Cassies Palace 8

[21:01]	<[GM]Mary>	Last time, on Cirno's Pizzeria!
[21:02]	<[GM]Mary>	maids had baths and stuff. There may or may not have been some mild skinship involved.
[21:03]	* [Gtz]Cassie	harasses Isabel
[21:03]	<[huh]Isabella>	It wasn't rape, bevcause I enjoyed it!
[21:03]	<[GM]Mary>	Truer words never spoken, Izzy.
[21:07]	<[GM]Mary>	Well, anyway!
[21:12]	<[GM]Mary>	Let's get this show on the road. Cassibel and Victabithoria finished up their bathing and are now in... the parlor or something. There's tea and chairs and stuff. Team Enrica & Valea probably went to make breakfast/lunch or make out in the meantime.
[21:13]	* [Owen]Tabitha	looks around apathetically at first.
[21:14]	* [Owen]Tabitha	notices the presence of her Mistress and walks up to her, bowing slightly.
[21:14]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"Good day, Mistress. I trust I am more presentable to you now?"
[21:15]	* [Gtz]Cassie	sits with her legs crossed on a loveseat, looking much less caught than she was this morning. She finds a cup of tea through the wave-until-you-feel-it method and takes it into her cold hands to keep them warm.
[21:17]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	So long as you don't pass out on me. Please, take some tea, it'll keep you warm.
[21:17]	* [Gtz]Cassie	takes a sip. Cassie, for better or for worse, has bad taste in tea, and likes it much more bitter than most.
[21:18]	* [Pyg]Victoria	stands by the window staring out at the snowy mountain view.
[21:18]	* [huh]Isabella	is staring at Tabitha with interest.
[21:19]	* [Owen]Tabitha	really doesn't want any tea, but if the Mistress requests it...
[21:20]	<[Pyg]Victoria>	I've tried something a little different with the brew today, Mistress.
[21:20]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	Oh?
[21:20]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"I thank you, Miss Cassandra. However, I would appreciate you not drawing attention to my weakness. I am quite all right for the moment."
[21:21]	* [huh]Isabella	takes her own tea, and begins adding sugar.
[21:22]	* [Gtz]Cassie	shrugs and takes another delicate sip.
[21:24]	* [Owen]Tabitha	warms her cold hands on the teacup. Her poor circulation doesn't help much.
[21:24]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	Do as you wish. However, your health will be a concern of mine if you wish to live under this house. I, too, suffer from the elements more than most. I don't believe it's attributed to a vitamin K deficiency... but that doesn't matter.
[21:26]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"Very well; do as YOU wish."
[21:27]	* [Pyg]Victoria	snaps her gaze at Tabitha, but shuts up before saying anymore. The mistress can handle this herself, so she returns her gaze to the outside.
[21:27]	* [Gtz]Cassie	sighs.
[21:28]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	If you're just going to be rude, I won't bother to ask you about these things. I'm trying to work towards your benefit, but I can't force you to use common sense anymore than I can see you with my own eyes.
[21:28]	* [Gtz]Cassie	smirks just a little at the irony that she can, in fact, do one of those things and almost the other.
[21:29]	* [huh]Isabella	tastes her tea when it has about the sugar:tea ratio of simple syrup.
[21:29]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	Victoria. I'll ask you.
[21:29]	* [Gtz]Cassie	sits down her tea for a second, i.e. dramatic mundane action
[21:31]	* [huh]Isabella	does the same, for emphasis!
[21:34]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	Do you think I should hire a doctor to attend to Tabitha's condition? I don't know the extent at which it may run, but you've taken care of her quite well, and may continue to do so, unless you wish that I would assign professional help for her. Though I appreciate your work, we both know you're not a doctor. So, what do you say?
[21:36]	* [Owen]Tabitha	cannot allow her constitution to be insulted so!
[21:37]	* [Owen]Tabitha	sets down her tea a little more forcibly than she should.
[21:37]	* [Gtz]Cassie	pretends she's not being insulting at all, wagging her foot
[21:37]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"Miss Cassandra...I have told you that my condition is not in need of a doctor."
[21:38]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"Perhaps five ago; yes, I would not deny that. I was more foolish then."
[21:38]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	Is that so. Well, I wish to make sure. I have a standing rule against residents dying.
[21:39]	* [Gtz]Cassie	takes her tea again, as if it's meaningful
[21:39]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"Am I to assume residents have died on your watch before, then?"
[21:40]	* [Owen]Tabitha	is unaware that she may or may not have said anything wrong.
[21:41]	* [Gtz]Cassie	after a long silence, responds:
[21:41]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	Yeah.
[21:42]	* [Gtz]Cassie	puts away her tea and takes a deep breath, and exhales.
[21:43]	* [huh]Isabella	pats Cassie's head consolingly.
[21:43]	* [Gtz]Cassie	beams to Izzy: /Not this time. I hope not./
[21:44]	* [Tesla]Enrica	knocks on the door from the outside.
[21:44]	* [Gtz]Cassie	sends to Enrica: /Come in./
[21:44]	* [huh]Isabella	/Of course not. We learn from our mistakes. The hardest ones to bear are the ones we learn most from./
[21:45]	* [Owen]Tabitha	wonders what to say to such a statement.
[21:47]	* [Gtz]Cassie	back to Izzy: /I'll give her the fair warning, at least./
[21:47]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"That is...unfortunate. I hope that it was merely due to the stupidity of the residents, in which case I assure you I am no fool."
[21:48]	* [Tesla]Enrica	walks into the room, carrying a tray.
[21:48]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	It was out of vein valor. But anyway.
[21:48]	<[Tesla]Enrica>	Good day, Cassandra! Given it's the time, I've brought you lunch. Well, it isn't all that much, but I hope it should serve as fuel on which to graciously advance, and- oh. Sorry.
[21:49]	* [Tesla]Enrica	quiets down upon noticing the mood, and sets the tray down next to the tea.
[21:49]	<[Tesla]Enrica>	...Do you need anything else...?
[21:49]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	You're fine.
[21:49]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	But anyway.
[21:49]	* [Gtz]Cassie	focuses her attention on Tabitha
[21:52]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	That's one thing I want to tell you. Your life as you know it is in jeopardy when you step foot into this house. Something may happen to you and you may never know it did, because you'll either be dead or changed so much you'll wish you were. So I warn you. If you value your life and sanity, leave this place.
[21:53]	* [huh]Isabella	makes for the tray and begins eating.
[21:55]	* [Gtz]Cassie	sends to everyone except Tabitha: /No, she doesn't know. No, don't tell her. Yet./
[21:55]	* [Owen]Tabitha	contemplates the..."warning".
[21:57]	* [Pyg]Victoria	simply sighs as Cassandra's ominous nature rears its ugly head in once more. She takes the book out of her apron pocket and resumes reading.
[21:57]	* [Dune]Valea	hears the tone of things from the next few rooms over, and decides to cautiously approach with an empty tray. Maybe she can lighten things just a little with her trick?
[21:58]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"My life...?"
[21:58]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"I doubt my life is of much value."
[21:58]	* [Dune]Valea	enters just at that moment, silently.
[21:58]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"My sanity...?"
[21:59]	<[Pyg]Victoria>	Miss Tabitha, that's a horrible thing to say.
[21:59]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"I have heard enemies of my mother insult me before. They have called me so sane I am mad."
[21:59]	* [Gtz]Cassie	chuckles at that last bit.
[22:00]	* [Dune]Valea	then catches the tone, instantly. (Cassandra shouldn't...ah.) The completely, utterly empty tray she is holding is somewhat noticeable in its emptiness.
[22:00]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"I am here for a reason. You are not that reason. I shall stay until that reason is complete."
[22:01]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"Jeopardy? My life has been in jeopardy since I was born."
[22:01]	* [Gtz]Cassie	leans an elbow against an arm of the chair and stifles a yawn.
[22:02]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"If I were a more risky and curt lady, I would ask you to do your worst."
[22:02]	* [Gtz]Cassie	loveseat, even. you know, it's like a minicouch. I'm sure the ruskies have invented minicouches by now
[22:02]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"However, I think such a statement would be rather unbecoming of my position here. My apologies."
[22:02]	* [huh]Isabella	is sitting on the other arm, eating.
[22:03]	* [Gtz]Cassie	mentally sends an evil grin to everyone in the room
[22:03]	* [Pyg]Victoria	flinches a little, her gaze no longer on her book. What is that girl up to now?
[22:04]	* [Dune]Valea	becomes a little worried and slightly sorrowful, but ultimately she keeps her plan in mind...
[22:04]	* [Gtz]Cassie	to Isabel: /I'm feeling a little diabolical today. Well, more so than other days. You wanna mess with her a little bit?/
[22:04]	* [huh]Isabella	sends back a grin.
[22:06]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	Looks like we've got more in common than I first suspected, sister.
[22:06]	* [Dune]Valea	quietly sets down the very large and empty tray she's carrying fairly conspicuously on a central table in the room.
[22:06]	* [Gtz]Cassie	Izzy: /I kind of hate how true that is, but I bet I'm funnier./
[22:07]	* [Owen]Tabitha	bows her head.
[22:07]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"I appreciate that."
[22:07]	* [Pyg]Victoria	heaves a sigh and returns to her reading.
[22:08]	* [Owen]Tabitha	notices Valea's..."progress".
[22:08]	* [Tesla]Enrica	looks curiously at the tray, a little bewildered.
[22:09]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"If you were attempting to bestow us with confections, I believe you have failed, miss."
[22:09]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	Hmm?
[22:09]	* [Dune]Valea	suppresses a smile, as she opens a large pocket hidden away on her dress, and pulls out a pot of tea.
[22:10]	* [huh]Isabella	gives a small round of applause.
[22:10]	* [Dune]Valea	then barely manages to suppress a snicker as she proceeds to pull complete, fully prepared plates of food out of said pocket, and placing them on the tray.
[22:11]	* [huh]Isabella	takes a plate.
[22:11]	* [Tesla]Enrica	looks alternately at Valea and the tray, confused.
[22:11]	* [Owen]Tabitha	is...intrigued.
[22:11]	* [Dune]Valea	turns her head back for a moment and winks at Enrica, barely keeping a hearty laugh down.
[22:11]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"I...am impressed, Miss. What is your name again?"
[22:12]	<[Dune]Valea>	shshsh...-oh. Valea.
[22:12]	* [Tesla]Enrica	smiles, suppressing a giggle.
[22:13]	* [Dune]Valea	continues pulling out further articles of food from her pocket, including a large salad bowl. At this point, she is smiling somewhat broadly.
[22:13]	* [Gtz]Cassie	hides a snicker. To Valea: /Nice. Try not to make me laugh though, I'm not supposed to be able to notice these things./
[22:13]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"Miss Valea, perhaps you are not as incompetent as I thought. That is an excellent skill you possess."
[22:14]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"My compliments, if you will have them."
[22:14]	* [Dune]Valea	beams back a nice little box of happiness and a simple reply. /Alriiight~/
[22:14]	* [Owen]Tabitha	bows slightly to Valea.
[22:15]	* [Dune]Valea	is all smiles still as she ignores the semi-insult that preceded Tabitha's compliments, and recieves them graciously.
[22:15]	<[Dune]Valea>	Thank you very much~!
[22:16]	* [Owen]Tabitha	ignores the thanks and turns to Cassie.
[22:17]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"Sister Cassandra, would you care for some of the food Valea has prepared kindly for us?"
[22:17]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	Oh? Oh, most certainly. What do we have?
[22:18]	* [Dune]Valea	interjects lightly for a moment, to correct Tabitha's statement.
[22:18]	<[Dune]Valea>	Enrica too, you know.
[22:19]	* [Tesla]Enrica	smiles at Valea, and bows.
[22:20]	* [Dune]Valea	smiles back, and steps back from the table as her pockets (the kitchen, really~) are exhausted of food.
[22:21]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"Miss Valea, I believe you would know the menu better than I."
[22:22]	* [Dune]Valea	snaps to attention.
[22:22]	<[Dune]Valea>	oh, right! sorry~
[22:22]	<[Dune]Valea>	well, we have some tea, and salad, and...
[22:22]	<[Dune]Valea>	Enrica, 'you want to announce the rest~?
[22:23]	<[Tesla]Enrica>	Ah... hm.
[22:24]	<[Tesla]Enrica>	There's also some fish and vegetables, to top it off.
[22:24]	<[Dune]Valea>	and a little bit of fruit~.
[22:24]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	...You two have strange tastes.
[22:25]	* [Dune]Valea	is still outwardly happy from her little trick, although it's watered down just a bit by Cassie's comment.
[22:25]	<[Tesla]Enrica>	Well... there were no directions... so...
[22:25]	* [Dune]Valea	speaks with slight double meaning.
[22:25]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	Hmhm, it's fine.
[22:26]	<[Dune]Valea>	"a little something sweet would make this meal better", i thought.
[22:26]	<[Dune]Valea>	thus the fruit.
[22:30]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	I suppose so. Doesn't the saying go fruit makes you sweet, and chocolate makes you bitter?
[22:30]	* [Gtz]Cassie	takes a bit of celery, after some groping around
[22:30]	* [Dune]Valea	puts a finger to her lip, thinking for a moment.
[22:30]	* [Dune]Valea	then nods.
[22:30]	<[Dune]Valea>	yeah, something like that.
[22:32]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"What would you prefer, Miss Cassandra?"
[22:32]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	Ah. Well, I like it kind of bitter.
[22:32]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	Suits me, don't you think?
[22:32]	<[Tesla]Enrica>	If I may... no. I don't think so, actually.
[22:33]	* [Dune]Valea	Cassandra may not see it, but Valea half-frowns.
[22:33]	<[Dune]Valea>	I think we all have some sweet...
[22:36]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	Aren't they sweet, sister? That's this mansion, alright. Full of sweeties. I hope you don't have a sugar imbalance to boot, or you might have a problem on your hands.
[22:38]	* [Owen]Tabitha	lowers her eyelids just a tad, and her straight face raises at the same time.
[22:38]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"I'm quite sure I'll be fine, sister."
[22:38]	* [Gtz]Cassie	basks in the noon leer
[22:38]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"Are you partial to sweets, then?"
[22:39]	* [Dune]Valea	doesn't recognize any double-meaning in Cassie's statement if there was one, and so is slightly confused.
[22:40]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	Haah. I guess I am, or else I wouldn't keep so many around. All the sugar will be the death of me, some day.
[22:40]	* [Gtz]Cassie	celery crunch
[22:41]	* [Dune]Valea	catches that one however, and frowns slightly but remains silent.
[22:41]	* [Owen]Tabitha	notices the irony of Cassie eating celery while she says this.
[22:42]	<[Pyg]Victoria>	Enough grim thoughts, Mistress. You know we wouldn't want you dying while under our care.
[22:42]	* [Tesla]Enrica	ah... sugar. That brings up some unpleasant memories...
[22:43]	* [huh]Isabella	/You're sweet enough yourself, adding more sugar shouldn't do much./
[22:44]	* [Gtz]Cassie	/nuh-uuh. I'm bitter. Like dark chocolate. Do we have any more of that?/
[22:44]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	Oh, dying, I forgot.
[22:45]	* [Dune]Valea	still frowns, and a slight aura of discontent may be detectable from her.
[22:45]	* [huh]Isabella	/We should, I always make sure there's some around./
[22:46]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	Victoria, answer what I asked you earlier. Do you think we should hire a doctor, in the case that Tabitha has problems? We should at least contact one, anyway. One we can rely on to show up if something happens to anyone here.
[22:48]	* [Owen]Tabitha	sighs and clenches a fist at her side.
[22:48]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"I am fine, Miss. I assure you, I will be fine."
[22:49]	<[Pyg]Victoria>	I worry I won't be able to do anything to help you if something drastic were to happen, Miss Tabitha.
[22:49]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"No doctor can, either. Can a doctor make my body clot its blood faster?"
[22:50]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"Can a doctor mold together a split bone like clay?"
[22:50]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"Your solution is simple, if you are insistent on finding one for me."
[22:51]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	It isn't the bleeding or broken bones that will kill you. They can, but they probably won't. It's your weakened immune system and the frigid temperatures that will do you in.
[22:51]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"Vitamin K. If I consume enough Vitamin K, perhaps my condition may be slightly improved. I doubt it will be alleviated, however."
[22:52]	* [Dune]Valea	continues to keep silent now in her crestfallen state, and keeps to the side of the room.
[22:52]	<[Tesla]Enrica>	Hmm... may I say something?
[22:52]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"You clearly do not understand what a lack of vitamin K does to a body, Miss Cassandra."
[22:52]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"I do."
[22:53]	* [Gtz]Cassie	sighs.
[22:53]	* [huh]Isabella	sits quietly. All this talk is above her, and the tone is making her feel uncomfortable.
[22:53]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"My immune system itself remains uncompromised."
[22:53]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	Enrica?
[22:54]	* [Dune]Valea	looks at Enrica, curious.
[22:55]	<[Pyg]Victoria>	Then if she's confident she can get on without a doctor, I suppose we won't need one. I'll try to read up on her condition when I can, though.
[22:55]	<[Tesla]Enrica>	I hope not to offend you, miss Tabitha, but as you say, a doctor is not a magician. One cannot fix a body's ills by himself. However...
[22:55]	<[Tesla]Enrica>	As a human being, neither can he influence a mind that's resigned itself to fate or chance. That is something that cannot be done by any person other than it's owner.
[22:57]	* [Dune]Valea	opens her eyes a bit in surprise at the forwardness of Enrica's statement, and is in slight awe.
[22:58]	* [Gtz]Cassie	breathes to Enrica: /As a human being. You forget what you are amongst. But anyhow./
[22:59]	* [Owen]Tabitha	urges Enrica to get to the point.
[23:00]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"Are you intending on saying anything useful to me anytime soon, Miss Enrica?"
[23:01]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"There is much work to be done in this mansion, I am sure. I must be getting to it before long."
[23:01]	* [Tesla]Enrica	responds to the animosity.
[23:01]	<[Tesla]Enrica>	...If you've resigned yourself to your fate and convinced yourself that you are nowhere and will go nowhere, I believe you'll do exactly that.
[23:01]	* [Dune]Valea	senses the hostility and conflict, and is still amazed by Enrica's strength of will, here.
[23:01]	<[Tesla]Enrica>	And if, in the end, that is everywhere you are and you have been, then what's the point?
[23:02]	* [Dune]Valea	meekly attempts support.
[23:02]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	Haaah. Seems like all my little sweeties are so very stubborn.
[23:02]	<[Dune]Valea>	um...i have to agree...
[23:03]	* [Gtz]Cassie	finishes off her tea and puts down the cup. This sort of talking getting boring.
[23:04]	* [Gtz]Cassie	puts an arm around Izzy.
[23:04]	* [Gtz]Cassie	beams to her: /I'm glad you aren't as full of shit as we are. I might go insane./
[23:05]	* [huh]Isabella	/Full of shit?/
[23:06]	* [Dune]Valea	is a little uncomfortable, now, and fidgets a tiny bit in place.
[23:06]	* [Owen]Tabitha	turns back to Enrica.
[23:06]	* [Pyg]Victoria	shuts her book with a sharp clap.
[23:07]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"Did I say nowhere? No; no I did not."
[23:07]	<[Pyg]Victoria>	I'll agree with Miss Tabitha that we indeed still have work to do. Is there anything you'll need of me before I resume my duties, Mistress?
[23:10]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"I can only assume my grim tone leads you to think my outlook is grim as well?"
[23:10]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	Oh, work? There isn't much. I'd appreciate it if someone could take a look around the place and make sure nothing's wrong, though. Also, Tabitha, you should find yourself a room to stay in. You can use any that no one else is; we got plenty left, so take your pick.
[23:10]	* [huh]Isabella	raises her hand.
[23:10]	<[Tesla]Enrica>	That was my impression, yes. Was I mistaken?
[23:11]	* [Gtz]Cassie	Isabel: /People often make up things for themselves and refuse to believe anything but that, even if they know in their hearts it isn't true. It's kind of hard to explain. I can't say with any certainty I'm not guilty of it myself./
[23:11]	<[huh]Isabella>	I can show Tabby a good room, then.
[23:11]	<[Gtz]Cassie>	Ah, thank you, Izzy.
[23:12]	* [Owen]Tabitha	cannot muster a better response than:
[23:12]	<[Pyg]Victoria>	Very well, I'll look around then.
[23:12]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"I believe so."
[23:12]	* [Pyg]Victoria	gives the Mistress a bow before stepping out.
[23:13]	<[Tesla]Enrica>	My apologies, then. May I then inquire as to your perspective?
[23:13]	* [Gtz]Cassie	before she leaves, sends to Victoria: /Actually, I want you to go ahead and look up a doctor that we can contact around the clock. You can do it later if you want, but I'd like it if you found somebody today. Take the car if you must./
[23:14]	* [Owen]Tabitha	's face grows more grim than usual.
[23:14]	<[Pyg]Victoria>	&#12298;As you wish, Mistress.&#12299;
[23:15]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"You may, but...I cannot say what it is at the moment."
[23:15]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"Time...time is what I need for the moment."
[23:15]	<[Tesla]Enrica>	...Alright.
[23:16]	* [Tesla]Enrica	beams to Cassandra: /Sorry. I realize I'm a little too stubborn about my philosophy./
[23:16]	* [Gtz]Cassie	/It's fine. Just don't be surprised if I heckle you./
[23:16]	* [huh]Isabella	tugs at Tabitha's sleeve.
[23:16]	* [Dune]Valea	stands a little sheepishly beside Enrica, having remained silent for a good deal of the time.
[23:17]	<[huh]Isabella>	I'll show you a good room then.
[23:17]	* [Tesla]Enrica	/I don't think that would be too bad, though.../
[23:17]	* [Owen]Tabitha	focuses on the silly little fairy.
[23:18]	* [Gtz]Cassie	thinks to Valea: /Valea. Stay here. We need to talk. About you./
[23:18]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"Will you now? That is kind of you."
[23:20]	* [Dune]Valea	stops fidgeting for a moment, and then resumes even more so. She nods as she returns a message. /U-mm...alright.../ Being nervous, she nearly materializes several souls by accident, but manages to largely suppress the reaction.
[23:22]	* [Gtz]Cassie	/That too./
[23:23]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	"You make continue with the showing then, little one."
[23:23]	<[Owen]Tabitha>	[* may]
[23:24]	* [Dune]Valea	's heart skips a beat and her eyes widen their gaze upon Cassandra in utter shock. (She...knows? How?)
[23:24]	* [Gtz]Cassie	/Have fun, Izzy. If you can convince her to sleep on the spiked bed, I'll think of something awesome for you./
[23:25]	* [huh]Isabella	/YAY/
[23:25]	* [Dune]Valea	stands still as a statue or ramrod while a slight nervous sweat breaks out.
[23:25]	* [Gtz]Cassie	. o (hehe. I'll think of something awesome anyway.)
