Yes...

[ She smiles, though it goes a bit thin. ]

It was... hard to spare the concentration, but... I do remember seeing Thorn making the prison bars ring as he struck them with a blade. I don't know how he even brought one in.

[ fushigi mystery. ]

[ mystery indeed. ]

But, ah—it seems like you’ve found significantly more fun in this game, then.

[worthathousand]

Somehow, yes, I'm finding it much more enjoyable.

...What about you, though? You seem to prefer mortality to vampirism, but I can imagine that it might be... bittersweet, perhaps.

[widenessofthesea]

A brief blessing in disguise I'll take as a rare treat nonetheless. Or at least that's how I prefer to look at it.

[worthathousand]

I'm glad, then. This place offers strange sources of joy, but they are no less precious for that.

[widenessofthesea]

You could call me an optimist, I suppose. Hope springs eternal, as it were, even if I don’t entirely trust anything that comes from Hell.

It seems like you’re having a good time as well.

[worthathousand]

I admit I am—though for once I've put my, ah, competitive streak aside. Which is actually fairly notable, from me!

With all that has happened lately, though... I'm glad to do something simply on my own terms.

[widenessofthesea]

I suppose I wouldn't quite say I'm competitive, but I do like winning—I'm just not really suited to this type of competition, I think. I suppose some of the young ones would say this is "self care," wouldn't they?

[worthathousand]

[ a chuckle ]

At this point, there are so many things that have gotten called "self care" for Lives, I think I know even less what it means that when I started.

[widenessofthesea]

As long as they're having fun, I suppose.
