((Written;))
I must say, this really is quite a funny place. Wizards and fools and all the like from children's fairy tales that I'm sure we all so dearly loved once upon a time. Then again! I'm sure there are many of us who still enjoy them. Aside from that, we have people coming into our lives and suddenly existing inside of them for a week or so. Talk about a bumpy ride, don't you think? And a glimpse of our own worlds with a friend or two... have I missed anything...? Well, as far as the Malnosso go, and their direct influence over us... Likely not.

As for how we interact, hmm... It seems popular to ask questions of everyone around here; who's where, what do you feel about this or that, where are you from.... That is one way to meet people. I should ((...)) probably work on that. Two months here and it looks like the Malnosso are fond enough of me to keep me around. I'm sure they find those of us here vastly entertaining in all our mundane routines.

If only sarcasm bled as well as the ink that wrote it, and if only I had a satisfactory and interesting question to provide to all of you.

A pity, really . . .

Why Kotomi-chan, if I might ask?

It's so I can recognize bullies. A bully would never call me 'Kotomi-chan', so if all my friends will call me that, then I can know if someone is a friend or not.

[ this seems.. really logical to her.. ]

((Implying Clive was no bully, first of all. Though, in a sense, he's honoured... So a smile as he writes.))

Ah-ha! I see your meaning. Bullies really are awful in that sense; endearments have never really been their thing. Kotomi-chan it is, then!

I hope you haven't been getting any trouble with bullies around here, though.

[ Sob, she just decides people aren't bullies or are bullies from the very start, no matter whether they actually are or not.. ]

There have been a few problems, but not a lot. It's since there are a lot of strong people who fight bullies here.

Well, I'm glad for you, then! And thankful to those more just than others. It's a nice change of pace.

You don't like bullies either?

Not in the slightest, no. Those who pick upon the weak are villains of the worst kind, and I've always sought to bring them to justice.

I'm glad there's someone else who fights bullies too here now.. maybe you could start an anti-bully squad.

Well, I may appreciate the offer, I don't think someone such as myself would make a very good leader, particularly not of such an organization. I'm a much better follower. ((Oh wait are these lies? Oh yes! Yes these are lies...!!))

[ rude, don't lie to the oblivious girl..!! ]

But if one was started, you'd follow it?

((Clive is always secretly rude...))

Perhaps. Quite likely! At least at first to see that it weren't corrupt.

But why would it be corrupt? They're fighting off bullies, right? People who fight bullies would never be corrupt.

People with power tend to become corrupt. Those who fight off bullies are less likely so, though, but I've seen just causes go sour.

But if they'll become corrupt, then they'll be bullies as well. So will it be bullies fighting off bullies then?

It's possible.

I think that sounds horrible.. I don't want any bullies to be around at all.

So is the world.

((...))

But! Surround yourself with truly good people, and you're unlikely to encounter them. It seems you've already taken excellent measures to prevent their arrival.

Of course. I'll try to protect myself against bullies the best I can so other people won't have to do it for me.. I wouldn't want to be a bother on them.

A wonderful resolution, I say! I would say you've taken the first step to becoming a very admirable person.

... [ there's a pause before she writes again, almost visibly surprised despite it only being text. ]

A very admirable person?

Of course! I'm not one to lie about these things. ((Or maybe he is 8|aa))

Thank you.

[ she smiles to herself, genuinely believing it all the same. ]

I'll try hard to become an even more admirable person..

I await the stories of your adventures down this road eagerly.
