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.

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. ]
