loves_a_samurai | 2nd Butterfly - [Video/Action] FUN WITH HOROSCOPES! Murasaki Edition

Day 1-6: Truth may be perception, but you're just a freaking liar. [Everything Goes!]

[During ALL this event, Murasaki will be, mostly, saying the truth But she'll slip a lie or two in there, oops! Sorry about that. It's up to you to know if she's lying or not though (( mun will tell you when she is, don't worry )) ]

Day 2: Your dinner will make you pray for death. [Action]

[Ah... the fresh smell of bagels. Those do look delicious! And Murasaki didn't eat anything all day, so it's only natural she quickly devours say bagels while sitting inside the bakery.

Everything is going just fine, until she gets to the very last one.

The first bit is, at first, OK.

But then, comes the taste. A taste like moldy peaches. And rotten fish. And expired milk.

Needless to say, she promptly spits out the once tasty pastry and now nothing NOTHING will take that taste out of her mouth. And now she wants to die, just so then she can' taste that anymore.]

Day 3-4: Your next career: Gangster Florist [Video/Action]

[The feed starts and Murasaki is wearing all black and... black shades. And a fedora. Why the hell is she wearing those things anyway?

Also, her next announcement seems... rather suspicious.]

If anyone wants... some things to be taken 'care off', you can call me. I can make problem's 'disappear', if you guys know what I mean.

[She's obviously talking about how flowers make everything better and how everyone loves them. What you think she's talking about? Later on, she can be spotted walking around town, carrying a violin case. Full of flowers.]

Day 5: All your furniture has moved one inch to the left. [Video]

[Murasaki is mostly normal now, aside from the lying. There's something bothering her though.]

... Say... is it just me... or is my furniture moving by itself? [She looks at her bedroom. Her things were moved. She can feel it.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I doubt furniture can move there, Murasaki-chan. [Lupin sighs, carefully choosing his words. The shift that was happening this week, causing random animals to appear out of nowhere and peoples personalities to drastically change, was affecting him too. He didn't like what it was doing, either.

His grandfather would be so ashamed of him if he knew!

Still, the words tumble out of his mouth unbidden, with surprising casualness even for him.] You're not missing anything, are you?

[She takes a look around her room for a brief moment before answering.]

No. Nothing is missing. I just have the feeling the furniture was moved. Maybe it's just my imagination... [But with so many weird things happening that week, it wouldn't be unlikely for things to be moving on their on.]

Okay, good. [Lupin heaves a sigh, not entirely sure why he did so.] And don't be so quick to make that judgement, Murasaki. We're both new around here, so we don't really know what this place can get up to.

[Considering that Pops blamed the sudden appearance of a panda in his trunk earlier that week on Lupin, and the thief himself wasn't fully remembering everything his hands were doing, he wasn't so skeptical about furniture shifting of their own accord. Maybe her room was haunted by a poltergeist, at the very least.]

[She was going to ask him why he sounded so 'bummed' but then he mentions this place being strange and that pings her interest.]

Well... strange things did happen to me this week, so maybe that's another part of it... [Murasaki just hopes she doesn't end up eating something rotten. Again.]

[Lupin shrugs.] You get any horoscopes this week? I've heard that some of the strangeness is connected with those. We're...kind of guineea pigs in a lab experiment around here, in case you haven't heard yet.

[His tone darkens a little at this.] ...No. I don't like it either.

Oh, yes! I remember getting those. I just found them funny but... didn't pay them... much mind... [Now that she remembers what was written on those, realization hits her.]

AH! Everything written there is really happening! Do you... think they are going to keep sending those things to us? [Now Murasaki is REALLY worried.]

Uh...I wouldn't worry so much about that Murasaki-chan. [He smiles boyishly, using his charm in an attempt to throw off her concern despite the fact that he'd be lying if he also didn't feel a quick jolt of concern at her words himself. As much as theft was his profession and raison d'etre, he didn't like not remembering his actions. His only consolation was that this was different from that time he lost half of his life for two days.]

I've heard that these 'shifts' or whatever they're called are temporary effects. I've also heard that these things change up from time to time, with each 'shift' bringing something different.

Shifts, hm... [Murasaki stays in silence for a while to think about that. If getting trapped on an unknown world wasn't enough, now there's... something affecting the things and people in that world. No wonder Goemon was acting strange a couple of days ago.]

Maybe that blond guy I met was right. This place might be under some sort of evil spell! [She's being super rational here. What you mean she's been reading too many fantasy books?]

I, uh, wouldn't exactly call it an 'evil spell' there. [Lupin cannot deny that she does have a point. It wouldn't take less than an evil spell or a curse to do what's been done to him that week.

He sighs.] It should be over relatively quickly. At least, that's what I hear people saying. I did promise you that I'd help you figure this place out, didn't I?

Ah, yes you did. [She smiles at that. It is pretty good that she can count on her friends in an unknown place like that.]

I hope these 'horoscopes' weren't too rough you, Lupin-san.

No, not at all!

[He was a little too quick to respond. The unconscious thefts, the wrestling and running around with Pops, the honesty...

No. Definitely nothing rough.]

Hm, if you are saying so... [Murasaki kind of doubts him. That's probably her female intuition gauge going crazy.

She decides to ignore that feeling though.]

As long as you didn't have to eat moldy bread, I guess you did fine...

[Her intuition is right--Lupin is willfully resisting the urge to complain about what he had 'endured' over the course of the week. He focuses on the next best thing:]

Eww! Your horoscope tricked you into eating moldy bread??

My dear...that's horrible!

Eh, it was really quite awful! I thought I was going to die! [It almost feels like she still can feel that horrible taste in her mouth, if she thinks about it for too long.]

I was having a blast at one of the bakeries, but the last bagel I tried to eat suddenly turned moldy...

My eternal condolences. There's nothing worse than moldy baked goods!

...be glad it was something that mundane--this horoscope has made non-smokers take up smoking, or cause prescious items to go missing--

[He catches himself again before implying that it was likely by his own unremembered actions. No need to worry the sweet girl!]

Eh, taking up smoking sounds like something quite nasty! I'm glad I didn't go that way.

Still... something good did come out of this whole ordeal! [She suddenly beams a little.]
