"H... hello? Um, this is me-- ah, Noire! I'm Noire, and I'm very sorry for missing you somehow... I promise I'm not avoiding you, unless you're scary or you're Mo-- trying to curse me. U-um, so when I can figure out how to-- ( beeps ensue, followed by a shriek of fright ) O-oh, no! What did I push, how do I-- make it-- oh gods, did I break it?! W-why can't we just talk in person?!"

...

You're going to sit down now.

action;

[memlost]

Oh! Well. Okay.

[ He sits. He may be slightly unhinged, but he still knows better than to challenge that. ]

action;

[bloodandblunder]

I'll be happy to bake with you soon, but I think you should focus on something quieter today.

action;

[memlost]

[ He is so mildly bamboozled right now. But if Noire wants something, then he will do his very best. ]

Something quieter, huh? I suppose I could go to the library.

action;

[bloodandblunder]

Yes! [ GOOD. ] That seems [ safe ] restful!

action;

[memlost]

Good! Then I'll grab my equipment and go right now. By the way, did you know about baseball bats? I've been thinking they could make great weapons! Maybe I'll give it a test run today.

[ WHOO GONNA KNOCK SOME HEADS AROUND ]

action;

[bloodandblunder]

You'd prefer that over your usual ones?

[ MORGAN CALM DOWN. ]

action;

[memlost]

Well, you know. Weapons break, tomes run out. You can never have too many weapons! And there's something really satisfying about swinging around a big piece of metal with all your might.

action;

[bloodandblunder]

As long as you don't accidentally hit someone...

action;

[memlost]

No promises! It gets a little dark in there, heh.

action;

[bloodandblunder]

We can find a light source! But you really should be careful!

action;

[memlost]

"We"? Do you wanna come with?!

[ focusing on the important part ]

action;

[bloodandblunder]

I don't think letting you go alone is the best idea right now.

action;

[memlost]

Then it's a date! You can take care of those ingredients while I get my stuff, and I'll meet you at your house! See you soon!

[ YEAAAHH OFF HE GOES ]

action;

[bloodandblunder]

... I should bring along the medicine, too. [ HOUSEWARDS, HO. ]

action;

[memlost]

[ PRECAUTION IS FOR DWEEBS, NOIRE. As promised, he grabs all his usual dungeontunnel-crawling equipment plus one gleaming baseball bat, which he rests happily on his shoulder as he invites himself into her house. ]

I'm here! Ready to go?

action;

[bloodandblunder]

[ Oh, boy, the bat-- but she's all geared up and stepping towards him. ]

Yes. I'm sorry for the wait.

action;

[memlost]

Great.

[ He reaches for her hand so he can all but drag her with him. Gotta go, gotta go!! ]

action;

[bloodandblunder]

[ DRAGGED AFTER HIM LIKE A KITE-- okay no, she's managing to keep her balance. ]

W-why the rush? Did I really take that long?

action;

[memlost]

[ Once she's found her balance, he'll be kind enough to walk at a pace she can match, hand still cheerfully clasping hers. ]

Not really. I'm just eager to get going, knock some monsters around, and read some books! Ooh, but we should do something for you too while we're there. What'll it be? A walk in the park? A trip to the fair?

action;

[bloodandblunder]

I don't mind just staying with you... if it's you, then I'm happy.

[ even if she's still somewhat concerned for his behavior. ]

action;

[memlost]

Aw, Noire. You're almost too good to be true. Sometimes I wish I could just marry you. Which is really pretty silly when there'd be no rhyme or reason to it here, ha.

[ MORGAN ]

action;

[bloodandblunder]

[ MORGAN?!

Hold on, she's still making choking noises. ]

action;

[memlost]

[ He hardly even notices her choking, his train of thought already happily chugging along. ]

Plus I'd definitely want Mother there, and you'd want yours, of course. And we'd hardly be able to do normal husband-wife things like live together and have children and all that.

action;

[bloodandblunder]

T-that's... probably something that can wait--

[ MORGAN... ]
