Fine. But I'll be watching, so don't try to fool me.

[retellers]

[ rabbit hates this ]

So... what do you want to talk about...

[cuedoves]

[ just slap him. ]

I wanted to ask you what you remembered. And, uh... if you want to take your mask off, you can. But you don't have to.

[retellers]

Um. I can, but can we wait a moment first?

[ for them to be less embarrassed because this whole interaction just made them even more embarrassed than they were before. ]

I don't mind talking about it though.

[cuedoves]

.... Whenever you want.

[ yall got so defensive at him before so he's not pushing it!! ]

I wanted to know what you remembered about the realm... but about you, too. If you want to talk about that.

[retellers]

[ listen, oocly you asked before we were allowing them to unmask, ]

Some of it isn't that interesting.

[cuedoves]

[ listen i know but he's just not pushing it because of that. ]

... It is to me.

[retellers]

Um, well... the nicer one I got, I was making a movie with some friends.

[ ... ]

Actually, I'm not sure if it was that nice... it seemed like a pretty bad movie, and the person directing it was kind of bossy...

[cuedoves]

... Yeah. I know about bossy friends.

[ wtf is a movie. ]

But uh... as long as you had fun?
