[ maybe she should do more smh :/ ]

Yeah. [ ... ] Are you feeling alright, Alex?

[camena]

[ nahhhh ]

Huh? [ her emotions do a bit of a worried squiggly thing, but generally they're resting at a calm. ] Uh, yeah? I'm fine. I got all healed up so it's not like I'm sick anymore.

[gnosia]

[ their own emotions are still puzzled but, hmmm. ]

I'm glad you aren't sick anymore. [ which is said genuinely. though, they'll raise a hand to lightly tap the arm in which they are still kabedoning?? them with? ] Then may I ask what this is about?

[camena]

[ she is realizing their position for the first time now, actually. with a wave of embarrassment, she pulls back immediately. ]

Oh. Uhhh. Huh? I don't know.

[gnosia]

[ alex's wave of embarrassment has setsu's cheeks tint a lil pink, feeling it as their own. huh. this is strange. ]

You don't know? [ it's not that Setsu doubts her. which is probably why Setsu reacted the way they did when Alex did it. were it someone else, uh. hm. well. wouldn't have gone well. but it doesn't seem like something Alex would do so-- ] ...Were you cursed?

[camena]

What? No, who would curse...

[ wait hold on ]

Milkshake.

[gnosia]

[ ?? ]

Milkshake?

[camena]

[ okay well that response makes alex assume that setsu didn't leave it there... so she is a little annoyed now, but not at setsu. ]

Ugh, nothing. Just—you know how the food here can make people weird sometimes? Like the hot dogs last week.

[gnosia]

Jonas did mention last week to avoid trying any of the special food... [ so they haven't. except, ]

Is that what it is? [ wait ] Did you have the special milkshake?

[camena]

... Maybe.

[ despite being openly annoyed, she is a tiny bit amused though. ]

But yeah, keep avoiding it. It makes you weird.

[gnosia]

[ well, ] I.. should probably mention then that it doesn't apply to just the ones listed as "special." [ help, a smidge feeling of embarrassment. ]

I would avoid the fried milk too.

[camena]

What is with this place and cursed food?!

[gnosia]

It's a bit overkill with everything else happening on top of it...

[camena]

[ and now she is just standing here contemplating why... she had wanted to kabedon people so bad... she doesn't even know the word kabedon... what is this.

although, ]

Some of the effects are pretty funny, though. [ hehe :3c ]

[gnosia]

[ that would make both of them. oblivious to kabedon. ]

...The fried milk makes you keep uttering "moo." [ don't ask why they know. ]

[camena]

[ she laughs, amusement overtaking annoyance ]

So I should hang out just to see it happen to other people.

[gnosia]

It only lasts at most an hour so, if your timing is right.

[ but feeling that amusement, they can't help but crack a smile. ]

[camena]

Wanna go loiter at the diner and see if we catch someone?

[gnosia]

If that's what you want to do, sure.

[ as long as it isn't setsu again. ]

[camena]

And we can gossip.

[ you said! you said we could!!! ]

[gnosia]

[ wtf that icon is so cute i want a ksith ]

Gossiping at the diner while watching out for "mooing" players.

[ yes, yes. there is a tinge of amusement there. let's go let's go. ]

[camena]

Yeah, regular teenager stuff.

[ she will lead the way toward the diner. ]

[gnosia]

Is it?

[ this is a first for them so there's just a feeling of minor confusion on the whole matter. but, when they come into the diner, it at least smells pleasant in here. tasty treats! ] Mmm.. This was about the curse I mentioned, right? During trial.

[camena]

The gossip part yes, the mooing part... less often, but still yes.

[ high school cafeterias are a lawless land with all kinds of sounds. ]

Yeah—I wanna hear how that went.

[gnosia]

Huh...

[ setsu is thinking fried milk that make you moo is normal in alex's world now i guess. ]

It... well, it started on Tuesday. It ended around... Thursday, after I got back from the excursion. [ oofa doofa ] Basically, it made Kazuki and I feel as if we.. had feelings for each other? In the moment, I hadn't questioned it at all. So I didn't even know I was cursed.

[ there's a tinge of guilt because of course they feel bad that someone else was dragged into this curse mess. ] it wasn't until it was over that I realized those feelings weren't real.
