WHAT IN PERSON, YA FOOLS
WHERE anywhere
WHEN Day 8, evening

[ it's beginning to be summer -- or something like that, sort of. late spring? the weather has been warming up is the point and in the twilight of, well, now, the fireflies have also come out.

twinkling little stars that are actually bugs. Rather, slightly larger than the normal firefly -- in fact, perhaps they seem more like will o' the wisp sized.

But still, a lovely summer. If you follow one they may lead you (crashing into) the path of someone else.

Or the lake.

Definitely also the lake. ]

It could be both? Though either one lends to the effect.

That's true... I guess that makes it summer now.

I guess it does?

The seasons must be different here.

It's hard to track, honestly. But the weather has been nice. Fireflies are as reliable a measurement as anything else around here.

I see. I guess we'll have to pay closer attention to things like that.

It's that or keep a tally, which sounds like something I'll quit doing.

As for these fireflies, it looks like people are pretty compelled to follow them.

Oh. That makes a lot of sense.

We should probably walk together. You know, for safety.

[he pauses a moment]

It's fine if you want to walk home together just because?

[dhdngmg haha]

We could also walk in the park, as long as we don't steer into the lake.

I'd like that. It's a very nice night.

It's pretty beautiful. All we have to do is play it safe and we get to enjoy it.

Then, let's enjoy it?

[Offers his hand]

[t, takes his hand.]

Sure.

All right.

[squeezes his hand lightly, tugging towards the path]

How'd your day go?

It went well. I feel like I'm settling in to things now.

I went to your store. It looks like it ate another store.

Yeah, there's a lot of really strange things in the stock room.

It's a perfect place for you though, right? You have really high tolerance for creepy stuff.

Yes, is really not that strange to me.

[curls their fingers together, walking... Kind of awkwardly]

What kind of stockwork is it? You haven't run into anything strange have you?

[is he okay? It's something going on??]

It's mostly moving boxes around and taking deliveries. There's been some strange things that came in but it's nothing I can't handle.

[it's like he's injured!!]

Oh yeah? Like what?

Well some of them make noises and some of them have strange smells or liquids...
