[Hello, Luceti! Have another accidental recording over the journal network. This time, you'll hear is two similarly shrill voices arguing over each other. A peek at the camera reveals something leafy and green...]

Somethin' wrong with your ears, buddy? I already said I'd rather race off a cliff before I'd eat one of those!!

But don't you want to be big and strong like your friend, little girl?

Uh, no? AI's don't grow up to be anything, genius. [DRAMATIC EYEROLL] Also, I don't care what you say, that stuff's nasty.

But it's good for you!

Gross is what it is! Leave me alone!!

[The camera then shifts around, only to show a flurry of pixels flickering in place! When that clears, the setting is clearly different (outdoors this time!) and a nine year old's face is peering into the journal.]

So some kid with a stupid name keeps tryin' to poison me, guys. What do I do?

Hey, I've been survivin' on candy all my life. I think I'd know if I needed some gross, leafy thing just 'cause it's good for me!

[shinesbrightest]

I don't think it's that you need it. It's just supposed to be good for you. [He kind of just takes her comment about candy to be an exaggeration, though.] Maybe he'll leave you alone if you just eat one?

[voice]

[sugarglitch]

Maybe... [She actually frowns and considers this for a bit...

okay done considering!]

But that's totally letting him win, and there's no way I'm doin' that...
