[liliaofthevalley]

How kind of you. But they are rather brief, are they not?

[impacter]

Mm. They're not the first I've written - just additions. Duplicates, in many ways. But it's easier for me to write down the brief and expand on my own time than to try to compile the complex with their memories fading.

I already don't retain everything as it is. I'd rather not test it.

[liliaofthevalley]

Is that all you're writing for tonight, then?

[impacter]

Whatever I have time for, honestly. We don't have much left.

You can join me, if you'd like. I don't have a large amount, but I could show you how to fold them into stars.

[liliaofthevalley]

Sure, why not? It would be a good way to pass the time before we pass out.

[impacter]

[Just digging through his jacket pocket for a couple more strips, uno momento.]

You still have a pen on you, correct?

[liliaofthevalley]

[Taking out his magic pen!]

Always.

[impacter]

Then whatever comes to you, write it down. So long as it invokes a clear memory of them.

[He'll drop that little pile down nearby and instead work on folding the strip made for Yugamu into a little paper star while he waits.]

[liliaofthevalley]

Very well then.

[Hmm, what to write...?

"✿ A young woman up against an impossibly powerful force. She, too, seeks the safety of the world from human greed. Moonstone.

☆ A woman who carries herself with a knightly demeanor. She is excitable and well-intentioned, even against her urges. Moonstone.

🗡 A man who has lost sight of that which once brought him joy. Older than I am - I wonder, would he enjoy the games I get to play in my own world, too...? Moonstone."]

[He's juggling Aerith bullying him and Don running over with flour covering everything, but at least it gives Lilia time to write in peace. Solomon won't peek - it's not his job.]

Do you want to start with that much, and see how it feels? It's a very simple fold.

[liliaofthevalley]

Certainly. Please, she me how it's done.

[impacter]

[He chuckles, grabbing one of the remaining strips he's already filled out.]

First, a loop at one end, like this. Pull the end through gently, like tying a knot--

Then you fold the long portion over... And just rotate, in a pentagon, allll the way until the end, here...

Tuck that little end into the pocket it makes, just make sure it's snug. And then you just pinch those corners, very lightly, just enough to make them pop.

[Voila.]

[liliaofthevalley]

How cute. You could make a bunch of these and keep them in a glass jar for decoration.

[Folding one, himself!]

[impacter]

They're a very fun craft to teach children, I've heard. I just decided to adapt it a little.

[Aerith's run off with his pen so he'll have to wait a little before continuing his writing, but he does look at the star he's just folded, delicately squeezed between finger and thumb.]

It makes the memories easier to keep, when you make them fun.

[liliaofthevalley]

Have you been decorating your room with them as well, then?

[Time to fold another!]

[impacter]

Here? No. Only a personal collection for myself.

We've lost three of our five in only five days time. The dead deserve their space, and so does Pinocchio.

[liliaofthevalley]

Ah... that's true. You've had a difficult time as of late.

[impacter]

[...

He exhales quietly, before folding up another star, slower this time.]

So long as we can avoid any more being lost permanently, I'll have no complaint.

[liliaofthevalley]

...I will hope for it as well.

[Good news: more of peridot did not immediately die!

Bad news:]

[impacter]

[worse news: he didn't specify peridot :')]

Mm. We only do what we feel we must, as we can. Right?

At least, for this... I really appreciate the help.

[liliaofthevalley]

It's not as though it's anything that difficult. I'm glad to help in this way, if nothing else.
