...it would appear I have been out of it for awhile. My apologies, though it obviously appeared to be a recurring problem.

...what is today's da-

[very long pause]

...

Ahem.

I will likely be taking my time returning to Sanctity.

Hi Signum! It's really been a while!

Where are you now?

Re: audio

[knightofswords]

...Vivio?!

...well, I suppose Nanoha will be worrying less, now...

Um. Somewhere far away from Sanctity, it'd seem.

Re: audio

[uberlikehermama]

That's good. Now she just needs to stop breaking her body by firing massive amounts of magic at everything.

And umm... how far?

Re: audio

[knightofswords]

...a long way.

Re: audio

[uberlikehermama]

... Any reason you're not telling me exactly where you are?

Re: audio

[knightofswords]

After everything I just went through, waking up to a time when that sense forsaken love virus crops up typically...

It's better if I avoid social interaction until it blows over, just in general.

Re: audio

[uberlikehermama]

... Oh, it is around that time, isn't it?

[scrapperzen]

Oh dear...

I suppose I'd best recast my protection spells with regards to THAT.

Oh, and Signum, once this is over, may I have a few minutes of your time?

[knightofswords]

Rest assured, I have not been afflicted. I just think it ... is better served I keep myself scarce if that virus has any potential of starting up again.

But, certainly.

[scrapperzen]

Completely understandable. I'd offer you a safe place in my home, but... I don't trust Yggdrasil that much.

Especially give how many shocks I wind up giving myself during this time of year.

[knightofswords]

...shocks?

[scrapperzen]

Negative reinforcement to discourage the virus's effects from taking hold.

It's effective, if somewhat unpleasant if I'm ever hit.

[knightofswords]

Have you ever been hit?

[scrapperzen]

Once or twice.

My dissuasion measures have served to keep me from doing anything I'd regret. ... Admittedly, I was sore for a week afterwards, but still...

[darkmagicalgirl]

Taking your time? What's the matter?

[knightofswords]

Testarossa.

Consider the date.

[darkmagicalgirl]

... I understand.

Just. Don't do anything extreme, alright?

[knightofswords]

I just think it wiser to take that course.

[darkmagicalgirl]

Of course.

Just don't think you need to become a hermit, or something like that.

[knightofswords]

Just for a couple of days, unless the coast would seem to be clear.

[darkmagicalgirl]

... of course.

[locked]

[the_monster_girl]

... Um.

I know you want to be alone, but... I was hoping you'd show up by now...

[attached: home-made chocolate]

... I know it's... not exactly befitting the specifics of the holiday, but considering what was going on last month...

Re: [locked]

[knightofswords]

...oh, Yuma. Good, you're alright.

That's...

...thank you.

Re: [locked]

[the_monster_girl]

... maybe we could... do something together after all this has passed?
