week 3, tuesday

[ second day in, and alex is back in the village... still looking at the animals in the pens. specifically the sheep -- one of which she is trying incredibly hard to coax over so she can pet it.

it's... not going amazingly well for her, honestly. ]

Come on... how do you even call a sheep anyway, it's not like a cat...

[ ... ]

Heerrre sheepy, sheepy....

[ this is just embarrassing, sorry you have to see this mob. ]

[exercisms]

[Oh, he understands. He'll stand near her and call the sheep, too.]

Here, Mr. Sheep!

[chanteuser]

[ -- oh! Well. This is a little awkward. Especially when one of the sheep just immediately nyooms over to Mob for pets. ]

Hello there. You seem to have more of a talent for this than I do.

[exercisms]

I do?

[He's so happy! Petting Mr. Sheep, but then looking at his hand.]

Oh, right.

[chanteuser]

It wasn't listening to me, I know that much.

[ she lifts a hand to sneak in a gentle pet or two. sheep soft. sheep good. ]

... Hm? You okay?

[exercisms]

I can't feel their fur.

[Sad.]

[chanteuser]

[ mob that might genuinely be the worst thing she's heard today. ]

Oh no, your senses...?

[ she stops petting the sheep and turns to him, holding out her hand. ] Here, take my hand. See if you can feel it?

[exercisms]

[Taking her hand!]

No, I can't feel anything.

[chanteuser]

... It's all or nothing with this place, huh? At least this isn't giving us an electric shock this week.

[exercisms]

Oh, right, the shocks.

[He's really not a touchy person, so all he noticed was fewer people ruffling his hair randomly in the middle of conversations.]

Well, it's fine. I bet Mr. Sheep still likes being pet.

[chanteuser]

Mm. That wasn't the most fun I've had since we've been here. It's... probably better now it's stopped.

[ she will immediately go back to petting that sheep though, now the lack of touch has been established. ]

Now that it's over here, it seems pretty happy with things, yeah.

[exercisms]

I'm sorry. Did you get shocked a lot?

[She seems friendly, at least. So she probably likes touching people.]

I got shocked when Lup-san wanted me to put on a pirate outfit, and when I tried to punch Alphonse-san.

[chanteuser]

A few times. It's a bit difficult to remember that you can't even do something like tweak a person's outfit without hurting them... but the whole "hurting them" part's something you want to avoid.

[ it's a bit catch-22 ]

...

You tried to punch Alphonse? [ wait ] He's all metal!
