[ so very dictated, this time without wounds to her pride. ]

It's difficult to imagine that something so beautiful can be capable of something like removing us from our homes and making us suffer losses. The only reassurance I have is that I am not the only one from home here and even then I am not sure I should be thankful for that.

[ The journal picks up the sound of grass crunching under feet as she continues; ]

It would seem I owe some of you an apology. I was told that I have been here before but, no matter how hard I try, I cannot remember anything. I know that it is entirely out of my own hands but, if we were acquainted before, I apologize for not remembering you. With that said, I suppose an introduction is in order. Or, well, a reintroduction.

My name is Elena, of Gawant.

[ scribble, scribble. someone is trying this filtering thing out since all of the cool kids seems to be doing it. ]

Arthur and Gwaine,

It is Elena. Are you both able to read my writing? Someone told me that, should I only want to talk to a single person, I could try this. This is.. quite an interesting castle, isn't it? Once I am settled I was hoping to spend more time in the kitchen, but I also wanted to visit the town.

It's almost refreshing being here now, though I am sure my opinion may change in the future. For now, it is nice not having to worry about duty and obligation.

It is, I wasn't sure if it was wise to use my title here.

[squartatore]

[notes the addition to her original message --]

I didn't recognize it. Which might not necessarily a bad thing, if you were in danger back home. [because a title would connote assassins, or at least people who might wish her harm, Sayaka thinks]

[clumsiness]

[ Saves her from having to explain things repeatedly. ]

Oh, no, I wasn't in danger. At least not that I was aware of.

[squartatore]

Then why not use your title?

lmao the thread below -- ilu guys.

[clumsiness]

It isn't every day that a princess wakes up in a magical castle.

Though I imagine it would make for quite a story. I wanted to be sure of where I was first.

ilu too. both of you.

[squartatore]

[there are so many openings for sass, she's at a loss as to where to start]

And now you are. It's a start.

[clumsiness]

And much less strange than it probably should be.

[squartatore]

People here are mostly well-adjusted, as much as that's possible. [sometimes to annoying extents] You're in good company.

[herself excluded...but the really terrible ones are lying low for now, which has to count for something]

[clumsiness]

What did you think of it? When you first found yourself here.

[squartatore]

[... ... ...]

I was...deeply confused. [being dead and back in a spindly human body and all that nonsense. y e p.] A lot's happened since then.

[clumsiness]

Do you find yourself confused still?

[ baw, if only she knew. she wouldn't keep up with the twenty questions. ]

[squartatore]

In some ways. [why is she still staying in this conversation???] It helps to have people you know with you, the castle likes springing surprises on us.

[clumsiness]

[ because she's secretly a social butterfly? ]

Several people from my world are here and have been for several months, so I hope you are right.

[squartatore]

[lies! That is a thing of the past!]

They'd be better than me at understanding what you could need, anyway.

[clumsiness]

Nonsense, I think you have been very helpful -- and I appreciate it.

[squartatore]

[this is strangely baffling]

Don't mention it. Just don't be too surprised if your name still leads to mixups.

[clumsiness]

Now that I am aware, I won't be nearly as surprised in the future. Thank you.
