Emerging from a Closed Box

[saviourofgirls]

It's really about time. Procrastination is one thing, but that was completely ridiculous.

I get that nostalgia can be nice sometimes and I don't disagree, but if something's locked up, it's probably locked up for a reason. It's not always glamourous to go back and relive the 'glory days.'

Trying to talk your mundane out of something? And here I thought the only thing you knew was encouragement.

[saviourofgirls]

Not at all. I'm just trying to make a valid point. I can be encouraging and point out something that might need to be known, right?

[derobement]

And yet, for someone who clings to the past I wonder how much you truly mean those words. ( oh juri, like you should talk... )

[saviourofgirls]

...Uh. Well...

[Utena's effectively quieted. For a few moments anyway.]

I'm trying to learn how to move past mine. It's not an overnight process, so it's better to be trying than it is to be doing nothing.

[derobement]

And you suppose that being locked away in some box is the way to go about that, is that it? Laying about and doing nothing but gather dust -- that's how you hope to "move past" those events as you say? ( she frowns, and here she was thinking you had more on the ball than that... )

[saviourofgirls]

Well, no. I just actually meant since I'm not in a box that I shouldn't spend too much time being nostalgic. Like, a little bit is okay, but too much and I won't be able to move on with my future. At least, that's how I see it.

How do you handle the past, Juri?

[derobement]

Hmph. ( she turns, that tell-tale hand heading up towards her collar bone... placing a hand in that oh-so-familiar spot... ) Let's hope that's what you mean to do, then.

( yep yep, ignoring any mention of herself entirely, nothing to see here )

[saviourofgirls]

[If you think you can hide so easily, Juri, you are wrong. Utena's not always been as observant as she should have been. And pressing buttons is something she still seems to be good at.]

We can work on it together.

[derobement]

... I have a feeling you should be more concerned about yourself, Tenjou Utena. ( you know, rather than caring bothering others )

[saviourofgirls]

I didn't say I wasn't. Isn't it better to, you know, unify than divide? Always the prideful one, I know. But everyone needs someone.

[derobement]

Hn. ( she scoffs; and looks over her shoulder ) If only that was all we needed.

[chivalrousprince]

My my my, so pessimistic Miss Tenjou. Princesses like you shouldn't be trapped in boxes.

[saviourofgirls]

Are you still serious? I thought you would have moved past all of that. Or you know, that you might have gotten your eyes checked.

[chivalrousprince]

Why would I be anything but serious, Miss Tenjou?

[saviourofgirls]

So let's try this a little more slowly. The name's not 'princess.' You can call me Utena, you know. It sounds weird when you keep saying 'Miss.'

[fairbrook]

[Well, Integra doesn't know this particular Utena, however she has in fact been involved with one before. Her eyes soften, and there's obvious concern in her tone of voice.]

I'm sure your mundane has let you out for a reason, Miss Utena. Perhaps it it is for the best you take advantage of this.

[saviourofgirls]

Not that I'm going to argue with the idea, but how exactly do you know me? I've never seen you before.

[fairbrook]

Excuse my impetuousness, I am Sir Integra Hellsing, and I am acquainted with another version of yourself.

[saviourofgirls]

Originally I'd thought about asking why there's more than one version of me, but I've seen some pretty strange things and I guess that wouldn't be the weirdest. So I guess that also means that even though I don't know you at all, you know me kind of well?

Welp, I'm sorry.

[fairbrook]

[She chuckles lightly.] That's one way of putting it, I suppose.

Don't be! xD

[saviourofgirls]

Huh...
Isn't that kind of weird for you, though? Well, I guess it'd be weirder for me. I hope you know good things.
