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!]

Maybe that would count...?

[They don't sound especially confident. Even they know this one's a stretch - it sounds like a very casual want...?]

[But they thought they'd figured something out. Even if it didn't actually... make any sort of difference, in retrospect (whether or not it's only them that ended up here because of a wish, they still did it).]

[bladeofnymeia]

Maybe. I'm not sure.

What inspired the question?

[loopsiedaisy]

[They've more or less admitted it a few times over the Grumpearls, at this point, so... there's not much point being coy about it. They don't plan to share the details, though.]

I made a wish. Right before waking up in the forest here.

[Implied, though they don't actually say it: something about their wish meant it could have been granted that way...]

[bladeofnymeia]

...And you would consider being here...granting that wish?

[loopsiedaisy]

...yeah.

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

[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.

[. . .]

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.]

[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"...]
