[Once again Emil is out wandering around the village, although this time he's got his chimera Sial at his heels. Sial is carrying a small stick in his mouth, and every so often he'll run over to Emil and nudge at the boy's leg until Emil reaches down to take the stick and toss it halfheartedly for Sial to fetch. There's clearly something on his mind at the moment if his downcast expression is any indication.

If you happen to pass the pair, Sial might come bother you to see if you'll throw the stick for him.]

[OOC: Phonetagging for the rest of the afternoon, I just wanted to get this up before the event.]

[Oh hey, it's Emil and... some cat-like creature. Well, that's new. Still, he's curious enough to approach.]

Hey.

[knightofratatosk]

Huh? Oh, hi Riku.

[Sial will approach for pettings! And maybe a stick toss or two.]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Something up?

[Heh. He'll do just that, then!]

[knightofratatosk]

Not really, I was just thinking about how the Malnosso didn't make people fall in love like they did this time last year. I wonder why not.

[He liiieeees.]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Don't know, but I can't really complain. That kind of experiment would be a pain.

[knightofratatosk]

I think a lot of people were really embarrassed after that one.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

So what happened last year?

[knightofratatosk]

I think you fell in love with the first person you talked to over the journals, but if you were already with someone, you just... loved them more.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

No wonder they were embarrassed. Sounds like it could happen to anyone, even someone you hate.

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah, that was the problem. Some people did end up with someone they hated.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

And I'm guessing it went a whole week, as usual.

[knightofratatosk]

Right.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Definitely glad I missed out on that one. Maybe they decided to go easy on us this year, but somehow I doubt that.

[knightofratatosk]

They could be planning something else for later...

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Great, now you've jinxed it.

[But he's smirking. Someone's just joking around.]

[knightofratatosk]

What? I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to--

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

... Relax, Emil. I'm kidding.

[knightofratatosk]

... oh. I knew that.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Sure you did.

Still, wouldn't surprise me if something did happen.

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah, you're probably right. We haven't gotten any experiments at all this month, so I bet they're waiting to spring something on us later when we're not expecting it.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Everyone was expecting something this time. Maybe that's why they're holding back.

[knightofratatosk]

...

[Oh great.]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

... What?

[knightofratatosk]

What if they're planning to do the same thing, only later on so that we're not expecting it?

[EMIL HAS BRIEF FLASHES OF GENIUS. Sometimes. Occasionally.]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

You know, that really wouldn't surprise me...
