I've still got your dagger. If you're not busy I can drop it off at your room.

[ She mulled over this for a while during that Pokemon world. Jenny intrigued her on various levels and she certainly didn't mind her company when they had run into each other. It was nice a breath of fresh air to be able to talk to another woman about the castle's mysteries and the residents without passing off as too nosy. Of course, Jenny could just be feigning ignorance of Kate's perceptiveness.

Either way, Brock and Molotov's wedding invite said bringing a plus one was fine. There was no way she was going to ask Renee; too many uneasy feelings made her feel on edge.

After a long pause, she dictates: ]

Got any plans on the twenty-ninth?


I wonder if filmmakers would kill for whatever it was that happened with the library a while ago. Who needs 3D when you can experience your favorite story with all five senses? Then again, it would have been much preferred had the history book I borrowed not stuck me in a corset.

Anyway, out of curiosity... how many world changes have there been in total here?

[ And for anyone wandering into the game room, Kate's seated in there, focused more on her journal than the movie that she paused anyway. ]

Comments

[assassino]

No? I'm surprised. This place has many beautiful women.

[gevurah]

I'm not their type. Most, at least. [ Not too many bi or lesbian ladies. ] But I've got a plus one for Brock's wedding.

[assassino]

We live in a strange world when a woman as beautiful as you cannot convince them.

[But no matter.]

I am going to their wedding as well.

[gevurah]

[ Aha, she smiles on her end. ]

Friend of the groom or bride?

[assassino]

Both, I suppose, though I am closer with the bride. We have not known each other for long.

[gevurah]

Weddings are rare here. Did they tell you what to wear?

[assassino]

Molotov had very, very specific instructions. My friend Stephanie is going to help my date and I get ready, as neither of us knows what we are doing.

[gevurah]

As long as neither of you aren't wearing white or your date is out-dressing the bride, it should be fine.

Who are you taking?

[assassino]

Compared to what most women wear here, I think anything from our time would be outdressing her... but my friend will ensure we do not make any missteps, regardless.

Her name is Cristina Vespucci.

[gevurah]

Friend you met here? Or someone from home?

[assassino]

From home.

[gevurah]

We don't get too many Italians for some reason.

[assassino]

Well, since I have arrived, the people from Italia in my time have been myself, my sister Claudia, my lover Cristina, and Lucrezia Borgia. I know there is also a man named Damon Salvatore here who speaks Italian, but I believe he lives in the Americas.

[gevurah]

Oh, girlfriend. [ Not just any friend.

Also note to self: don't tell Ezio about Jersey Shore. ]

[assassino]

Pardon?

[gevurah]

Your lover, I mean. Girlfriend is a common term.

[assassino]

Oh. I think I have heard that before, but I did not now how it was used. What, then, is the difference between a girlfriend who is a lover and a girlfriend who is both girl and friend?

[gevurah]

Intimacy with the former. [ A pause. ] Usually.

[assassino]

I see. But how does one know the difference?

[gevurah]

Most associate girlfriend with someone you're dating. Intimate with physically and... emotionally.

[assassino]

I see...

Well, Cristina is my girlfriend, then.

[gevurah]

I look forward to meeting her.

[assassino]

I will be sure to introduce you. She's incredible.

[gevurah]

How is she finding this place?

[assassino]

Difficult, I imagine. It is for anyone from our time, and there were... complications, but she seems happy to me.
