Bright Flower
First time
(You wave the flower towards Loop.)
Loop (ew1) Urgh, a flower.
Loop (teehee1) I don't want any of your stuff, stardust!
Loop (lol5) Get that outta here!!!
(This is where your gentle, giving heart gets you.)
Second time
(You wave the flower towards Loop.)
Loop (ew1) Urgh, that flower AGAIN?
Loop (angry1) I don't want it, stardust! Give it to someone else!
Third time
(You wave the flower towards Loop.)
Loop (subdued1) Really, stop. This is getting annoying, now.
Loop (fake1) Give it to someone else.
Siffrin (questions1) "Like who?"
Loop (away1) Like...
At random:
Loop (away1) Like the Housemaiden.
Loop (away1) She'll never wear it, but it would fit her, I think.
(Would it...?)
At random:
Loop (away1) Like the Fighter.
Loop (ew1) He'd like anything you'd give him, that sucker.
(Would he...?)
At random:
Loop (away1) Like the Researcher.
Loop (away1) It would surprise her, if nothing else.
(Would it...?)
At random:
Loop (away1) Like the Kid.
Loop (away1) They're a kid, and what kind of kid doesn't like flowers?
(Is that so..?)
Siffrin (tired2) "Will you ever accept the flower?"
ACT 2 & 3
Loop (angry1) No, I won't, so stop trying.
(...)
ACT 4
Loop (away1) . . .
(Oh?)
(Maybe next time.)
Fourth time
(You wave the flower towards Loop.)
Loop (ew1) . . .
Loop (angry1) Fine.
Loop (ew1) Give me the blinding flower.
(!!!)
(You bring the flower to Loop, and gently drop it in their hand.)
Loop (ew1) ...
Loop (away1) . . .
(Loop doesn't say anything.)
(But it's fine.)
Fifth time onwards
(You wave the flower towards Loop, asking them silently if they'll accept it again.)
(After a minute, they nod.)
(You gently drop the flower in their open palm, and act like nothing out of the ordinary happened.)
(Loop does, too.)
Silver Coin
ACT 2
(You roll the coin around in your pocket.)
Loop (ew1) Oh, THAT thing.
Loop (fake1) Stop keeping that stupid coin! Go buy a snack with it or something, stars.
ACT 3
(You roll the coin around in your pocket.)
Loop (ew1) Are you rolling that coin again?
Loop (fake1) You've kept it this whole time. It's just pathetic, now.
ACT 4
(You roll the coin around in your pocket.)
Loop (happy1) ...
Loop (ew1) Urgh.
Loop (ew1) Do you want to talk about it.
(Why would you?)
(It's just a coin, after all.)
Loop (fake1) Of course it is.
Loop (fake2) There's definitely not a single reason you've kept it this whole time.
Loop (ew1) You haven't even tried to buy anything with it. A snack, a stupid item, ANYTHING.
Loop (angry1) Leave it behind already!!!
(...)
(Why does Loop care, anyway.)
Loop (ew1) ...
Loop (fake1) I don't care. Not in the slightest!
(...)
After the Incident
(You look at the coin.)
Loop (happy1) . . .
Loop (happy1) You can get so fixated sometimes.
Loop (ew1) You don't need to swear off croissants because of what happened. You don't need to keep that coin to remember what happened.
Loop (ew1) You don't need to keep that coin to remember them.
Loop (away1) Those rituals won't accomplish anything.
Siffrin (angry4) (You don't want to hear this right now!) "How could you understand how I feel?!"
Loop (fake1) ...Heh!
Loop (fake2) You're right. I can't understand you.
Loop (fake2) After all, I don't know what it's like to feel your home slip out from under you. To feel cut off from everything.
Loop (fake2) To want to remember it all, no matter what.
Loop (fake2) How could I?
Loop (subdued1) Look at me, stardust. Look at my face.
Loop (serious1) Do you REALLY think I'm supposed to be here?!
Loop (angry1) Do you REALLY think I can't understand what it's like, to not have a home I can go back to?
Loop (ew1) To see reflections of it everywhere I look, but without the connection that comes with it?
Loop (ew1) Do you really think I don't understand wanting to remember everything I've left behind?
Loop (away1) I'm a star, but do you really think it warms me up? That my chest isn't empty, still?
Loop (ew1) And even now, I'm alone, no one can understand what I'm going through, and the only person that could is...
Loop (away1) . . .
Siffrin (angry1) "...Is?"
Loop (away1) . . .
Loop (fake1) Nope, that's it! That's all you get, teehee!
(...)
(You feel like you understand Loop a lot better now.)
