It's been a while, hasn't it? I'm afraid things are really quite busy here, and unfortunately our liaison has been compromised. Well...so have a lot of people, actually. Are you still yourself if you're not the self you were? It's the kind of conversation we've had a lot of times, around here. I've always only been myself, but if I woke up tomorrow as someone else, would I still be me even if I wasn't? I think rather than worrying about that the best thing I can do is focus on trying to sort things out as best I can. I'm a little worried, actually, but I think I can manage to give everyone a shot even if I can't fix things on my own or even with everyone's help. But you can help! Or at least I think it will help if you think about what it means to be "you". It's okay if that answer changes or doesn't. Just hold onto that concept and don't let it go. And maybe tell other people what you think it means? Not like I'm saying you have to talk about that. I think usually you all just talk about anything, and I think that is also a good way to hold onto who you are and who you want to be. Sometimes I think it'd be fun, all those parties or little plans. I've never spent much time outside of these walls, did you know? I don't have time to really ramble, though. Those of you who know what I mean, we're doing our best. Those of you who don't, you do your best too. Pay attention to the things you tell yourself, and I'll try to fix what I can fix.

You'd think after a year plus of all this I'd have a better answer to questions like this but I honestly don't.

But I will say while I don't agree with everything that girl was or believed, she wasn't a bad person. So I guess I can live with that, right? Other folks aren't so lucky, I guess.

Anyways, I've got a match to get ready for tonight! Wish me luck, everyone! The Pirate Queen is taking to the skies!

[maidhem]

Good luck! I'll pull some strings with management to see that your match is on our screens tonight.

[me_matey]

And the boss lady recently made a deal to get it broadcast on the local cable access in HD, so it'll even look good now!

That or you can just do the stream, but I know the wi-fi can be a pain.

[maidhem]

Wi-Fi is always a pain, but it's worth it to see you in action.

[me_matey]

I'm curtain jerking tonight, so if the boss is okay with it, I might head over to the bar once I'm all showered and back in my civvies.

[maidhem]

Should be fine. If not, I'll convince them.

I look forward to seeing you tonight~ ♥

[quiet_storm]

So it's mapo tofu tonight at Ramen.

Good luck May!

What kind of a match are you talking about?
Is the Pirate Queen you or the name of an aircraft?

[me_matey]

Alright, I'm putting YOU through a table, jabroni.

[quiet_storm]

Sounds awesome, sign me up!

[me_matey]

Okay, no, despite the 'nature of my business', you know it still hurts like a bitch to get put through a table, right?

[quiet_storm]

Does it hurt more or less than smashing into a brick wall hard enough to leave cracks?

That stung a little.

Did I forget to tell you that I have superpowers now?

[long_live_the_queen]

[...let's. Let's not talk about the person Lucy keeps dreaming about. It's better for everyone.]

is there anything you're NOT cheerful about before a show, Satsuki?

[me_matey]

I dunno.

Bald people?

[long_live_the_queen]

that's fair

[me_matey]

See I'm glad you don't think that's a weird hangup, because my boos thinks it's the most ridiculous thing she's heard of.

[long_live_the_queen]

well, your boss wasn't stabbed in the arm by one

[unlightmusic]

ku ku ku! the broken-winged lucifer, clochette, shall always back you with unholy boon, my loving wayfarer of the violent seas!

[me_matey]

-Okay that was extra as hell, but she'll roll with it.-

Black winds in my sails definitely spells doom for my opponent.

[unlightmusic]

well said! rock the ring tonight, to the point your foe prays that heaven or hell will let em in!! gimme a show thatll make my heart sing and give rise to a new song~

but srsly tho i'll make sure to watch it with kuronii. ive been trying to get my little bro to watch some of em, but he's not really into it...

[me_matey]

Maybe they're more of a John Cena type. No shame in that.

[unlightmusic]

bc my little brother doesnt want to be seen like John Cena?
🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺

[burndownforwhat]

I had something else to say but...
You have a match tonight?
I totally forgot!
Is it sold out?

[me_matey]

Obaachan's got a wedding to go to, so she can't make it. Take her seat!

Also if it makes you feel any better, I didn't know until this morning. So. There's that. Turns out when everyone came back from ghost-ville, life just went on like normal for them, so my boss just assumed I already knew I was booked.

[burndownforwhat]

Really? That's kinda rough.
I mean it worked out in my favor. Hope she has fun at the wedding.
I could always get some footage for her.

[ which she'll forget to do, in her own excitement. ]

[me_matey]

Don't worry about obaachan. She's gonna watch the stream on her phone. Hopefully.
