Hey. We've got a lotta new people this month, huh? For anyone who's new, I'm Sheena. I think the guide answers just about every question, but I've been here for a really long time, so if anyone wanted to ask, I'm okay with answering about stuff.

I was thinking about trying out that battle arena thing. Anyone done it already and wanna tell me what it was like? If it's like the coliseum I dunno about trying it.

What would you guys think about having a winter, uh, festival thing like we did a couple years ago?

[Yuri]
I met your crazy rival.

[Raine]
Hey, are you up for visitors? I know it's gonna get late soon...but hopefully Albert'll forgive me.

[She won't be going anywhere. Well, maybe zoning out a bit again when Sheena wanders off, but that shouldn't be too much of a surprise.]

[corrinesbell]

[she'll be gone for a little while this time. As long as there aren't any surprise pitfalls under the floor, though, things should be good]

[wise_maiden]

[No surprise traps. It's possible that Raine may have a word with her housemates in the meanwhile, if they happen to check in, but otherwise not much has changed by the time Sheena returns.]

[corrinesbell]

[and so she will sit. With a much smaller tea than what she brought for Raine.]

You can talk, you know. This doesn't have to be all about me.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Sometimes I think I'm just as guilty of not talking about stuff as you are.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

It... doesn't have to be anything personal if you're not comfortable with it. Just... anything.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[maybe she wants conversation to distract herself with. Of course, that means Sheena's going to have one heck of a time coming up with anything useful.]

I guess you could always use a broom.

[wise_maiden]

If it were as simple as just using a broom, I would already have a weapon by now. ... But I grew to prefer the staves that we had begun to gather around from our traveling. I don't know if you or the others were able to really sense it, but some of the weapons we found had ... remarkable properties. Using something ordinary just doesn't have the same feeling, so I don't feel as mentally prepared.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah, I could tell. None of those cards've ever showed up here though.

...I guess it'd be fair to let you ask me fifty questions now, if you wanted. [grin.]

[action]

[wise_maiden]

I did sort of... specifically ask that some of them be brought in, if that had been possible. [And it's obvious how well those requests are going.] But there's always a possibility some have turned up in the shops and you've missed them?

I wouldn't even know where to start, Sheena.

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah, maybe. Or someone else picked them up before I got to them.

Well I didn't mean you had to interrogate me or something. Just...I dunno.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

I doubt there are many who'd know how to use your weapons. Though there's a chance they might not be in the weapon shop...

Just... talking, then?

[action]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah.
