00:00:22♫
00:00:52♫
00:01:17Good morning.
00:01:24Welcome back, kids.
00:01:26Welcome back to the game, my game.
00:01:47Let's get started.
00:02:17Good morning.
00:02:18Hey, Zane.
00:02:19I'm going to be hopping into a chat channel in a second.
00:02:40There we go.
00:02:44You can hop in and join me if you like, Zane.
00:02:48Anyone can, really.
00:02:50Where's the...
00:03:19Hey.
00:03:23Hey.
00:03:26Ah, there we go.
00:03:33What are you doing here?
00:03:36I'm on stream.
00:03:38Ah.
00:03:40Which means you're on stream as well.
00:03:44I have been on your stream before.
00:03:46That's not...
00:03:49Is tuning in to have something to listen to while I work?
00:03:51Well, that's good.
00:03:55I'm going to be...
00:03:56I'm going to do a quick write-up on Her Tears Were My Light, and then we're going to...
00:04:01And possibly...
00:04:03I could probably just rewatch my thing of Contract Demon.
00:04:05It's not very long.
00:04:09Okay.
00:04:11So, I've now decided exactly how I'm going to do this.
00:04:17There's not a whole lot to talk about with that in theater.
00:04:20A lot of NomNomNommy's games are, like, pretty...
00:04:23They're pretty, you know, they're pretty straightforward.
00:04:26They're not, like, these super...
00:04:28They're not, like, these super complex, intricately woven plots.
00:04:33I'm pretty sure some of the longer ones are.
00:04:35But, like, with the rest, there's, like, a very simple theme, and then she just does it.
00:04:40And a lot of her games are very strictly...
00:04:47Let's just have a gay old time.
00:04:58So, I decided we're going to do a bunch of them.
00:05:05That in theater.
00:05:09Tears Were My Light.
00:05:13Contract Demon.
00:05:17Oh, right. I also recorded that other one that I have to sort.
00:05:22Hold on.
00:05:52Here we go.
00:05:59Ah! God, this eye is raw.
00:06:05I'll probably check out their other work. Oh, yeah.
00:06:08Last night, like, really early in the morning, just on a whim, or rather, at the behest of Noob Lord...
00:06:16Being, like, an entire VC just played Jak and a Castle, which is not one of NomNomNommy's games.
00:06:21It's one of Nemle's games.
00:06:23And it was surprisingly good, and actually genuinely funny.
00:06:27Why is this not on Steam anymore?
00:06:32Yeah, it's their first game.
00:06:34It's, like, a huge...
00:06:37It's, like, day and night between this and a Coven game.
00:06:42Genuinely hysterical and kind of cute.
00:06:51Anyway, we're doing NomNomNommy, so...
00:06:57There's the folder.
00:07:00Okay.
00:07:03Now I have to pick exactly which one we're going to do.
00:07:05I did Contract Demon.
00:07:07And I did Her Tears Are My Light. Her Tears Are My Light isn't in this folder.
00:07:10Neither is Bad End Theater.
00:07:12So we got...
00:07:15Let's see.
00:07:25We've got Astra's Garden, a healing game. Let's grow together.
00:07:30We've got Butler Summon the Imps, imp-matching arcade puzzle game.
00:07:36Where is that?
00:07:37Charm Studies, learn magic with Picross.
00:07:42What's this one?
00:07:45Date Treat, an April... Oh, it's an April Fool's game.
00:07:48If you want to kiss Treat, this game is for you.
00:07:51I think that's a character from her RPG Maker game.
00:07:54Oh, yeah, there it is. Lonely Wolf Treat.
00:07:57Let's see here.
00:07:58Drowning Drowning, a girl...
00:08:01These fucking things.
00:08:03The story of a young girl who dives into the sea and makes her way through the kelp forest and meets the friendly residents of an underwater city.
00:08:13First Kiss at a Spooky Soiree.
00:08:16Yes, that is the title.
00:08:21I'm intrigued.
00:08:24You play as Marzipan, a light witch who's gone her whole life without kissing anyone.
00:08:28Until tonight, there are ten endings with eight characters to kiss.
00:08:32Oh, hey, that sounds familiar.
00:08:39Let's see.
00:08:40Green Finger, grow your greens to the beat.
00:08:45I think I need your help.
00:08:47What's this about?
00:08:49A strange entity has been keeping Bella up at night, so she calls her ex, Mira, to help her figure out what's going on.
00:08:54But none of them knew what they were getting themselves into.
00:09:01Kaima, what's that?
00:09:03What's this one?
00:09:07A story of a planet being eaten away by monsters and a girl determined to survive.
00:09:11The game was made over the course of two months, so it's pretty short to run through.
00:09:14It takes an hour or so to see everything.
00:09:16Content warning, strong language, violence, cannibalism, and character death.
00:09:20Occasional screen shakes and fl-
00:09:22Well, that's... that's a swerve.
00:09:28Well, that seems familiar.
00:09:32Actually, looking at it, it looks closer to Lisa.
00:09:39That's interesting.
00:09:44Also, hi, Renee.
00:09:47Oh, hey, Renee.
00:09:48Hi.
00:09:49Oh, hi.
00:09:50Hi, Tiro.
00:09:51Uh, Tiro?
00:09:53Sorry, I pronounce it like in Spanish.
00:09:55And hi, Lily.
00:09:57Oh, be warned.
00:09:58Your username is seen.
00:10:00Well, like, your server nickname is seen on the stream overlay.
00:10:07Oh, okay.
00:10:08I'll be aware of that.
00:10:15Anyway, Kaima, that's a bit of a swerve.
00:10:20Which is actually apparently very long, so we're not doing that yet.
00:10:33Like, to do things for me?
00:10:36Are they gonna write my essay for me?
00:10:45Syrup?
00:10:46Syrup and the Ultimate Suite.
00:10:47Where is that on this list?
00:10:48Where the fuck are you?
00:10:54Where did you... where did you go?
00:10:58Oh, I know you're here somewhere.
00:10:59I know you didn't just go missing on me.
00:11:04Oh, there we go.
00:11:08A candy alchemist finds a... who finds a candy golem in her basement workshop.
00:11:14Where did she come from?
00:11:15Who the heck made her?
00:11:16Go find out.
00:11:17And, yeah, and lastly, sex advice succubus.
00:11:22I'm not kidding.
00:11:26So, which one sounds either the cutest or the dumbest?
00:11:34I think which boy sounds the cutest?
00:11:38Dumbest?
00:11:41Maybe the last one.
00:11:43Starry flowers?
00:11:48Well, I got one vote for starry flowers.
00:11:49I guess we're doing starry flowers.
00:11:54This one's apparently on the longer side, so...
00:12:04Oh, right.
00:12:35Oh, fuck.
00:12:44Start recording first, you dumb bimbo.
00:12:49Hello, and welcome to the deliciously...
00:12:51Oh, yeah, this is going to be a more active stream, because I always read out the dialogue.
00:12:58Hello, and welcome to the deliciously romantic tale of my first love.
00:13:03Just one thing before we begin.
00:13:04I congratulate you the power to choose my accessories at various points in the story.
00:13:08I'm being very gracious to offer such a thing, you know.
00:13:10If you use it, you would better make me look as adorable as possible.
00:13:13This little feature has no effect on the story otherwise.
00:13:15It's simply for your entertainment, should you wish for it.
00:13:18Would you like to enable the dress-up feature?
00:13:23Well?
00:13:28I'm intrigued, but I'm also, like, the worst fashionista ever, so...
00:13:36Well, you're not the one playing.
00:13:38You're not the one playing, just pick yes or no.
00:13:42Oh, yes, then.
00:13:46Then, without further ado, let's get ready for my first date with Pastille.
00:14:03Well, flower crown, obviously.
00:14:05Mm-hmm.
00:14:08Quick question, are we supposed to be seeing that on the Discord, or we're supposed to have, like, the tab open?
00:14:14Yeah, I can stream to you, hang on.
00:14:33Chapter one, first date.
00:14:39After having to, like, go through Korra, it's nice to just play a bunch of cozy games and do a video on that.
00:14:47Yeah.
00:15:12One second.
00:15:17I wonder if I can...
00:15:22Oh, I can!
00:15:26Hey, I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long.
00:15:29Pastille, look at you!
00:15:31And here I thought you looked plenty good in that uniform, my heart was unprepared.
00:15:36Sorry, is it too much? I can change.
00:15:39My, but I haven't even fully seen...
00:15:41Goodness!
00:15:43I haven't even fully seen what's under that cloak of yours.
00:15:46It'd be such a waste to change prematurely.
00:15:49Ah, right, forget it then.
00:15:52Besides, it'll be my pleasure to unwrap you later on, my sweet...
00:15:56Goodness!
00:15:59This boy is forward, and I respect that.
00:16:04Hmm, sure enough.
00:16:07Ah!
00:16:10Okay.
00:16:11Mom.
00:16:12Lead the way.
00:16:17Guy shows up and he's just like, are we fucking or are we fucking?
00:16:31You know, of the two visual novels I've played in the last 24 hours about boys kissing boys, this one's the less subtle.
00:16:44Yeah.
00:16:46I truly didn't expect it. He definitely seemed the type to have a more modest sense of style.
00:16:50Thigh-highs with such a short skirt! Or was it a dress, I only briefly glimpsed it.
00:16:54I'm quite looking forward to seeing more tonight.
00:16:59Sad that Jem isn't here.
00:17:02Yeah.
00:17:11One sec, I gotta wait for the fucking thing on my mic to stop swinging.
00:17:16There we go.
00:17:18The restaurant I decide on a honest one in my usual rotation, good for a quiet, comfortable evening.
00:17:24For a variety of dates, you must have a variety of locations in mind.
00:17:28Tonight's mood is romantic rendezvous.
00:17:33Wait, no, hang on, it'd be funnier if I did it like this.
00:17:36Tonight's mood is romantic rendezvous.
00:17:40It's a little high-end, though not overtly so.
00:17:43Just enough to make the night feel special.
00:17:46Hey, Mikayla.
00:17:48Hey, Mikay.
00:17:49Hi, Mikayla.
00:17:53So yeah, Mikay, of the two visual novels I've played in the last 24 hours about boys kissing boys, this one's the less subtle.
00:18:05Oh, wow.
00:18:13I love when some dude talking about unwrapping another dude is subtle.
00:18:20No, it's decidedly unsubtle.
00:18:21I like it.
00:18:22It's cute.
00:18:25Sir, I do declare.
00:18:28I keep forgetting that, like, NomNomNami also does, like, NSFW comics and, like, also did the thing called Sex Advice Succubus.
00:18:35Like...
00:18:40It just shows she has a range.
00:18:49Although with all of her games, it is either going to be very wholesome or very dirty.
00:18:58I bet in some instances it's both somehow.
00:19:17Okay.
00:19:42Oh, no, he's nervous.
00:19:44Be nice to him.
00:19:56Oh, I just use he, him.
00:19:58What about you?
00:20:12Wow, this guy's a bureaucrat.
00:20:25Ooh, more Lily voice acting.
00:20:27Well, yeah, look, here, if it was just me reading text in silence, it wouldn't be very entertaining of a stream, would it?
00:20:37I do this sort of thing often, you see.
00:20:38As such, I have a couple ground rules to establish.
00:20:41Sure, I'm actually glad you brought it up.
00:20:44Oh?
00:20:45I'm not looking for anything serious.
00:20:47In fact, I kind of prefer when it's just a one-night thing.
00:20:50Hmm, we're on the very same page then.
00:20:53Not that I mind if, you know, we end up wanting to do this again some other time.
00:20:58That's quite likely for me in this case.
00:21:00Certainly, I'm open to that as well.
00:21:03Did you have any other ground rules?
00:21:05Sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off.
00:21:07Are you nervous?
00:21:08Yes.
00:21:10I like how they just put all their cards on the table at the start.
00:21:13Like, I'm vibing with these guys.
00:21:18Oh, they are so cute.
00:21:21Reminds me of when me and McKay started dating.
00:21:29I've never heard you put your cards on the table first thing.
00:21:34Well, I was fresh off an abusive relationship, so I was like, hey, I'm not doing this shit again.
00:21:42Absolutely.
00:21:44Periwinkle.
00:21:45Oh, so this is what happened to Poof after Fairly OddParents.
00:21:52Poof's early 20s.
00:21:55So true.
00:21:56You can tell me to stop if you're ever feeling too overwhelmed.
00:21:58That's the other rule.
00:22:00I like feeling overwhelmed to an extent.
00:22:06I had assumed as much, but to hear you admit it outright.
00:22:09Ah, Pastille.
00:22:11In that case, I'll do my best to overwhelm you, my sweet.
00:22:17This shit's adorable.
00:22:27Yes, this was shaping up to be a wonderful night indeed.
00:22:33The waiter came to take our order.
00:22:35I went first to give my sweet date a chance to compose himself.
00:22:38With our food ordered, Pastille finally drops his mantle to reveal...
00:22:42My, my, so it was a cute little dress after all.
00:22:46Oh, and here I thought you were saving the surprise for after dinner.
00:22:50Sorry, I started feeling awkward with the extra layer.
00:22:54Don't apologize. My only lament is not getting to take it off you myself.
00:23:00You'll save the last few layers for me, won't you?
00:23:06That's all that matters then.
00:23:10I'm having the time of my life, and by the looks of it, so is Pastille.
00:23:14Ah, I live to tease cute witch boys.
00:23:17How fortunate I came across the sweetest one today.
00:23:21Gosh, they are so sweet.
00:23:23Yeah, like, they're gonna kiss or fuck or both. Both is good.
00:23:28Our food arrives before Pastille is able to recover.
00:23:31He can't even look the waiter in the eye. How adorable.
00:23:34No, I mustn't overindulge before we've even eaten our meal.
00:23:37There'll be plenty of time after dessert.
00:23:41Pastille takes a few bites of his food before picking up.
00:23:44So, so, Periwinkle, what do you do for a living?
00:23:48Boy's gonna be able to cook an egg on his face by the end of this.
00:23:52Poor guy.
00:23:55Besides tease you until you're barely able to speak?
00:23:58Yes, besides that.
00:23:59My line of work, then. Hmm. I suppose I can tell you.
00:24:03I'm an arrow magician. I specialize in creating pleasant scents.
00:24:11Shifts around the pair.
00:24:13The candle's original aroma is quickly forgotten as replaced by something new and cozier.
00:24:17Oh, that is nice. What smell is that?
00:24:20I'm no good at pinpointing stuff like this.
00:24:22Where were you when Witch Tinder became a thing?
00:24:32Vanilla. I thought it suited you.
00:24:34Although, I'm starting to think a more lustful scent might have been a better fit.
00:24:37Yeah, I don't think I can include this one because, like, YouTube will absolutely crack me across the jaw.
00:24:44What does that even mean?
00:24:47Just that you've done nothing but exceed my expectations.
00:24:50I'll probably keep it for B-roll.
00:24:53I'm not doing anything.
00:24:55I just glass of water, overwhelmed by embarrassment once again.
00:24:59I did say I'd go a little easier on him, didn't I?
00:25:02Ah, he's just too irresistible.
00:25:07Anywho, I bottle and sell scents like this one.
00:25:10It's fairly lucrative work once you build a reputation for yourself.
00:25:15Ah, sounds fulfilling.
00:25:17What about you, Pastille? What kind of magic do you specialize in?
00:25:21Oh, I've mostly been living without magic until recently.
00:25:26Without magic? I can't imagine.
00:25:29It's not so bad. I mean, humans do it, so why not?
00:25:34I suppose that's true.
00:25:37I very directly make a living off of mine, so I'd find myself in quite a bind if I wasn't able to use it.
00:25:43Not that I mind being bound from time to time, you know.
00:25:47How do you keep doing that?
00:25:49Every time I think we're talking about something innocent.
00:25:52I just can't help myself, can I?
00:25:54Deliberate word choice, my sweet. Would you like me to hold back a little more?
00:25:59No, no, it's okay. I was just kind of impressed.
00:26:04We finish up our meals and decide on sharing a slice of strawberry cheesecake for dessert.
00:26:09Pastille deliberately leaves the larger bits of strawberries for me.
00:26:12I wonder, is it because he doesn't like them, or is he just that kind?
00:26:16Either way, this has quickly become my most favorite date of the past few months.
00:26:23This is clearly, like, the demiromantic in me showing, but, like,
00:26:27the concept of going on a date with someone you don't even know is, like, alien.
00:26:31It's just an alien concept to me.
00:26:35Yeah.
00:26:36Same.
00:26:38Yeah, I'm not familiar with blind dates or hookup culture.
00:26:52Well, I mean, like, even just, like, seeing someone attractive and going,
00:26:56hey, you want to go out? Like, for me, it's, like,
00:26:59it's my pool of friends, and that's literally it.
00:27:22Oh, yeah, it's like...
00:27:25Yeah.
00:27:31When's that, Momo?
00:27:51Oh, boy.
00:27:56I get to hear sketchy, crack-as-usual jokes.
00:28:01And it feels so uncomfortable for me.
00:28:02Yep.
00:28:07Yeah, like, if I'm, like, this bit right here,
00:28:11tell me more about yourself, Pastille.
00:28:13Like, the concept of being on a date and having to ask this question
00:28:17is so fucking alien to me.
00:28:26Plus, if this were, like, if this were me in this instance,
00:28:29like, I'd have to, like, think of, like, something different for small talk,
00:28:32because usually my go-to for small talk is talking about Lily.
00:28:37I'm polyamorous, so it's fine.
00:28:40But, like, even if you're polyamorous, I mean, like,
00:28:43first date conversations shouldn't just be you talking about how cool your wife is.
00:28:52Lobby behavior.
00:28:53By the way, she's very cool.
00:29:00Yep.
00:29:08On first dates, I just try to break the ice with jokes, I don't think.
00:29:13But, yeah, I agree with the friend thing.
00:29:16I don't think I could date.
00:29:17I don't think I could go on a date with a total stranger.
00:29:24I like this music, it's very cozy.
00:29:27Hold on a second.
00:29:29I like this music, it's very cozy.
00:29:32Hold on a second.
00:29:58Hold on a second.
00:30:02Oh, uh...
00:30:04I almost forgot.
00:30:06Frumbo said hi.
00:30:12Who?
00:30:14Frumbo, Bao.
00:30:16He's currently sleeping.
00:30:19Ah.
00:30:28Oh.
00:30:29Oh.
00:30:30Oh.
00:30:31Oh.
00:30:32Oh.
00:30:33Oh.
00:30:34Oh.
00:30:35Oh.
00:30:36Oh.
00:30:37Oh.
00:30:38Oh.
00:30:39Oh.
00:30:40Oh.
00:30:41Oh.
00:30:42Oh.
00:30:43Oh.
00:30:44Oh.
00:30:45Oh.
00:30:46Oh.

00:31:22Oh.
00:31:23Oh.
00:31:24Oh.
00:31:25Oh.
00:31:26Luckily
00:31:29The only date I've been on was the only date I've been on was traumatic
00:31:35Like trust like I can do long-distance relationships
00:31:38It's like I'm very bad at expressing affection verbally without like either coming off as a weirdo or just like
00:31:46Coming off as extremely awkward
00:31:49Crazy crazy concept I write for a living I speak for a living and yet talking to my friends
00:31:55I'm just like
00:31:57What are words?
00:32:01Relatable
00:32:11Like I'll try and write something romantic and I can't to McKay and then I just I can't the words just don't come out
00:32:17And then I'll just randomly say something off-the-cuff, and I'll just hear Michaela go
00:32:21Oh, and I'm just like how what did I say? What part of that? I need to write that down
00:32:30That was good, what did I say?
00:32:42I cherish you
00:32:44Relationship in middle school. It was great
00:32:46Just that it was uh was the first feelings kind of thing so it only lasted half a half a year
00:32:51Wasted oh cute
00:33:02All right anyway back to it tell me more about yourself pastille
00:33:05I'm afraid the only thing I know is that you work at the renowned atelier sweets. Oh
00:33:11There's not much else to know surely there's plenty more than just that any hobbies perhaps
00:33:18Good
00:33:19Cleaning maybe any non work-related hobbies dear
00:33:24Sorry, I never know how to answer these types of questions my best friend is an alchemist
00:33:29So I've recently been going on little adventures to help gather ingredients for her craft now. There's something interesting
00:33:35Other than that I honestly don't get out much. I have my hands full running the store
00:33:40So diligent does that mean this is your first night out in a while uh yeah?
00:33:45I guess it is I'm honored you're willing to share it with me then
00:33:50Yeah, I don't think I ever would have tried this place if you hadn't brought me in
00:33:54So it's been worth it so far. Thanks periwinkle
00:33:58The table had long been cleared and yet our conversation continued through the night this place is never too busy
00:34:03Which always leaves me free to linger here without the guilt of taking up any much-needed table space
00:34:08The longer the date the more satisfying the finale and that's something I live by
00:34:13I
00:34:14Think straight to the climax inevitably gets a bit dull after a while. I want to enjoy this night to its fullest
00:34:20Hmm pastille. Do you see the witch at the day at that table over there? Hmm?
00:34:25Don't be too obvious now the one with the tall hat you see ah
00:34:30Yeah, I I see them. I brought them here about two weeks ago, and I guess they agreed that it made a nice date spot I
00:34:38Yeah, actually the guy sitting across from them. I'm pretty sure I've been with him before
00:34:44No, surely you're joking pastille
00:34:48Don't say my name so loudly just keep your head low. I'm sure you won't notice. Oh, he oh, he's just looked this way
00:34:56Yeah
00:34:57only kidding
00:34:58Perry oh a nickname already. We're moving so fast
00:35:03You're the one the one has been calling me my sweet all night
00:35:08you
00:35:12Well well you are aren't you whose fault is it that you share a name with candy not mine?
00:35:20Still do you think those two make a good couple how should I know oh?
00:35:25Just imagine the kind of person. I'd go on
00:35:27I'll just imagine the kind of person I'd go on a date with and pair them with the other
00:35:31And what kind of person is that you for one?
00:35:35Maybe they wouldn't be so maybe they wouldn't be so good together
00:35:38My am I supposed to take offense to that?
00:35:42Nah, that guy was just kind of pushy
00:35:45You're too much pastille
00:35:50Perry the platform
00:35:53Perry the plan away
00:35:59Perry the platypus II know
00:36:05You
00:36:16Still do you think those two make a good couple?
00:36:19Should I know oh?
00:36:20Just imagine the kind of person. I'd go on
00:36:22I'll just imagine the kind of person I'd go on a date with and pair them with the other
00:36:27And what kind of person is that you for one?
00:36:31Maybe they wouldn't be so maybe they wouldn't be so good together
00:36:34My am I supposed to take offense to that?
00:36:37Nah, that guy was just kind of pushy
00:36:41You're too much pastille
00:36:46Perry the platform
00:36:49Perry the plan away
00:36:55Perry the platypus II know
00:37:05We eventually made our way out of the restaurant that night he'd gotten quite late already
00:37:08When's the last time I stayed until closing there was never a moment of awkward silence between us only pastille's embarrassed pauses
00:37:15Clear attempts to steer his mind away from debauchery. I love that word debauchery
00:37:22That's such a good award
00:37:24As
00:37:32We wander back into the night air, he's the first to speak up again
00:37:36You could have at least let me cover the tip
00:37:38Nonsense, I'm the one who asked you out tonight. You don't have to cover a thing
00:37:43In fact, I'd prefer if you didn't cover
00:37:47Okay, I saw that one coming this time. You don't have to say it
00:37:51too easy
00:37:54But really it's a shame to hide such a cute outfit from the world I
00:37:59Have the confidence
00:38:01Reminds me my youth you get there my sweet one day you'll be one day
00:38:06You'll be able to toss aside any feelings of inadequacy and wear all sorts of daring outfits with pride
00:38:12No, it's not a matter of self-esteem or anything. It's it's just if anyone saw me in this I would die
00:38:17So
00:38:19That's how it is. Hmm. I'm being treated to a more intimate side of this which boy right now
00:38:24Walk together until the street under the streetlights until we reach our original beating places. Would you like me to escort you home?
00:38:31No, that's okay. Then if you don't mind my place is just down the street. Perhaps you'd like to accompany me
00:38:39Yes, I mean I wouldn't want you to have to walk alone in the dark
00:38:43such a gentleman
00:38:47Up and under pastels mantle linking arms as they go along well silence toward Perry Winkle's house
00:38:56Well, this is me I had a most lovely evening thank you for accompanying me to dinner tonight I
00:39:02Fun too. Thanks for inviting me out
00:39:04fidgets if something to ask but can't find the words
00:39:07pastille
00:39:10Yes
00:39:12Oh
00:39:18He's in more of a rest than I thought and again I did spend all night winding him up Oh
00:39:26Pastille I just remembered since we're here. Would you like to come in and sample some of my magic? I'd like that. Yes
00:39:33Very well, then
00:39:36Oh
00:39:41What I
00:39:43Would this I do have to return to the mines, unfortunately. All right. I'll probably be here when you get off work
00:39:51Okay, love you, love you
00:39:56Have a good day
00:40:00We both knew from the beginning that he would be staying the night of course
00:40:04It's just so much more fun drawing it out like this
00:40:07But ah, but if that kiss is any indication of things to come I may have gone a little overboard
00:40:12If so, we're in for quite a sleepover
00:40:15Sorry about the mess. I just haven't found the time to tidy up
00:40:21Turns back to face him
00:40:29He's completely run out of patience hasn't he
00:40:32And I'm afraid I simply have no choice but to indulge him don't don't act put-upon
00:40:40You smug bastard
00:40:49Hmm I shouldn't keep you waiting a second longer now, should I ah
00:40:54But I still need to change into something a little easier to take off
00:40:57Looking this good comes at a price. You see I promise I won't keep you waiting
00:41:02Okay
00:41:11Chapter two
00:41:16I am running dangerously close into like into like twitch clapping me in the jaw
00:41:22I
00:41:27Couldn't stop thinking about how absolutely adorable
00:41:30Pastille was he scrambled out of here almost as soon as he woke up saying he couldn't be late for work
00:41:35Such a shame would have been nice to get one last round in I did get a kiss. Goodbye though. Oh
00:41:40Okay
00:41:44Ah, it's nice to feel like a housewife for a moment, but I should get to work too. I have an order to fill don't I?
00:41:53Gets ready for the day
00:41:56The ordering question is for a nearby apothecary. Did you know arrow magic like mine is actually quite good for you?
00:42:02Oh, they fucked. All right. Oh, yeah, they fucked
00:42:06It's got nothing but an actual healing magic, but the calming atmosphere it creates does wonders for one's mood
00:42:12This particular patch is meant to help with insomnia, which is ironic considering how late I stayed up with pastille
00:42:17Whoops can't be getting distracted now. I really need to finish up these last few bottles
00:42:33Perfect ah, it's so much easier to finish these with a clear mind. I'm sorry. I
00:42:42Can't help it if a refreshing night out is the only way to regain my focus
00:42:46Although I probably could have gotten one of the one of these done last night if pastille hadn't been so impatient
00:42:52No, no, I must let my mind wander too far from work now
00:42:57Yeah, now my house is going to smell like lavender I better head out before I'm lulled to sleep by my own magic
00:43:12Okay, we're definitely putting you in devil horns
00:43:17Oh
00:43:20Actually, let's go for irony
00:43:24Yep
00:43:27Apothecary is only a short walk away, but I've never managed to walk in its doors on doors on time
00:43:32Perhaps because it's so close. I always underestimate the time it takes to reach it
00:43:36I can hear the owner tapping her foot with impatience as soon as I open the door. Oh
00:43:41It's this lady. Oh
00:43:43Hi, this is from one of her other games
00:43:47Astra gallia astragalus. I have that special order ready for you. You're late again, but you're late again periwinkle
00:43:54Lost track of time. You'll forgive me. Won't you you are literally my only provider who has no respect for report for appointments
00:44:01That's simply not true. I never miss a date. There's the problem. You were out getting late again, weren't you?
00:44:07How vulgar I had a romantic evening with a very cute boy who then ended up sleeping over
00:44:13Well, you had all week to fill the order. Try getting it done in advance next time. Yes, ma'am
00:44:18Now, let's see what you got
00:44:23I've worked with s astragal astragalus for a few years now. I'm gonna really get tongue-tied on these things
00:44:31She's completely immune to my charms shocking to say the least
00:44:35But it's meh, but it's meant we've been able to remain good friends all this time or
00:44:40Let's see
00:44:42Astragalus, would you consider us to be good friends? I put up with you
00:44:46My but you don't put up with anyone. You must have really liked me
00:44:50You've got a favor to ask you something. Is that what you're getting it?
00:44:53No, I was just thinking of how to categorize our relationship business associate works just fine, doesn't it?
00:45:00Come now surely you consider us to be closer than that. I
00:45:04Know better than to get involved with you periwinkle. Why whatever do you mean? You're too dazzling. I
00:45:10Take that as a compliment
00:45:12Great. Now, will you stop distracting me? I'm trying to count
00:45:16Yes, we're definitely good friends too dazzling though. I'm sure there is I'm not sure there is such a thing
00:45:22And what would it be wrong with it? If there was what point is there and not shining as brightly as one can
00:45:27Astragalus finishes counting the bottles sighing and feigned exasperation as she marks them off her checklist
00:45:33You may always be late, but you deliver quality every time you're consistent if nothing else
00:45:43There we go
00:45:44The waiting is part of the fun builds excitement. Wouldn't you say? Nope just builds frustration for me, but at least you always come through
00:45:53Shore behind the counter and takes out an envelope with periwinkles name scribbled on it. Here's the rest of your payment
00:45:58Don't spend it all in one place
00:46:03Oh
00:46:11I couldn't if I tried really you're too generous
00:46:19Two or three orders a month, that's all it takes to support myself entirely through this apothecary
00:46:24Hard to believe my magic is really worth so much but who am I to complain?
00:46:27It's certainly a more favorable balance compared to the kind of work
00:46:30I was doing years ago, and I do enjoy the freedom the excessive amounts of time. I have for partying for dates
00:46:36On that note with all that business out of the way, would you like to hear about my date?
00:46:41Would I like to not necessarily?
00:46:45Please Astragalus as someone with no romance in your own life. The least you could do is live vicariously through me
00:46:53The no romance thing is my choice. I listen to you gush for your own sake for my sake
00:47:00Oh
00:47:03Yeah, yeah, I'm afraid you might actually implode if you had no one to talk to about this stuff
00:47:07I'm actually making a noble sacrifice every day that you come in here with new tales of romantic conquest
00:47:13If you're truly suffering I shall desist
00:47:16That's the thing though. I do like seeing you all worked up over something even if I don't understand it myself
00:47:20Ah, so there is a mutual benefit. You'll listen then
00:47:25Yeah, at least I get all this put away at least until I get all this put away after that I'm kicking you out for the
00:47:31day
00:47:33Fair enough. I better be brief then. He's the absolute cutest thing. I picked him up at a candy shop yesterday
00:47:40Okay, I can't pin down this guy's voice. I keep shifting it
00:47:46Fluffy pink hair with golden eyes naturally rosy cheeks that make him look as if he's always a little embarrassed by something
00:47:53He's shy, but not the type that becomes paralyzed in the bedroom periwinkle for the last time you do not need to hear about bedroom stuff
00:48:00I wasn't giving you any details
00:48:03Although the details are the best part
00:48:08This is a safe for work zone only break that rule and you're out of here my apologies I'll refrain
00:48:15Anyway, my point is he's extremely cute adorable. In fact, right so standard fare for you
00:48:23Absolutely not. He was just your average cutie. I wouldn't be emphasizing his cuteness so much. I
00:48:30Don't meet these people so it's all the same to me
00:48:34How can it be the intensity is so drastically different perhaps so intense I'm having trouble explaining it properly
00:48:40I'll say all you've really told me so far is that he's cute and shy
00:48:46He's kind as well he saved the best part of our dessert for me without even asking Wow
00:48:50I would have led led with that one. Oh enough of your sarcasm when all my favorite details are off-limits
00:48:56What do I what do you suppose I'm left with?
00:48:58Well, what really matters is you had a good night, even if it meant you couldn't get here on time like I asked
00:49:03Huh? I'm already hoping to see him again to be honest. Oh
00:49:07Yeah, don't hear that from you very often really but I've gone on second dates all the time this guy got a name
00:49:14Hmm, I don't kiss and tell
00:49:16No, actually you tell me every about it. No, actually you tell me about everyone you kiss Khan if he's really the absolute cutest
00:49:23It's a shame to keep him anonymous, right? I like I'm gonna tell anyone anyway
00:49:27Fine, his name is pastel
00:49:29Hmm, even his name is cute
00:49:31Right. Oh that reminds me. He sold me some candies to share his name. Would you like to try sure?
00:49:37How could a witch turn down free candy?
00:49:39Who pulls out one of the one of the past deals?
00:49:42Oh
00:49:45These are good, where'd you say this candy shop was not far from here. I'll give you directions. I
00:49:54Love the little turnip hanging off her head unceremoniously kicked me out
00:49:59She'd long finished putting all those bottles away after all with money in my pocket and no more work to be done for the moment
00:50:04I'm free to begin pursuing my days
00:50:07Wherever shall I go? It's a weekday too early for parties too early for drinks
00:50:12I
00:50:13Suppose I could return home and straighten up the place
00:50:16However, why would I busy myself with chores when I could be celebrating another order successfully filled?
00:50:24Perry Winkle. Oh, hey, it's from the other one. Oh
00:50:29Cassia lovely to see you
00:50:32Hey, I'm so glad we ran into each other how to describe Cassia. She's exceedingly cuddly
00:50:38We met at a party one night during which she latched onto my arm and never let go quite endearing
00:50:43Since then we've gone on little dates from time to time. She really loves my magic
00:50:46So I tend to spoil her whenever we're together whenever we're together. Oh he by
00:50:51Did you did you need something dear? Ah
00:50:54Yes, I tried coming over last night, but you didn't seem to be home. Oh, you came to visit me. I'm flattered. I
00:51:01Must have been out to dinner at the time. Sorry that I missed you. Oh, it's okay
00:51:05I was mostly looking to talk. So, um, if you're available right now, do you want to go to a cafe?
00:51:10That sounds perfect. I would love to
00:51:36You
00:51:51It's a pleasant sunny little place I've come here often with all sorts of other witches
00:51:55Cassie orders her usual hot chocolate with extra marshmallows while I decide on a simple rose tea. Ooh
00:52:01Perry Winkle, could you make my marshmallows smell like roses too with pleasure?
00:52:06Gotta go read my sister a bedtime story. I forgot. Oh
00:52:19Hey smells just like roses just as you asked here it may slightly affect the taste
00:52:25So let me know if you'd like the spell undone
00:52:29No, that's wonderful
00:52:31You truly can I can find joy in any little moment such a delight
00:52:36You
00:52:38Definitely a contender for the title of absolute cutest which though I would call her as though I would call her
00:52:46Absolutely cute rather than the absolute cutest it takes more than cuteness alone to earn the title of absolute cutest
00:52:52Which that's where the difference lies, of course
00:52:54What am I thinking how rude it is to be ranking my dates in such a way?
00:52:57I must be stuck on the thought of her for my earlier conversation with astragalus trying to put past deals cuteness into words
00:53:04It really is something special that's all in the contrast is polite well-mannered and proper exterior concealing such intense desire
00:53:12Begging you to make the first move and then going ahead and taking it on his own as soon
00:53:16Oh as soon as you know that there's someone else in front of me now, isn't there?
00:53:24This game is so cute. I'm gonna die. Oh, yes fucking adorable. Yes
00:53:33This is right up like it was a bit in bad in theater where like if you base if you if the maiden leaves the
00:53:39Overlord's castle and returns to the village and it turns out that like and you have the hero with you
00:53:47Like the villagers start getting like antsy and talk and talk about like hero you should go and talk to the overlord
00:53:53we'll keep the maiden here for
00:53:56protection and
00:53:57Then the maiden just goes well if you're going to be captured by anyone
00:54:02It's going to be the overlord. Not your fellow countrymen
00:54:16Ah, I missed you periwinkle, I've been so busy with packing
00:54:19I haven't had a chance to see you at all packing and just where are you headed off to? Oh, that's right
00:54:24I never had a chance to tell you I'm finally moving in with my partners in two more days
00:54:27The three of us will all be sleeping in the same bed. Oh
00:54:30That sounds cozy
00:54:32Congratulations. Yeah. Thank you. I've been looking forward to it for so long
00:54:36It sounds like you're about to enter a lovely domestic life. You deserve it
00:54:40I got periwinkle just has a lot of good friends and he has absolutely fucked all of them. Oh
00:54:49Man oh
00:54:51I'm really happy. But I'm speaking of my partners. You've still never even met them true
00:54:56But I can't but I can imagine they're wonderful just from how you've talked about them
00:55:00Right, but um, what if you didn't have to imagine that's what I wanted to talk to you about
00:55:04I was hoping we might all be able to go on a group date sometime. Oh
00:55:09Yeah, because like I just think you're so wonderful Perry. I want them to know I want them to know you too me
00:55:16Although it sounds like fun. I'm a bit. Well, wait before you say no, they're both very easygoing and so lovely and nice
00:55:22I can promise it won't be overwhelming that
00:55:25Unfortunately isn't where the issue lies my dear I
00:55:28Know you said you didn't want to get involved before but I just know that we would all get along so well
00:55:32I'd like to reassure you over I can but I understand if you still turn me down
00:55:37Matters of love are so tricky aren't they? I still recall the first time something like this was asked of me
00:55:41I've been nervous going in but I'd also never entered a group situation before I attribute my anxiety solely to that
00:55:47Quickly became clear that I just wasn't suited to it at all
00:55:50I do love to spoil each of my partners, but strictly one at a time
00:55:55Perhaps I was left scarred by the breakdown in communication the passionate fires of a long-established romance
00:56:01Surely Cassie and her partners are magnificent people
00:56:03It may indeed be fun for a night, but becoming entangled in committed relationships is something I've always avoided from the beginning
00:56:09That's all very sweet of you, but I do have to decline. Oh, I can't help but feel a little brokenhearted. I
00:56:15Apologize truly. It's nothing personal. Oh, I know I don't take offense or anything
00:56:21It's sad now that I'm going to be living with them and knowing you don't want to meet them
00:56:25I think it's best. We just break things off. Yes. I agree as you said, it's for the best
00:56:30I hope we can still be friends though. Of course. I'm sure our paths will cross every now and then
00:56:36Yeah, thank you for always treating me. So well periwinkle. Mm-hmm. It was my pleasure
00:56:43Even casual relationships can end in breakups like this. This is largely why I tend to prefer one night affairs
00:56:48Things are going. I'm so messy as needs involved needs evolved as Cassie and I go our separate ways
00:56:53I can't help feeling a little blue. Perhaps. I'll return home for the day after all. Oh
00:57:01That's so sad that's not sad
00:57:04You know, I don't think we appreciate amicable breakups in fiction enough
00:57:11Yeah, I should start to think about this because of like if you wrote if you romance Garrison Mass Effect 3 and then break it
00:57:17Off in in Mass Effect 2 and then break it off in Mass Effect 3
00:57:21It's actually it's like litter of probably the sweetest moment that Garrison Shepherd have
00:57:39I could use an afternoon nap. Yes, that's precisely what I need
00:57:42I'll wake up feeling refreshed and ready to go back out on the town
00:57:48Ah, yeah, I'd probably notice the candies from before
00:57:53Was I too hasty in saying I'd hope to see Pastille again, I suppose I'd forgotten the feeling of not being enough for someone
00:58:00Usually these things tend to dissipate naturally without confrontation or notice. So when they don't it stings
00:58:12It is sweet though
00:58:14What a shame that would be if I never got to taste it again
00:58:18That's right. I could never resist the promise of an entertaining night. No matter what may come down the line. I
00:58:24Am a I'm a hopeless hedonist after all nothing to be done about that
00:58:29Let fate decide then if he comes he comes and if we never meet again
00:58:33Yeah, I can always hold on to the memory of our perfect date
00:58:35I
00:58:45Wasn't expecting to see you again so soon and treating me to another cute new look no less
00:58:51Sorry, I am I couldn't stop thinking about I I mean I realized last night
00:58:56I never actually got to sample your magic the sense you mentioned. Oh, that's right. We were quite preoccupied. Hmm
00:59:03Yes, so that's why I'm here
00:59:11You know, there's something funny about somebody who is
00:59:15Unrelentingly horny, but also really fucking embarrassed about it the entire time
00:59:22He comedy he comedy
00:59:34Um
00:59:37Were you in bed? Sorry, I should have come so late. Hmm. These aren't even my sexiest pajamas. I
00:59:43Didn't say anything about that
00:59:46But to answer your question, no, I wasn't although I did take a nap earlier this afternoon
00:59:50I otherwise been enjoying a relaxing night in and I'm so very glad I didn't end up going out
00:59:56I would have missed out on this flustered mess
01:00:00Would you like to come in
01:00:02That's vigorously in response I
01:00:07Love him he's great
01:00:12It's like I am absolutely a bear embarrassed and having an anxiety attack. Oh, do you want to stop fuck? No
01:00:26Anxiety does more where that came from
01:00:32I
01:00:43I'm still a bit of a mess in here. It's still a bit of a mess in here. I hope you don't mind
01:00:47there's a path there's a path through I've seen worse a path a path a
01:00:55Path through the mess you've seen worse
01:01:02Oh
01:01:08Maybe I'll let it spiral further into chaos. Then I'm just so competitive, you know, I'm not sure that's a competition. You'd really want to win
01:01:16perhaps not
01:01:19Carefully steps over some of the clutter digging through one of the boxes of our corner of the room
01:01:23Ah, here they are my personal favorites this row here contains some of the more potent scents most of them for relaxation
01:01:30Things to calm the nerves the rest. I just happen to like sweet scents like strawberry banana bubblegum mango
01:01:37Is there a reason you're only naming candy flavors?
01:01:40Hmm must be a coincidence
01:01:44What's this ah watch out that one's an aphrodisiac
01:01:48Hmm. We'll see about that
01:01:50size of periwinkle as he opens the vial without hesitation
01:01:53Oh
01:01:58He's going for it. Oh
01:02:03It's peach I almost expected it to be overpowering yes
01:02:07Well, the aphrodisiac bit was alive, but I'm glad you like it. You're really good at this type of magic
01:02:11I've never done anything like it. Would you like to try it on?
01:02:15Hmm. Oh, no, I don't do perfume or cologne or anything like that. Oh
01:02:20Oh wait, hang on. Oh, no, I don't do perfume or cologne or anything like that
01:02:26You've never tried it. Oh, so would you say you're a perfume virgin then?
01:02:32I'm not who I'm not who even says things like that
01:02:36In my line of work, you'd be surprised
01:02:39It's probably just you hmm. Maybe so if you're not going to try it. I'll have it back now, please I could try
01:02:46I just don't know how I'm supposed to apply it
01:02:49May I?
01:02:57Yeah likely rubs a spot on past deals neck engulfing them both the pleasant scent of his magic
01:03:06Hmm maybe the aphrodisiac bit wasn't a lie after all
01:03:10Oh
01:03:14Sorry, sorry, I just he certainly is impulsive not that I mind at all
01:03:20I'm more than happy to go along with your little game past deal. Oh
01:03:24No, my own magic. Oh, no, my own magic is working too. Well, I guess there's no choice, but to have my way with you
01:03:31my sweet oh
01:03:32No, oh
01:03:36No
01:03:38There
01:03:47Fucking adorable if this doesn't end with wedding bells, I'm going to be very pissed
01:03:53Over the next month or so we fell into quite an enjoyable pattern past deal would show up at my doorstep
01:03:58Maybe once or twice a week. Sometimes we go out to dinner, but mostly he'd just spend the night
01:04:02I was starting to become almost routine though
01:04:05Each visit was somehow just as exciting as the last the details of which I'll choose to keep private per past deal sake that boy
01:04:12Is insatiable I will say that
01:04:16Inevitably after seeing someone for so long enough one begins to pick up on their habits
01:04:21Cute habits like the way he kisses me on the cheek before rushing off to work early in the morning
01:04:25The way he runs his hand through his hair when he's thinking really hard about something
01:04:29Even his knock is specific once lightly to test the waters
01:04:32Once lightly to test the waters a pause as he gathers that gathers his courage and then three firm and evenly spaced
01:04:44I'm not sure which of these habits he's conscious of but there's one I've decided
01:04:48He must be acting knowingly which is his habit of leaving one of his personal effects behind with each visit
01:04:54First a barrette then an earring his choker a bracelet
01:04:58Then he returns after a few days with an apology explaining he had just come to pick up whatever he'd left behind
01:05:03Sure past deal keep creating your little excuses to come back here. I'll happily go along with them. Hmm. What fun?
01:05:08I wonder what he'll come looking for this time
01:05:12Discarded garbage that was strewn across his bedroom tossing him into a pile to be dealt with later
01:05:20Failed to describe me her to cry to me how cute this game is
01:05:24Oh, hey, Jim
01:05:31He couldn't possibly leave his underwear behind could he know that would be impossible to explain an earring sure
01:05:36But there's no way he'd walk out of here like that
01:05:39Makes the bed double check you between the sheets while he's at it. I'm almost disappointed
01:05:44It's been so consistent up until now. I suppose. I suppose he could just be that forgetful
01:05:54You
01:06:14Points a past deal boy kisser
01:06:24You
01:06:35It's simply that many things don't make it back to their proper place
01:06:37Oh rather I could never decide on a proper place for many of my things. Ah
01:06:41same
01:06:53You
01:06:59Toss them into boxes shuffle the boxes around the room and suddenly they become unmanageable piles
01:07:04Truly put everything away truly to truly put everything away
01:07:07These would all have to be emptied and sorted a daunting task to be sure
01:07:11But it has been a while since my last attempt. I may as well get some effort
01:07:15But a way to begin I suppose my work supplies have been a little difficult to navigate as of late
01:07:21That's an achievable goal now, isn't it and practical as well
01:07:24Perry Winkle begins with the box of his favorite perfumes that have been sitting out since one of past deals first visits
01:07:29Ah, yes, the aphrodisiac. Hmm. That was a fun night
01:07:35This should go hmm, perhaps it'd be better to set it high on the bookshelf
01:07:40If I just rearrange things a bit that should be room for everything. I
01:07:43I
01:07:48Don't know which one of you is that we're here like yesterday, but the voice I did for bunny in the
01:07:53jacket a castle was like I
01:07:58Got into doing that one
01:08:02That one was fun
01:08:06The country bunny
01:08:11But
01:08:14The
01:08:16Bandana it's cake
01:08:19It was a very great voice I can attest to that. Thank you
01:08:24He places the boxes
01:08:29Huh topple all you want I was prepared hmm
01:08:34Jacket which is expertly blended into the blankets and cushions around it expertly blended
01:08:39I
01:08:42Think on blue
01:08:46Sad that I missed the bunny
01:08:54Ah, just when I'd finally worked up the energy to clean up around here, what do I find?
01:08:58Yes, this is no more. This is no mere case of casual forgetfulness. It was indeed a little game after all
01:09:03It
01:09:06Was like a much more exaggerated version of what I was doing what I'm doing here
01:09:10There's a stream yesterday damn cuz I oh no not yesterday. I was in a I was in a discord VC doing this
01:09:17Yeah
01:09:23You've escalated it too far past deal to leave your jacket behind is just ridiculous he leaves me no choice
01:09:29I'll have to return this myself
01:09:33I
01:10:04I
01:10:17Now we wait
01:10:27Ah our eyes meet
01:10:34A bunch of this fucking narration we got the dialogue is the fun part
01:10:43Just come over here you silly boy
01:10:50Visual novels need to like need to operate by Baldur's Gate rules. I swear
01:10:57Hmm I thought you were ignoring me. No. I was just trying to decide what to do
01:11:01Was this a bad time to return your jacket not the worst time hmm I
01:11:11Found it whilst I was cleaning up the place. I suppose I could have waited for you to return, but since I was in the area
01:11:17Right, sorry. It's my fault for leaving a pie in the first place
01:11:24A steal could barely look me in the eye doesn't stop him from stealing glances
01:11:28What I'm wearing, but who could resist that I wore my cutest dress for this
01:11:33Something seems a little off though. He's usually a bundle of nerves, but this was but yes, but this is a bit much
01:11:39I'll get right to the point then Oh
01:11:42Pastille you know you don't have to plant excuses just to visit me I
01:11:48Wasn't planning anything I just forgot it on my way out that is a nice dress I
01:11:54I
01:11:55Find that hard to believe considering you've forgotten exactly one thing each time you visit really you should be more honest
01:12:02Sorry, thank you for returning it. Oh
01:12:05It's my pleasure it gave me a good excuse to see your flustered little face again
01:12:16Perry
01:12:17Sorry, I made you think I was ignoring you
01:12:20Hmm. Oh, I was only teasing my sweet still I can't I'm not ready to be open about who I see outside of work
01:12:28I like to keep things very discreet. I don't want to explain anything to my friends. I'd die of embarrassment
01:12:35So that's why
01:12:36Understood I'm actually used to being someone's little secret
01:12:40Hmm that doesn't sound quite right
01:12:42What I'm trying to say is I don't mind at all from now on. I'll just continue to let you come to me
01:12:48Thank you, sorry, I don't know what you keep apologizing for past you know, I'll see you around yes
01:12:58I'm pissed up a huge misstep. I should have guessed it from the hints
01:13:02He'd given just a few things he said here and there
01:13:05It was enough to put together wasn't it most obvious one being that he always comes to me not the other way around
01:13:10Our comfortable pattern that I recklessly interrupted. I should have known from previous encounters with closeted individuals
01:13:16What's supposed to be a fun surprise appearance can turn so quickly into a desperate rally to cling to normalcy
01:13:22Carefully constructed lies to conceal the piece of yourself that may not be accepted
01:13:35Some of the narration here is like really awkward to read
01:13:39You
01:13:47Pastille and I've been seeing a lot of each other during this past month. Was this the inevitable breaking point then?
01:13:52It can only become more complicated from here. Yeah, but it was going so perfectly for so long. Perhaps I'm being overdramatic. I
01:14:00Haven't grown tired of him at all, which is precisely the problem
01:14:03Unwilling to return home so soon. I walk in the direction of the apothecary
01:14:07Master Gallus will be able to knock some sense in me. It always does
01:14:14How's my voice acting
01:14:19All over the place what
01:14:24Well, I like the voice you have for periwinkle
01:14:37Astragalus are you busy? I know that wine you've shifted into dramatic bitch mode
01:14:46Take pity on me. I'm having a bad day. All right, baby. Tell me what happened
01:15:03It's fun watching you stretch your vocal chops, thanks
01:15:06So you're upset because you overstepped his boundaries
01:15:10Accidentally always leave out key information
01:15:13And now you think it's over between you two when you put it like that. I really do sound dramatic. I
01:15:19Mean you are but you also have a point if you want to avoid things getting complicated. This is your sign to get out
01:15:25I gotta say though for two guys who aren't in a committed relationship. Yes. Sure. Do you sound like you're in one? It's purely casual
01:15:32I've been seeing a few others in the midst of this
01:15:35But all you talk about is pastille every time you come in here, oh, I know I know
01:15:41I just wish I hadn't gone to return the jacket. It was supposed to be fun
01:15:46but now
01:15:48Yeah, yeah
01:15:54Yeah, honestly, I I think he's being unfair he shows up to your place than every once right yes
01:15:59But I don't have anything else going on. He has a respectable job and all
01:16:03My hmm sounds like you just have less self-respect and this guy isn't treating you, right?
01:16:08Now that's unfair. You simply said he wasn't ready. It doesn't mean making excuses now
01:16:14You are really hung up on him. This is hilarious to watch
01:16:18Enough, I simply cannot help it if he's just the cutest thing. Of course. I don't want to stop seeing him
01:16:33Familiar chimes sounded marking customers arrival. I sure may distinctively to see
01:16:37God a new one a new one periwinkle. Oh, I'm jeet. Oh
01:16:42Periwinkle OMG. You look so cute today. Why thank you. I certainly didn't expect to see you here
01:16:49Walks the back room still laughing a pair. Yes. I've been coming here to buy your magic
01:16:54Remember when you did a little demo for everyone of that one party. You've totally sold me on a fact that
01:16:59Hmm I've done a few so now I can't recall but I'm happy to hear it regardless
01:17:04So, what are you doing here on a date or on the job?
01:17:08No date today. I ruined my chance at that. Oh
01:17:12And what oh man what that's such a bummer
01:17:18Really never thought I'd hear that here of the day you of all people couldn't get a date though you date like
01:17:23Everyone it'd be more accurate to say I go on dates with everything. I should not be swinging around this mug of coffee like this
01:17:35Sec, let me go get an empty
01:17:46New Lord new Lord new Lord
01:17:52You
01:18:14These guys sound two things very gay and very wholesome
01:18:23I
01:18:32It'd be more accurate to say I go on dates with every it'd be more accurate to say I go on dates with everyone rather
01:18:38than actually date them
01:18:41Ah
01:18:43Same diff. You're like the thirst master
01:18:46Hmm, she's right. Not as if pastel is my only option if I'm going to if I'm looking for a good time
01:18:52Anyway, are you going to anyway? Are you going to chervil's party tonight?
01:18:57No, no, that's the first I've heard of it. He's throwing yet another soiree
01:19:02Yeah, I'm surprised
