Private to Samasu Shikou

[thefifthmonarch]

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

Erm... play. Polo?

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]

Strange island....

No... but I feel unwanted. Not exactly here. Or accepted.

Wakahisa Noriko. Obelisk Blue demoted to Osiris Red. Daughter of relatively wealthy parents. Current personality is due to magic, to be completely honest. Don't get used to it... I'll probably be loathing myself in a few months. I like Polo and cards that blind people's eyes.

[pureplainpatron.livejournal.com]

And why is that?

Heh.. yes, I've heard. Really the most annoying trait of your previous personality was utter lack of humility. It's something I've seen in others... and being who and what I am, I can't help but get annoyed at it.

But regardless, nice to meet you Noriko.

[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.

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

... Really? Why thank you dahli-- ... apologies. I shouldn't talk like that.

Also... a pity about Adam...

But... not really. Unexpected of him. Not if you understand what kind of man he is.

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

Your choice how to speak, Noriko.

......Mng...

I still don't get how anyone would throw themselves away like that...

[thefifthmonarch.livejournal.com]

No, I can't. I literally cannot talk like that. And... it's abominable.

... He loved Kirihana. Alot.

If I had to guess.

He felt betrayed.
