unfortunately I'm kind of swamped this week

unrelatedly, weird question, suppose you had a friend who was stuck in a one-month long groundhog day style time loop kinda dealio

which had some specific condition to end that that friend knew about and was aiming to achieve but didn't know for sure they'd be able to achieve this particular loop

what would you want your friend to do about it re. your state of knowledge and future loops?

you writing a book or something? if you base a character on me she has to be elegant and witty

is this like, speedrun strats, like, what does completing the Nokana Koia sidequest look like, or is it just, what form would the FYI take, or what

freeform?

like, I want this character to be realistic yk

in general would you prefer to be told or remain ignorant, would you want to send your past self messages, would you like to be read in every time, etc

does Koia have useful skills to add to the party or anything

probably not? 

unless you're about to tell me you have some secret way to help with a Godzilla-style magic monster that normal people can't see which looks like an unseasonably terrible superstorm

can't see or also can't like, radar or whatever.

not that I know how to use a radar

will Koia be in France, or perhaps you will change it to Italy, for the duration? seems unnecessary to ruin her vacation if so

the Italy trip is on the last week of the loop

it, like, has effects in the world that a typhoon doesn't

the monster I mean

probably sonar a bit

need to think it through hmm

"We should actually test that on regular witches. I wonder if I can get a pocket radar and sonar and lidar..."

"Probably. I'll look it up." Cheek-kiss.

so overall her friend shouldn't tell her?

anything they should do differently?

when we put my dog down we gave him EVERY treat in the cupboard first. let him eat himself sick. you could do that I guess.

how do they explain the treats to her?

good question, probably that is a bad idea after all.

if you can't come to Paris I'll try Kimiyo

I assume you already know everybody in our grade with a secret creative writing hobby and I should not just list them for you

yeah

but thanks, that's helpful

also for reasons of like

knowing the breadth of human experience ig

if it were me i'd definitely want to be told even if there was nothing i could do

well that's because you like feeling sorry for yourself when you aren't sublimating this tendency into bacchanalia

wow

being read like filth am I

"Guess I never really fooled anyone huh."

"Or at least not your friends."

"No, I suppose not."

is there some other thing I could possibly read you as

WOW

that was SO gratuitous

is that the thanks i get for getting you and kōji together

r00d

:3c

come on it was right there

i cannot fault you for taking the opportunity

truly i would not have recognised you if you hadn't taken it

still rude

that's me

recognizably rude

Kimiyo says she can't miss school either, pity me

woe

honestly though that's on you

like

should at minimum have invited ppl like last week or so

before all of this dumb rain

you'd think people would want to get out of the rain. anyway it came together pretty last minute

yeah

well, even if no one comes with, it's still Paris

or so I hear

I've never been

"Hey how would you feel about going to Paris sometime?"
