I am~ Want to see it in action? Never took you as the type to cause mischief.

[applechemist]

I try to avoid it.

[ ......... ]

But I would like to see it.

[shortfornow]

You try to avoid it but also want to see it. I suppose I should actually pick a target then.

[applechemist]

[ Well... It's a harmless prank, after all!!! Don't judge! ]

You didn't already have someone in mind?

[shortfornow]

I had a few. Chuuya would probably punch me and I want to avoid that. I could probably get Wei Wuxian, but I'm already planning on something else for him.

Ah, maybe I can get Akira.

[applechemist]

Akira seems like he would take it well.

[ ... ]

What were you going to do to Wei Wuxian?

[shortfornow]

I'm waking him up early tomorrow. Ah, that's right. You know him from the ship.

[applechemist]

[ She nods, but then? Tilts her head? ]

That's it? Just waking him up early?

[shortfornow]

That's it.

[ It'll just be a rude awakening. ]

[applechemist]

[ Well. At least we know he's not a very menacing prankster. ]

I... See. Well, I bet he won't like that.

[shortfornow]

[ Hes just........... a litle creacher.]

He probably won't, but maybe I'll get him on a normal sleeping schedule.

[ Maybe there won't be any weird crunching at midnight ]

[applechemist]

Has he been staying up late? That's no good...

[shortfornow]

Staying up is one of many crimes. You should see how bad his bunk looks.

[applechemist]

W-well... It's fine to be a little messy in your own bunk, right?

[shortfornow]

He left wrappers, half eaten snacks, and a bunch of other stuff up there. I don't even know how he has room to sleep.

[applechemist]

Half eaten? What a waste!

[ ........ ]

[shortfornow]

Half eaten. I don't know if he throws anything out, so there could be opened snacks growing stuff already.

[applechemist]

I can't forgive wasting perfectly good snacks like that...!

[shortfornow]

Maybe if you make a sad face at him, it'll make him want to change his ways.

[ Then again it's WWX. Can he change his ways?

And now to get to the other topic...]

If you did kill Yu, I'm assuming it was likely an accident.

[applechemist]

[ Wow and they were having such a nice chat. Her expression falls. ]

I didn't do it.

[shortfornow]

[ Looking at her before nodding. ]

Alright.

[ And with that, he'll go back to picking some more flowers. ]

Do you know how long flowers last before they start wilting?

[applechemist]

[ She doubts it was that easy to convince him, but she's more than happy to drop the subject... ]

It varies a little bit, but they're going to start wilting right away if they aren't put in a vase with water. [ So, in a bouquet, not long. ] They probably have a couple hours of looking fresh, though.

[shortfornow]

I'll grab a pitcher from the kitchen. I'm sure he'll be busy the rest of the day, so we can wait until tomorrow to strike.

[applechemist]

[ Escha nods. ]

Good thinking.

[shortfornow]

Tomorrow then. I'll come find you before giving him the flowers.
