no such luck (canon is rune factory)

[scatteredflowers]

So I can't stay in Trampoli.

[Promises to avoid war or horror have to count for something, right?

...Right?]

Heh...

I'll be lost no matter what.

[Well, that's depressing. Any requests?]

Storms destroy the crops. We go hungry...but the storm doesn't know what it's done.

[...Thanks.]

There's nothing that I want. I just need to be alone and work.

[I'll keep that in mind.]

[Wow. Depressing.]

Baah.

[Why are you making me do this, mun?]

[scatteredflowers]

[...oh my god is that a monster

That's a monster...]

...

[...Kross crouches down to be on eye level with it. He hopes it doesn't run away.]

[sunshinewooly]

[Nope. Just gonna sit here.]

['sup.]

[scatteredflowers]

[Lifts his hand...

...drops his hand without stretching it out. He shouldn't get his hopes up.]

You have to be careful around here. Even monsters can't live freely.

[Micah waddles a bit closer, tilting his head curiously.]

Bah? [Why so glum, chum?]

[rainbowing]

Come now! Lifes too short to be stuck in the muck like that!

[ daria. daria you're an elf. ]

Look on the bright side of things, like a rainbow! They always come out after big storms!

[scatteredflowers]

[sweet grimoire you're loud]

...I prefer the rain.

[rainbowing]

[ RAINBOWWW ]

Oooh one of those mysterious artsy types, are you?

[scatteredflowers]

It washes everything clean...and quenches the plants' thirst.

[rainbowing]

Oooh a poem!? Tell me more!

[scatteredflowers]

[what



...he slowly shakes his head, looking a little confused.]

[rainbowing]

You were on a roll! Here, lemmie' help - where were we? 'It washes everything clean, and quenches the plants thirst... '

Uhhh... ooh! 'Casting up a big bright rainbow into the heavens!'

[scatteredflowers]

[oh.]

I'm no poet.

[rainbowing]

Nonsense! It was such a beautiful verse! It brought tears to my eyes!

Bravo! Encore!

[barelythere]

...For what purpose?

ISN'T HE GREAT - oh lmao how ~ghostly~ will this thread be

[scatteredflowers]

To keep a meal on my plate and a roof over my head.

[He doesn't need anything more than that.]

THE BEST askdhfasfa. sorry I'm slow ;u;

[barelythere]

...That's it, huh...? No... no big hopes or crazy dreams...?

no worries

[scatteredflowers]

Dreams? [...] No. None of those would ever come true.

[barelythere]

...Really...?

...I mean... they couldn't be that improbable... right?

[scatteredflowers]

Maybe for someone else. Joyful dreams don't visit me anymore.

[barelythere]

...Can I... ask why?

[scatteredflowers]

...When there's fighting, it's not like books say it is. The heroes don't win. Everyone hurts, and there's no end. Like the turn of the seasons, it all comes back someday...
