[ week 3, wednesday ]

[alttitude]

[Jae-ha isn't in his usual spirits today for some reason! Weird. There's no odd bounce in his step, no hum of amusement, no vague smile like he's always just getting a kick out of watching everyone else.

Rather, he's going to find Rebecca rather stubbornly.]

Ah - dear Rebecca? Can I borrow your time for a moment?

Comments

[alttitude]

Point.

Well - we do often just talk.

[disclosures]

Alright. Let's talk about you. I already talked a whole lot about myself.

[alttitude]

Oh? Do you care to listen?

[he hadn't gotten that impression]

I don't mind if you'd like to talk about yourself some more.

[that's the basis of self-reflection after all]

[disclosures]

What else am I going to do? Agonize over an unfinished book?

Besides, I'm real tired of myself.

[alttitude]

Really? I think you're quite captivating.

[she's??? got so much going on? how can he be bored]

But if you're interested, I can speak about myself, I suppose. Anything you're interested in?

[disclosures]

I'm a headache.

Anyway, talk to me about your... dragon legs? The way you fly, I guess.

[alttitude]

A fun headache?

[he's trying.

anyway.]

Oh... that? I've been told it's rather... far-fetched to someone, but it's all I've known. There's an ancient prophecy where I come from about four dragon warriors that are meant to serve the king, should he ever be reincarnated again. I'm the Green Dragon, who was gifted with a leg that could send the warrior into the skies.

[disclosures]

That doesn't exist. [About those headaches.]

That's pretty far-fetched, but we're in a murder castle with titles that correspond to fairy tales. So, like, as far as believably goes, your life sounds pretty plausible.

[alttitude]

It's not exactly something I'd care to make up. I'm very proud of who I am, beautiful soaring monster and all.

[disclosures]

If that's how you want to say it.

Can you still do that jumping-flying thing?

[alttitude]

I can!

[it comes with a downside

but he doesn't seem to show any signs of side effect]

[disclosures]

Did you use the coin from the first week, or did you get it from your objective? The one from the trial had a... lot of down sides.

[alttitude]

... the first week.

[ . . . but.]

You needn't worry about the downside. I promise that I'm not someone you need to have too many concerns over.

[disclosures]

If you say so.

Are you thinking about doing your objective? Any other wishes you want granted?

[alttitude]

[ . . . . that's sudden.]

Oh?

Why do you ask?

[disclosures]

I'm thinking about doing mine, but it's sort of... weird?

[alttitude]

.... is it? Dare I ask?

[disclosures]

You have to tell me if yours is as weird as mine, okay?

[alttitude]

[he has very little to lose]

If that's what you'd like.

[disclosures]

I have to lead a sing along as a distraction. [As she talks her sentence seems to take on a questioning tone.]

[alttitude]

... interesting?

[though he'll share because - ]

I'm to find a family.

It's a rather sappy thing.

[disclosures]

Really?

Like... you need to make your own family or you need to find a family of people in the castle?

That doesn't sound too bad.

[alttitude]

The latter, hopefully - I don't intend on ever following through with the former.

[no dragon children]

[disclosures]

What, having kids or having a wife?

[alttitude]

Both.
