[ people post on sunday and list it as saturday this is gaslighting ]
A few of the profession. They take their work to heart as any other. [ I will Aymeric into respecting clowns. A nod when she says she's fine. He won't press more. ] They're supposed to bring colors themselves, but that responsibility is bestowed unto us now, hasn't it.
[this is a crime against our easily confused asses]
Calling it a responsibility that has been bestowed upon us makes it sound like we should be honored by it. [She clicks her tongue, frowning.] The color stuff? Yeah. It left me feeling pretty tired, though... Just like they said it would.
Some may see it that way and it may be posed as such. In the end, the colors are a tool.
[ A nod. ]
When I had conjured some food to share, it left me weary. Liken to the vibrant hostiles, color drains energy. A strange and unsettling aftereffect that has me wonder more.
Those guys said a lot of things. But some of it... Our colors are us, or something like that, was it? If it leaves us feeling so tired, I wonder if we're not draining our own life away.
They also claim for color to return, we need only rest.
[ Hm. ]
I have similar concerns... The residents are colorful themselves yet they put little stock in identity. Exactly what part of us is being drained? Is it lifeforce? Or will it be individuality?
Yes... That's another issue. From the way they spoke, it doesn't sound like they were born here. But they don't seem to remember, or even care. If it's because of the colors, are we destined to end up like them?
A conundrum we find ourselves in... These abilities will be useful for survival, so I cannot discourage usage.
[ for now ]
We do not know enough to make a conclusion, but to believe in all that is given to us would be foolish when the residents' memories leave us with scruple. I dare not advise we stop interacting with them, neither should we raise arms. They could very well be suffering themselves.
Right... If they're telling the truth, they could be in the same situation as us. And we'll need them to learn more about how this world works, anyway. It's stupid to cut ties with someone you can still use.
[ He chuckles, not at all put off by what she says... Because... Sometimes you're just right. ]
Aye, I agree. Then let us see what we can find of this place so we may return home. As pleasant as the residents are and I yet have a reason to disregard their words about the Prism, I do not intend to make my stay here permanent.

And he's covered in the monochrome confetti. While he doesn't look angry, he does look bewildered? And very tired. ]
Oh, hello and apologies for my unsightly dress.

Nogiku just blinks... and shrugs. His confetti dress is none of her business, it's fine.]
It's better to avoid the carnival for now.
[Clowns. :/]

Never has a clown left me without mirth. Have you been faring well? 'Tis... [ does cicada rhythm math. ] The third day.

Met plenty of clowns in your life?
[Is that a real question? Mystery.]
I'm fine.
