Don't you think this is a little preemptive? You ignored me for almost two years and you're -- at best -- clumsy with my voice.

Besides, I don't appreciate your glee in plotting to send me to a place where even the people I know are actually strangers to me. I would rather have my real friends around.

They won't remain strangers for too long. Don't worry.

I was looking at your journal this morning SMALL RP WORLD

[ There's something reassuring about hearing this from another version of herself. ]

Did it happen to you as well?

INDEED

[quoth]

Not in a game, no, but I have met several alternates of Garfield, and from my experience, we bond quite quickly. If these people are alternate versions of your friends, then you already have a good foundation for a friendship.

[ It's strange to hear Beast Boy's real name -- she knows it, but they never call him by it. ]

I'm just... still not good at making friends.

[quoth]

It's all right. [ A soft, encouraging smile. ] Do not push things past their limits. One step at a time.

[zinthosmantra]

Everything in its time and place.

[ One of the Monks' very first lessons to her while she was growing up. ]

Are things very different between you and I?

[quoth]

Most likely. We should get to know each other better sometime.

[zinthosmantra]

I'd... really like that.

[ Still feeling a little intimidated by older!self but willing to learn. ]

[quoth]

You will be all right, Raven. I cannot promise you this, but I can tell you that you can make it all right.

>Tt.< There are times when everybody is a stranger. How else will you learn new things?

oh look I'm refreshing myself on her dry humor lol

[zinthosmantra]

It's... called a book?

*snickers*

[demon_brat]

No, a book is something somebody else actually knows. What you will learn from new situations is something nobody else can know.

[zinthosmantra]

However books also provide a perspective on things that it may not be possible to experience for yourself. Things that are in the past or... things that aren't from the place you live.
