But you are now? [ ... ] Are they somewhere in heaven with you? Is that why?
[ if they're the only people who matter, can you really be happy if they're not here? ]
There was no guarantee it was real and you all just looked for it anyway? [ sounds kind of nuts for something that could've just been in their imaginations? ] What kind of things?
... I do miss them. [ take that as you will. ] But this job's just as important.
[ they are happy knowing their friends aren't in big danger, but they miss them anyway. how could you not when they're so integral to your life? ]
The one in charge of the hunt was very persuasive. I think he could have led us to the bottom of the ocean and we would have all followed anyway. We all believed in it, so we knew it had to be worth something. [ but they consider how to phrase this. ] Are you familiar with psychic abilities? Do some demiflora have those?
You'll get to see them again after this, right? Two months isn't that long.
[ this guy sounds pretty impressive...? laurence listens curiously, trying to paint a picture in his head. ]
Uh... Depends on what you mean by that. I don't think any of them can do stuff like read your mind or whatever - but Begonias can move stuff around with their minds, and Lilies can hypnotize people, so...?
We'll see what happens after these two months. Maybe if God does another trial period like this, I'll volunteer again. [ anything can happen...
also, they cannot hear laurence's meta but they would agree while also disagreeing because it would do no good to give that guy a big head. ]
A little similar. Ours are more the "see your future" kind. The ability to tap into people and see inside of them. That sort of thing. I'm familiar with that, but I wanted to see something else. I wanted to find something real on my own that wasn't connected to what I knew before.
Why did you volunteer? What are you getting out of this if you have to be stuck here instead of with the people you want to be with?
[ definitely cannot imagine doing this himself ]
Oh... I think that book said a Chrysanthemum might be able to do something like that - "reading your fate" or something. [ iris would never shut up about that book. ] What was this big new thing, anyway?
My friends would understand. And I want to be able to help, because I was asked to. And if I was asked to for different reasons than I'm usually asked for help I'd like to see if I can. That's all there is.
[ but he continues and they nod to that. ]
Right, same concept. We were looking for something that was meant to grant a wish.
[ not being successful and not being needed are touchy subjects sometimes, it's fine. ]
Hah. Very funny. [ but... what a question. ] Maybe plane tickets to travel for a while. Back then the wish was for them, and I didn't mind that as long as I could see it in action.
Oh. It's an aircraft that allows you to travel across the sky. [ they're fine explaining that. ] It makes it easier to get to places that are very far away.
[ anyway, now the fun part. ]
... it didn't work the way we thought it would. Things still worked out, but the method was different.

[ great outlook thank you
hmmm. ] You're right. That doesn't sound like a real thing at all.
no subject
It was real enough. We just ended up finding a lot more than we expected along the way.

[ don't just assume they mean that? ]
What kinds of things would you wish for, anyway? A nice garden?

[ iris didn't know what a car is i doubt they know about planes ]
And it actually worked when they did use it?
[ he's weirdly fascinated. but it also sounds like something like that could be incredibly dangerous. ]
