[I will put an actual voicemail here later and make it look cute rn just assume he has a very polite message!]

[ and when threatened, he gets sharper. this gets a huff of a laugh, with something sharp at the end. ]

Hmm~. That sounds like a challenge.

[cryovision]

I'd call it an encouragement. Your Master Firebug's been a little cagey about your relationship, so I have to be curious, but I certainly got the impression I'm in the lead.

[circuitice]

Ah, I see. Straight to the point, then. After running aground of his usual... reticence. I assure you, we're quite close, as I'd assume you are as well?

[cryovision]

We are now. But Noctua & I have had our issues. I'd tell you they were irrelevant, but unfortunately I must warn you that quite a few people know far too much about me here, thanks to the fairies. So if we really have a lot in common, it means they know too much about you.

1/2

[circuitice]

[ ah. ]

[circuitice]

[ and then he recovers. ]

That sounds... unfortunate. And if we really do have so much in common, then I can't imagine it would've been willing shared.

[ thanks, he hates it. ]

[cryovision]

As I said, fairies. They recently sent people wandering about in a few residents' hearts, mine included.

[circuitice]

Of course, fairies.

Though, I do appreciate the warning.

[cryovision]

I thought you would. And, after all, you are a version of me. I think we both know how ugly it could get for everyone if we can't get along.

[circuitice]

Oh? I suppose this was an... experiment on my part. After all, I was told you'd hate this by a certain bard.

And it wasn't as though I could ignore my own curiosity.

[cryovision]

Oh, I do hate it. And I do have to make a few threats, naturally. But I would think us wiser than to let animosity take root.

[circuitice]

Well, that's generous.

I can certainly agree to a certain degree of amicability. After all, you're very right that it'd be troublesome otherwise.

[cryovision]

And not even the fun kind of trouble! Truly an unpleasant prospect.

[Don't mind him just sitting on some convenient surface and crossing his legs.]

Onto the threats, though. As a formality.

I don't expect you'll do it without reason or fairy compulsion, but if you harm Master Noctua I will make your life a living hell as only I could. And I'd prefer you be kind to the rest of Sorbet, and to that bard.

[circuitice]

So you truly did have your differences with our dear brother, that the thought would even cross your mind.

[ will he explain? no. will he stick up for anyone besides keke? also no. ]

Perhaps the wrong one of us is issuing threats.

[cryovision]

Oh, feel free to counter-threaten. With people like us, we should appreciate a rare time for honesty.

[circuitice]

Then, it should go without saying.

If you hurt Keke, then I'll have no choice but destroy you.

[ he gestures airily ]

So, now that that that is out of the way...

[cryovision]

Thank you for indulging in the diversion. Is there anything you'd like to ask about this whole thing?

[circuitice]

[ does he expect that another him would answer truthfully or completely, even if he did ask sincerely?

no. ]

What sights would you recommend I see first?

[cryovision]

[Of course a version of himself wouldn't trust him! He doesn't trust his double either, so he won't comment.]

Oh, looking for date spots? Hmm... Well, there's a very romantic ferris wheel and a nice garden. We just revealed some new territory, too, but I haven't had a chance to explore yet. I was thinking of cashing in on a date IOU myself for that one...

[circuitice]

Ah yes, the one with Zephyr, I presume.

[cryovision]

Did he mention it? How typical of him.

[circuitice]

It was the first thing he mentioned, yes.

[cryovision]

Let me guess. He thought you were me emerging from a scandalous midnight rendezvous.

[circuitice]

He did.

Not the most unreasonable guess, given what I know about this place.

[cryovision]

It's certainly encouraging to those inclined to chase base pleasures... Which, I shan't deny, I am.

The uncertain availability of alcohol has been somewhat frustrating, though.
