Did anyone [else] make a wish, right before ending up here?

[There's a muted, deadened quality to this transmission - someone is trying very hard not to think about. Well. Just about anything!]

Why?

[loopsiedaisy]

Croissants are awful and bad.

[loopsiedaisy]

...yeah.

[They sure don't sound happy about it, for someone who had a wish granted...?]

[loopsiedaisy]

...I don't think a lot of us got what we wanted in the way we wanted it. [But.]

[There sure are enough people who responded to this message with something that kind of fits. Or just fits outright.]

[offtracks]

I suppose that would be far too much of a coincidence. Especially since the rest of you did not even know about Pokemon at all before.

[dunchies]

Even with ham and cheese?

[loopsiedaisy]

Why would you do that to ham and cheese.

What did they ever do to deserve it.

[dunchies]

It's more balanced.

[loopsiedaisy]

Have them with brioche instead!! Or pain de campagne!

[Objectively better breads. Clearly.]

[bladeofnymeia]

Hmm. So was it one of those wishes you didn't really mean, then? Sometimes, people will say they wish something would happen, but it's kind of...not meant to be taken seriously. It's said out of other feelings more than desire.

[loopsiedaisy]

[...]

[. . .]

No. I meant it. [They wish (teehee!) they hadn't.]

But I didn't expect it to be granted like this. [Or at all, maybe...? They're not sure.]

[dunchies]

But the texture is all different. You can't say it's the same. You don't even like chocolate croissants?

[ Be open-minded to the possibilities, Siffrin!!! ]

[bladeofnymeia]

...Then there is some truth to an old adage, isn't there? To be careful for what one wishes for. You never know how it might come true.

[loopsiedaisy]

[HAHAHA! Yeah! As if the Universe hasn't already rubbed that in their face enough, here's someone telling the thesis statement of their awful little play to them -]

[(Oh dear, that sure was a momentary burst of An Emotion that leaked through. The mental equivalent of hysterical laughter, but the kind you do instead of crying. Yuck.)]

[- and they're missing something. They're still missing something, it feels like they have more than one reason to believe that, but...]

[They don't know what it is. Isn't the one reason enough?]

You don't have to tell me twice~

[bladeofnymeia]

[wkeajsvneafwjkadwa SWEET FANTASY JESUS she didn't expect that. Siffrin just gets back an undignified squawk of startled, and then silence for a good thirty seconds. You couldn't blame someone for disconnecting after that, but-]

thal's fucking balls what in the hells is that reaction

[It's just. Whisper-squeaked out, that phrase. Definitely did not mean for that to come out, either, with how tiny it is.]

[1/2]

[loopsiedaisy]

[UM!!!]

[2/2]

[loopsiedaisy]

I don't know what you mean~

[They're very extremely normal and nothing happened. You felt nothing.]

[bladeofnymeia]

[sus,]

I - shit. S-Sorry. I didn't mean - you just...

[Pulls herself back by the collar a bit, no, do not admit you got spooked]

...You...need someone more equipped to talk of wishes than I.

[loopsiedaisy]

[Not sus!!!]

[They are just going to move along like nothing ever happened thanks!!!]

No, it's fine! You answered my question, I guess.

[Putting Firoza down as another "maybe a wish"...]

[loopsiedaisy]

Exactly!! [Croissants bad!!]

[...hm. Well, they do still like a good pain au chocolat... those are just different enough...]

...if they have enough chocolate and they're not moon-shaped, I guess they might be okay. Maybe.

[dunchies]

See? I like the other shape better, too. More surface area for fillings.

[ Now that's what he calls progress. What the hell were they talking about again. ]

[loopsiedaisy]

[Teehee. Distraction successful.]

But do they even still count as croissants, then...? They're called something different.

[favorforafavor]

Sounds like someone did!

[Not very "asking for a friend" with that kind of transparency.]
