2/23 Text

[argone]

Kara Ellis shared a photo. 2/23 near Recolle U.

So Retrospec sent me a cape. Weird, huh? Had a little fun with Photoshop since it makes me feel like some sort of hero, and it's definitely an upgrade from the towels I wore as a kid. Has anyone else gotten something like this? It feels way, way more significant than just a bit of cloth, but hell if I know why.

[ooc: the photoshopped outfit is just a generic skintight blue. Ignore the big S!]

...I got a crown? I guess that counts?

[argone]

A crown? Are you royalty?

[heiroglyphs]

God I hope not.
I don't have any memories of it, at least.

[argone]

No?
Don't want to be a reincarnated princess?

[heiroglyphs]

I get called "princess" enough in my daily life.
A crown coming in the mail didn't help.
But hopefully your cape has a more positive impact for you.

[argone]

I can definitely hope so.
Princess, though.
Why not just own it?

[heiroglyphs]

A laundry list of issues that I don't trust you well enough to disclose.
Plus if someone called you that name all your life as a way to get under your skin, would you "own it"?

[argone]

Take it easy, kid.
I'm not trying to pry.
And yes, I would.
Take the weapon away from the bully and use it against them.
That removes the teeth, and puts the power squarely in your control.
