Black-as-can-be cats arrive a-pair,
Up on a rooftop, a plaintive eve,
And on the tips of their pointed tails hung
A wispy crescent-moon, looking hazy.
'O-wah, good evening,'
'O-wah, good evening!'
'O-wah, o-wah, o-wah!'
'O-wah, the man of this household is bedridden.'

A poem by Sakutaro Hagiwara, that I heard once from a friend. It seems things have calmed down since #FFFFFF arrived, but I wonder if that's the end of it.

How is everyone's literary analysis? I think we should be prepared for more mysterious messages, and maybe there's a way to prevent it before it gets bad.

so anyway do you have any poems about crows

[passio]

Crows?

No, I don’t think so. Do you like crows?

[parodeity]

yeah i do
theyre also kind of thematic to my life i guess

[passio]

Then I wish I knew a crow poem for you. What do you mean by... thematic?

[parodeity]

crows are kind of a recurring thing in my life?

[passio]

It seems like you’re artistic. You should apply those themes to some writing or art.

[ his ”””art”””” ]

[parodeity]

man if you find a box of chalk or crayons ill get my picasso on

[passio]

It would all be grey, though. I suppose crows are black, but...

[ the values of dave’s illustrations implied some kind of desperation for color... dextera knows not what he asks, however. ]

[parodeity]

i miss color
this suuuuucks

[passio]

Hmm.

What color do you miss the most?

[ an idle curiosity... but one that he's determined to have answered now that he's thought of it. ]

[parodeity]

red

[ dave is a simple man. ]

[passio]

I think I expected that.

The sky was red back in my world, so I don't mind it, but I would rather see blue again.

[parodeity]

the sky was red?
why was it red

[passio]

It was the color of the end of the world.

[parodeity]

oh you too huh

[passio]

[ "you too"... that's no good. dave is just a kid. ]

This is something I wish we didn't have in common.

[parodeity]

yeah well
it semes to be an actually common problem unforutnately

[passio]

I wonder if that has anything to do with why we were brought here? But there are so many people who haven't been through the same thing.

[parodeity]

yeah i dont think everyone has so its more like
a weird coincidence than anything else
you know same hat

[passio]

[ he doesn't know memes...... ]

...same hat?

[parodeity]

like we both are going through the same thing kinda

[passio]

Hmm.

Then, “same hat,” though it would be better if it were a different hat after all.

[parodeity]

haha yeah
ngl it would be way easier if the universe were not ending or whatever

(ngl is not gonna lie)

[passio]

Oh, like "lol." I'm catching up, I think.

[ there was one he mentioned before as well... btw. that one might be... "by the way"? dextera is more distracted by the chatspeak than by the apocalypse. ]

[parodeity]

soon well have you speaking like a true interwebs denizen
which is of course your new life goal maybe
