*The video feed turns on and a familiar figure appears, lit up by the screen of the COMP and the edges of her own markings. She has a hairclip in her hair that... it looks like a flower, but not any flower she is familiar with.*

All right people who read that crappy novel, fess up: am I in it? *She points to her hairclip.* Because I think I got a fan.

What book are you talking about?

[demifemme]

The book that guy in the bowlcut was reading out loud the other night.

[ video ]

[honorlao]

Guess I wasn't here for that.

[ video ]

[demifemme]

Honestly, you didn't miss much at all...

[ video ]

[honorlao]

What's it about?

[ video ]

[demifemme]

Terrible, terrible romance and porn.

[ video ]

[honordyne]

Sounds interesting.

[ video ]

[demifemme]

It's not worth the paper it's printed on, I assure you.

[ video ]

[honorlao]

Why would you be in it?

[ video ]

[demifemme]

According to the guy who did the reading and the reactions to his reading, the writer has taken characters of Hinoto-Ri and put them in her book. People aren't too happy about it.

Sounds like that stupid play I watched before I came here. It didn't have romance or anything it it--well, it did, but that wasn't the point of the play. Me and my friends were in it. Nothing about it was right.

[demifemme]

Ugh. I really wonder why people do shit like that. I mean, what's the point? Are they not creative enough to create real characters and not just bad copies of real people?

[ video ]

[honordyne]

Heh. You're telling me. They're just lazy and looking for a quick buck.

What's your name, by the way? I'm Zuko.

[demifemme]

Some people.

I'm the Hitoshura. People call me Shura, though.

[ video ]

[honordyne]

"The Hitoshura"? Is that some sort of title?

[ video ]

[demifemme]

Yes. I'm also called the Demi-Fiend. Basically I'm a demon who will beat God.

[ video ]

[honorlao]

Oh. That's...impressive. I guess.

[demifemme]

Thanks, and sorry you had to go through that.

So I have a secret admirer it seems. I hope it's a girl...

[ video ]

[demifemme]

It is, but, I guess it seems less impressive when you're not from my world.

[poorlittleblueburdie]

and i apologize for the poor impression im sure i made when we first met

you didnt seem to be in a good mood and i didnt exactly conduct myself well

Re: [text]

[demifemme]

*Seriously she does not remember that meeting in the hospital at all.*

Re: [text]

[poorlittleblueburdie]

*yeah... and he hasn't quite caught on to that fact yet.*

then you wont hold it against me?

i would still like to make it up to you somehow

try introductions again in better circumstances

would it be too much if i offered dessert?

i know of places for ice cream or hot chocolate

some that serve both even

if those might interest you?

*That? That's probably still a bit of guilt talking, there.*

We have very different tastes in romance novels.

Then again, I was raised in a monastery.

As for your secret admirer...maybe you should ask about that specifically.
