[MINGLE ] And many happy returns to you, Bakura!

[Has a creepy, stalkerish or just plain rude valentine made it under your doorstep? Probably, at least until Bakura got lazy and stopped bothering. Regardless, do you want to express how you feel about said valentine to him? Then this is the place to do so!]

Even so, that's pretty amazing! All of you are really awesome.

[He grins broadly at her. It's not even joking; he's really impressed. Just three people against some kind of ancient evil force? That's really something!]

I'm glad it's all over, though. Things like that must be really scary.

[whiterosefoes]

To be honest, I was scared the entire time I was there. It wasn't until Henry was crowned that I could start to relax a little, and even then... I didn't feel any relief until we left and ended up here. I was just happy to be in the right time period.

...

[That's right, poor Harriet's been taken away from home way longer than the rest of them. Poor thing. He sips his tea slowly, almost demurely, sinking into the comfortable silence for a moment.]

It must have been really disorienting. Like culture shock turned all the way up.

[whiterosefoes]

Yeah, that was bad. But it was mostly the war thing, [she smiles sheepishly.]

When we fought Manawhatever, it was grueling, difficult and intense. I was angry with Rosenkreuz, afraid for my life, and desperate to protect my best friend... it almost didn't matter what he was. We just had to take him down for the nightmare to end.

[She's suffered a lot, huh... war really is frightening, and dealing with something like that... Nobody really deserves to endure that.]

Sorry... I didn't mean to drag up unpleasant memories. It's fascinating, but if it's unpleasant, please don't feel obliged to talk about it.

[whiterosefoes]

... That's no problem. I'm tougher than that, remember?

Anyway, I think the people I met here are the only ones who can understand me on this. In a way it's good to have someone to talk to.

[Ryou smiles and nods, sipping his tea with a little more happiness now.]

I guess it's the closest thing to therapy you can get here, right?

[Not that any real therapist would listen to that story without assuming she was just insane. That really must be tough. She can't really tell anyone other than the people with equally weird experiences that live here.]

Hey, Vaughn-san, would you mind if I borrowed a little bit of your story for a future TRPG campaign? It could be really fun to adapt.

[whiterosefoes]

Hm? [she blinks, a little surprised by that. Was he inspired by her now? She picks up her tea and looks into it with a small smile before she takes another sip.] If you want to do that, I don't really mind. I'm happy to have given you an idea.

Is there anything else you wanted to know, though? It could be about my story or Bakura's.
