[ Nozomi will assume that Rory and Crystal have been going through the usual channels on the warp band, and while she isn't the best at filtering things, she will certainly give it a try. That being said, it's likely easy to crack, but that doesn't mean she is going to be entirely clear about what her intentions are with this posting. ]

I hope our guests aren't bothering too many people around here. I didn't go to Caldera when we got the first distress signal, so I can assume things with this Rory guy went all right. I don't hear too many people grumbling, and no matter where they're from, they tried to smooth things over with Gigas and Caldera. We should treat them the way only Unionites can.

[ The tone of voice insinuating that people should interpret that however they want. Noncommittal responses are the best. ]

I wanna urge people to be careful out there, especially with all the reports from the rangers coming in. I've been given permission to sell some of the Tenma family's famous protective wards and charms just in case, and I'll be offering readings free of charge for anyone planning on heading out there. I can't guarantee 100 percent success, but my fortunes never lie. They might help.

I don't see why not. Why? Who are you buying them for?

[nicocism]

...do I have to tell you for them to work?

[future_sight]

[ No. ]

Yes.

[nicocism]

[Grumble grumble stupid magic witch lady]

...it's for [mumble mumble mumble]

[future_sight]

Sorry, I didn't hear you. You're gonna have to try again.

[nicocism]

I, it's for Maki!

[GEEZ]

You can't tell her!

[future_sight]

Can't tell her you told me, or that you got them because you were worried about her?

[nicocism]

You can't tell her anything! Geez, what part of this don't you get!?

[future_sight]

It's okay, I won't ruin the surprise for you or her.

[nicocism]

Wh, what part of that is a surprise for me, huh!?

[future_sight]

I'm not gonna ruin it for you, that wouldn't be any fun.

[nicocism]

No, no, surprising me is what's going to ruin it.

[future_sight]

[ After a pause. ]

You should just tell her, you know.

[ That she was worried. Not what Nico was thinking. Nozomi would never tell her to tell Makki that, especially with her situation with Chie. ]

[nicocism]

[Of course that's how she takes it]

T, tell her what?

[Definitely not anything Nico might have told any stray cats recently.]

[future_sight]

[ You know what. That look she's giving Nico says it all. ]

[nicocism]

I, I'm not going to tell her that! Wh, what do you even know, huh?!

[future_sight]

You know what I know.

[ She's still not quite on the same wavelength, but then as far as Nico may be concerned, she could be talking about her ability to see the strings. Nicocchi remembers what those are, right~ ]

[nicocism]

....so, um.... you know about what that red string means then?

[IT'S HER DAMN POWER, NICO, OF COURSE SHE KNOWS WHAT IT MEANS]

[future_sight]

[ Wait, was that her hang-up right now?

Play it cool, Nozomi. You've got this. ]

Of course I do. Why?

[ Said the spider to the fly. ]

[nicocism]

I mean, like... so what... exactly would it mean, if you saw it between two people, huh?

[Trying (and failing) to play it cool...]

[future_sight]

It means that those two are tied together by the bonds of fate.

[nicocism]

In what way?

[future_sight]

[ Don't think she doesn't know who this is about. ]

That the two will be together for-ev-er~

[nicocism]

L, like, married!? In love?!

[future_sight]

It can definitely mean that. Why do you ask? Did you see something when you were in my body?
