#loop asks

[loopadoop]

You said that an early introduction with the rest of the party surely won't derail things if that chat with the kid didn't, but what if it did? What then, Loop?

Well I... I don't really know, in that case. Not sure what would go afoul, but despite your attempt to worry me I highly doubt anything really could because of it.

And hey, worst case scenario, nothing a good ol' loop can't fix~.

[loopadoop]

You know there's a river in town, right? You can go check out your reflection there, see what you look like. Not like anyone will remember seeing you around next loop anyway

True, true, I could always use the water if I can't manage a proper mirror. Would be a good excuse to check a couple of things off my little list of things to do, too. Only real risk is bumping into any of the saviors prematurely I suppose...

... Ah, crab it, what'd be the harm? Already broke the exclusivity, so even if I do run into them it shouldn't muddy much up I figure.

[loopadoop]

Flower for you!

*it’s a small spiky darkless flower… it reminds you of something*

... Stars, my memory isn't that poor you know. You didn't need to go through the hassle of getting such a special flower to make me remember something so grand. Top marks for the effort though, I certainly don't remember having ever seen one like this before. Hopefully it's not too rare a flower that I'd need to preserve it with utmost care.

(You got the Spiky Flower. You think of where to put it for a second before setting it in the brim of Soupe's hat for the flair. Also- )

(You got a Recollection of Wishing... Not like you could ever forget it by now.)

[When equipped, any wishes made will be doubly as effective no matter the method. The correct method will still provide the best results, however.]

[loopadoop]

If say, theoretically, someone could send a message to your ORIGINAL party, for you, what would you say? Hm? What would you say to them if given that chance? But it’s only theoretical, of course… *wink*

Stars, you bunch are quite set on this other party business. Trying to vent your envy of the saviors through yours truly?

Besides, even if I did theoretically have one, what good would sending a message do now? I could speak until my throat goes sore but no matter what advice I'd share, what topics I'd want to discuss, or what apologies I'd try to make it wouldn't change anything no matter how much I'd want it to. The damage has been long done, and no spiffy letter saying "I wish I was more open with all of you" will fix any of it unfortunately...

Hm, looks like I gave you some proper fodder after all didn't I? Guess my time under this tree has made me lose some of my secret-keeping touch~.

[loopadoop]

Is your head something like a physical thing? Something that could be touched like a regular head? Or is it more ethereal and gaseous like an actual star? It shifts which makes me think actual star, but you do have regular eyes.

I haven't gotten a good look of my own noggin to get the full gist of what you all see - not beyond the stuffed toy of my likeness anyways - but from... I'll say "experience" it's a mix of both. There's certainly a good bit extra to look a star's part, but there's still something of a head with the standard fixings amidst the light and spectacle of it all. Wouldn't have much use for pillows or anything otherwise.

Frankly I'm quite glad I've got some leeway with my starry-ness. Wouldn't be all too comfortable having a full blown spikey head for a myriad of reasons I can imagine.

[loopadoop]

If you could tell anything to YOUR party, what would you say?

W-Why, whatever are you trying to insinuate? My little party of sorts is right here, I can tell them whatever I need to whenever I need to like "Thank you for your time", or "I enjoy your company", or "I'm Sorry"...

... Let's go to a different discussion topic, shall we?

[loopadoop]

My best idea on what the whole canned sadness thing is thus,

If a product is free they are clearly getting profit from elsewhere…

They clearly have some kind of ties to whatever the index is, so they’re clearly some kind of divine….

And also the Ad thing did mention boredom…

So maybe the whole thing is basically a kind of entertainment for divine? Like you open the can, and deities watch you fight?

Oh dear.

-Detective O’Ryan

Well I guess that's not too far from how things are now - You've all been here for a good bit and seen your fair shares, so fighting wouldn't be too off the table. Not 100% on the profit angle still, but you're the detective here so you possibly know a great deal more than me in that field.

Regardless, whatever fights I pick with any of the sadnesses from the thing in there or the sample here will be on my terms, that much I can promise. I'd attempt a scrap with the sample now if I knew at least a bit more about the oh-so elusive "Claustrophobie" if there is any further info to garner, but I digress.

[loopadoop]

I think you should open up the can when you’re ready to fight it??? Or do it when frin around just to mess with them. But it’s up to you loop! 

Well that is how the lot was advertised, although I can't imagine the market for "Canned Sadness" is all too big outside of maybe people who research them, and even then they don't seem to be the target demographic. Least I didn't have to pay for any of it, I guess.

I'm sure it'll all be handy when I next get the itch to fight, so I'll save it until then. In any case, I'm sure it'll be an easy fight for yours truly.
