Hiya, everybody! Gee, I'm sorry that I've been so quiet fer so long... Minnie got a real bad case of the... whatever-ya-wanna-call-it that was goin' 'round, so I was spendin' every second of every day helpin' her get better.

Now that she's up and at 'em, I figure I should get ta know everyone here better, since it looks like we're all gunna be stuck here a while. So let's make this interestin'... gimmie yer name, and somethin' about yerself that makes ya totally different than anybody else!

I'll start off! My name is Mickey Mouse, and I'm a King! Yer turn!

Don't put yerself down so much! Ya help give them a reason ta fight. I bet they're really grateful ta have ya nearby.

[take a compliment, darnit.]

[NO WAY DUDE it's an emotional point of contention for her ;;]

Maybe. We do have a lot of fun together. [She had never asked them their opinion on it, honestly.] It's just hard to keep up with them sometimes.

Have ya ever let them know it's not easy ta try and catch up?

[sorcery_fledgling]

[IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE.]

Actually I have. It's... a long story, but there's a war going on back home, and I was so afraid of what was going to happen, of not being able to keep up with them when the battles came. They said they were going ahead, and gave me the choice of whether to come along or not. I did, and I'm glad they gave me the choice, but... I just hate being the outsider.

The fact that chose ta come along already proves yer not an outsider. They've kept ya along this far, that must mean they want ta keep ya by their side. Yer part of a team, part of a group of friends. That's a bond that nothin' can break.

[sorcery_fledgling]

...You think so? I've never thought of it that way before.

[takesyoubytheheart]

Ya gotta believe in yerself, cause I bet yer friends already do.

[sorcery_fledgling]

Well, they certainly seem to think I can keep up. I guess that's a start!
