WHAT in person for maximum wish power
WHERE by the lake or anywhere
WHEN night of day 140
NOTES it's a tanabata post!

[ Bamboo trees line the shore of the lake tonight, trailing papers from their branches. Each one is inscribed with a wish mysteriously left by...someone. Some of them are generic, like "world peace," and others are kind of weird and random, like, "fishes with candy scales."

But if you touch one, the text on it might turn into one of your wishes. Maybe it's something innocuous, but maybe it's one of your deepest secrets.

Well, maybe you don't go to the lake tonight. In any case, the stars are luminously bright overhead, and looking at them instills you with a strange sense of nostalgia... ]

Not at all but it'd sound absolutely weird if I just echoed the same thing back.

[he laughs]

We'd get caught in a loop.

[ribblerouser]

[lifts a lock of Vasily's hair and kisses it] That we would.

[divasterous]

Mikk, you're soooo soft on me . . .

[ribblerouser]

Me, soft? Well, let's talk about your feelings, then.

[divasterous]

. . .

Whiplash.

[ribblerouser]

Your feelings are whiplash or I just made you feel whiplash about the idea of talking about your feelings when we're being sweet?

[divasterous]

Both.

[a little nasal whine]

[ribblerouser]

[kisses his forehead]

We came here to do just that, didn't we?

[divasterous]

[leans into that with a sigh]

Remind me what we were talking about?

[ribblerouser]

Your panicked avoidance of making wishes.

[divasterous]

Oh, right.

I mean. I just. Already have more than I deserve, right?

[ribblerouser]

Wrong?

[ribblerouser]

You're starting from an incorrect premise, so let's break it down more granularly.

[divasterous]

I feel greedy.

[ribblerouser]

Why do you feel greedy?

[divasterous]

I already have so much.

[ribblerouser]

And what do you want that pushes it too far?

[divasterous]

No, no, it's not that.

[ribblerouser]

Then?

[divasterous]

I just don't want to ask for anything at all. As though that would make me ungrateful.

[ribblerouser]

Isn't it just normal?

[divasterous]

Is it?

[ribblerouser]

Have you ever thought a negative thought for me wanting endless things?
