[ a little nod ]

It... hasn't been long at all, actually. It's barely been a month.

[ (waves hands oocly) ]

[holyspirits]

[ at least she hasn't been dead that long? well, no, looks can be deceiving. after all—

... what were they thinking about, again? ]

So they're like training wings. [ a little tease. ] Is it something you ever had an interest in before? Matchmaking, that is.

[cupidsammo]

[ 'Training wings' is one way of putting it. ]

I did it a lot at school, actually. Everyone was always looking for their special someone...

[holyspirits]

And what about you? Did you find one for yourself after a while?

[cupidsammo]

[









well ]

I, ah. I haven't been in a relationship before, no.

[holyspirits]

Oh. Well, you're only fifteen. I don't think it's terrible that you haven't. Unless you wanted one... ?

[cupidsammo]

It's a little complicated... B- but it would be nice?

[holyspirits]

[ hm... ]

I get it. I think love can be complicated until you find the right person. Sometimes even more complicated because you find the right person.

[cupidsammo]

[ a slow nod ]

It can be a lot. I do want to fall in love one day, but that will have to wait for later, anyway.

[holyspirits]

After you fulfill all of your cupidly tasks? Can a cupid make another cupid fall in love?

[ this is just them being nosy again. ]

[cupidsammo]

[ shakes her head ]

No, we can't. Our ammo doesn't work on each other like that.

[holyspirits]

At least you have workplace safety in mind. [ mildly. and a joke. ] Your... ammo?

[cupidsammo]

Yeah. Because... cupids shoot their targets.

[ Much as she says it in a 'well, yeah' way, she's at least aware of how it sounds. ]

[holyspirits]

I've never thought of arrows as ammo, but I suppose that makes sense. [ yeah. ]

[cupidsammo]

[ ..... /wonders if she should correct this or not ]

It's... probably not incorrect, technically.

[holyspirits]

[ this seems to agitate them, slightly. ]

If it's incorrect, say so. Don't let misinformation spread out of politeness.

[cupidsammo]

[ she starts a little. called out. ]

R- right. Sorry... [ ;;;; ] We, um—don't use arrows. They're considered old fashioned at this point...

[holyspirits]

[ they do not often pull their punches, sorry koharu. ]

Oh? Then what is it if— [ hang on. ]

Is that what your gun is for?

[cupidsammo]

Even you've been reading those, huh...

[holyspirits]

It's really the only information we got on all of you. Not reading it seemed like a terrible idea.

[cupidsammo]

... You have a point. You're right, that's what it's for.

[holyspirits]

Really, I would prefer talking to you all in person and learning more that way, but if we have to start somewhere that will have to do. [ ... ] But you're serious? Bullets?

[cupidsammo]

[ a nod ]

I know it sounds strange... It was to me too, at first. But it's a more efficient way of working.

... That's what they say, anyway.

[holyspirits]

Have you had a chance to use them yet? [ like. yes they are asking if she's had a chance to shoot anyone yet, but still. ]

[cupidsammo]

I have. A handful of times already, even. I'm missing my usual bullets here, though, so it might be a while before I get the chance to again.

[ i say, in backtag land, ]
