leaberator | catchall for miki

[ oh, right, the box. hm. well, miki looks fine, so axel goes to get his box and takes out...

a stick. ]

Ah.

[ she's resilient. ]

-- Is that a popsicle stick?

[ he's staring at it like it has personally offended him ]

... Yeah...

[ ... ]

The things in here are supposed to have meaning to us in some way... right?

[ does axel...

really love popsicles? ]

[ i mean. yes. ]

Yep.

[ he does not explain at all ]

[ more than he loves lune/emma/shess/all three??? ]

...

Do you want to find something else to keep it in? I'd be worried about putting it back in the box in case it closes again. Maybe a little pouch, or something...?

[ yes? how is that even a question

anyway, miki's worry makes him laugh a bit ]

You're sweet, kid, but it's just a popsicle stick. I can carry it around in my pocket no problem.

[ you're breakin' my heart, zia. ]

If it's important, it should be kept safe, right? [ what if he sits on it by accident. and break it with his weirdly kh2 defined shakira hips? ]

[ ice cream > people ]

By itself, it's not that important. It's more... what it represents to me. That make sense?

[ siiiigh. ]

It does.

If you're sure....

[ ... she looks kinda bummed out and it makes him feel bad. hm. ]

If you really wanna, though, we can always look for something.

[ It’s. It’s okay Axelea. She’ll be fine? ]

If you say you’re fine without it, then I believe you. Just take good care of it, if it’s important.

[ It’s a popsicle stick Miki. Calm. ]

'Course I will.

[ it's a popsicle stick and he said it was more about what it represented, but it's fine, he'll pocket it very carefully ]

Good.

[ She’s examining her book again. Ya popsicle stick loving weirdo. ]

I wonder where these things came from...? Did someone go back to our homes?

[ he waves a hand around vaguely ]

I doubt that. It musta been the same kinda magic that brought us here in the first place. Though I have no idea why they'd bring us this stuff.

A reward? Or some kind of incentive to sweeten the fact we're here?

[ they could just send them home. that would be nice. ]

A reward sounds a lot more likely. I dunno that there's anything that could sweeten this place.

[ because it's.... terrible ]

...

[ He’s not wrong, but— ]

It’s... quieter than I expected. Considering our lives are at risk.

Quieter? Whaddaya mean?

It's dangerous, but it's not... constant, all the time.

[ It's... relaxing. To not be on edge every day. ]

Ah. [ he thinks he gets it. ] The quiet routine bit new for you?

Recently, yeah. It’s nice, not looking over my shoulder all the time.

[ And the dead stay dead. Which is good in this instance. ]

It's a big change, right? Like a whole weight lifted off your shoulders.

[ he... relates... ]

It makes me worry anyway though. Like if I’m too relaxed I’ll get caught out. I didn’t need fo worry about all this stuff a year ago.

Funny how quickly everything changes.

[ why is miki so... relatable... wow ]

Something happen to you a year ago?
