[action/anon text] - Struggles - 020 [Backdated to afternoon of 4/2]

Gnomeday, Gnome Redecan 02, ND 2018

[The first thing Guy noticed upon waking up was how unbelievably sore he was.

The second? The barrier on Zelda's bed was gone. He could easily tell - he'd sprawled out a bit as he started to wake up, mixed up in the covers and the remains of the uniform he had last remembered wearing. He hummed wearily, giving a confused and clouded glance around the room as he propped himself to his elbows.

Had he fallen into a coma again? Guy grimaces, rubbing a crick in the back of his neck. He'd left Zelda here alone like this again, of all times? Damn it. How long had he been out?

Worrying wasn't going to help matters, though. He heaves himself out of bed, stretching his arms above him, straightening his back, and adjusting his clothes enough so that he could wander the house without being too embarrassed coming across another housemate (if they were awake by now.) He pads across the floor with bare feet, descending the staircase about halfway before finally bother to call out.]

"...Zelda? Hey, are you around...?"

----

[It's only after he' had a good share of time to talk to Zelda and get his bearings that Guy finally picks up his SFC, opting to keep himself anonymous this time around. There was too much that had happened while he was gone. It would just be nice to get a general sense of the city, if anything else.]

Breaking the ice around strangers is pretty hard, isn't it? I know we all have to do it all the time around here, with everyone coming and going. But it doesn't make it any easier.

Some people take to it easier than others, though. And I'm sure some of you have learned ways to interact with a new person just by being in this crazy place.

So tell me, Vatheon. How would you treat a stranger?

Well, you must be a pretty easy person to get along with, then, right?

So. What's your secret?

Maybe? I think it's rare to someone that I don't like so I guess I get along with a lot of people!

[If there was that one person, it would be Ghetsis after all! So when she heard his next question, she was a little confused.]

Secret? There is no secret, I just act like myself! That's all there to it! If there is a secret, I don't know it so you'll have to tell me!

I don't know - not many people can say they make friends just by being themselves. Although, between you and me, I think that's simply a trap that they put themselves into.

Or maybe you're just lucky~

Oh? What do you mean by that?

I wouldn't say that I'm lucky though! I don't really see anything about being lucky to being myself!

[Pause]

...Is it something to be lucky about?

I mean that some people are scared to be honest about themselves, especially in front of other people. Some might even pretend to be something else just to earn someone else's favor. It's really tricky like that.

And I think it's lucky in the fact that you come by it so naturally. It's admirable.

But why would they do that? It just means that they're not happy if they're not being honest and when people find out, it would make them sad!

[Pause] Well, whoever this person is, I know that the first time I'm going to do is be their friend! No one deserves to feel like that and it's just not right!

[Really, Bianca never thought of herself as lucky. In fact, it might get her into trouble. Her father did mention once that her naive nature would get her into trouble. Bianca didn't think it was true but...it did get her pokemon stolen...but then again...she met a lot of friends!

Hm...]

...You really think so?

They might be sad, yeah. Or they might feel like they don't belong, But I think that, if there's people around that think like that, that they would really benefit from a friend like you. Someone to teach them to be honest with themselves and not be scared.

And yeah, of course! I wouldn't have said so if I didn't.

Yeah, that's right! Maybe I could teach them how to be honest and be much more happier somehow. I just hope that I can be their friend or else I'll be pretty sad too!

Then I'll make it my job to befriend everyone here in Vatheon! It would means that everyone will be happy to have one friend here. Just watch, I will do it!

[Good luck with that Bianca]

Sounds like a pretty intense mission. Good luck with that.

I honestly wouldn't have expected you to be so outgoing, though.

Speaking of which, I wonder how many people are here anyway...maybe 100 or so?

[Oh boy, Bianca's going to have it tough!]

Hm? Why not? Isn't being outgoing a good thing too?

Close. I guess it depends if you count the residents and the scientists.

And of course it is. It's just surprising to see it so openly from you.

Oh that's right, the residents too. Well, it just means I better get started soon!

[However, as Bianca read the next few words, she kept staring at it. Hey, wait a minute.]

...You know, it isn't funny to keep yourself hidden from me! Do you know me from somewhere?

Edited (You saw no fail ) 2013-04-17 03:08 (UTC)

You could say that.

Isn't a little bit of mystery fun once in a while, though?

[You only made her curious!]

But not only if I don't know who it is! Can you give me a hint? I'll be just like a game and I'll have to guess who you are!

So pretty please, just one hint? :(

[But it's been two years...]

[He almost said "We both live in Vatheon."

But that would be too mean. He'll give a little.]

Well, let's see.

Last I checked, we both had the same color of hair.

So we're both blond? But that doesn't tell me anything!

[She knows too many people with blond hair! Let's see...]

Zelda? Is that you? ...Did I get that right?

[Oooooo so close.]

Sorry. I'm not much of a princess.

Try again

Are you sure? I think you could be a princess if you tried!

[But if it isn't Zelda, then who else could it be?]

...Shiemi...? Did I get it right this time?

[No way, Bianca, he isn't cut for being a princess! But a Count, on the other hand---]

Pretty cold, actually.

Third time's the charm?

Not Shiemi? Oooohhhh!

I know I'll get it eventually!

[But if she was cold this time, it meant that the person on the other end must be really close to Zelda! Let's see....who else is blond and is close to Zelda?

Wait for it...]

[Almost there....!]

[Wait for it........!]

[................................]

Guy? Is that you?

[There's a quick switch to video, Guy giving a quick smirk and a wink before cutting it back to text.]

Friendly AND smart. Clearly you shouldn't have any trouble making more friends.
