[ there's still people he hadn't really spoken to, whether out of nerves or just it not lining up. this pretty lady is both, probably.

for transformation week, he has see-through skin or glass along one arm, his upper chest, neck and one cheek. underneath, there's ticking clockwork in place of flesh and blood. ]

Uh... hey. Holdin' up okay after everything?

[trifocal]

Oh, yes. You are... Chrono, is that right? [ she has to kind of give him a second look-over, with the transformation stuff. ] It's kind of you to ask.

I just hope that those who were wounded will be all right...

[clockpunk]

Yeah, that's right. You're, uh... [ all these complicated foreign names ] Ms. Eu... phie?

[trifocal]

"Eupha" will do. [ she offers a smile. ] That's what everyone calls me.

[clockpunk]

Ms. Eupha. Sorry. [ smiles back, apologetic. ] There's all these mysteries goin' on, it's hard to keep everythin' straight.

[trifocal]

There is nothing to apologize for. It is a pleasure to meet you properly.

I can only hope that today's perils have come to an end, but it does seem that some among us are on edge... though I can hardly blame them.

[clockpunk]

Good t'meet you too.

[ he sighs, trying to not look as frustrated as he feels. ]

I think the whiplash of the party into this is makin' it worse, too.

[trifocal]

I think the party was good for us. It is because of all of this uncertainty that we should try to build trust and community with one another.

w4 monday

[ they're at the candy kingdom. it's so bright. chrono's just staring at everything in mild horror, hand raised unknowingly to his jaw. ]

Feels like cavities just standin' here, don't it?

[trifocal]

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?
