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.

cuz if he feels like shit it makes the most sense

[passio]

I agree with you, but I guess we’ll never know for sure. I’m pretty sure the author is dead.

[pursestrings]

ah shit really
that sucks
got u to agree instead of asking more questions though

[The real(???) goal, obviously.]

[passio]

Was that your plan?

[ is he asking another question to be sassy or is it sincere? who knows! (it’s sincere.) ]

[pursestrings]

yeah definitely
the whole time

[passio]

I'm sorry to have hassled you with questions.

It's just interesting to get another opinion.

[pursestrings]

u posted this dude
don't start saying sorry now, that's weird

[passio]

Then... thank you, for humoring me.

[ is that better?? he's not sure??? ]

[pursestrings]

u always thank people for talking to u?

[passio]

[ ...

is that how he interpreted it? it’s not wrong, but dextera is quietly stunned to see it laid out like that. ]

I don’t talk to many people.

[pursestrings]

[It's something like that; he can't fathom why the apology came up in the first place, so the swap to thanking him didn't sit well either. So.]

no shit [nerd]
u don't gotta do that for me
i'm not some kinda weirdo

[passio]

[ this person... is so blunt! and yet strangely kind, in assuring dextera that he doesn’t have to do such a thing. ]

I don’t know what to say other than “I’m sorry.”

So... my name is Dextera.

[pursestrings]

[He's trying... he's got bite, and maybe he has bullied at least one child, but that was a phase!!]

yeah that'd be annoying
i'm okuyasu
nice poem i guess

[passio]

I’m glad you liked it. I hope you think of it the next time you’re sick.

[pursestrings]
