[ She nods. No suspicious gaps in her memory here. ]

I just kind of lived my life, and then one day while I was having a day out with my parents, I somehow ended up in this place instead. I guess that was quite a while ago, since I've already been here for a while now.. But nothing about that sounds weird.

[ssmisery]

[Crud, there that is again, and now it's a lot harder to laugh off. Any remaining mirth has dripped away and now Lapis is just hella awkward. Maybe that's the kicker if this really is an event, making everyone suffer through uncomfortable social situations.]

So, uh... if I said that's pretty different from what you've told me before... would you freak out?

[entreats]

[ Ange raises an eyebrow. ]

I.. guess that depends on how different? [ There's definitely a small pause there after the "I", since this whole situation is pretty weird. Even by Wonderland standards. It's already making Ange think on what exactly they remember differently.

On the upside, Ange doesn't seem to be freaking out at the very mention of this, at least. (Yet?) ]

[ssmisery]

[Lapis hesitates, grimaces, then makes a sharp little exhale. She doesn't wanna. And they don't really need to discuss the specifics, do they? The point is made. Ugh.]

Pretty different! Man, if this is the event, I don't know if I even want to know what it is. There's nothing weird about me, is there?

[entreats]

[ That reaction sure makes her curious as to just what specifics Lapis knows that she doesn't, but Ange is also smart enough to realise that discussing those specifics is probably both awkward and just useless. If this is an event, after all, she should be returning back to normal soon enough...

Whatever that "normal" apparently is. The implications don't exactly make her excited for it. ]

I'm not sure. [ So instead she just answers Lapis' question, although it sounds like she has to think about it. ] You kind of seem in a better mood than usually? But I'm not sure if it's because anything has changed or you're just having a good day.

[ssmisery]

[Well, at least that's mild, but Lapis doesn't want to have to contemplate the possibility that she's been changed. And she REALLY doesn't want to contemplate whether she might have a change comparable to what she remembers about Ange. Dammit, didn't Wonderland just have an event like that a couple months ago already?

She throws her hands up.]

Ugh, whatever. It's not like we could do anything about it anyway. Maybe we SHOULD just go play board games or something!

[entreats]

...

[ She seems to be in thought for a moment, but then Ange nods. ]

Do you feel up for it? Somehow I really feel like playing some now. [ If not just to keep her mind off whatever she might be changing into later - or changing back into, really. But to this Ange both of those things feel the same right now, considering she has no idea what she used to be like.

So yes, she's 100% serious about that suggestion. ]

[ssmisery]

You know more about it than I do. I mean, no promises, but why not!

[There is always the chance she'll feel the need to start changing the rules again, but that's just part of the package. The important thing is they might as well do something instead of standing around being bothered by weird uncomfortable existential notions.]
