Private to Samasu Shikou

[thefifthmonarch]

... I believe... you wanted to learn how to...

Erm... play. Polo?

Yes, I did, actually.

Now that the snow has melted... It might be nice to do that.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

I'm probably going to be a horrible teacher... but I will do my best...

My mind seems to have some difficulty remembering the game a little.

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

...Mn? It is?

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Yes. I know enough that I can play... just forgive me if I blank out.

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

It's alright then. I'm sure you'll be an excellent teacher.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Th-thank you. On many accounts.

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

It's best to have confidence... Besides, not everyone can immediately recall information. It's alright if you blank out a bit, on details.

...polo you say? Any chance I could get in as well, depending on when you do this?

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

...Hello, Mr. Erland.

Depends on whether Noriko would like you to join, as well.

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

I imagine she wouldn't mind too awful much. This current Noriko seems a lot friendlier, and more modest. Always a plus.

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

...In a sense, I guess.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Which begs how you got into the entry. Are you a hacker, Mr....?

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

...this thread is private? ....huh. Guess it is.

...wow, didn't even notice... wonder if that's something I did, or if it was Vidya.

...hope I'm not intruding TOO much then.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Not... at all...

I was just privately asking Shikou if he wanted to play with...

Admittedly it is rude for you to be stalking into a private post...

But... I could use the friends. Even for a little while.

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

In my defense, I simply wasn't paying attention. When you're an alien living with a mad scientist... sometimes you just don't realize you've broken laws of physics, let alone LJ locks. >.>;;

Oh? Surprised you don't have them, really. You're a lot more polite now, if a bit emotionally unstable... But sure, I wouldn't mind at all.

In fact, if you need someone to talk to sometime, just let me know, alright?

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

... Right.

... I feel ostracized even as I am. I guess, people still see me as something fake...

Alright... Mister...?

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

It's true. :<

...huh. Maybe... maybe they just feel put out by how you used to be? Has anyone told you that they think that about you?

Erland Eusebius. Pink shirt, general nut, occasional amateur psychiatrist, etc, etc. Just to be nice and formal, you are...?

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

That's the problem. I'm a former minor champion from where I lived. I should know this game inside out.

And thank you... for being a friend.

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

Given the conditions of the island, maybe you've just become slightly rusty, by not playing it as much?

...You're welcome, Noriko. I'm glad to be one, to you.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

Possibly... but it feels... jammed, I guess.

It's just... I've been ostracized since I got here, frankly. Like I'm not good enough. Espically by that girl, that first time...

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it will come to you.

..."That girl"?

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

... Thank you.

... That Kirihana Girl... She means well...

But... I felt like I never belonged here. It's like... not her fault, but nothing to do... Nobody wanted me.

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

...Ah... Well, in a way, I didn't much like you either, at first... But I moved on from that, and now you're a friend, to me. I'm sure that given time... That will happen with others, as well.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

If they don't see this as a rouse. Hussle. or Dodge....

Which me did you prefer, anyways?

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

...I've accepted both.

While you may be nicer now... I didn't mind you, even before you became this way.
