Okay, did Noriko drink a lot of sugar.

She keeps on coming into my apartment in Domino I'm using off on.

And asking things like

"So how big of a flying island should I build."

"I want to make a geosynchronous space elevator world city start with Domino or something."

"Shiroko, wanna be Prime Minister."

Did. Someone. Get her out of depression?? Is she on cocaine?? I didn't think she could get drunk or get affected by human drugs.

Ai, please, help, come restart Castle & Castle with me so my family doesn't think I'm a deadbeat due to some weird spell.

... This is new for her.

[whitrthanwhite]

WHAT HAPPENED.

Why is Noriko no longer depressed??

[memoryistime]

I mean, it's a good thing technically, right?

[whitrthanwhite]

I guess it is. But what's the source of all her pep?

[becomeanwarrior]

...I am alarmed for several reasons.

[whitrthanwhite]

Why?

[becomeanwarrior]

Something about Noriko being this... peppy and none of us knowing why makes me feel some irrational fear that our timeline is approaching a swift and grisly end.

Call it paranoia.

[whitrthanwhite]

Uh. Walk me through the logic train, dear.

Why do you think the world is going to end because Noriko is happy.

[becomeanwarrior]

Noriko being peppy and happy is out of character for her.

Ergo, that's not Noriko.

Ergo, someone has taken over Noriko, and has access to Noriko's eldritch power.

Ergo, this timeline is doomed and we're all about to perish.


...I never said it was a rational train of thought.

[whitrthanwhite]

Or she's manic depressive...?

[becomeanwarrior]

I mean, we knew that.

But her usual cheeriness is much more... subtle?

[whitrthanwhite]

... Is it?

I usually imagine her cheerfulness being all rainbow sparkle parade and oh there's an elephant and your apartment has quadrupled in size.

[becomeanwarrior]

Really? To me it's always seemed more of the like, whimsical subdued playful heriess type, you know, "Ara ara...", kinda like that?

[whitrthanwhite]

Maybe you don't get hit by her bigger production or really high moods.

Or she's gentlier because she's your cousin.

[becomeanwarrior]

That's true. Though I'm not sure I'd say 'gentle' is the correct word...

But I get what you mean. It still feels... odd. And not knowing what happened makes it odder.

[whitrthanwhite]

Maybe she just had an epiphany or 'grew up' again?

[lust_ai_love]

Yeah, sure. I've been thinking about doing a demon themed line, actually, of clothing, shoes and undergarments. As our main brand line.

Though, could you let me use your sports car and help me take a 7 foot talk metal container that's 20 inches wide and help me dump it into Domino Bay with a lead anchor.

Before we do so.

[whitrthanwhite]

Oddly specific but sure, yes.
