3rd Conviction [Action]

[cry_camellia]

[Tralala, Tsubaki is out today (and I use the word "today" very loosely :|b), skipping happily through the village. Why? Well it's because she's off to find some chocolate parfait, of course! After all, that's what you do when you're from a cracky AU in which things are much more light-hearted and no one ever goes blind or gets ordered to kill

[Since "today" is loosely interpreted, let's just say Litchi's back home again from her trip to the mountains. Yay~

She's on her way to the grocery store and just kind of stops and stares at Tsubaki skipping along, shocked. When she'd left, the girl had been... well. Not in skipping condition, to put it lightly.

Have a bewildered tone.] Tsubaki?

[Yay! It's the owner of the friendly clinic where stomach aches related to over-indulging in parfait disappear in the blink of an eye~!]

Litchi! It's so good to see you! [Oh, the enthusiasm!!1]

[...Tsubaki, did you get into the painkillers? Still, she can't help but smile.]

It's great to see you! How are you feeling?

[cry_camellia]

[If they were brightly colored and left out somewhere within reach, then yes. Quite possibly. Because nothing bad ever happens to anyone, so what's the harm?]

On top of the world, and yourself?

[catus_carnival]

Hey, Red Lady!

[pouncing along with her]

[cry_camellia]

Hello there, Tao! Fancy seeing you here. Where are you off to?

[keeps skipping. ain't life grand?]

[catus_carnival]

Tao was looking for meatbuns. Why are you so happy today, meow?

[At least Blazen Tao is not familiar with Tsubaki's...hobbies. OR IS SHE.]

[cry_camellia]

[What hobbies? She has no hobbies. SHUT UP. ;_;]

Because it's such a nice day, of course. Meatbuns, huh? Well, I'm looking for parfait. Maybe there's a restaurant around here that'll serve both!

[As someone not currently affected by the mess that is this experiment, one becomes much more aware of the effects it has on other people, even ones they don't know.

And that's why Caesar can only stare at Tsubaki as she skips by. Even if it's likely an effect of the experiment itself, it's still odd to see someone so... happy during an experiment like this. And all he can do is stare.]

[cry_camellia]

[Oh look! An innocent bystander... who doesn't look particularly cheerful. That won't do! She'd better skip on over.]

Good morning!

[mydearapple]

[...she's so happy, it almost hurts. Still, he should return the greeting.]

Good morning. [...uh.] You seem to be in a good mood.

[cry_camellia]

[If her normal self could see her now, she'd be hurting too.]

Well, it's a lovely day, isn't it? And in addition to that, I was just setting out to have some delicious parfait!

...You don't seem too pleased, though. Is something troubling you?

[vulcanblazer]

[...Well, who's that over there? Someone he hasn't talked to in far too long.

...But. Is she. Skipping. Really. Whatever.]

Hey Tsubaki! You sure look like you're in a good mood today.

[cry_camellia]

[Far, far too long! But... that's not the reason why she won't remember you, Adell.

Anyway, wait. Hold up. Was that her name being said? Was this finally a friendly greeting being initiated by someone else!?]

Hello! [She gives him the once-over, and the hair is definitely familiar somehow, but nope. She doesn't know you.] I'm in a very good mood today! Although... my sincerest apologies for this, but... have we met?

[vulcanblazer]

I'm Adell? Don't tell me that...

[...Wait, this has happened plenty of times already this week.]

...Never mind. Don't worry about it. I'm one of Noel's friends.

[cry_camellia]

Really? That's wonderful! I'm so glad to hear she's been making new friends. [Tsubaki assumed she'd been keeping to herself and only buying things over the internet for some reason. And assisting wanted criminals on the side, occasionally.]

Say, why don't we celebrate with some chocolate parfaits?
