Who: You!
Where: The lobby
When: Day 46, morning (forward dated)

[ Good morning! Once again, the lobby is filled with boxes and . . . boxes . . . and boxes. . .

This time, they obscure the kitchen as well as the exit door. So if you wanted to eat, then . . . you know. If you wanted to eat? Hmmm, how high can you jump? There are so many boxes here, some units even having twice as many boxes as other units do. Wow . . .

Well, what can you expect? You're idols, after all! So popular! Wow! ]

[Also offers her a match.

Literally the most useful purchase he ever made]

Better luck next time.

[searingedgelord]

[I mean that's cool and all, but she comes from a fantasy world and probably knows more about starting fire with flint and steel than with matches.

So she takes it but also looks dubious.]

What do I do with this?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You use it to start a fire. Shall I demonstrate?

[searingedgelord]

Yeah, go ahead.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Takes out another match, striking it against a hard surface so that it ignites.

Holds it up for her inspection]

[searingedgelord]

[Oh. Nice.

Takes the match he gave her and does the same thing so it lights up.]

Like a flint, but faster.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Exactly.

[Offers her the remaining matchbook if she'd like to take it]

Welcome to the future.

[searingedgelord]

Thanks.

[She takes it but also...]

What do you want in return?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Am I giving off the impression that I want something? Or are you the kind of person that hates to feel indebted to someone?

[searingedgelord]

[she snorts]

I definitely don’t care about that.

[she’s not that noble.]

Maybe you just seem like the type to have ulterior motives.

[or she has trust issues. That is very possible]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Of course I have ulterior motives. I want to know if you think that letter and other future letters of the same nature are torch-worthy.

[searingedgelord]

I'd be more surprised to get something I didn't want to set on fire.

[she has a low opinion of the audience in general ok]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh come now. What's so offensive about all the artwork from the last game?

[Points to the princess portraits]

[searingedgelord]

[Honestly she probably hasn't looked too closely at those because she half expects anything referencing the last game and Bad End to involve peels and she doesn't feel like dealing with it.]

Why does it matter what I think of what the fans send us?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It speaks of your brand. And doesn't that matter?

[searingedgelord]

[What the fuck is a brand.

Though actually...]

You sound like Infinity. But less loud.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You take that back!

[searingedgelord]

[somehow, that was not the reaction she expected]

Did I touch a sore spot?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Infinity and I are fucking polar opposites. We are nothing alike.

[searingedgelord]

She talks a lot about the fans and performance and stuff.

[though there is also a decent chance Infinity doesn't understand half of what comes out of her own mouth at any given time, but.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

She talks a fucking lot in general!

[searingedgelord]

Yeah. That’s true.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And half the time she doesn't even know what she's talking about.

[searingedgelord]

That's true, too.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Hence. Nothing. alike.
