Post-DR1, spoilers natch.

It's been so quiet around here lately...

I guess it's to be expected. The anime finished its run weeks ago, the English version of the game won't be released for another three months and no-one cares about the spinoff. Is this what they call "rats escaping from a sinking ship"? Or "the calm before the storm"?

Maybe I should think about applying to one of those "games" in the meantime, just to have something to do. It has to be better than this "endless void of dark and lonely silence" gig I have going on right now.

Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

At least one of you is able to take initiative. Good to know.

[despairista]

I've never been very good at sitting still.

[incendii]

Even better. I'm glad to see that one of your kind is a... go-getter.

[despairista]

"Go-getter"? I haven't been called that since the second grade...

There was a "Super High-School Level Go-Getter" at my school, though. He ran a whole load of businesses or something.

[gambliar]

I'd say it's probably the calm before the storm. Once the English version is out people who were interested in the game before will no doubt swarm to it like ants over a crumb of bread.

Personally, I'm more interested in how the translation will done.

[despairista]

I hear they're translating "Super High-School Level" as "Ultimate".

The nerdhate should be delicious.

[gambliar]

Oh indeed. After the ordeal with Yamada's title, even I find myself looking forward to the reactions. It's a commoner's dish, but surely no one would blame me if I brought the popcorn?

[despairista]

Hohohoho! We concur with such a notion, Lady Ludenberg! It shall be a viewing of the highest caliber!

With sleeping bags and hot cocoa most plentiful!

[gambliar]

I look forward to it. Although three months is quite a long time to wait for a slumber party. Hopefully something interesting happens to tie us over until then.

[despairista]

That's it? "I look forward to it"?

[gambliar]

Dear me, is that not enough for you?

[despairista]

Would a person not exhibit some apprehension towards staying overnight with a former enemy?

In this respect, your response falls short of expectation.

[gambliar]

"Former"? You misunderstand. I still hate you for what you did, it's just that I see little point in fighting with you over such trivial matters when we know what we know. All of us played our parts to weave together a story. They might not have been good parts, but they were parts all the same. So as long as you choose to be hospitable, it's only fair I do the same.

[despairista]

Urgh, you don't have to be so "zen" about it.

This is not helping my mood...

[gambliar]

Surely you can find something to improve your mood. Have you tried kicking puppies? Trying on make-up?

Not necessarily in that order.

[despairista]

Hmmm... "trying on make-up"?

Come to think of it, it's been a really, really, realllllllly long time since I got to give someone a makeover!

... hey Celly?

[gambliar]

[She knows where this is going.]

Absolutely not.

[despairista]

But Cellyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...

[gambliar]

[BACKING UP LIKE WHOA

She doesn't want to risk getting Junko's crocodile tears and snot on her clothes, okay? Okay.]

Oh for fuck's sake--have some dignity, will you?

[despairista]

Wh-what's wrong? Are you s-scared or something?

[gambliar]

Yes, that you'll ruin my clothes with your needless waterworks.

[despairista]

Or perhaps you are scared of change, that I may scratch the surface of the porcelain doll that you painstakingly preserve.

[gambliar]

It's no secret that I take pride in my appearance. Why would I want you messing around with it?
