Ahriman: This is supposed to be tea?
Rory: Yup.
Tumblr media
Ahriman: But all these options sound awfully sweet.
Rory: It's bubble tea. It's supposed to be sweet.
Tumblr media
Ahriman. Bubble…
Lou: Tapioca starch balls, not actual bubbles.
Tumblr media
Lou: At least give it a try.
Ahriman: Okay, fine, I'll try it.
Tumblr media
Ahriman: But I will hate you two if I hate the tea.
Tumblr media
Ahriman: I'm supposed to drink tea through a straw?
Lou: Weren't you talking about table manners earlier?
Tumblr media
Ahriman: How is using a straw for tea good table manners? Sometimes this universe doesn't make any sense.
Rory: It's Lou, not the universe.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ahriman: Hm. Odd taste.
Tumblr media
Lou: I'm exhausted.
Rory: Maybe it's time to go home. Are you coming with us?
Tumblr media
Ahriman: Spellcasters don't need much sleep, and there's a whole day left of this event, so I'll stay for a bit, since I'm already here.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ahriman: Ooh, they have real tea here.
Tumblr media
Ahriman: Hi, I'd like some ginseng tea, please.
Tumblr media
Ahriman: Odd cup, but okay.
Tumblr media
Ahriman: At least it tastes like tea.

Beren: Do you think they have something without meat?
Ned: As long as you don't go to the stall that only sells fish dishes.
Melon: I will go find somewhere for us to sit.
Tumblr media
Beren: Ooh, they have avocado maki!
Liberty: Ned, don't wander off too far.
Ned: I'm just going to the fish stall, it's like right here.
Tumblr media
Beren: I'm so glad that Morgan introduced me to sushi.
Tumblr media
Liberty: You hadn't had sushi before you knew Morgan? Didn't you say earlier that you're half Komorebijin?
Beren: Only genetically.
Tumblr media
Beren: I was sheltered from anything Komorebi, for probably no reason whatsoever.
Tumblr media
Melon: Do you want me to make sushi for you some time?
Beren: I always feel a little embarrassed when you cook for me, since you can't join in on the meal.
Melon: But I enjoy cooking for you.
Tumblr media
Ned: You're having ice cream for dinner?
Tumblr media
Liberty: I'm an adult, I can eat whatever I want.
Tumblr media
Liberty: And it matches my earrings.
Tumblr media
Lou: I hope they have meat!
Tumblr media
Ahriman: I hope they don't.
Tumblr media
Lou: But meat is life!
Tumblr media
Ahriman: It's literally the opposite.
Tumblr media
Ahriman: Why couldn't you have ordered something meat-free? It wouldn't hurt you to eat something green every once in a while. Such as avocado maki.
Tumblr media
Rory: We're sensitive to persin, and there's persin in avocado.
Lou: We have quite a lot of allergies, due to being, you know…
Tumblr media
Ahriman: I really need a cup of tea after seeing you not only eat cow, but also not having any table manners whatsoever.
Rory: What do you mean? I'm using a fork.
Ahriman: Please don't talk with food in your mouth.

Ned: He's such a hypocrite sometimes.
Liberty: Should we pretend that we don't know him?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ahriman: It's so strange to sit this close to a movie and watch it on this tiny screen.
Lou: What? How did you watch movies in your original universe?
Ahriman: Movie theatre. They put a roll of film in a projector and projected it on a fabric screen. You don't have that?
Tumblr media
Ahriman: What kind of brainless humour is this?
Lou: It's hilarious!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media

Larry: WOOO!
Beren: Plummit Larry.

Ahriman: I don't find it fun. I don't even know what I'm doing.

Ned: Are you wearing contacts today?
Beren: Nope.
Tumblr media
Ned: Aren't your glasses quite strong?
Beren: Yup.
Tumblr media
Ned: Can you see anything?
Beren: Not really, no.
Tumblr media
Ned: Just put them on.
Beren: But Waluigi doesn't have glasses.
Ned: Just put them on.
Tumblr media
Ned: It's a shame that bots can't cosplay, I hope you don't feel left out.
Eve and Kodex: But we are cosplaying!
Ned: You are? So who are you then?
Tumblr media
Eve: I am Eve.
Tumblr media
Ned: *Awkward smile*
Tumblr media
Eve: From Wall-E.
Ned: Ooooh… That makes sense. And that explains your eye colour.
Tumblr media
Melon: Since I am cosplaying a watermelon, could you keep me away from Komorebijin, sticks, and beaches. I have heard about suikawari.
Beren: Did you know that I'm half Komorebijin?
Melon: I did not.
Beren: I wasn't brought up in Komorebi, so just genetically.
Tumblr media
Ned: What about you, Kodex, what are you cosplaying as?
Kodex: I'm blue.
Liberty: 🎶 Daba dee daba di… 🎶

Liberty: Don't worry, we're used to you doing that.
Beren: Sorry… But I get easily embarrassed.
Tumblr media
Eve: Kodex, do you want to check out the observatory?
Kodex: Sure.
Ned: Are you leaving us?
Tumblr media
Kodex: Yes. We are going to hang out just the two of us, we just wanted to come say hi first.
Ned: Okay, have fun!
Tumblr media
Liberty: Let's get going, two days of fun are ahead of us.

Rory: How does he always manage to find a bar?
Lou: I didn't even know they had a bar here.
Tumblr media
Ahriman: Took you long enough.
Rory: Nice to see you too.
Tumblr media
Ahriman: Why are you wearing that? You once told me that you never wear clothes like that around sims.
Tumblr media
Rory: A lot of people wear costumes to GeekCon, no one will question it.
Lou: I wanted to go in our wolf forms, but Rory said that people might poke our "costumes".
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lou: How did you get the nectar? I thought bartenders locked up the drinks when leaving.
Tumblr media
Ahriman: I Burgliated it.
Tumblr media
Lou: They sell nerd stuff over here.
Rory: They sell "nerd stuff" all over this place.
Tumblr media
Ahriman: Is this supposed to be a joke? Because even I think this is too offensive to be funny.
Rory: Sorry, I forgot to warn you.
Tumblr media
Rory: I hope you don't feel too offended.
Ahriman: This would likely be considered agitation against population group in my original universe.
Tumblr media
Lou: It will grow on you.
Ahriman: Lou, please just shut up sometimes will you?
Tumblr media
Ahriman: I also noticed the table on my right.
Rory: Yeah, we have to deal with this a lot.
Ahriman: How do you deal with it? Eat people? Because I have an urge to Inferniate this whole place right now.
Tumblr media
Ahriman: Are those supposed to be amulets?
Tumblr media
Ahriman: Those shapes wouldn't even work on an alchemical level. Even a high-school werewolf would know that in my original universe.
Tumblr media
Rory: Don't you mean "chemical"?
Tumblr media
Ahriman: They threw away the "al"?

Cassandra: Aren't we only doing repairs today? Did someone order a robo-arm?
Tumblr media
Kristy: Nah, I just thought it was good to have one ready if needed.
Tumblr media
Cassandra: I'm telling you, you're jinxing it.
Tumblr media
Kristy: I still don't believe in jinxing, and it's still good to have one ready.
Tumblr media
Cameron: Huh?
Tumblr media
Beren: Not a word. It's just for GeekCon cosplay.
Tumblr media
Cameron: Snrk…
Tumblr media
Cameron: I'm so sorry, but you look ridiculous!
Tumblr media
Cameron: I think I know what you're gonna cosplay as.
Beren: I know what you're thinking.
Tumblr media
Beren: But think more purple.
Cameron: Purple? I guess I'm off the mark then. Don't say it, I want to try to figure this out myself.
Tumblr media
Beren: Are you coming to GeekCon?
Cameron: Yeah, but I won't hang out with you and company, I'm going with Daisy.
Beren: Daisy?
Tumblr media
Cameron: One of Kristy's roomies.
Beren: "One of Kristy's roomies", mhm…
Tumblr media
Cameron: Okay, fine, we're woohoo-partners, or something like that.
Tumblr media
Cameron: We actually woohooed one time during our first year. I indirectly mentioned her before.
Tumblr media
Beren: Wait… Is she the one you "soiled" the showers with?
Tumblr media
Cameron: I told you we were using protection.
Beren: I should stop asking questions that I don't even want the answer to.

Lou: Rory! Ahriman!
Tumblr media
Lou: I just got a great idea!
Rory: Did you come up with it in your were form or wolf form?
Tumblr media
Lou: Why would that matter?
Rory: Um…
Tumblr media
Ahriman: Because you always come up with the most stupid ideas when you're in your were form.
Tumblr media
Rory: Alright, what's your idea?
Lou: We take Ahriman to GeekCon.
Ahriman: And what's GeekCon?
Tumblr media
Lou: A convention with geeky activities.
Ahriman: And why should I go to GeekCon?
Rory: So that you can learn about fiction and pop culture of this universe.
Tumblr media
Lou: So, what do you say?
Rory: It's actually not a dumb idea. Let's do it.
Lou: This year it's by the old observatory, so it's much bigger than usual.
Tumblr media
Ahriman: Do I have a say in this?
Rory: You don't want to learn more about this world?
Ahriman: Okay, you got me.

Beren: I can't believe I'm doing this. It's so ugly.
Tumblr media
Beren: Hey. I don't want to go outdoors with this silly moustache. Should I just shave it off and try to figure out some other cosplay?
Tumblr media
Melon: It will grow on you.
Beren: Very funny.
Tumblr media
Melon: It is not like you are doing the cosplay to look good, right? And the moustache will look better in a few days.
Beren: Better, sure, but it will still be ugly. Facial hair just doesn't suit me.
Tumblr media
Beren: I wish GeekCon wasn't so soon.
Ned: I thought you had everything ready.
Tumblr media
Beren: I'm referring to the moustache. I have a strong urge to put a bag over my head or not come to campus at all.
Tumblr media
Ned: I've seen worse.
Tumblr media
Beren: That doesn't make this one look any better.
Tumblr media
Liberty: I like that you're so dedicated to the cosplay.
Beren: Right now I wish I wasn't.
Liberty: Understandable.
Tumblr media
Ned: Do you think I would look good in a moustache? I want to try it some day.
Beren: At least go for a moustache and a beard. Barely anyone looks good in only one or the other.
Tumblr media
Ned: Can't be that bad.
Tumblr media
Beren: You're not even into beards. Just trust me.
Tumblr media
Liberty: I'm still curious about what you'll go as.
Beren: Sorry, won't tell you.
Ned: All right then. Keep your secrets.
Tumblr media
Summer: Are you sure about this?
Liberty: It will grow on me.
Summer: Don't you mean "It will grow out"?
Liberty: I was trying to be punny.

Ned: I just remembered that we were talking about cosplaying together at this year's GeekCon.

Liberty: How about we go as Alienbusters!
Ned: I like that idea.
Tumblr media
Ned: What do you think, Beren?
Beren: I have no idea about what that is.
Tumblr media
Liberty: Maybe we should pick something else then.
Ned: You're right.
Tumblr media
Beren: It's fine, we don't have to do the same thing. You two can be Alienbusters and I'll just be something else.
Tumblr media
Liberty: Dibs on purple coveralls.
Tumblr media
Nova: I overheard our study neighbours talking about GeekCon. Should we go too?
Lewis: Sounds like fun!
Tumblr media
Nova: How about we bring my cousin?
Tumblr media
Lewis: Are you out of your mind!? Risk his safety for some fun!?
Nova: Come on, it's GeekCon, no one would question it.
Tumblr media
Nova: He needs to get out sometimes.
Tumblr media
Lewis: But people will be curious about his looks and ask him a bunch of questions. He's not used to people, he wouldn't know how to handle it.
Tumblr media
Nova: We could bring my dad and uncles.
Tumblr media
Lewis: Yeah, because those three are sooo used to people.

Julia: When you said study group I didn't expect these many people.
Tumblr media
Kit: Study Group, woo!
Daisy: How is everything always "woo" with you?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Becca: The more, the merrier.
Tumblr media
Julia: I feel like I really recognise you. Have we met?
Tumblr media
Emiko: Yes, I'm one of Grace's-
Tumblr media
Julia: Oh! Wait! I've seen you with Valeria.
Tumblr media
Emiko: Not what I was about to say, but you know Valeria? She's my best friend.
Julia: We're in the same organisation.
Tumblr media
Emiko: Oh, the Gardening Club?
Rose: Sounds like something I'd enjoy.
Tumblr media
Julia: Gardening?-
Tumblr media
Kit: Yes! Exactly! The Gardening Club!
Tumblr media
Emiko: What kind of reaction is that?
Kit: Oh, er…
Rose: They're probably a secret society pretending to be a gardening club. Classic. Just leave it.
Tumblr media
Julia: What does is say on that board?
Becca: It's just some information about the third year students' graduation.
Tumblr media
Becca: Wait… Do you need glasses?
Tumblr media
Julia: Maybe…
Tumblr media
Becca: Maybe you should go have a check at the optician.
Julia: But I don't think glasses would suit me.
Becca: Use contacts then.
Julia: They seem scary.
Tumblr media
Becca: Why do you think glasses wouldn't suit you?
Tumblr media
Julia: I feel like I'd look old.
Tumblr media
Becca: Would it feel better if I wore my glasses more often, instead of contacts?
Julia: Maybe…
Tumblr media
Becca: I could also go with you to the optician, if it's scary.
Julia: Sure.
Tumblr media
Kasen: Can I join? I need glasses too, but I've been putting it off.
Emiko: Same here…
Tumblr media
Becca: Let's go all four of us!
Kasen: Awesome.
Tumblr media
Becca: I should probably check my eyes too anyway.
Author's note: I won't play the visit at the optician, seems kinda boring to play tbh 😂 So, next time Julia, Becca, Kasen, and Emiko appear they'll wear glasses. Btw, this was the last time Julia wore this outfit in my story, it's time to retire it.

Minerva: Well, I guess this means that we'll soon lose our powers.
Lyman: I hope we'll remember each other.
Minerva: Our memories of magic will fade away very slowly, so that shouldn't be a problem, but eventually we won't remember how we met.
Simeon: Minerva… The children's-
Tumblr media
Minerva: Their parents were in Casters Alley, that island crumbled first, I doubt they made it to any portal. Lyman and I can take the children to Britechester. You should go and inform the spellcasters who weren't in The Realm today, before you can't Transportalate anymore.
Tumblr media
Simeon: Before we go we should pay a tribute to the ones we lost.
Tumblr media
Lyman: Do we have time for that?
Minerva: Simeon is right, and we should do it while we can still use magic.
Tumblr media
Simeon: Minerva, should you or I-
Minerva: I'll represent Untamed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lyman: Well… Time to say goodbye to Glimmerbrook.

Tumblr media
Ahriman: There are only three houses in Glimmerbrook, mine and two that look like they've been abandoned for ages.
Tumblr media
Rory: Who lived in this house in your original universe?
Ahriman: Just a… woohoo partner.
Lou: That's rough, buddy.
Tumblr media
Rory: So, old houses covered in cracks and cobwebs, overgrown lawns, the whole place is off the electrical grid, and no reception.
Tumblr media
Rory: How come you get our texts though?
Tumblr media
Ahriman: As a spellcaster, I'm connected to a pocket dimension, and those exist everywhere at once, so my phone probably gets reception from everywhere. I also get my magical powers from my old universe via my pocket dimension.
Lou: Hmm…
Tumblr media
Lou: Hmmmmmm……
Tumblr media
Rory: Sorry that I changed the subject. Maybe you wanted to talk about your woohoo partner?
Ahriman: I'd prefer not to.
Lou: Hey, Ahriman.
Tumblr media
Lou: Why's the tall grass only here? Why isn't the whole place covered in tall grass?
Ahriman: The short "grass" is mostly moss and wood sorrel. The tall grass doesn't spread very well, it stays in one place, and its length would usually be kept in check with magic.
Tumblr media
Rory: Wow, this portal is huge.
Ahriman: It's for accessibility.
Tumblr media
Rory: Have you figured out why there's a portal here when there aren't any spellcasters in this universe?
Ahriman: I think I have…
Tumblr media
Ahriman: ... and I don't want to think too much about it,...
Tumblr media
Ahriman: ... but I paid them a tribute a while back.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rory: Should you really live here if it reminds you so much of your past?
Tumblr media
Ahriman: Please, if there's something that reminds me of my past, it's you two. You look exactly the same as in my original universe.

Tumblr media
Eve: Look, I have noticed that you are not as playful and happy as you used to be, and I noticed that you really wanted us to change the conversation topic yesterday.
Tumblr media
Eve: You are not entirely happy with our relationship, right?
Kodex: What?
Tumblr media
Eve: You want a partner who you can woohoo with.
Tumblr media
Kodex: Ugh, you are right. But I love you a lot. I have to just accept that woohoo is not an option for me.
Tumblr media
Eve: Maybe we could try it some time.
Tumblr media
Kodex: What? No. You should not do something you do not want to do.
Tumblr media
Eve: I know, but I have heard that even people who are not into woohoo can consent to it.
Tumblr media
Kodex: Do you have a reason to consent? Except for trying to make me happy.
Tumblr media
Eve: I guess not.
Tumblr media
Kodex: It would not make me happy if it was not genuine.
Tumblr media
Kodex: I wish things like these were easy.
Eve: Me too. But maybe we can figure something out.
Kodex: I doubt it.
Eve: We could ask someone for advice. We cannot be the first ones with this problem.

Beren: Hey.
Melon: Welcome home.
Beren: I know this might sound weird, but I have to kinda ask you for permission for something.
Tumblr media
Beren: The thing is that I own a shirt with melon pattern on it, and I owned it before you were even built, but it would feel a bit awkward wearing it now. Would it make you uncomfortable if I wore it?
Melon: Can I see it?
Tumblr media
Beren: So, what do you think? Okay or weird?
Tumblr media
Melon: You should definitely wear that one. It looks good on you.
Tumblr media
Melon: Sorry, I hope it was okay that I said that last thing.
Tumblr media
Beren: Of course it's okay, friends compliment each others' clothes all the time.
