If you end up with magical powers but you don't ever use them, except maybe on accident, that's not violating the Jewish prohibition on casting magic, right? It's fine, right?

[holeful]

Haha, I totally get that feeling! But I wouldn't hurt to try!

[accidentallich]

Do you really think someone would make a film like that? It seems pretty niche...

[holeful]

I don't really know anything about making movies but if we could figure out how, I think it would be cool to do?

[accidentallich]

It does sound nice. Better representation for skeletons in the media, or something like that, nu.

[holeful]

Yeah!! Especially because you seem nice.

I can look into it. But we'll need other people's help too... I don't know that many people here.

[accidentallich]

Thank you.

I know a few people, but I don't want to be a bother...

[holeful]

I think miss Grell would make a good leading lady, but I don't know if she would be interested. At least not until I remember who she is.

[accidentallich]

I haven't met her, but that does sound complicated...

[holeful]

It's not so bad. It sounds like I should remember her in May? And then we can get married.

[You know. A normal escalation of things.]

[accidentallich]

Forgive my rudeness, but you seem pretty comfortable with the idea of marrying someone you don't remember??

[holeful]

Ah, sorry, maybe I didn't explain properly? It seems we were both somewhere else besides our home before we were here, and while we were there we started dating and then got engaged. Grell remembers all of it already, since she's been here longer than me.

Even though I don't remember her... Well, there's a distant feeling of familiarity? I can believe I fell in love with her before.

[accidentallich]

Oh, I see. That's a little romantic, in a way. A love so strong even getting rid of your memories can't erase it.

[holeful]

Right? That's what I think too. I'm really lucky.

But ah, I just realized I didn't introduce myself. I'm Fukuda.

[accidentallich]

Gershom Alter. Nice to meet you.

[holeful]

Yeah! Though knowing you're a skeleton now I'm excited to properly meet you in person.

[accidentallich]

Oh, well, we can hang out sometime if you want?

[holeful]

[SKELETON FRIEND SKELETON FRIEND.]

Yeah! What kind of things do you like to do?

[accidentallich]

I like to read a lot, and I like to pet cats. It's a shame the cat cafe hasn't been invented yet, I think.

[holeful]

That is a shame... But you've been to the library, right? I've been spending a lot of time there. I like to read as well.

[accidentallich]

Oh, yes. The library and the local bookstores.

[holeful]

What's your favorite genre to read?

[accidentallich]

I have to choose just one?

Poetry, I think.

[holeful]

Oh! I can't say I know much about that, I read more fiction myself, but that's cool. You have to have a particular sort of mind for that.

[accidentallich]

I used to write poetry myself, a long time ago. Before I became a skeleton.

[holeful]

Why'd you stop?
