It's very strange, isn't it? The sweetness is a little overwhelming... This must be the sort of place that can only exist through magic.

[ thanks to emotionshare, he can perceive her calm vibes and curiosity. ]

[clockpunk]

[ she can feel his own mild discomfort, but her calmness is helping to even it out. see emotionshare is harmess ]

Yeah. There's attractions similar to this where I'm from, but they're mostly fake. Not made of actual candy.

[trifocal]

People build things to look like this? But why?

[clockpunk]

Just for fun, I think? Usually as a novelty, maybe to make money off of chargin' people to visit.

[trifocal]

Then it is like an art display?

[clockpunk]

[ why is this so difficult to answer. ]

I guess? Kinda? Feels kinda tacky to be callin' it "art", but... yeah?

[trifocal]

I see!

[ smiling, satisfied somehow. does she see. ]

Would you like to explore a bit together?

[clockpunk]

Sure, sounds good. D'you wanna go look around the town?

[trifocal]

Gladly! Perhaps if we look carefully, we may find something of use.

[clockpunk]

[ he smiles, warm and friendly, and starts to lead the way. ]

What's it like here? Compared to where you're from?

[trifocal]

Oh, I do not know where to begin comparing...

I come from a small village on an island, well-isolated from the rest of the world. Compared to the technology I've seen in Heaven, our way of life must seem very simple to many others here...

[clockpunk]

Simple's not bad, as long as you're happy and safe. Seems like a lot of others aren't familiar with the technology, so you're not alone there.

[trifocal]

True. It is very exciting to learn about it, though. Taair just showed me how to add the little pictures to our messages!

[clockpunk]

Oh, emojis? Taair's really picked up on it super well, it's cool.

[ that's my roomie for you!!!!! ]

Do you have a favourite one so far?

[trifocal]

Oh, it was the bigger ones. The "stickers." I found some very lovely snake pictures that move!

[clockpunk]

Oh, those are great. My group chat back home pretty much communicates exclusively with those.

[ snakes? ]

Why snakes?

[trifocal]

They are revered as holy beasts where I come from. Not with so much importance as the Dragon God, but quite sacred.

[ a pause, and a little fond feeling. ]

Also, I just like them.

[clockpunk]

It's always dragons, huh...

[ amused, mostly. a little exasperated. a little sad. complicated.

anyway ]

Send me a couple? Can I see?

[trifocal]

Certainly!

[ she takes out her phone and texts him:




wahoo ]

The moving pictures bring much joy to my heart.

[clockpunk]

Oh, they're super cute. Nice choice.

[ hehe. he sends a heart react for both of them. ]
