Seiko-chan?

	She didn't know? So was she like, trapped by her shadow? [Seiko twists to face Kozue, looking curious.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Seiko-chan, everybody is trapped by their shadow. She was just trapped by ignoring it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I... Suppose, I guess some of us were just more obviously trapped than others. [She sighed, after all she had been attached to a statue of her persona covered in body jewels and little else, that was pretty obviously trapped in her opinion.] She ignored it? How? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When we got there, she had it chained up and thought she'd taken care of it and could leave. [Kozue shrugged. It didn't look like she'd been trapped, after all, but she knew better.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mellow_lellow 2010-09-29 01:30 am UTC (link)
	She... Chained up her own shadow? How? What? Why? [Seiko had a decidedly confused expression on her face.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anthesphoria 2010-09-29 01:32 am UTC (link)
	[Kozue shrugged.] Because she was denying it so hard, even when she was there. I mean, you could argue she fought it or something, that's kind of what she implied... [Kozue shook her head, giving a knowing smile all too fitting to her arcana.] But that's not it, I'm pretty sure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mellow_lellow 2010-09-29 01:35 am UTC (link)
	Yeah but fighting your shadow gets all... [She waved her good hand in a 'Rara claw' and made a vague 'graaah' noise] You know, fighty and kind of beaten up-y. I mean I tried fighting back and I was about as efficient as a chocolate hammer without my persona. So it must be something else? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anthesphoria 2010-09-29 01:38 am UTC (link)
	[Another shrug.] There's a difference between, like... fighting and ignoring. Everyone says "I'm not you". That's fighting. But maybe you can just... try and put it back where it was at first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Seiko nodded thoughtfully, kind of impressed by how they were managing to maintain a fairly deep conversation, after all Seiko's conversations were usually far more whimsical.] Everyone handles it differently, but I guess Masami's way of doing it just, seems surprising, ignoring rather than denying. Strange. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It wasn't like mine was that different. [Her voice was soft; she followed that with a smile and a shrug.] Well, it's over now, at least. I'd give her some time to get over it and then, maybe, talk? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mellow_lellow 2010-09-29 01:59 am UTC (link)
	Yeah I should talk to her, I mean, it wasn't directly her who hospitalised me just a repressed part. [Seiko sounded apprehensive and glanced down at her cast.] I'm sure it would be fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anthesphoria 2010-09-29 02:03 am UTC (link)
	[Kozue just nodded.] It'll be fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mellow_lellow 2010-09-30 12:13 am UTC (link)
	[Seiko sat still for a moment, empty wrapper in hand.] Anyway, I'm tired, so, uh I'll see you at school, it was nice to see you. [Whilst she does sound a little tired, she sounds slightly forced and abrupt.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anthesphoria 2010-09-30 12:15 am UTC (link)
	[Kozue blinked.] Uh. ... Sorry, Seiko-chan, is something wrong? I mean, if you're tired... [But she started gathering up her things, the chocolate wrapper and plastic bag.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mellow_lellow 2010-09-30 12:19 am UTC (link)
	[Seiko is pretty bad at lying, but attempts it anyway.] No, I'm just, you know, battered from being beaten up, plus like, half an hour ago I broke up with my boyfriend. [She doesn't really look at Kozue as she is talking and still sounds forced.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anthesphoria 2010-09-30 12:21 am UTC (link)
	Since you dumped him? ... Maybe you should rethink, if it upsets you so much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It doesn't work like that! I dumped him because it was going to get stupid and awkward and we'd just make each other worse, and we are trying to fight something that wants to kill people which is kind of more important than trying to deal with a difficult relationship.

It doesn't mean I just stopped having feelings for him magically.

[Seiko is uncharacteristically sharp as she talks, her expression turning slightly sour.]

	[Already standing, Kozue stepped back; half-astonished, half... blank, not quite unreadable, but close.] Sorry. [She seems to about half mean it; she reads something in Seiko's tone, it's obvious.] But don't take that out on me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mellow_lellow 2010-09-30 12:38 am UTC (link)
	You're right, I shouldn't, it isn't like you'd understand it anyway. [Her tone was descending into petulance.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anthesphoria 2010-09-30 12:41 am UTC (link)
	Here, Senpai. The pudding is for you to keep. I bought it for you, so that's only fair. [She lowered the bag to the floor.] I don't need to put up with things like this from anybody anymore. I'll show myself out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mellow_lellow 2010-09-30 12:46 am UTC (link)
	Oh, well thank you. [Seiko sounded slightly more subdued and was turning an elegant shade of tomato red. But kept her gaze firmly on her lap.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anthesphoria 2010-09-30 12:48 am UTC (link)
	[It's quiet, and on the way out the door, but,] Well, when you want to talk to your friend the slut, you know where to find me. Provided I'm not just banging some random guy, sure. (Reply to this) (Parent)
