Well... I had mostly just been eating the things Nana made... And I told Minato-kun that we should learn, so...

[ Which, she's still a little bit ????? at, honestly. Why did she say 'we' instead of 'you' to him? Hrm. ]

Anyway, anyway, that's not why I'm here.

[cyclists]

Oh? Then how may I be of service to you?

[specialdog]

I did what you said!

[ She manipulated Valvatorez and Minato into saying that she had livened their spirits and energized them! And Shess said he would feel that way if she gave him sweets, and she did! So! She's here to collect!!! ]

[cyclists]

[terrible thing is

it counts

lune will seem to pause thoughtfully, as if considering something. and then there is a laugh in their voice]

So you did, so you did.

Then I will be happy to grant you what you desire.

[which will be that charging cord and power outlet in her house, nice]

[specialdog]

Hehe! It wasn't as hard as I expected.

[ mostly because? she cheated? but that's fine ]

[cyclists]

Ahaha, you are capable of great feats if you would but simply open your heart to the possibility.

I hope you know that.

[specialdog]

It's more like... Here, I'm capable of average feats!

Back home I can be much more amazing.

[cyclists]

Oh? I rather think that being able to influence other people through actions and words is rather amazing.

It is one of my favorite abilities that humans possess.

[specialdog]

But usually I wouldn't have to use either. I could just change people's settings however I wanted.

[cyclists]

Ahaha, my request must have just felt like a hassle then.

[specialdog]

It was.

But I can charge my phone now, so I'm happy!

[cyclists]

[there is another pleased laugh at that]

Then I am very happy that you are happy, Akane.

[specialdog]

What about you? How are you doing?

[cyclists]

Hmmm.... rather well.

[but that’s like

always how lune is]

Thank you for asking.

[specialdog]

Any fun plans for the week?

Hey, do you get bored when you're just observing all this instead of having to participate?

[ a testament to how much she's come to like Lune that she doesn't say that in a hyper-aggressive accusatory tone... ]

[cyclists]

Ahaha, my plans often revolve around what each of you would like to do. I like learning all that it is that you wish to share with me.

I suppose that is why I do not often have time to get bored - humanity is always enjoyable for me to witness.

[specialdog]

Big fan of people-watching huh...?

You'll definitely like TV.

[cyclists]

[there is a laugh]

Another way to consume the arts, correct?

I do not believe we have anything fashioned here to allow us to watch your shows yet... but perhaps with another gateway opened, we might be lucky enough to find something.

[specialdog]

[ she nods! ]

We got some cool stuff from the last gateway, even though it was a huge hassle. I hope we get cool stuff from this one, too.

[cyclists]

Ah, yes. You all did quite well in your last challenge.

Thank you for handling that matter for us.

[specialdog]

Thanks! And you're welcome!

It sucked!

[cyclists]

From what I could tell, it looked quite difficult.

Do you still harbor frustrations over it?

[specialdog]

[ Her smile... Falls.


Hm. ]

I didn't like the hands. I didn't like that it reached out for me like that. [ The dark. The corruption. ]

[cyclists]

That it beckoned you? Or that it would touch you?

[akane seems to have a thing about being touched after all]

[specialdog]

[ Both. Both. ]

... That it would touch me.
