Are you?

[ Her temper flares for a second before she sighs, and her exhaustion from knowing what she is and from being connected to others settles in. ]

Tell me, Plum. What do you want to happen? It doesn't have to be what you think will or can happen, but what do you want to happen?

[cluedin]

I have found, with time, the things we want do not tend to matter too much. [ it's matter of fact, and she looks at their surroundings for a second ] So I have stopped wanting, for the most part.

[ there's a pause ]

But I suppose I would rather no one get hurt, should it be an option.

[sadiskick]

[ Isn't that a mood? Wanting something but it not mattering at the moment.

Wanting no one to be hurt... It's not something she can always agree to or understand, but... ]

If those earnest, overeager types have any say in things and actually follow through and act on their words, you might get what you want.

[ It's a big if, though. Her faith is kind of low. ]

[cluedin]

[ she raises an eyebrow ]

Oh, I highly doubt so. There is no life without death or suffering. These things are inevitable. But wants are never so logical, are they?

[sadiskick]

I may not be thousands of years old, but I've lived long enough to know life doesn't always follow logic.

[ Sometimes, protags protag and make a mess of things. ]

[cluedin]

How oddly optimistic of you.

[ can't relate!!! ]

I suppose I will see, won't I?

[sadiskick]

Is it?

[ Optimism is not something that's often used in conjunction with her. ]

I'm not holding my breath, but I can't deny miracles can happen.

[cluedin]

I've never experienced one myself, but strange things do happen here.

[sadiskick]

Strange is one word for it. I'd say deplorable for most things.

[cluedin]

[ dryly; ]

Only most?

[sadiskick]

Yeah. Only most.

[ There are unfortunately a couple people who make things a little less terrible. ]

That can change.

[ such as whenever she figures out Mammom fucking died, but I'm not worrying about that until Monday. ]

[cluedin]

[ she looks at the boxes and hums a little ]

Yes... I do believe it could still. But most is a better outlook than things could've been.

[ all things. considered ]

[sadiskick]

[ Sometimes, she feels like she can understand Plum, and that's what makes Meltryllis like her more than her sisters. ]

Well, I'm sure you'll be able to tell if or when most changes to all.

[ Her smile is so sharp there's no way to call it happy. ]

[cluedin]

Yes... I do believe I will be able to feel your ire throughout this place.

[ alive or not. ]

[sadiskick]

There will be no hiding it.

[ Alive or not. ]
