The Ship Name Post (un:happyaround)

[roundandaround]

Did anyone else have people at the Otherworlder Fan Merch Store tell you you shouldn't look at a section? Especially in the back of the store, where they have all the books and a bunch of them are sorted by those weird names. The store employee told me I wouldn't wanna see the ones with "Sparklecest" on the tag, but I was on so many of the covers there!!

Actually, I wanna find out what all the names mean! Do you know any of them?

P.S. pet tax + kid tax?

[As is tradition, a photo of Leon sitting on a log in his enclosure, and a photo of Mecchan playing Candy Land with Hina... well, he's playing, she's trying to eat the cards.]

I think it's fun... But I know you guys don't like it. I guess they didn't like you even when they liked you, if they were hurting you so much, so it'd feel like the fans here don't either.

[She's really trying to understand.]

[happydreamed]

They enjoyed watching us, but they didn't care about our feelings.

I'm sorry to be so dour with something you enjoy.

[roundandaround]

Shouldn't I be the one apologizing for liking something that you hate because someone hurt you?

[happydreamed]

You are entitled to like the things you like if they aren't truly harming anyone.

[It's not? ...She didn't think it was. But Kantera and the other Imeeji survivors, who freaked out even at the possibility of people intentionally having merch made of themselves... They're reassuring her, but she still feels guilty for how happy it's been making her.]

Okay. I didn't wanna hurt you, Kantera-san. You guys went through a lot, and it's really scary, so...

[happydreamed]

I know, and I truly do appreciate your concern for us.

[roundandaround]

Of course! I care a lot about you guys. Besides, you deserve a happy life too.

[happydreamed]

'Twould certainly be nice if things would settle down for some time...

[roundandaround]

No way! You didn't get hurt too, did you? Did someone bother you? Attack you?

[happydreamed]

Oh, no, I didn't, but the ritual to unlock new powers was emotionally difficult.

What do you mean 'too'?

[roundandaround]

Um

It's okay

[happydreamed]

Rinku.

[roundandaround]

Kantera-san.......

[happydreamed]

If you were bothered or attacked, surely you would not hide it from your friends who care about your wellbeing?

[roundandaround]

Are you gonna be mad if I say we were investigating suspicious cursed games again and they found us I SWEAR IT'S FINE

[happydreamed]

[hhhhhhhhhhh]

What did they do to you?

[roundandaround]

We got out! Uh. After being trapped for a couple hours. But we got out and it didn't even get really bad!

[happydreamed]

[hhhhhhhhhhhhh]

And you weren't injured?

[roundandaround]

I didn't get dissected or die?

[happydreamed]

So you WERE injured.

[roundandaround]

Please don't get mad it's okay...

[happydreamed]

Did you at least get someone else to heal you?

[roundandaround]

Mostly? You would've yelled at me if I didn't, and I also don't wanna be hurt...

[happydreamed]

I see. That much at least is good.

Do I need to lecture him as well?

[roundandaround]

You mean MK-san? No, it's okay! It was kinda my fault we got caught, don't blame him! I saw the guy and got scared because I remembered something, and then it blew our cover...
