Aoi is the kind of character you get to know, not the kind of character that changes.

[nodo]

[ npc. if only he knew what an npc was.... ]

You're fine with that?

[gamerbrain]

... Yep.

[ that was a suspicious pause but it's. fine. ]

[nodo]

[ ......


... ]

Why were you talking about dishes earlier?

[gamerbrain]

[ she looks away. ]

Boop boop... No reason...

[nodo]

I think there is a reason.

[ he's not challenging her but...you know. ]

[gamerbrain]

There's not.

[nodo]

[ ......

law is not. the person for this. not even remotely. ]

Right.

[gamerbrain]

Boop boop boop...

[ she looks away again... and... it's memory time! law can have... literally the opening song to her canon! like watching it in a screen. it's from 28:40 to 30:00. wow, enjoy. ]

[nodo]

[ .........??

i'm impressed. law, a man who has seen a lot, is kind of unsure what to say here? it's offensive but he just...doesn't know what to make of it? ]

Were those other people your friends?

[ since that's what she assumed about him. ]

[gamerbrain]

... Not yet.

[nodo]

What? Later in your story you'll be friends or something?

[ just. by going from what she was talking to him about and...other weirdness.... ]

[gamerbrain]

Yep. Aoi didn't get to that part, yet.

[nodo]

...and how do you know that for sure?

[ this man is tired... ]

[gamerbrain]

Aoi played the game. Aoi knows what the game was going to be.

But Aoi came here, before it happened.

[nodo]

You played the game...

[ law doesn't even know what to do with this but there is something he does sort of know? ]

Hey, last time I had you do something for me, didn't I? Ask something from me.

[gamerbrain]

[ she nods and holds up her smartphone. ]

Aoi played the game.

[ but as for a request... she has to think about it for a long moment... and then perks up! ]

... Dishes!

[nodo]

[ that explains absolutely nothing to him but you know what? he can take dishes. dishes is fine. ]

Dishes? [ odd choice but he'll accept it. ] Isn't there something here that can wash those for us?

[ he's not refusing but...okay? ]

[gamerbrain]

There's too many for the dishwasher...

[ and a lot of ingredients left out... um... the kitchen is in a real bad state. don't worry about it... ]

[nodo]

[ what.....happened......... ]

Fine. [ ""its fine"" ] The dishwasher still works, though, right? I'm not washing everything in the dishwasher and the extra, am I?

[gamerbrain]

... Aoi can't answer that.

[ you think she's interacted with the dishwasher in any capacity, here? absolutely not. ]

[nodo]

[ ....you know, kind of wish? ]

Fine, let's go then.

[ actually—??? does she have to come along to watch him wash dishes??? ]

Unless you don't want to come with.

[gamerbrain]

Aoi will keep you company!

[ doesn't that kind of make it worse... ]

[nodo]

[ i.

does it?? he has no idea but if this is something she wants..... ]

Okay, if that's what you want.

[ to the kitchen they go, i guess. ]

[gamerbrain]

[ nice

when they arrive the kitchen is a disaster zone. aoi tried cooking again. except she seems to not... read... very well. and whenever she messed up she just grabbed more dishes and started over? so there are a bunch of failed half-attempts strewn all over.

also she's clumsy, so there are spills.

enjoy! ]
