Room 4

You find yourselves in a well acquainted parlor while the storm rages on outside. Mother's voice resounds from somewhere unseen.

"Dear Mother will be with you in a moment, my children. But until then, please do try to become well acquainted with one another."

[You'll find a small dance card tucked into the pocket of your outfit. It has on it a description of your role. Please refer to the DP journal for a post locked to your team with the contents of your card.]

E-emperor...?! Wow . . . !

I'm Natsume--ah. [looks at card] I mean, Lady A. Alymer Gartland.

Just for the game.

Oh, right. How lucky . . .

[looks at notes and looks back up]

I'm sorry if I'm not very good at this. I guess we can try to ask questions maybe . ..

Um.

Sorry if they're... too personal.

Do you have a family?

[ . . . right. Game. ]

I don't really know. I've been too busy. Um, are families important to you?

No. I left my dad very young. He was bad.

Um... so what is important?

Learning . . . about the world. The people in this world. What is important to them.

Um... do you have church or anything?

I would rather visit them, I think.

So... you're not involved?

[shakes head]

I'm not a part of one, no. Are you?

[sighs a little]

No.

[nodnod]

Do you... try to get people to like you?

[irl yes]

In a way. I don't think I'm really the problem so much as my master . . .

Why?

His habits seem to bother people.

So it's harder to have friends?

[oops more rl pings]

. . . Maybe.

I'm not really good at it either. I remember one, but she died.

Mmm. I didn't have anyone while growing up.

I'm the same.

Sorry. It can be hard.

[nods]

I'm sorry too. But there are friends now.

...Maybe we could be.
