[ Cute...

Folds her arms and considers. ]

Hm... The mysterious journal, perhaps?

[ordimame]

[ah]

The one written by "Anzen," right?

[tailsofwoe]

Correct.

[ Reciting from memory: ] "Wow, these little guys sure do like me. Even when I'm with the others, they'll always come after me first. Whew! Really keeps me on my toes, you know? But that's a good thing. It makes it a lot easier to keep the others safe."

[ A beat of pause. ]

... Does that mean anything to you?

[ordimame]

[simply!]

Not a damn thing.

. . . you think the "little guys" are more ghosts?

[tailsofwoe]

"Keeps me on my toes," "keeps the others safe"... That seems like a reasonable assumption to make, yes.

. . . I may not be great in a fight, but I am pretty good at running away.

[ Laughs, though it's a bit dry and mirthless. ]

I could say the same of myself. Perhaps that was the common link between our group all this time.

[ordimame]

[equally as dry]

Survival instincts? Maybe we're all the type to survive a slasher flick! I'll take that compliment.

[ Dramatically throws an arm over her face. ]

A gorgeous star like me, relegated to B movie obscurity... What a disastrous miscast.

[ordimame]

Hey, sometimes B movies are hidden works of art, you know!

[man with bad taste in movies]

[tailsofwoe]

... I will make a note to get you on some real cinema...

[ordimame]

[HEY!!]

I like plenty of real cinema!!

[tailsofwoe]

For example?

[ordimame]

[for example? FOR EXAMPLE??]

Not that I need to prove myself to you, but I know of a great film where the main character beats up all of the bad guys with nothing but a pair of chopsticks. It's heartwarming! And the action scenes always keep you on the edge of your seat!

[tailsofwoe]

. . .

Well, art is all in the eye of the beholder.

[ordimame]

[forlornly]

And some people just don't understand art. . .
