[starhipped]

Things have been very busy.. the last few weeks seem to be a blur!

[For some reason, it seems like she can't really remember all that went on in her life the last few weeks lolhiatus. Still! It was unpleasant that she can remember, despite her missing home terribly and a certain derpy priest. Whatever the fairy tale things going on were, she wasn't involved. And the lobsters disappeared!

Still, she wants to stay in touch with others!]

The season has changed, mostly. The flowers are starting to bloom even more than they did in spring - this place is so green, it's starting to remind me of Rome in the summer.

[Just an observation. She looks uncertain, almost as though talking about home is a guilty pleasure.]

I was wondering .. how everyone is, after that last event that the castle threw at us.

Comments

[spongetastic]

Esther... Glad to know you're still here. [he feels compelled to keep up with all the people Abel knew]

[starhipped]

Ah, Peter, yes? I was wondering. Have you been well?

[spiritusaequitas]

Livin' outside th' castle's definitely got its perks, Sister. That last wave've crazy missed me an' Connor entirely.

You doin' alright? Been a while since we heard from ya.

[inafadingcrown]

Well enough. Troublesome as recent events were, no lasting harm was done.

[spongetastic]

Yeah, I'm fine. How about you?

[starhipped]

I see. It seemed to miss me as well, though I don't understand why...

[She blinks at his question and offers a weary smile.]

Yes, of course. Things moved .. quickly, for me.

[starhipped]

A-Ah, my Lady!

[Is that the right thing to call her? In any case:]

I am glad you are well!

[starhipped]

I try to keep busy! Doing various things.. But I am well.

Were you affected by the last wave of .. strangeness from the Castle?

[midget]

....Ooooh, so you are still around.

Interesting.

[starhipped]

I beg your pardon?

[inafadingcrown]

['My Lady' is exactly right! Not that she'd insist on the formalities here.]

And how have you fared since last we spoke?

[starhipped]

Well enough. But I've been worried about others! Things have been very .. strange, lately.

[inafadingcrown]

[She laughs a little at that.] Such things are to be expected here, I fear.

[starhipped]

Were you or your friends affected, my Lady?

[midget]

Just a villain musing to herself, girl.

[inafadingcrown]

Yes on both counts, alas.

[spongetastic]

Afraid so.

[starhipped]

What was it all about? Reading the journal .. I'm not sure I understand.

[starhipped]

I'm sorry, that must have been difficult! It seemed like it would be stressful...

[starhipped]

You don't seem like a villain.

[Blink, blink.]

[midget]

....You used to be afraid of me!

What happened!?

[ ...Eva doesn't know that Esther's probably come and gone since then. /sigh ]

[spiritusaequitas]

Did they? ... What've you been up to, then?

[starhipped]

Well...

[She thinks and then looks a little confused. But she doesn't want to show him her alarm.]

Y-You know! This and that!

[starhipped]

I'm sure we haven't met before...

[/sob. Esther would be afraid of you if she knew that you were scary!]

[midget]

I'm hurt, Esther. Don't you remember when I drove Abel to attack the city? [ That had been a loss, actually. ] Or threatened to kill you and all you hold dear? [ That never actually happened. ] Or froze Abel in a giant block of ice for being difficult? [ ....Okay, that one happened. Multiple times. ]
