Seasons: IC Contact/Continuations
This is Evangeline! Sorry, I'm a little busy right now, but leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!
Sure, talking about other stuff sounds good. Like, I guess future plans?
[Hina proudly shows off her little fangs!]
I don't think they would break, but she's broken stuff before. She really likes to bite.

Sure! Like quests and stuff?
[Rinku looks up, where the sun is setting through the trees.]
I guess... hmm. I do have some plans. Like working on more roads with the guild so we can get around easier.

Oh, yeah, that's one of those permanent quests, right? I should pay more attention to those.
That's fair! When you don't have hands or eyes, it's hard to interact with things in ways other than biting.
Yeah! I wanna set up a teleport crystal all the way out at the Des(s)ert of Illusions in the pastry oasis! ...Although that's really, really far out, so maybe just by the waterfall is gonna be more helpful. What do you think?
[Hina squeaks happily. She flutters around Evangeline and then perches on Rinku's head again.]
Yeah, a lot of things are hard for her. I'm sure she'll find other stuff she likes to do, though!

I hope so! What hobbies would be good with her physiology... does she like music?
[Hina squeaks in a vague approximation of a song. Mecchan warbles along with her -- maybe it's a game?]
She's tried to play Mecchan's toy piano sometimes! Except by bonking her face into the keys.
[Notably, she does not clarify whether it was any good... but Evangeline has already seen that and knows the answer is no.]

Which one do you think people go to more? I like the desserts, personally...
Yeah, I don't think keyboard-based instruments are the way to go here. But she could do, like, a harmonica I think?
I dunno! The desserts are great and I think anyone'd like them! But also the waterfall would make it easier to get to quests that far south, huh? Then no one has to spend a week and some on the road.
Oh, yeah! As long as she didn't get her teeth stuck. What do you think, Hina-chan?
[Hina squeaks contemplatively. What's a harmonica? She chews on Rinku's braid.]

[If she had to guess how to interpret 'squeak and chew braid'...]
I guess she's not sure either.
I guess she's not sure either.
That's what trying is for! Maybe I should take her and Mecchan to the store to try out the instruments. At least the toy ones.
Even if they don't find anything they really like, I think a trip like that would be fun! You should record them and send it to me.
I guess maybe put two out there, in that case?
Sure! What do you guys think?
[Hina squeaks excitedly. Mecchan warbles -- is she sure it won't be scary?]
Yeah, it'll be fun! Though I could bring you a cardboard box to hide under again if you get nervous about playing in front of other people.
[He contemplates this.]

[He contemplates this.]
Yeah, yeah! Like doing two quests! Oh, but I'd need to get someone to help me with the desert, it's kinda dangerous to cross it with those candy guys.
Lots of people get nervous about playing music in front of people. That's pretty normal, I think. It's okay.
[Mecchan blows a bubble. He looks at Evangeline and nods nervously, and Rinku pets him.]
Yeah! Neechan's right. And it's not a show, so you won't have a big audience!
[Mecchan relaxes and smiles. Hina, for her part, starts rocking from side to side and squeaking.]
Eh? Hina-chan, are you trying to sing? I guess that means you wanna go try out the instruments?
Yeah! Neechan's right. And it's not a show, so you won't have a big audience!
[Mecchan relaxes and smiles. Hina, for her part, starts rocking from side to side and squeaking.]
Eh? Hina-chan, are you trying to sing? I guess that means you wanna go try out the instruments?
Yeah! That sounds great! Oh, do you know any Autumns who would come? I think those guys are weak against plant attacks.
[After a bit, Mecchan finishes eating and warbles up at the sky. Rinku looks up. The last of the sunlight is going down, and the stars are out -- much brighter than in the city, and some of the colourful "stars" that move around the map are visible.]
Wow... It reminds me of Tiotio Island, or that dark sky preserve Saki-chan took me to once! It's so cool, isn't it?

It's incredible. -In the City, it's dangerous to be out at night, so you would normally never get to see the stars like this.
[And even if you did, the light pollution would make it so much less impressive.]
[And even if you did, the light pollution would make it so much less impressive.]
[Rinku nods.] I remember you told me that once. It's nice in the city, but it's amazing out in the Segments. There's so much! I think growing up someplace remote like Tiotio Island is what made Oneechan back home wanna be an astronomer.
