03)) this is my happy face

[andcountry]

I've been feeling a bit different these past couple of weeks, the events thereof notwithstanding. Normally I don't like to get my hopes up about the probable length of my lifespan in a survival situation. I am small and, admittedly, [ pause ] reckless. A conservative estimate gives me about five minutes, and I am just fine with that. I am in awe of

I'm glad your magic manifested when it did. I don't think you'd be great company if you got eaten.

[ It's over, so she feels like she can joke about it. A little. ]

[andcountry]

It would be a shame; I've sort of been enjoying living with you.

[forgotmyforge]

I have too. ♥

[ After a few minutes, she adds: ] Are you still practicing your spell?

[ It really pings her for some unknown reason her dreeeeeam. ]

[andcountry]

[ Eee, he gets a heart!

... And. Flame. Your little brother is a derp. He actually nods at the journal. Before derpderp actually remembers that he has to write it down. ]

Yes!

[forgotmyforge]

[ She is totes okay with the derp. If she was around, she'd giggle. ]

I'd like to watch sometime, if you don't find it too distracting.

[andcountry]

I wouldn't mind, though I'm not sure why you'd want to. It isn't very exciting.

[forgotmyforge]

There's something very familiar about it. I'm not sure why. [ She doodles a few little circles, like she's trying to figure out what it is, but. no luck. ]

[andcountry]

[ Makes a little doodle of a stick figure inside a bubble, with its arms raised, and the bubble is getting hit with... uh, nothing in particular. It's just lines bouncing off. It's supposed to be magic, I guess. ]

[forgotmyforge]

[ Will see your doodle and raise it by adding another person in the bubble. Pen taps... Hmm. ]

[andcountry]

I have no idea.

[forgotmyforge]

That's okay. Maybe I'll figure it out by watching.

[andcountry]

Maybe.

[ Feels the need to write "pewpew" over the lines that are being shot at the bubble. ]

[forgotmyforge]

[ In response, she draws a little speech bubble for her second shielded person and writes in "Thank you." ]

So what do you think these goggles are for?

[ Hers are on a top hat. They don't seem very effective there. ]

[andcountry]

[ Makes a little speech bubble for the stick figure casting the shield (who is probably at least a little smaller, yeah?) that just says, "♥!!" ]

For keeping things out of our eyes

[ Ahem, that was snark. Let's try again. ]

Possibly for decoration? I've been seeing a lot that have gears sticking out for no particular reason and don't seem to do anything.

I haven't had to use mine yet, but they look good sitting on my head!

[forgotmyforge]

I think you're right. Mine have green lenses... they make everything look very strange.

[andcountry]

Green? I never would have considered that color for you.
