[When the recording starts the bracelet's camera is focused on some kind of aquarium. It isn't completely filled with water and it has quite a few rocks and logs, some of which stick out above the water. On first glance the tank looks empty, but if one looks close they can see a little red claw crab sitting under a log inside.]

Does anyone know what kinds of things crabs do for fun? I'm keeping an eye on this guy for someone else, and I know I've got his food and home down but it looks kind of boring in there. Especially since he's all alone! Do they even make toys for crabs? He looks like he might break stuff with those claws....

Oh! And what kind of information do I need to give out to get a licence? I've never gotten one of these things before, so I'm not sure if I need to bring something or... what, really.

[OTL NO that's not how she was supposed to react!]

Yeah, sure. Keep trying to make diamonds out of coal, that'll work out.

audio

[occulthymns]

I will! [She's determined!!]

So what have you been doing lately? Did you go to the Traveller's Festival?

audio

[showmeanguish]

Catching up on some peace and quiet. [ie, nothing. His life's been a little boring lately.]

And no, I skipped out. Most festivals aren't my thing.

audio

[occulthymns]

You missed out! There was a lot of good food there.

audio

[showmeanguish]

Like what? [He's betting it was all fried, or too sweet for his liking.]

audio

[occulthymns]

Cotton candy! And Riku and I had ice cream, which was good. Hanako was running a booth that had chicken and lamb, too.

audio

[showmeanguish]

So mostly junk.

[He won't comment on her having icecream with others, even if it causes a weird sense of jealousy from him. Not when he'd already made a point of not caring.]

audio

[occulthymns]

[AWWWWWWW forever awwwwing.]

It wasn't junk! It was all really good!

What else did you do, besides stuff your face?

audio

[occulthymns]

[She huffs. That stings after Riku's comment about her getting chubby.]

I sang, for your information.

audio

[showmeanguish]

Don't you do that all the time anyway?

audio

[occulthymns]

It's like you and sparring. I need to practice a lot so I don't get rusty.

audio

[showmeanguish]

Really? I thought it was all natural talent, with witches.

audio

[occulthymns]

It is! Kind of. It's more like a seed that has the potential to grow into a flower. It can't live up to its potential without water and sunlight and soil.

The natural talent Witches have is worthless if it isn't nurtured properly.

[showmeanguish]

I see. The same as most things, then.

Well, hopefully you never get laryngitis.

audio

[occulthymns]

... Laryn-what?

audio

[showmeanguish]

Gitis. It's a sickness that makes you lose your voice.

audio

[occulthymns]

That sounds horrible! How do you catch it??

audio

[showmeanguish]

Heck if I know. I'm not a doctor.

audio

[occulthymns]

I'll have to look it up in the library later, see if you can catch it here....

audio

[showmeanguish]

Probably a good idea. Never know what the gods could hit you with.

audio

[occulthymns]

They wouldn't curse someone with an illness, would they?

audio

[showmeanguish]

Wouldn't put it past them, all things considered.

audio

[occulthymns]

That's just cruel....

audio

[showmeanguish]

The world's a harsh place. Why should it's rulers be any different?
