[After several attempts to leave her room and get some fresh air are thwarted by her housemates, Estelle's going crazy. It's nice and all that they're all concerned, but a girl can only stay in bed so long resting before she wants to pull her hair out in frustration. The fact that 'so long' amounts to about 24 hours is another issue altogether.]

So I suppose asking people 'If you were stranded on a deserted island, name 3 things you would bring' is pointless now, right.

I'm sick and stuck in bed. Tell me something awesome that's happened to you recently? Or not so recently. I think we could all use a pick me up right now.


[She's grown bored of attempts to train chickens to bring her things. It's not working out so well.]

I finally got to try papayas again.

[ Which is a pretty small 'something awesome' and probably not much help, so... ]

If you're looking for distractions, do you like riddles?

[brightlyshines]

Really?!

[Small to some other people maybe, but Estelle was exceptionally fond of food, so to her that sounded delightful.]

That's pretty awesome! Especially in a place like this.....

[Riddles though..... Well, if it wasn't a certain masked weirdo's riddles, it couldn't be that bad.]

Riddles aren't my usual thing, but I'm not saying no. You've got some fun ones?

[recommending]

Really. My house got three crates of them earlier this month.

[ He's actually not sure they'll be able to finish them all in time, oops. As for riddles. ]

I think they're fun. Try this one, first.

You're given a single match and locked in a dark room. Inside is a candle, a fireplace, and a gas lantern. Which do you light first?

[brightlyshines]

Wow....! We got a bunch of coconuts, at our house. Not quite as filling as yours, unfortunately.

[The shells were kind of useful, though. All that work for a few bites though kind of sucked to Estelle though.

Her answer to the riddle comes immediately after, because the answer seems fairly obvious to her... unfortunately.]

The candle? So I can light everything with it.

Hey, Estelle-san, it's Minato. Are you okay? You've probably got Joshua-san and everyone looking out for you, right?

[Still, he's gotta check.]

[brightlyshines]

Hey Minato. I'm doing ok! You?

....I just wish they'd let me go outside. I'm not that sick.

[She's absolutely that sick. She didn't get sick often luckily, but...]

[messianic]

I think, if they're keeping you to bed rest, you probably really are that sick. Sorry, Estelle-san, I can't risk it by rescuing you.

But we can chat if that'll help keep you busy. Let's see... Well, seeing everyone mostly safe and sound and back probably counts as something awesome, right? That all aside, I still really enjoyed that flower crowns day we had.

[brightlyshines]

But Minato......!

....Not that I expect anyone to manage a rescue that gets past Joshua. I swear he's got a sixth sense sometimes.

[The dangers of having a boyfriend who's skilled at sneaking around: She'd never manage to sneak past him. She's never beaten him at poker, either.]

Yeah, getting everyone back to town was definitely awesome... and the flower crowns were, too! It had been ages since I had a chance to make one, so it was kind of fun.

Someone made me lunch.

[brightlyshines]

Ooooh. Was it good?! What kind of food was it?

[Estelle is Always Here for food talk.]

[bisection]

Ah, he said fish. And rice. Some vegetables... it was good.

I think it was a long time ago, maybe, I had something like it.

[brightlyshines]

[Fish....!!! Speaking her language here.]

Ooooh, fish is always good! At least in my experience.

But a long time ago....?

You're sick? What with? Maybe I can help.

[brightlyshines]

Probably a cold or something? It got really cold and wet on that island with all the rain, and all the fighting we had to do didn't help much.

[Neither did the limited food and fresh water supply.]

[thoushaltnotdie]

Hm, I have something to help with fever and coughs if it's anything too bad. If nothing else, I've tea here with me that might soothe you, if nothing else.

[Something 'awesome', hm?]

i once helped a man find a reverse rainbow

Re: #F0E68C

[brightlyshines]

[....Ok that definitely sounded awesome, even if Estelle is having trouble imagining it.]

A reverse rainbow? Those exist? What do they look like?

[tenthousandmiles]

it was a particular kind of mushi
creatures from my world
the colors are inverted from a typical rainbow, and you can only see them while looking towards the sun

[whereabout]

I could read you one of the books I brought back.

[ Of course the nerd has a nerd solution for her boredom. Of course. ]

Re: #000033

[brightlyshines]

That might actually be more fun than reading them myself, come to think of it... But I want to move around, Joshua!

[#priorities.]

[whereabout]

I know. But you can't yet.
