3rd Course - Necessary Ingredients [Video]

[starofpleiades]

[Kazumi's expression is worried; not surprising after how the last few weeks have been. She wasn't really affected much, but she saw people who were...]

Is everyone alright now? Back to normal...?

[She sighs, looking a bit forlorn.]

Things making people act unlike themselves... what's "like yourself" though, other than how you acted before? I mean... what makes up a person? Our bodies? Our actions? Our memories?

[Memories...]

...hey, what do memories mean to you? How important are your memories? If you had something painful in your past... do you think it'd be better not to remember it?

[She's taking the video just outside the apartment complex, so anyone is free to run into her there or respond over the vine]

You mean it was an accident? How did that happen?

[tookupthesword]

Well... I made it using all that dirt everyone uses. And it turned out blue.

[starofpleiades]

Oh! Well... I guess you must have had blue on the mind? It matches your hair!

[tookupthesword]

And my eyes... and my soul gem...

[starofpleiades]

Well... at least it doesn't match your skin?

[tookupthesword]

Do you know how many blue clothes I have!? Even my bed blankets are blue!

[starofpleiades]

M-maybe you should have someone else make things for you?

[tookupthesword]

Do you make things that are the same color?

[starofpleiades]

Um, no? They turn out the normal colors...

[tookupthesword]

Blue's a normal color!

[starofpleiades]

I mean normal for whatever they are... though I guess blankets and clothes can be blue normally, huh?

[tookupthesword]

This is a horrible conversation!

[starofpleiades]

Eh, how so!?

[tookupthesword]

Because I never really put that much thought into how much around me is blue...

[starofpleiades]

Well, maybe you could start changing that?

[tookupthesword]

After so many years, I think it's just too late now.

[starofpleiades]

Well, I mean, go home today and maybe make some different colored stuff around the house!

[tookupthesword]

I... kind of got lost the first time I went out.

[starofpleiades]

Out? You mean to the wild places to get the material?

[tookupthesword]

Yeah, ever since then I haven't really tried again.

[starofpleiades]

Oh, well... maybe I could go with you!

[tookupthesword]

I wouldn't want my bad luck to get you lost as well.

[starofpleiades]

Hehe, well, I've always been okay the few times I've been out there, so maybe it would cancel out and we'd be fine?

[tookupthesword]

Or we could be like magnets and... unmagnet ourselves. If you ever messed with them.

[starofpleiades]

I... huh?

I thought opposite magnets stick together.
