That's something! I know there's a centaur here, and Pikachu is a... um... pokey something. Porcupine? I don't remember. Anyway, there's people here that aren't human, and I think that's okay.
[Look, commenting on someone's dental work is rude!]
That's okay. We're talking and learning about each other just fine, no matter what we are, right?
I hope we can help you get some of your memories back. I think it would be really lonely, to know you've lived for a long time but not to remember anything about yourself.
Perhaps. Though a luxury may be that even if I don't remember who I am, I still feel as though I know what I exist to do--that age has carved it into my skin.
[ also hm. they've been talking and not eating, so their ice cream has melted. ]
Mm, I will! [Not just yet, though - she has eyeballs, she saw that "we're super busy" sign.]
If we need help with something and your magic can help us, especially with nova, then are we able to come ask? Having someone that can freeze things could be really helpful! And your other powers, too!
I don't know, either, but I bet it could still be useful if we kept it in mind! You're part of our team, too, Goat-san!
[What a sad sight, to see just a giant ice cube with ice cream trapped in the center....]
Mmm. I wish I had my magic, I could help a little... Maybe if we'd put a stick in it beforehand we could have turned that into a popsicle? That's ice cream you don't need a spoon for...
You wanna take a walk??? Maybe if we talk it'll melt enough that you can actually eat it again!
Yeah! It's super-frozen ice cream on a little stick! It doesn't melt as fast, so you can walk around and eat it with one hand. Sometimes you can get it covered in chocolate or other sweet things!
[And because this is affection week so we all must suffer, Hikaru's gonna gently take Goat by the elbow and lead them down the street.]
Anyway... you said you remembered what you were meant to do, right? What was that?
That's okay! I think that's a good start, don't you?
[following the road, away from the castle! Though Hikaru does take a second to glance over her shoulder at it. It still looks so weird...]
...Hey, Goat-san, um... is there a reason the castle looks so funny from here? I climbed a tree the other day, and it looks the same from a tree near the castle as it does from waaay over at the bridge.

I'm fourteen! How about you, how old are you?
no subject
[ ... despite what they just said. ]

excuse me]
Huh?
Didn't you just say you knew your age?

That's so sad, though...
Are you a human like me? I know my friend Clef looks younger than me but is really, really old... so is Chijin-san.

[ which is to say ]
I don't know what I am, but I am not human.

no subject
[Oh. Oh no, sprinkle soup...]
--Oh! Oh, hang on, Goat-san, your ice cream!
H-hey, does the castle have a freezer?
no subject
[ they pause, before they place their hand above the melted ice cream and
it refreezes? maybe a bit too much because it's kind of a block of ice now. ]
no subject
[That's really cool but also AAAAA???]
W-wait, do you have magic, Goat-san???
no subject
I don't know if I would call it magic, but... something like that?
no subject
[Not that she's had any need for using a Fire Arrow on anything yet, but yknow.]
no subject
In return for connecting to the Realm and giving up our memories, I think...
no subject
Is ice the only magic you have?
no subject
[ but they shake their head. ]

[ this is going to
take a while to melt back into edible ice cream. ]

A walk is fine.

no subject
[ oh! goat doesn't seem to mind, at least, though they don't show much of a reaction either way. ]
To help others.
no subject
Hikaru's fine, though, so off they go!]
Do you know anything specific you wanna help them with? Or is it just kinda all-around wanting to be helping?
no subject
and away they go! any particular direction they're heading in? ]
It's... a general sentiment, at the very least? I can't remember if there was anything specific...
