll make another offering, it'll be fine.

[frilly]

Oh, is that the god you chose to align with?

[goatsongs]

The one I'm switching to on Sunday. Technically I'm still aligned with Disorder, but I don't want to think of her as my patron any more than I have to.

[He really doesn't like her.]

[frilly]

So Sincerity bribed you with a picture frame. [ that's a joke. ]

... But - you chose Disorder to start with...?

[goatsongs]

I decided to switch with them before the picture frame, they didn't have to bribe me at all.

Only because I liked my other two choices even less. Disorder at least had Dadaist poetry going for her.

[it's not much, but it's a positive association.]

[frilly]

[ she laughs. ]

I'm glad you found one you like better, then.

[goatsongs]

Me too. -I hope you and yours are getting along?

[Madoka doesn't need to tell him who. It's enough just that she's happy with her choice.]

[frilly]

I haven't talked to them yet, but I'm hoping to, soon.

[goatsongs]

You should when you get the chance. It's no good to put your support behind a god you don't actually support.

[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...
