Behold: I enclose a sketch of a mysterious stranger, one whom I theorize is of great import to you all, my compatriots! I have been having recurring dreams of this man, a man whomst I have never met, and always the scenario repeats like old clockwork: I, Ranko Kanzaki, shadowed against the sunset, being apparently threatened by this demonic messenger! There the dream ends...but my memories do not.
Could it be that this is the 'Jim' we seek? And, if so, the reason why he is constantly rebuffed by Janet could not be clearer: observe those eyes, their harsh and pitiless gaze. No wonder he is left with no option other than bewitching this fair city's fruit.
I digress, however. To any other humble servant of Retrospec's divine whims - how do I get these dreams to leave me in peace? At least for now. I need to fully replenish my artes before a certain grand performance this week.
Thank you in advance! Or rather, my deepest regards.
[ ooc note: obviously, assume that ranko's sketch is a realistic scary guy, not...an anime-style scary guy... ]
I have already come to consider that possibility, thanks to some prior suggestions. Jim Prime seems to be quite the lighthearted character, while my dream man [ she means 'man in her dreams', but doesn't notice the slip ] is rather taciturn. I could not see him creating a rhapsodic confession based on the many merits of fruit.
Thus, I have baptized him anew in the waters of the naiads! His true identity is...Jim 2!
jim became a transformer?! but that's a rather uninspired name for your ideal man i expected something along the lines of dom armand perignon camembert du cognac
Such a name befits him not. He does not have a particularly Francophone air to him.
But you are right, in a sense. Jim 2 is not a name worth etching into the annals of history. Therefore! I will strain my soul to think of his new and proper title!
Let's see...how about the Foreboding One, the Fantastic Fallen Seraph, Dantalion's Counsel, or the Mighty Stoneface?
[ She reads back over her old messages, eyes widening. A flurry of responses follow in what appears to be a panic. ]
Oh my! My deepest apologies.
I am afraid my ordinarily fearsome mind was placed under a confusion curse for a moment there.
Nevertheless, my point still stands, I trust?
I wish for these dreams to end merely because they disturb my deep and peaceful slumber, and if I do not have that then my mana cannot be fully replenished.
Oh, right - Mercutio, wasn't it? Truth be told, Ranko often lurked around in the shadows even when she wasn't needed during a particular scene, so she was aware of Yuuko in rehearsals even if she didn't personally know her.
Luckily, Ranko has her own very special way of breaking the ice. ]
Ahaha. I see. It's all becoming clear now. *small cackle*
Well met, fellow connoisseur of the dramatic arts! May we fulfill our appointed roles most admirably, and be showered in a floral blizzard of joyous adulation!

like...
The Rock!

[ The name sounds vaguely familiar, but Ranko can't quite place it. ]
Yes, I suppose he does remind me of an impassive golem...
So be it! 'The Rock' it is!

[ To have another guy with the same epithet... ]
but why do you want your dreams to end?
i thought he was the man of your dreams

you and i both, nyanko
these dreams have been on everyone's minds lately...
it'd be nice if they would stop waking us in the middle of the night.
[ Because really, all she's been getting are nightmares! ]
do you think they mean anything special?
no subject
[ please don't get her started on that ]
And as an aside - 'Nyanko' is merely a foolish slur upon my dreaded reputation. My true identity is that of Ranko Kanzaki, the eternally fallen!
no subject
i know. you're lady capulet, right?
it's me, yuuko!

did you just say *small cackle*
after literally typing out your laugh?
[ Now everything is suddenly clear to her, too. ]
ah, no
don't get me wrong
it's cute ♥
you break a leg too, ranko!
no subject
But indeed! May you be blessed by fortunate winds!
[ Under all that cackling, Ranko really is completely sincere in her motives. ]
