Stardust!! I'm going to kill you~

[They very clearly did not mean to send this to everyone, but they've just remembered another form of telepathy and instinctually tried to default to it... and it has messed them up. Oops!!]

[Actual level of murderous intent: unclear...?]

...Siffrin-kun, do I detect the urge for violence?

[Sorry, Siffrin. There's a ripple of amusement. This is such a random, sudden broadcast to see.]

[loopsiedaisy]

[Aaaaaargh.]

You wouldn't be much of a detective if you didn't!

[truthdecided]

Dare I ask what they did to provoke you?

[It may be private, but now that it's out in the open, he can't help himself.]

[loopsiedaisy]

I'd feel bad if I took away your opportunity to sleuth it out!!

[They absolutely don't actually intend this as encouragement, they're just Like This, they may regret saying that later...]

[truthdecided]

Well, the fact that you're both Siffrin has piqued my curiosity for some time...

[Heh, heh... You're just enabling him, buddy.]

I've wondered if it was simply a matter of a common name, or if perhaps there's some cross-dimensional tomfoolery at play, leading to two of you existing from entirely different sets of outcomes. Branching timelines aren't impossible either.

[Wait, stardust really did tell some people he was Siffrin at some point? How in the stars did he get away with...]

[Whatever!! It's not important!!!]

[loopsiedaisy]

Are you sure you're a detective and not a fantasy writer?

[truthdecided]

There's already precedent with the seemingly repeating events within this world. The ruined copy of the Archives immediately comes to mind.

[...]

There is, isn't there...

[Urgh. Yet another thing they were really trying not to think about.]

[...well, they're definitely not going to start dwelling on it now!!]

[2/2]

[loopsiedaisy]

Carry on then, gumshoe! That's definitely it!

[The word 'gumshoe' probably doesn't actually exist in their setting but shhhh we're pretending there's something that translates because it makes a good nickname -]

[truthdecided]

...Still, I suspect whatever business you have with them, you didn't intend on airing it so publicly.

[Should he press? Should he be satisfied with his current deduction?]

While I doubt you need to explain yourself to anyone, don't be surprised if you get swarmed with nosy and concerned individuals. We have quite a few bleeding hearts.

[loopsiedaisy]

Impressive deduction!!

[...]

[YEAH. YEAH THEY SURE ARE NOTICING THAT RIGHT NOW. <- an emotion they do not bother trying to keep from broadcasting (just that one though!!)]

[truthdecided]

[Clearly, this is an uncomfortable point of discussion. He can feel the emotion permeating through the pearl...]

Perhaps you ought to visit the Spire. You could use one of the training dummies for stress relief.

[loopsiedaisy]

[Siffrin(?) has to suppress a burst of slightly manic laughter. Yeah! That'll work! As if taking out their anger on Sadnesses ever helped for long! And Sadnesses had a form they could really tear into, in a way that felt almost human, wriggling and struggling -]

[They cut off the intrusive thought before it can start really broadcasting over the Grumpearl. No need to alarm anyone even more, teehee!]

I'll keep it in mind~
