β Hmmm... I guess I was wrong, then. My bad! β

ββ¦Huh.β
βMolly itβs. Itβs a liquid. Water is wet.β
β Are you sure, Sylvie? Are you really, really sure? β
β Maybe itβs all in your imagination... β
doctorsleepytimeβ:
βSo if water is wet then lava is wet. I think itβs safe to say that water is wet, right?β
β I thought it was a solid. β

β . . yes!! YES !!Β β
β SUPREME ACID!!!Β βΒ
βΒ Supreme acid? β
...Yeah, sure, sheβll go along with this! Why not, it seems like fun.
βΒ I think I get it now, Boss! Itβs a type of acid only you can wield... it must make you pretty strong! β

β β¦Β β
β . . sssSSSSSSSSACID! IS. WHAT I MEANT to say. aha. oops.Β β
β Is sacid a new type of acid? β
doctorsleepytimeβ:
βI havenβt either, Giovanniβs quote unquoteΒ βlavacidβ aside.β
βWhenever you think about it though itβs sortβve like a liquid. And all liquids are wet arenβt they?β
β Yeah? Thatβs true, they are pretty wet. Maybe it feels like... weird slime? Thick slime? β
Now sheβs genuinely curious about this. Look what youβve done, Sylvie.

βWhat I mean is,Β dealing with child labor can beβ¦ tricky, if youβre twelve years of age and the business is family-run. But if we have records that your work has been interfering with your educationβ¦β
She takes a deep breath in.
ββ¦Molly, Iβd like to pursue this issue. In court. Iβll drop you off at home tonight, as long as you feel safe, butβ¦ I canβt stand by and watch knowing youβre living like this.β
β ...What? β
Court. Court? Molly blinks and stays quiet for a few moments before quickly shaking her head, panic clear on her face as she tries to stumble out a few words--- any words--- she can.
β I-I canβt let this go to court! The toy store is the only way to support my dad and sister, and I donβt want them to get mad at me! Iβm sorry, officer, but I really canβt let this happen- β
Breathe, Molly, breathe. Sheβs trying to help, donβt you get it? But itβs scary, the thought of being separated from what sheβs familiar with and risking the backlash.Β
doctorsleepytimeβ:
βHey, so, I have a legitimate question? Iβm not really a geologist or anything that studies Earth-y kinda things.β
βAnd I swear this is an actual question, so please take it seriously. Itβs for important research.β
βIs lava wet?β
β I mean... I guess... technically? Iβve never seen it in person. β

β Fueee, where am I...? β
Kanon fiddles with her hands as she walks down the street, absolutely clueless to her surroundings. She knows that her sense of direction is subpar at best, but this is a whole new record! Thereβs no one familiar nearby, and her phone is out of battery... does she wait for a bus? Keep walking and pray things turn out okay? That wonβt help...Β
β W-Why am I so bad at this? Iβm going to be late for practice at this rate... β

The crunching of leaves was the only sound he could hear, eery silence still surrounding him. His partner and deputy were gone without a trace, the last thing he could remember doing with them was fighting off their usual monster. This isnβt typical behavior for either of them, and he canβt help but feel a twinge of nervousness as he continues walking through the forest. Was this Orangusnakeβs doing? No, no, he would have revealed himself by now. Could it have been someone else? Maybe what they were fighting took them...Β
Well, whatever the case may be, he feels like he isnβt alone. Something... or someone was watching him. His grip on his katana tightens, eyes narrowing.
βΒ Iβm not afraid of you. β
Hereβs to hoping this is a quick fight, for the sake of his missing friends.Β

plotted starter for @graspingstarsβ !
Gorouβs forgetting something.
βCourse, he doesnβt know what. Whole point of forgetting is that you canβt remember. At least, he thinks? Is that how it works? Is he forgetting how forgetting works? Golly gosh, he doesnβt know! Ainβt that funny?
A - at least heΒ DOES know that whateverβs bothering himβs important! He can tell by the tummy ache heβs been getting all day. Only happens if he had plans!Β βCus plans are kinda spooky. Almost as spooky as (he shudders) bad doughnuts.
Β β¦.βSpecially if those plans expected something big outta him.Β
Well, either way, he ainβt gonna figure out whatβs missing if heβs feeling worse than a arma-thingy on a whatsit-way! As he paces by the only road leading into Red.wood Run, he pauses to take a bite of the sour cream cake doughnut heβs been carrying. He relaxes instantly.
Whew, thatβs better!Β Now, about what heβs missingβ¦
Gosh - itβs a real headscratcher. In that Gorou literally takes his hat off and scratches at his fluffy orange curls as he tries to come up with the answer. But the thing with answers is that they can be just so darn hard to find. Hard enough to give you an even worse tummy ache, if you arenβt careful! Heck, you could even get one for your head, so he hears! And gee, he didnβt want that. So, upbeat from his tag-a-long snack, Gorou justβ¦ gives up thinking about it. With a smile, he just shrugs it off.Β
Aw, well - guess heβll never know what he forgot! And thatβs okay! Least heβs got a doughnut.Β
Content, he doesnβt hear the squealing hiss of a big yellow bus coming to a stop in Redwoodβs sad excuse for a parking lot behind him.
Molly canβt say sheβs too excited for this field trip. First of all, her dad is the chaperone, which means things are kinda destined to go wrong one way or another. And second, field trips make her... anxious now? Afraid? It feels like thereβs a sick feeling in her stomach, and all she can do is stare out at the window as trees fly pass the bus. She hopes things turn out okay, at the very least. Not perfect, just okay. No fighting, no Epithet stealing, nothing. Just normal.
But her hopes seem to die just a bit as she sees the state of the area theyβre in. All broken down, empty-- hey, donβt criminals linger around here? is whispered between classmates. Regardless, nothing will change if she just stays here, so she gets up and follows the kids outside. Apparently someone is going to lead them around? Something like that, she wasnβt paying too much attention.

ββ¦Iβ¦ see.β
Percy goes silent for a minute, her heart drumming like the rain on the roof of the car. It really is almost storming now, isnβt it?
βWhat of your schoolwork? I canβt imagine this much work is easily balanced with a full-time education. Andβ forgive me for asking, but this is an important pointβ have you ever missed school to run your familyβs shop?β
The way she talks, it seems like Percy is being rather cautious about saying something in response to Molly that might upset her. Thatβ¦ or, perhaps thereβs another reason sheβs jumping straight from one point to another.
βΒ Ahaha... uh... β
Ouch. She doesnβt really like to admit about all the days of school sheβs had to skip, or the times she straight up fell asleep in class due to her long shifts. Complaining about it is selfish, sheβs doing the best she can to support the family she has left. Thatβs not a bad thing, right? Even if it gets frustrating at times... or often...
β I have... mostly because thereβs no one else to take my place. My grades havenβt really been the best, and thatβs my fault. β
She should just... work harder! Yeah. That would help.
