Seventh Thread ✂ [Video (accidental)/Action to those who want to help]

[spazalot]

[The seal's video feed opens to a rather peculiar sight. A huge pile of origami paper sitting in the middle of the sidewalk greets the viewer. After a brief moment of stillness, the papers rustle and a shriek from a girl can be heard.]

AHHHH! W-w-wha--WHAT THE HECK??

[More rustling of papers. Disgruntled grumbling can be heard soon after. It

[Dryly,] Be careful what you wish for.

[At this point, she's gotten out of the pile, standing next to it when Arabia's call came in. That dry tone reminded her of a certain white-haired pretty boy...]

Gee. Never heard of that one before.

[It probably should, they're not all that dissimilar. Including the incredible vanity, superiority complex, and lack of consideration for those around them.]

Wonderful to see you've been so thorough in minding it then.

[I fear the day they meet each other.]

[Huffs.] Ever heard of an "accident"? I needed paper but not this much! [gestures to the pile beside her]

[The world will implode.]

[He shrugs idly.] And so rather than find some out, you wish. The laziness proceeds you.

[spazalot]

I was gonna find some! I was only thinking how many I needed and this happened!

[of_arabia]

And what do you intend to do with them?

[spazalot]

Make paper cranes! I'm going to make a thousand of them and see if they can make my wish strong enough.

[of_arabia]

[He blinks.]

Is this... something from your world?

[spazalot]

Hmm... I think so? Unless the legend exists in other worlds too.

video;

[of_arabia]

Not in mine.

[Hence the question.]

[of_arabia]

Is there any particular reason for it?

[He supposes there must be some story associated.]

video;

[spazalot]

[There is, Arabia.]

There's a story about it back home. A little girl got really sick and her friend started to make the cranes so that she can use the wish to make her well again.

[of_arabia]

[He lifts an eyebrow.]

And was her wish granted?

video;

[spazalot]

She... died before she could finish folding them all.
