That's the hope, yeah. We're the only ones that will be able to do it so.
[ It's all on them! But hmm... Looks around, where should they go? There's a bit to see in this lovely black and white world. Maybe only within the small village but... oh! ] Would you like to see the Favor Tree?
[ Looking inwards towards the village... Siffrin will point to the left! My ass sucks at east and west! Wait nvm wiki says it's to the West YIPPEE. ]
A Favor Tree is just the biggest tree in any given area, according to the House of Change. [ A shrug. They don't quite get it themselves but oh well. ] They say the tree is capable of granting wishes.
[ Realizes I think they're still holding hands. Leads along by the hand holdys. ]
Can't think of any of the top of my head, but it's the kind of thing people wish for in itself, isn't it? The idea that something could grant them anything they want.
[ A head tilt as they listen, a brief expression of confusion, but they can continue on in this grayscale world until they come up on a very large tree. Roots large enough to offer nice seating too. ]
I'll show you. First, you find a leaf. [ Looks around, goes to pluck up a leaf. It isn't real, it isn't really there, but Siffrin remembers the motions like the back of their hand. ] You think of a wish.
[ Takes a moment to think, looking up, before they blow into the leaf gently. ] You blow the wish into the leaf, repeat the wish three times - or, however many times you think feels best. Sometimes I do six, or even seven times.
Fold it closed, that way your wish is safely tucked inside. [ Gently, they fold the leaf closed, and then let the leaf go. ] ..Then you let it go, and the wind will take the wish to be granted.
Hm... well, traditions have a way of spreading, so it wouldn't surprise me too much. [a beat] Though I guess that only applies when it's the same world.
It's a little jarring getting used to the idea of other worlds, huh? Though, with how vast the Universe is, and with the stars and space...
[ Their words trail, staring off, and for a moment they don't say anything else. They blink after a moment, a brief look of confusion, before looking over and offering a smile. ]
There isn't much else to do here at the Favor Tree other than that. Not like we can interact with the dark and lightless birds here.
[ They are just regular looking birds. If just grayscale with no color. Hopping around and offering cute little "piou piou" chirps. ]
[he just sighs deeply and goes to look more closely at the birds, holding out his hand as though trying to get one to perch on it before he remembers that he can't interact with them.]
[ The birds hop closer, a pair of two, tilting their small heads with their rounded bodies fluffing up. But alas, not real, just movements Siffrin has remembered them doing before when he would encounter. Can't make Uru-chan a disney princess...
More cute little "piou piou" chirps!! Siffrin just watches him curiously. ]
[ Cute, Uruha can bird watch, Siffrin is so chill with just hanging out. They can do this until Uruha decides to eventually take his leave FREES US FROM THIS PC ]

I feel like there's a lot of myths out there about granting wishes...
no subject
Mm.. though, your wish can't really be granted unless you do the ritual properly.
no subject
What's the ritual?

... Ah. I thought it was going to be kind of like ema at first, but it's not. [...] It's an interesting ritual.
no subject
[ The only way to do it! Though, curiously looks over. ]
..."Ema"?
no subject
A custom where I'm from. You write your wish on a wooden plaque—that's the ema—and hang it up at a shrine for the gods to receive.
no subject
I think I heard something similar in Ka Bue. I only visited it once in my travels though... so I don't remember too much of my stay there.

but since siffrin is not voicing it, he will glance at the birds.]
Anything special about them? They look pretty normal to me.
no subject
A small laugh at that, shaking their head, though their lips curl a little cat-like. You know what's happening. ]
Nope. They're just normal birds. They go "peeou peeou." [ The birds chirp "piou piou." ] They're m-peck-able birds, aren't they?
