[ where are you right now? are you simply wandering around the island in no particular place? well, for those near the beach you can find a small calico cat who seems rather skittish and may be running away from a dog. fortunately, the dog doesn't seem to be chasing after the cat with any bloodlust but more like following her around? what is happening here?

or maybe you are having a meal when this small calico walks up to you and meows exactly once before sitting politely at your feet. or maybe you're just somewhere on the island in general when you stumble upon her. ]

[ because i refuse to believe that there is not a single bench on this entire island, uta will be outside sitting on one of them while flipping through a book with a title that seems... questionable or exciting depending on your taste in reading material. for uta, however, she'll questioning the novel she received with the proud title of My Boyfriend Is The One Except He’s A Lizard And Father Doesn’t Approve on its cover and spine. can't forget what you're reading, after all.

why is she reading this book outside where god and everyone can see her questionable taste? simple. if she must suffer, she will not go down alone—would be the answer if she was petty. the truth is that she's hoping to pawn it off to someone (anyone) else who finds the faintest interest in it. ]

ɪ'ᴠᴇ ɢᴏᴛ ᴀ sᴇᴄʀᴇᴛ ɪ ᴄᴀɴ'ᴛ ᴛᴇʟʟ ʏᴏᴜ.

[ since it has been a bit since they've all arrived, uta will be checking out the boutique's offerings to see if she can't find something to change up her wardrobe. farmcore has never been her thing, but wearing an all-white dress with a short skirt is definitely not practical. that said, she will be posing in front of a mirror in some new clothes which still aren't great for farming before going to change into something else that is a lot more reasonable.

perhaps it's interesting that regardless whatever she is trying on, she'll have a particular straw hat on her head in exchange for the headphones. ]

ʙ-ɪ-ɴ-ɢ-ᴏ!

... yeah that's usually the definition of a celebrity. "I suppose".

[ pfft. ]

Not necessarily a BIG city, but bigger than this little town. Then again, I've been to some places about as small as this one. It's been varied. [ ... ah. ] Nope. It had a church, and the military academy was based there, but no windmills. Why, you a fan?

[tot]

[ look. ]

It is, isn't it? I just think celebrities are a bit more flashy compared to me.

[ you know, since she really only interacted with people through streams and the like. it's not as though she was in the same space with them until very recently. ]

Oh, nothing. It's just that the last time I was in a village like the one you described it had windmills. [ hmm.... ] I've been to a lot of places but I've never spent too much time in any of them.

[chevaliered]

I know some people I’d call “celebrities” and some of them were just popular at school. [ and war heroes. or divine knight pilots. it’s fine. ] Fame’s a weird thing, huh?

[ she was a one piece streamer celebrity…. ]

Some of them do, y’know? It just depends on the villages. Sometimes grain’s what a town’s known for. [ he tilts his head. ] Traveler rather than someone who settles then?

[tot]

I've only heard stories about those sort of things since I never attended school myself. It sounds like it would be very tough.

[ gazes. she sure is a one piece streamer celeb. an ""e girl"" as it were. i also bet someone in the one piece world would drink her bath water. frowns deeply. ]

Or sometimes it's an island known for music? [ she says with a bit of a laugh. her tone a bit wistful when she continues. ] I used to travel a lot when I was younger, but then I decided to stay somewhere to pursue a different dream.

[chevaliered]

Oh, well there’s one here. If you run into a guy called Rean, consider it an exercise in observing a school celebrity in the wild. Women love him, men love him and also want to be him, what a dish, what a guy.

[ rean might just kill him. ]

Oh? So you… travelled until you found a dream and settled down?

[tot]

Is that right? [ let rean kill crow and suddenly this becomes a murder game. we're all waiting for it. ] What makes him so special that it makes him that popular? Did he do something?

[ and ah. her smile will falter for a moment before she perks right back up. nothing to worry about here. ]

I found a different dream. [ not that she abandoned her other dream, exactly. just sometimes things and that happen. ] Or, maybe, it's better said that I found a dream that was better suited for what I wanted. Traveling would have made it harder on me.

[chevaliered]

[ murdergame go. honestly if anyone has the right to murder crow it’s rean ]

Some people just are, y’know? The say they right thing, do the right thing, but it’s not forced. It’s just who they are. It’s like some kind of special talent.

[ yeah this seems fine. ]

There’s something to be said for being flexible to get what you want.

[tot]

[ wipes a tear from eye. perish crow. you lived as you died. stinky (probably) ]

Oh. Those sort of people. [ she'll have a small smile creep up on her face. ] I know a few people like that. I wouldn't call them celebrities but I guess some of them are pretty infamous.

[ and it'll stay soft for this as well. ]

Right? Though, there are still things that you shouldn't give up!

[chevaliered]

[ stinky. ]

Celebrity can mean a lot of things, y’know? Local celebrity is just someone well known and well liked.

[ hmmm. ]

Oh? What are you not giving up on?

[tot]

[ so stinky. ]

I didn't realize that there could be so many different types of celebrity. The only kind that I've ever been familiar with are the ones who are known world-wide. It sounds like it might have been kind of fun to have something like that.

[ imagine what it would be like to grow up in a situation where something like that seems novel, right? but that gets put to the sidelines as uta proudly gives her answer. ]

That there should be a world where people don't have to suffer and can be happy. No matter what, I'm going to keep believing that it can happen.

[chevaliered]

Eh. I think it’s probably teasing, but you get big time and small time celebrities. All sorts, y’know? You’ve gotta have your big heroes and your little ones.

[ hmmm. ]

… That’s a pretty big dream to have.

[tot]

So, I'm learning. I don't have experience with anything else but big heroes; I didn't stay anywhere long enough to learn about little ones.

[ though you could say that her big hero was also the same to her as a little hero? hm. ]

Do you think so? The size of it doesn't matter to me or how I know that there's no such thing as equality or fairness in this world. If I can bring a smile to someone's face and make them happy then that's another step in the right direction.

[chevaliered]

You’ve got none where you’re from?

[ hm? ]

So… a dream you know you can’t achieve, but hope to try for just in case you miss and hit the stars. [ aiming for a bigger, near impossible dream and hoping for a positive even if you can’t achieve the scope of what you waned. ]

[tot]

No, not where I grew up.

[ it's fine? ]

Yes, exactly. [ a small nod and she'll hold onto one of her wrists with her other hand. ] I know it's not something that can be forced onto everyone but that's why people can take steps instead of needing to leap ahead.

[chevaliered]

Maybe you’ll find one or two here?

[ crescentview local celebrities… ]

Yeah. Not everyone can have ideals forced on them, but we follow what we want anyway.

[tot]

[ WEREN'T THEY SUPPOSED TO GO GET A MEAL IN THIS THREAD? looks into camera. ]

Would you consider the Harvest Goddess as a local celebrity? Everyone here seems to know her.

[ anyway, teleports them to the front of the tavern where she'll maintain her small smile. ]

That's right, but I trust that most people don't want bad things to happen to others around them. Stranger or no.

[chevaliered]

[ it's too late now... it's january. ]

If she is then I managed to piss off the local celebrity, which is kinda funny.

[ well done crow. ]

... That's a pretty good outlook to have. You should hold on to that.

[tot]

[ :yell: IT IS NOT. ]

Even if you've managed to make her angry; it doesn't mean you can't make it up to her later somehow.

[ unless he keeps pissing her off then there's no one else but you to blame here. ...except then to hope that the lowest denominator (owen) keeps making her even more angry. ]

Don't you worry; I will. No matter what. [ firmly stated as she makes her way inside with every expectation of him following her. THIS WAS THE INTENTION. ] So, what kind of food do you hope that they'll have inside?

[chevaliered]

If she holds a grudge, then I'm shit outta luck.

[ does god hold a grudge? answers on a postcard. ]

I'm a fish fan. And we are by a beach, sooooo... you think they do seafood specials?

[tot]

I guess there's only one way to find out whether she does or doesn't.

[ smashcut to how petty she can be if not one to hold a grudge... ]

It would make sense for them to—something like a "catch-of-the-day". That's a common promotion that's offered, isn't it?

[ spoken like a person who really doesn't understand how certain things work in this world. rather, is aware of things but at the same time..? ]
