No need to worry about that. I try not to use them, for the most part.

[ accidents happen. ]

Perhaps they don't think I'll be an interesting target...? Some of us do tend to react more obviously than others.

[ iwatooshi just vibes so hard that few things bother him ever ]

You say that, but it doesn't look like their usage needs to actually be purposeful.

[ Comically he just had this conversation with Lucas last week or like yesterday and then boom, cursetown. ]

I don't know about that. Aqua is relatively mild and someone or something thought she'd be an interesting target today.

That is true... Some of my other ones seem to have been used somehow, though I certainly didn't try to.

[ hums thoughtfully at that. ]

Normally, she is. I've learned recently, though, that some of us act out of spite, for whatever minuscule reason they decide on. I don't quite understand it, myself, but it's possible that it's something like that.

Yeah. One of mine went missing too. I think it had some kind of parroting effect... it was a good while ago.

Some people are just petty. [ Karma. Izutsumi. Kanda. ] As long as it doesn't escalate into something major though, it'll be alright... probably.

Ah! I think I remember seeing that one briefly, on the other side. It was a little funny, actually.

As long as it doesn't get too out of hand. Most of the curses we've seen today are relatively harmless, thankfully. [ ... ] Though I do wonder what was going on with the other side.

...

Those cupcakes were... supposed to be a gift from us, right...?

Did the insects hitch a ride...?

They were.

Honestly, I had no idea the fire fleas were even still around. I thought Cloud-dono had already taken care of them.

[ He sighs. ]

Surprise...

It must be a distortion of some kind, like how letters can get altered. Can't have a sincerely nice thing can we, it'd be too easy.

I hope they don't think we sent those on purpose.

[ Some of them will. ]

It's likely. Nothing here ever goes quite how we expect it to.

...Do you think they will?

I'm certain at least one person will question if we did.

We can only be honest and let them believe it or not. I just hope they won't put all the blame on Mr. Akabane or something.

[ He really has given himself the goblin king reputation. ]

He has made a reputation for himself. [ sighs. ] But I'm sure if we explain, they'll understand.

...If I didn't think attempted deception would go over much worse, I'd be tempted to just sweep this under the rug entirely...

Hmmm. So much happens on that side, it's possible they may forget before we see them again...

...True...

Hopefully they'll be able to, ah. Look back on it with some level of humour.

Hopefully.

[ Daan actually hated watching all that though so he doesn't seem very optimistic about those chances. ]

I think they might. They all have a good sense of humor.

[ thinks of asa ]

Mostly.

I'm surprised we even have as much as we do.

[ The game itself is miserable but by god, some of these people are goblins. ]

Maybe the sight of you with animal ears would've given them a bit of a morale boost though...

Sometimes our humor is what gets us through the darker times.

[ something something never stop smiling ]

...Do you think so? Gahaha! Then it's a shame we can't show them!

Maybe you could send a photo. Looks like we can send little physical objects through even on our own now. Pick whoever would appreciate it the most.

Oh, we can? I haven't tried since it first failed, but that's good to know!

[ taps chin... ]

I'm not sure who would want to see it, though. Maybe Mathis-dono, or Yuffie-dono? I think most of the people who'd be interested in something like that area already on our side.

[ Well I realised I have no ic basis to believe this yet since mail hasn't gone through but fuck it whatever it's w6 anyway. ]

I think they could both benefit from something small and lighthearted. They've... been through much.

[ it's not emotionshare anymore but the ears do droop a little bit. ]

Too much, especially for someone their age. I'll think about it.

Thank you, Daan-dono.

Yeah.

[ He's not happy about the kids suffering either. ]

I haven't done anything worth thanking. Let's just both try to make the best of our hours.

Of course. [ he smiles again! ] What would you suggest, then? There's all kinds of new places to see?

Oh... here and now?

...

We've got four distinct new places, as well as the Elysium the other side's been looking at, huh...

Think our venture returnees and break-ins will happen somewhere around those?

[ Just fully assumes they'll get some this week. ]

The break-ins are places around town, usually. The others... I don't know. They seem to happen anywhere at random, and we're lucky to catch them.
