This is where to go if you need to talk to Admin, Doll, or the other NPCs. Be sure to write who each message is for in the subject line! For example, VIDEO | ADMIN or TEXT | DOLL!
They may not answer right away or at all, but you never know until you try!
I was worried!!! I thought I could get around it by sending him something! Master didn't say I COULDN'T send something helpful!!!
(;´艸`)(;´艸`)(;´艸`)
Master lifted the ban. Things went quicker then we thought in processing everything and...they had some people they needed to contact for various deals.
I was allowed to help because...if people want to complain and Master doesn't want to talk to them, I'm the one they can go to.
what did you even have to worry about? there was nothing going on then compared to a few weeks ago
plus people have been saying you guys are pretty much keeping tabs on us 24/7 through the phone i've been better than good! the best! unlike you i have no way to do the same 😠 plus
[ … he types and backspace several messages before deciding to move on. ]
well i'm glad to hear from you again i GUESS you can be forgiven
Well....you never know what might happen, what with the pools and the pumpkins getting angry...(´∀`;)
I'm glad to see you too! And Father Abel encouraged me to get in touch with you and others so I can talk and not be lonely so! I'll try to do that from now on!
(^o^)/ I can send you more kaomoji! It'll be fun-
ఠ_ఠ (⊙_⊙) ◎ܫ◎
Wait who said anything about keeping tabs on you...?
is this another warning like with the candles should i be getting something else ready this time??
and hey! if i could message you any time i would've done so long ago friends reach out to each other! would be even better if we could hang out in person one day
is that what those are 😃🍜🍰 i can find these, but where are those? they look way cooler!
[ woops, too distracted by this search to answer that last part ]
what? no i know whatever you do it's to try and help us you still gotta work on your apologizing habit!!!
and hmm how about starting with things like how your day going? is it going well? bad? i'll always wanna hear about it if you dunno what to say
but for now how about you tell me what you like to do you do for fun?
when we meet up one day you can show me too! looks complicated... i figure it's a part of your job and anyone else's who's there with you otherwise how'd you know what happened with jun
well yeah what kinda friend would i be if i didn't?
that explains what you made was so good last time! castella, the castella genius! i usually like playing pranks but recently hmm gardening has actually been kinda fun hahaha i'm pretty hopeless outside of cacti though
jeez let's agree to forget that ever happened either way you can just ask me now instead of snooping! there's nothing i'd wanna hide from you anyway
It's just- always surprising people want to know about me...? I just
Mostly exist to help others if that makes sense...
Hehe. It is fun to make castellas! Maybe I should make more!
Really? You like gardening? That sounds very sweet! And soothing. I can see you enjoying digging in the dirt, grabbing weeds... Maybe you need some how to books on gardening...or a gardening mentor? It might be nice if there's a community garden...
Oh? Really? Um You just like being honest with everyone right...?
[Doll might...just be trying so hard not to read into this]
a lot of people are like that too maybe not in the sense that you're thinking
but it's like how there are doctors and guards and how they spend most of their lifetimes helping people how they can just because they devote themselves to it doesn't mean they don't or can't get help from others too
actually speaking of you're kinda like a guardian for us, aren't you? of course we'd want to give back to you however we can and even if you weren't everyone deserves to have friends family people looking out for em
and uh ... if i'm being honest i'm not much of a book guy [ understatement of the year ] i've figured things out before though maybe i can manage?
is there something wrong with that? it's better to be honest than it is to be a liar.
I don't disagree! Just...it's kind of nice when I'm thought of as a person and not a function...which I'm sure those doctors or guards would agree, it's a nice thing!
And...I guess I am? I'm not really a good one, with all the trouble that happens but
I try my best
Maybe! I'll be...rooting for you!
[What a bad joke...anyway...]
No! Nothing wrong with that! I like it a lot actually!
I'm just uh you know not trying to get any hopes up know what I mean...?
It's true but I feel like I could do so much better S-I mean, I'll try not to...
[It might be a losing battle tbh]
I mean there's the team but we all have our spheres and I mostly do it on my own because I can...I'm strong enough to handle it and there's not that many of us...
We're not a nation, for better or for worse.
[Ah. Um. Doll can feel a blush going all the way up to her ears.]
there's a whole bunch of us with powers here you saying none of us can do anything to help you?
man!! you really do deserve better than whatever shitty people you have to deal with every day!! lemme at em 😠
yknow whenever people say that it just makes them more curious but i also worry about you a lot i'm not gonna have to call you again to get it outta you, am i
[ … ok give the Naruto hamster wheel a few seconds to process this
Doll asks him if he likes being honest → Doll's trying not to get her hopes up → Doll says it's not important → Doll is… experiencing a crush?! And from the sounds of it, it sounds unreciprocated?! That's not enough information. Naruto needs to go deeper. What else does he know about Doll?
Oh! She'd sent Jun a dating guide because she thought Jun was interested in Naruto. Wasn't what started this her looking out for Jun, too…? Oh. Oh no. 😱 How dare you have someone back at home, Jun!!!!!!!! Except, when it comes to unreciprocated crushes… Naruto happens to be an expert, isn't he? ]
it's not whatever!!! ... i know how it feels yknow, liking someone that you know doesn't and won't like you back
if you wanted someone to talk to, i'm here for you it's tough and you can't do something about another person's feelings but getting it out can help a lot
and aren't we all pretty new here though? it's way too soon for you to give up! you're great and j WHOEVER DOESN'T LIKE YOU BACK DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE MISSING do they even know?
[Oh...oh Naruto, you outdumbed yourself. It takes a few seconds, and she's not sure if Naruto is just being his sweet self, or if he really doesn't get it.]
Yeah...yeah...thank you Naruto really
[She really likes them stupid...huh]
It just kinda happened, I would have liked to have a crush at, oh, you know never because I don't-well I kind of know what to do about crushes but I'm supposed to take care of everyone, not just one person!!! It's. Something
But I don't think they know at all It might have even gone over their head Then again, I haven't exactly confessed so...
haha, it's kinda like that, isn't it? you never expect someone to become such a part of your life like that then bam! sometimes it's hard to imagine where you would've been before you met em
[ well, in his case it isn't exactly with his crush but with someone else… but hey, love is love and it often manifests in similar ways, even if it's of a different kind. they're both important to him, anyway. ]
i dunno, feelings make up who we are it can't be helped and it proves you're just as much of a person as anyone else if they're there and there's nothing you can do about it, doesn't mean you can't make something of it anyway 💪
as long as the person i like is happy that's enough for me doesn't mean they've stopped making me wanna try my best maybe it can be like that for you! sure, you aren't supposed to give the one guy special attention... but because of them, you wanna try your best protecting everyone that much more. there's nothing wrong with that
still, if you haven't confessed yet you gotta chance! it's fine to take your time but at the same time there's stuff i wish i hadn't waited so long on either it's up to you what you're comfortable with! and hey, that's why talking things through can help
[ UZUMAKI NARUTO: INCAPABLE OF BEING CHILL, EVER. short-term crushes?? what're those?? everything is terrible my god ]
[Naruto: Also the guy who doesn't see HE IS BEING CRUSHED ON]
They're just there, making you realize that your heart is bigger then you would believe
Because you want to give them a part of it, for better or worse...
I just...want to be fair And I want that person happy And...I want to protect and make them realize how precious they are
Even if I'm a little...afraid
Which is silly I know but I just I want to hold their hand Even if my hands are...pretty ugly And I want to tell them that really They have The most beautiful eyes and I really want for him to be happy...!
[ DOLL NO THEY'RE 2/3 FOR INTERACTIONS WHERE SHE ENDS UP CRYING?? Not that he knows about this instance of it yet, if ever, it's not supposed to be like this!! ]
what are you afraid of? losing them as a friend? bonds don't disappear that easily, not when they're this important to you
it's not silly! everyone wants to do those things with the person they like i wouldn't say my hands are any pretty either happens when you're a ninja i guess
but every mark on it is proof of my hard work and effort if the other person can't see that? then they weren't great to begin with i'm sure the same could be said about yours
from what you're telling me it's hard to imagine them feeling that way with the reasons you've told me so far? anyone would be flattered they might not be able to reciprocate right away or at all, but it's always nice to know someone cares about you you already said you don't want to force anything on them
[ HA…… HAHAHAHA… SUDDENLY… INTENSE REGRET
why is his foot in his mouth more than half the time ]
wh NO!!!!!! [ Okay he might've been… a bit shocked if he was never told this in advance… but no one has to know this. Considering he knows what it's like to be judged for factors outside of his control, he feels bad— he really does. ]
that's not something you can help ... sorry
did the guy name you doll cause your body's one? not that this makes you any less castella. just makes me wonder about his naming sense...
That'd be nice if they were...but I'm not going to try and get my hopes up about it. Maybe it'll be easier once we're face to face?
I dunno
Oh
That
I'm more of a...mix up of a lot of things that make me into something close enough to human
The hands are...
The hands are more of a scar I might be able to get hands that look more human in time but Not yet
Master can be a little literal but they always told me that the reason they called me Doll was because I was pretty as one Though I think that was one of those parental lies Maybe it's easier for them to think of me as a doll and not, well A person
Not in a bad way! Just...they had children a long time ago, Master never told me what happened to them
whatever your hands are like they're yours so that alone makes them precious
the fact that you can protect with them, make cakes with them that's never gonna change yeah?
... i can't say what it's like to have parents or what a parent should be but i think i get it. i'm pretty sure a lot of people avoided me cause of how much i reminded them of my dad and they needed the separation
as long as they're still treating you as you
hey now that i think about it, when we first talked i asked you if you were being held against your will but you never gave me a clear answer you seemed okay with getting out with all of us at the time then there was that one guy who said it was actually upsetting you
no subject
there's nothing going on between us! what if you got in trouble for contacting him too? huh?? huh????
when you said you weren't sure if you'd be able to get back to us in months i was real worried
[ So really, Naruto isn't entirely upset about him messaging Jun, exactly. What a silly thing for Doll to put himself at risk for! ]
and he did tell me
something about being grounded for picking up my call
which
sorry about by the way
no subject
I was worried!!! I thought I could get around it by sending him something! Master didn't say I COULDN'T send something helpful!!!
(;´艸`)(;´艸`)(;´艸`)
Master lifted the ban. Things went quicker then we thought in processing everything and...they had some people they needed to contact for various deals.
I was allowed to help because...if people want to complain and Master doesn't want to talk to them, I'm the one they can go to.
Anyway
It's ok
I knew better, you didn't

But I'd like that very much. I'm not used to reaching out to people just to say hi but...it'd be nice...!
Oh these? (・・;)ゞ
They're a little different! What you have are emojis! These are Kaomoji! They're different because you can use grammar marks and stuff to make faces!

no subject
I...really? Is that how it- you'd really want to hear it?
I like to make things with my hands! Baking especially. But I like to plant things and make machines and things like that!
What about you? What do you like to do for fun!
It's not as complicated as it sounds! I'll show you how to do all sorts of stuff with your phone! It'll be fun! ٩(●ᴗ●)۶
Oh, right, that...(; ̄ー ̄川
