[ And here's one Yuri Nakamura, wearing a princely outfit as she side-eyes the screen, looking pretty baffled by the situation. If only because wow, all of you people are acting completely insane. ]

Raise your hand if you're acting normal. And by normal, I mean, not acting Shakespearian or like those fairy tales in books.

I just want a count of hands to see how many of you idiots are still sane.

Comments

[uneulogized]

Sane's debatable, but I'm keeping my Shakespearean activities on the DL.

[leadthebeats]

Well, that at least is good.

[eggplantier]

I'm raising my hand really high right now. I would record it but that seems like too much.

[leadthebeats]

What, is your hand as tall as a building or something?

[eggplantier]

I'm actually below average height for my age! I don't know why I know that, but I am.

Anyway, I mean more like, recording myself raising my hand would be too much. Unless you need really stringent proof that I don't think I'm a medieval princess.

[leadthebeats]

Well, I guess that's acceptable. And how tall are you, anyway?

[geminated_man]

Here. Me. No idea what the fuck is goin' on. Not gonna complain, though. Loads of ladies in sexy little outfits. I'm havin' the time of me life.

[leadthebeats]

Oh, really? Guess you're out of luck then, since my outfit isn't sexy at all.

[notjohnsmith]

Reporting in.

[leadthebeats]

Are you sure you're really sane? After all, you did kiss someone when you told me you didn't have a girlfriend.

[ Sorry, Kyon, but she's gutting this for all she's got. ]

[notjohnsmith]

That was an action with a specific purpose. You can drag someone out of a sinking ship without being a sailor. You can shield yourself from a sword-stroke without being considered a samurai, or guess what the future holds without claiming to be an oracle. Titles like that don't have anything to do with the matter.

[leadthebeats]

So? It wouldn't have worked if you didn't love her. After all, as the saying goes, only "true love's kiss" will work, right, Prince Kyon?

[notjohnsmith]

It's just a saying!

[notjohnsmith]

Anecdotal wisdom isn't necessarily to be trusted! If the Buddha had had anything to say about true love's kiss, then it might be worth paying attention to. Any lesser authority not backed up by a wealth of factual support can probably be safely disregarded as rumor and gossip, unworthy for the ears of the samurai caste.

[leadthebeats]

Then explain to me why it worked then.

[notjohnsmith]

The kami work in mysterious ways. That's all I need to know, and since you're less involved than I am, it probably counts as a surplus of knowledge for you.

[leadthebeats]

So you're saying that the so called mysterious force of the gods made you kiss her? I don't believe you.

[notjohnsmith]

I didn't ask you to.

What you believe or don't believe isn't under my control. I could go further and say that it doesn't seem to be under any sort of rational control whatsoever, but I don't expect my opinion to have any more of an impact on you than vice versa.
