Melanie, then, glancing at that, seems...confused.
<...Huh?>
<What's with his gift for...August..???>

She then looks over the Violets she's picked out, trying to think...
<Wait..do I even know how to make a flower crown?>
<...Hm..>
Melanie starts trying to rack her brain for if she was ever taught how.

(Why did this give me a quote notif?)

"...So what's your job? My job is, as you've probably guessed from my name, a test subject. More specifically, I was created to see if a Monster could become a Player."

"...My job is... complicated to explain."

(Why did this give me a quote notif?)

(Didn't want to be a bother after all. Never mind it.)

 

[Green_Metaknight]

"...My job is... complicated to explain."

"Hmm..."
<Complicated to explain... Isn't my job also complicated to explain? But I managed to explain it using a simpler explanation in only a single sentence.>
<So his job is probably something that requires an excessive amount of explanation, if explained.>
<...Or he's some sort of secret agent, and he legally can't explain what his job is.>
<Either way, I don't think I should ask any more questions. A secret agent could destroy me, and someone with a job that's truly extremely complicated would likely give a very long and overly technical explanation upon further questioning.>
"...So what's your favorite color? Mine's blue."

(Well I mean... Can't argue with that guess, despite how wrong it is.)

"Mine's... also blue."
(Definitely didn't make that one up on the spot despite associating him more with purple OOC)
(I have ferrets on Xanje with colors that I associate with some of my antagonists and Malis is associated with black and purple through that system, I can show which ferret I chose for him)

(Olivia wanders around camp, totally unaware that Bright got yoinked by another person again)

(Clock sleeping at 11 real)
"Hm?" Xueqing, due to having read faces often, senses that Bright most likely is thinking over something.
She decides to wait, while just sitting on the ground, watching all the black things around (and another two people and a Pokemon nearby).

Meanwhile, in the Rooted Corruption, Xueqing doesn't realize that her heartbeat is going rapid and audible - she's too "distracted" in looking at other things while clearly having her mind on Bright's upcoming response.

*Tom finishes the flower crown, it alternates blue then purple, with sprigs of lilac layed on the side. He walks out and presents it to August*
"Tada! What do you think?" *Enthusiastic*

“Thank you!”

(He puts it on. He’s holding some of a familiar flower in his hands.)

Melanie, then, glancing at that, seems...confused.

{August doesn’t know either lol}

 

[MoultonLava]

Wonder how Bright's doing back there.

{Possessed and falling in love.}

There is an awkward moment of silence; Subject 20 does not know how to continue the conversation.

Malis similarly doesn't know what else to say.

"Check this out." *Tom traces his finger to the end of the sprigs of lilac. The tips are on purple fire, but are not being burned. The energy of the shadowflame seems calm for once. Maybe the shadowfire is only sinister if he makes it so.*

“Oh, uh, why did you make this for me.”

<I was kinda hoping that she would… no, why would she?>

Hey robot guy! Yes? Can you bring me to the Rooted Corruption with that chair? I see no issue with it. (Flying chair acquired! It will return to Hades after Olivia gets to the RC. 2 posts remaining.)

<I was kinda hoping that she would… no, why would she?>

"You did me a favor earlier, so I figured I'd return it. Besides, getting to make something this wonderful out of stuff this rare, Its something every crafter would want."

 

[Green_Metaknight]

Malis similarly doesn't know what else to say.

"...Do you have any hobbies? I don't really have any, since my work is basically my whole life."

 

[Esther]

Esther is just watching Bright and Xueqing with a faint smile.

“But you fixed my leg! That’s plenty!”

"...Do you have any hobbies? I don't really have any, since my work is basically my whole life."

"I generally don't have time for hobbies."
