Ava: (Sighs)
(A notification pops up on Ava's phone)
Lorelai: (Voicing Ava's text) You probably are going "ugh!" at this message, but you know you secretly want to go, I can tell. It's next Saturday, so if you want to go but you don't want to text back just meet us at the festival at 2PM. I hope you're doing well!
Ava: Saturday at 2PM. I mean, let's weigh the pro's and cons, Ava; a pro is if I don't go I can sleep more without the weight of the world judging me on my shoulders, and the con is I can just sit here in my apartment, in my room, doing nothing, as always. I mean, everyone in my school has been going to the Fall Festival since we were young and Lorelai did say some friends from high school were going to be there for sure, so there's no way around it. But, high school for me was...
(In the past, Ava looks through her school locker)
student N1 in flashback: Yo, why is that chick always angry?
student N2 in flashback: Who?
student N1 in flashback: Avara.
student N2 in flashback: Oh, you mean, Ava.
student N1 in flashback: Yeah, whatever.
student N2 in flashback: Rumor has it she's been on bad terms with a lot of people since she was young, she hasn't changed much.
student N1 in flashback: Yeah, but like, doesn't she bully people a lot?
student N2 in flashback: More like the opposite, but she definitely gives out bad vibes like she doesn't want you to be around.
student N1 in flashback: Shame, she'd probably be cute if she smiled more.
student N2 in flashback: Maybe her home life is bad, we don't know what...
Ava in flashback: (Slams her locker shut) That's not true! Leave my parents out of it! If you're going to talk bad about anyone, talk bad about me!
Ava: I mean, a lot of my school life was like that. What if I see people who I didn't like before like... Everyone? (Sighs)
Leif: Asch, give me the remote!
Asch: Over my dead body!
Leif: That could be arranged!
Ava: (Giggles) Maybe they'd want to go? (Goes to the living room) What the... Why does it smell so bad?
(Asch and Leif pull on the remote)
Asch: We both know I'm stronger than you.
Leif: We've never really tested that out now, have we?
Pierce: No.
Leif: Shut up, Pierce!
Asch: I'd challenge you to a combat but I do not want to miss Socky's next grand adventure!
Leif: I need to watch the show about the murders!
Asch: You can't even remember your favorite TV show's name, you don't care about it.
Leif: I only pay attention to certain parts.
Ava: Hey, time out!
(Asch stops pulling and Leif falls)
Ava: What the heck is going on? Why do you guys look so beardy and smell so bad?
Leif: I can answer that! Rhys is having us conserve magic.
Ava: Huh?
Pierce: He's concerned that at the rate we're using it we won't have enough to return to Daemos.
Ava: A-Are you guys planning on returning soon?
Asch: (Sighs) In time.
Leif: We haven't really talked about it, we still need to talk about how we're gonna get... Uh... Um... I... Who gets the remote! (Laughs awkwardly)
Ava: Marriage again, huh? (Sighs) Let's just talk about what's in front of us right now. So, what does conserving magic have to do with the smell and your beards?
Leif: We can't clean ourselves.
Ava: What?
Asch: We rely on magic as you do to keep ourselves clean.
Pierce: Not a substantial amount, but enough to keep our appearance.
Ava: Wait, so that's why you guys were so confused about my baths? So wait, you guys understand I don't use magic to keep clean, right?
Pierce: You don't?
Asch: Then what do you do?
Ava: I take a bath, like what you guys have accidentally seen me do before.
Leif: Accidentally?
Ava: Yeah, don't you guys do that when you run out of magic?
Pierce: We've never ran out of magic.
Ava: Huh?
Asch: You heard him.
Ava: Does everyone have magic where you guys come from?
Leif: Yeah, at least the Daemos.
Asch: It's an inherent trait of our world, our society is built around it, which is why many of your things fascinate us, which is... (Sighs) Why we should perhaps begin thinking about when to return to ours.
Ava: Aw, that's too bad. And here I was about to take you all to the Fall Festival.
Asch: Where?
Leif: Take us out?
Pierce: What?
Ava: Oh god, the smell.
Asch: (Gasps) Are you actually taking us out again, Prisoner?
Ava: As long as you guys allow me to teach you guys proper human hygiene, then yes, I'll take you guys out.
Asch: Deal! We will have to postpone our meeting about the eventuality I suppose.
Pierce: Yes.
Leif: Now, a quick question. Who's Gene?
(In the bathroom)
Ava: You've been here before, but the bathroom is a very sacred and private place. People want privacy to be able to take a shower and get ready for the day and stuff.
Leif: Okay, we've been here before.
Asch: What do we do here?
Ava: First, let's work on your shave.
Asch: Our what?
(A few minutes later)
Ava: Pay attention because I'm only going to show you this once. (Swipes away the shaving cream)
Leif: Ha, that's easy. Give me that! (Screams when he swipes some of the cream off but scratches himself) Why didn't you tell me the stick had tiny blades?
Ava: Look, this is the first time I'm showing someone else how to do this, okay? And I only do my upper lip. (Shaves Leif properly) And... Done! Your turn.
Asch: You better not cut me.
Ava: (Shaves Asch) Done! Pierce.
Pierce: Okay.
Ava: (Shaves Pierce) Okay, now, it's time for you guys to, uh... Take a bath.
Asch: Uh... How do we do that?
Ava: This is going to be harder than I thought.
(A few minutes later, Pierce sits in the bath while Ava blocks her eyes)
Ava: Let's set the record straight, I just came here after you guys got yourselves in there, okay?
Pierce: Why are you saying that?
Ava: Just listen to my instructions! See the bubbles? That's the soap I put in there for you because we don't have time for me to explain shampoo. What I need you to do is to scrub that soap on yourself all over and in your hair.
Pierce: Okay. (Washes himself)
Ava: How are you doing?
Pierce: Done.
Ava: All right, now you see that pink cloth next to you? Use it to dry and then cover it below your waist please.
Pierce: (Dries himself) Done.
Ava: Done? (Uncovers her eyes)
Pierce: Yes.
Ava: Perfect, you did it properly! Let's just hope the other 2 are as fast as you at learning.
(A few minutes later)
Ava: What's taking so long?
Leif: This is boring! I don't want to do this.
Ava: Well, you're going to do this if you want to go to the Fall Festival.
Leif: I've been meaning to ask, what's a Fall Festival?
Ava: I'll explain later, just wash for now.
Leif: No, this is boring. (Goes deeper into the water)
Ava: (Goes to get something) Ugh! I swear... Stupid... (Throws a toy boat at Leif)
Leif: Ow!
Ava: You can play with the boat after you finish washing yourself! Now do it! (Leaves)
Leif: (Picks up the boat) Oh, there are tiny humans on this ship. Don't worry, humans, I won't let you drown. (Dunks the boat in the water) Oops!
(A few minutes later)
Asch: (Washes his hair) Ha, this is stupidly easy.
Ava: Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just make sure you don't get any in your...
Asch: (Rubs his eyes) My eyes! (Screams)
Ava: Oh no, no, no, no, no! Just put some water on the...
(Asch stands up)
Ava: (Screams and faints)
(A few minutes later, outside of the bathroom)
Ava: There. Well, what do you guys think?
Asch: It was, uh... Interesting.
Pierce: Refreshing.
Leif: I enjoyed it.
Ava: Of course you enjoyed it, you locked yourself in the bathroom so you could play with the boat.
Leif: But it got the job done!
Ava: (Face palms) All right, listen, we're going to be going to the Fall Festival. Do you guys remember Lorelai?
Pierce: Yes.
Asch: Of course we do.
Leif: Who?
Ava: Well, I decided that I'm going to go out and try to kind of meet her friends there; some of those friends are old acquaintances of mine.
Leif: You're making that face again from before.
Ava: Huh?
Leif: Should I bring my weapons?
Ava: N-No, in fact, I'm super relieved that Rhys took away magic usage because that makes me a bit more comfortable with taking you guys out.
(Pierce raises his hand)
Ava: Why are you raising your hand?
Pierce: Because Socky raises his hand to ask a question.
Asch: Have you been watching Socky behind my back?!
Pierce: Yes.
Asch: (Gasps)
Ava: Aw, Pierce, that's polite! At least someone is learning something from Socky.
Asch: Hey!
Ava: Wait, how does Socky have hands if he's a sock and what does he wear on his feet? Deep questions.
Pierce: May I ask my question now?
Ava: Huh? Oh, right! Sorry. Go for it.
Pierce: What exactly is a Fall Festival?
Ava: Oh! That's right, I kind of didn't elaborate. Well, you see, a Fall Festival is an event that celebrates Fall, it's kind of like a party where a lot of people get together and just, uh, eat all kinds of food and play games together and such.
Asch: So, why are you going?
Ava: Because I-I... I... Guess I want to turn over a new leaf and such.
Leif: No way! (Pulls out his knives)
Ava: Huh?
Leif: You cannot have a new me! You said you would...
Ava: No! No, no, no, no, no! It's just an expression! It means I'm going to take a leaf and turn it over, like starting new.
Leif: Huh? (Puts away his knives) O-Oh.
Ava: All right. So remember, no magic, and please, try not to get dirty since we just got you guys cleaned. Be good while we go out.
Rhys: You guys are going out?
Ava: Huh?
Noi: (Laughs) I want to go too!
Ava: W-Wait, I got to... Clean you guys too?!
(At the Fall Festival)
Ava: (Laughs) The Carnival! Oh my god, I remember when my dads used to bring me here when I was little, this is going to be so fun! I...
(A notification pops up on Ava's phone)
Lorelai: (Voicing Ava's text) Hey, I don't know if you're going to the Fall Festival or not but if you are, I wanted to let you know we're going to be running late, bad traffic. Hope to see you there!
Ava: Oh, well that means we can do things together!
Asch: Uh... What do we do exactly?
Ava: Well, first, I have to get you guys a ticket. Wait here. (Leaves)
Leif: Being without magic sucks, Rhys!
Rhys: Sucks?
Leif: Yeah, like it's not cool.
Rhys: Cool?
Asch: It means good.
Rhys: Wait, you guys are teaching me things?
Leif: Yeah, what of it?
Rhys: (Laughs) I just thought I'd never live to see this day.
Leif: Shut up!
Rhys: I do digress. It seems like we're all becoming more like humans even in our mannerisms.
Noi: I noticed that, it's kind of nice.
Rhys: We do need to start thinking of when we are executing our final plan and going home. Are we still trying to win Ava's affections?
Asch: We'll speak of that later, for now, I want to experience this Carnival.
Rhys: You do realize, if the magic crisis happens the way of life on Daemos will drastically change, much like we can't function here without Ava's help, so will be the fate of everyone back home.
Asch: It can wait 1 day!
Noi: Oh, so you guys can't use any magic at all. Like, not any?
Rhys: None, even hiding our horns is excessive, but for outings and security it is the only thing I will allow..
Asch: I would very much appreciate if we could just enjoy our time here at this festival and not worry about those matters. I know very well we have to make a decision, but I want to make sure it's the right 1.
Rhys: Very well.
Noi: So, what did you guys think about the baths? Oh, and shaving?
Asch: Leif cut himself.
Leif: Nothing new but it did catch me off guard, normally I'm used to things like that in combat.
Ava: All right, you guys, I got the tickets! (Gasps) Balloons! Oh my god! (Runs to the balloons)
(The Daemos stare at her in confusion)
Ava: May I get 1 please?
balloon man: (Laughs) Of course! They're free today. (Gives Ava some balloons)
Ava: Thank you! (Goes to the Daemos) Look, it's a balloon!
Rhys: Do you eat it?
Ava: Why do you guys always want to eat new things when you see them?
Pierce: Why do humans make things look delicious?
Ava: I mean you're not wrong, but... Anyways, follow me. I want to show you everything the festival has to offer!
(They go to explore)
