I do like aquariums and animals, but it still might be easier for the both of us to meet in quiet spots away from [ Booker ] crowded spaces. And I am fine, though I feel as though I should apologize for how strangely I behaved during our game. I was not of sound mind and may have said and acted in an alarming manner.
[ He glances at the chocolates, his eyes widening slightly as he studies them, momentarily distracted. ]
Did you make these yourself? They came out really elegant.
[ there are many dragonfuckers on this boat, it's ok, Friday. ]
You did nothing wrong, no need to apologize. You were very cute and, if I'm honest, I actually felt pretty happy? Was nice to be someone's whole world for a little bit, hehe.
Oh yeah, I have molds I made for them that I use! I can let you use them, if you like. Makes it easy for them to look really pretty in the end.
As did I, though I would not say the feelings I had were the healthiest. Obsession tends to be love taken to its worst extreme, but it was nice to have briefly thought of you as solely mine.
[ His wings shift in front of his face at the admission as he picks up one of the chocolates to nibble on. ]
...And these also taste good. I would not mind borrowing your mold one of these days when you are not using it.
[ his smile becomes a lot more innocent, leaning back in his seat to talk about the chocolate rather than suffocate Friday who is obviously shy as it is. Sam appreciates his efforts to be honest, though, it's refreshing and it's very endearing. ]
Ahh, are they good? Phew! I was worried. I had to get a little creative with the chocolate and was pulling a lot of the white, especially, from drinks at the Lounge.
[ blinks, as if realizing— ] ...Erm, so, please don't eat too many of those at once, in particular, in case there is any significant alcohol residue. The pink parts have cherry liqueur, too... it was the first thing I thought of for coloring.
[ he actually didn't even think to mention it, but he's glad he did now. ]
And you bet. I can also help you make your own, so you can have a ton of different shapes, too, if you enjoy it, since I don't have so many like I do at home.
[ He's not sure how to answer, trying to gauge Sam's sincerity. He can be as enigmatic as Jewel sometimes. ]
I suppose if you are serious, I can indulge you in a night. If not, then you may disregard the offer as though it did not occur.
[ He does take a bigger bite to taste the cherry liqueur. ]
I also do not think the alcohol content is anywhere significant enough to cause much inebriation, but I appreciate the warning and the offer to show me how to make them. I will take you up on it one of these days when there are no performances.
Oh, I'm serious. I'm not going to put you on the spot like that, though. I'll revisit it with you when you're a little less vulnerable to see if you're still extending the same invitation.
[ Sam taps his chin at the question, though. ] Sort of... I mean I wanted to make sure you wouldn't be ill if you didn't like them and still pretended to, so I did taste to make sure of that. So, I'm actually really happy you seem to be truly enjoying them! We should definitely spend an afternoon making sweets together soon, I think.
Most people are vulnerable after an ordeal like that, right? Plus you admitted to something and apologized...
[ Sam laughs, going to take the brownie with the chocolate piece and take a bite out of them together. ] The textures are actually very fun in combination! This brownie is really good, you've improved so much in such a short time, you know.
I was worried you would avoid me after that, especially if you were repulsed, but I am glad my worries were unfounded.
[ He puts a chocolate on a brown for himself so he can eat them together, too. ]
Has it really? I did practice a few batches with the other Arias beforehand, though I still need to follow recipes closely to achieve good results rather than having a baker's instinct yet.
Ahh, please don't ever worry about that. I can't think of much you could do that would repulse me.
And even if you did, I would never hold it against you when you aren't to blame for it. These performances are what they are and I refuse to let them damage the few relationships I've been lucky enough to snag.
As for being, yeah, that's kind of the beauty about it. You can improve really fast by telling care to mind small things. You don't need Baker's Intuition, either, although I admit it's a pretty envious skill ...
[ tilts his head a moment before shaking it. ] There's no exception to the rule there even for that. You're just as much a victim in these situations even if it often doesn't feel that way. I don't mean to make light of it, because that's no better, but you need to understand when it's really you and when it isn't. I'm a bit of a hypocrite, though, so...
It was not something I did on this ship nor in this lifetime, but I do not believe my past self was kind. I know I should not allow his actions to weigh so heavily on me, but they do.
Yeah, I have. And I can safely say mine was not kind, either. His actions bother me, too. It's probably a good thing that both of us are troubled, but ... it's not fun.
It is not, and while have the opportunity to do better in this lifetime, I still wonder what separates us from who we used to be. What if we are doomed to repeat the same actions against those we care for?
I'm going to go with— at least from what I've seen— trying to drown an entire harbor city by unsealing an evil god in order to draw out the god protecting said city. He didn't succeed, and he didn't "want" to do it, exactly, but he still went and did it because he felt that was the only way to get what he wanted.
He usually has a code of honor, but if it's between honor and failing his queen... eh...
So we both have a lot to feel regretful about in our past lives, but I do not think you are a bad person at all in this lifetime. You are one of the kindest people I have met on this voyage.
I hope we can overcome the sins of the past...though I do wonder if this trip is meant to be a form of penance.
I don't know if this makes it better or worse, but I've been told that one of the producers has insisted that the visions are not of a past life. So no, I don't think it's a form of penance. Especially since apparently the Showmaster isn't the one giving us these visions. I just don't know what the point of giving them to us is, either.
I do not trust anything any of them say any longer except for perhaps Miss Nana, and even then...The visions feel too visceral for them to simply be fabrications, and it was not until I witnessed a few of them already that my halo appeared.

Re: day 248;
[ Maybe the wings shielding his face, but he's always like that when he's embarrassed. ]
And you should savor them fully with me now.
[ He places one on top of a brownie for him. ]
It likely makes for a decadent dessert, but after recent events, we can both afford to spoil ourselves a little.

Not even if I did something truly heinous like remove a person's agency...? Would that be a step too far?
Re: day 248;
Re: day 248;
Have you peaked much into your own visions?
Re: day 248;
Yeah, I have. And I can safely say mine was not kind, either. His actions bother me, too. It's probably a good thing that both of us are troubled, but ... it's not fun.
