So. It's December! For all of you newbies, that means it's about the time of year where the castle starts playing matchmaker yet again. Every year so far there's been some kind of enchanted decoration around the castle that forces people to kiss each other. Good luck trying to avoid it, that stuff is everywhere. Literally.

With that in mind, things can get a little complicated in your love life during this trying time. Maybe you'll accidentally kiss someone your best friend likes in front of them! Maybe you'll kiss someone and realize you actually had feelings for them after all. Or maybe you'll kiss your worst enemy and realize it wasn't actually that bad.

So, I'll be putting a little box at my door -- that's room 405, for anyone who didn't know -- for anyone who needs some anonymous advice about what to do about their newfound feelings, the awkwardness that ensues, or whatever. Trust me, I'm sure at least one couple will hook up before Christmas rolls around. It's a little bit sad that it takes enchanted ornaments to get the love flowing, really, but what can you do?

Have fun~ ♥

[lucky for him, she knows plenty of his type :')]

Still, I hope she shows up soon! I know I'd be pretty sad if my boyfriend left.

[bitter laugh is bitter]

Sorry, she left me first.

[ino]

Eh? What is that supposed to mean?

[originalcopy]

It means she said goodbye and took off.

She can't be sad I'm gone if she's the one who left first.

[ino]

She could. Just because she did it first doesn't mean that it didn't suck.

[originalcopy]

What are you, her lawyer?

Look, it doesn't matter now anyway.

[ino]

Lawyer? But I didn't say anything about laws ... [CONFUSED]

[originalcopy]

[sigh]
I mean coming to her defense like that... look, just forget it ok.

[ino]

Oh. [she pauses] Sorry, we don't have that stuff where I come from.

[originalcopy]

You don't have lawyers... man, it must be nice and sane where you come from.

[ino]

[lol, church ...]

I live in a ninja village. Usually crimes are punishable by death or exile or something like that.

[originalcopy]

Woah, ninja... as in ki-ya, I kick your ass, ninja.

Guess that explains the lack of lawyers.

[ino]

I've never heard anyone say "ki-ya", but yes, we do kick a pretty decent amount of ass.

From what I understand they're kind of a recent Earth invention.

[originalcopy]

Recent? We've had lawyers for centuries.
Way back when we were still just stuck on Earth.

[ino]

Stuck on it?

... Ohhh, you're one of those space guys. Like York?

[originalcopy]

Yeah... like York.

[ino]

Oh? Are you guys friends, then?

[originalcopy]

No.. we're not friends.

One, we just met... I don't even really know the guy.
Two, he's a Freelancer... Freelancers are nothing but bad news.

[ino]

Really? He seems like a pretty cool guy to me.

[originalcopy]

Until, someone offers him enough money. Freelancers are mercenaries, they work for whoever pays the best.

I'm sure he seems like a great guy... but he's not on the clock.

[Church actually kind of likes him too, not that he's going to admit to it.]

[ino]

Well, money doesn't really mean much here, if you haven't noticed. And there's not a whole lot of work, either.

[originalcopy]

You're kind of missing the point of.. "will slit your throat in your sleep if it's convenient".

Where I'm from that sort of thing makes you not very trustworthy.

[ino]

He couldn't slit my throat. That suit is way too clunky and loud, I'd get him long before he got me. [ahhh, ninjas]

[originalcopy]

Missing... the ... point...

[ino]

Besides, he's been here almost as long as me and he's never done anything like that.
