[Yuki smiles nervously at the screen]

Hello everyone, I haven't yet vowed to a Player yet and, well, it's my first time being a discard. It's a bit harder than I thought it would be, so if anyone would like a Katana with the upgrades Dexterity Boost, Wind Damage, Infinite Bond, Defense Boost, Paralysis, Yo-Yo, Debt Collection, Galdr Bliss, and Bliss, and wouldn't mind giving me my rights, I will gladly fight for you.

Now that I got that out of the way, would anyone be up for a picnic sometime this week? It's getting warmer and I think we should spend more time outside, it could be a lot of fun. If people are interested we can pick a day and have it after class, we had one once before but it could be a nice tradition if people are interested.

[Yuki got a bit nervous half way through and began repeating herself, whoops, she's just not used to asking for a Player!]

[pencilpremonition]

Yeah but if so much as the lead snaps, it 'broke' and I pass out.

[anotherpath]

Oh, I didn't think about that. At least you have a flaming sword now.

[pencilpremonition]

Yeah. And that's kind of awesome. I had a thing for flaming swords when I was little.

[anotherpath]

...You had a thing for flaming swords. Of course you did.

[pencilpremonition]

...What? I loved to draw them. Usually me as an angel wielding one.

[anotherpath]

That sounds really... powerful. Do you have one of those drawings?

[pencilpremonition]

[turns back a few pages in her notebook and shows off a drawing of exactly that--Becca with a flaming sword and battered clockwork angel wings, fluttering in the air and attacking a female figure. In the background is a boy, but his features are shrouded in fog.]

[anotherpath]

You're a very skilled artist.

[pencilpremonition]

Thanks. I just...

[she brushes her fingers over the shadowy boy, and a few tears hit the paper]

Even my fingers forgot him....

[anotherpath]

[quietly] You'll remember him soon.

[pencilpremonition]

Thanks.

[anotherpath]

Until then, try and be happy. For him and for you.

[pencilpremonition]

Yeah. And I guess I need to find other people to draw.

[anotherpath]

I wouldn't. Ind being a model for you, and I'm sure if others see your skill they would volunteer as well!

[pencilpremonition]

I should turn you into an angel. Or maybe a faerie...

[anotherpath]

[she blushes]

I would like that, but I don't think I'm really angel material.

[pencilpremonition]

Why not?

[anotherpath]

I...

[there is a loong pause]

I'm not pure.

[pencilpremonition]

That...doesn't...mean anything. You're a good person, that's what angels are. 'Purity' only matters for the Virgin Mary, not the rest of us.

[anotherpath]

[she looks unconvinced]

[where did her self esteem go, she had it a little while ago!]

[pencilpremonition]

Anyone who tries to tell you you're not good enough to be an angel because of your 'purity' is someone who's trying to control you. They're just trying to shame you into doing what they want.

Fuck 'em. Kick 'em in the nuts.

[anotherpath]

Doing that could get me hurt more.

[pencilpremonition]

[Becca starts to say something, but cries out in pain as memory fog overrides it. You just reminded her of something she can't remember.]

[anotherpath]

[D8!!!]

Becca! Are you okay?

[pencilpremonition]

I'm fine. ...But I have no idea what we were talking about.
