ST: hello penelo
DH: Ciao, Winry
DH: back in Germany?
ST: i am
ST: i missed talking to you
ST: have things been well in my absence
DH: Same here. Vaan nearly drove me to murder >.<
DH: see above
ST: oh
ST: what did he do this time
DH: I told you about that British conman and his...Icelandic or something partner, Balthier and Fran?
ST: briefly i do not remember the details
DH: they helped him crash a party
ST: really
ST: what for
DH: I think they wanted some valuable gem or something
DH: I don't know for sure, but he nearly got me kidnapped
DH: Apparently the conartists have some enemies
DH: and had seen them talking to Vaan
DH: who was then seen talking to me
DH: For some reason, they thought trying to kidnap me would get them the gem
DH: I don't know
DH: I think they were drunk
ST: wow wow you were kidnapped??
DH: nearly
ST: oh
ST: right
ST: i think
ST: i got a little ahead of myself there
DH: Just a little XD
ST: everything is okay now
DH: Yep! Migelo had given me a new metal pole, and I proceeded to kick their sorry culos
DH: and I'm not talking to Vaan
ST: that is good to hear
ST: i will admit usually i like hearing about the trouble vaan gets into
ST: and think its kind of fun
ST: but this not so much
ST: did he apologize
DH: Si. I'm still not talking to him, though
DH: I'll give him another day, and then I'll accept his apology
DH: Fran did apologize for getting me involved, though
DH: I don't think Balthier knows what 'sorry' means, though
ST: at least one of them did
ST: did they do anything to make up for it
DH: another new pole
DH: and they had a pair of ballet slippers in my size
ST: double action all the way
DH: si!
DH: Oh, and I met a few trolls
ST: oh really
ST: i wouldnt expect many trolls to me out that far west
DH: well, not in person. Trolls aren't allowed within city limits
DH: but over this
ST: oh
ST: i should have gathered that
ST: what did they want
DH: One I pestered for a stupid essay on trolls. He was actually really nice
DH: not crass or violent or anything
DH: He was actually kind of shy.
DH: I think his name is Tavros Nitram
ST: oh really
ST: maybe i should say hi to him sometime
DH: si
ST: i dont get a chance to talk to many trolls
ST: at least
ST: not ones that arent dying
ST: what were you asking him about
DH: the strange typing quirks
DH: apparently they do it either be annoying or because they simply like it better
DH: he typed lIKE, uHHH, tHIS
DH: or something similar
ST: i have always wondered about those as well
ST: ive met a couple humans who seem to have quirks
DISCONNECTED
DH: Her internet must have died again.

ST: oops
ST: looks like my interenet had a blip there
DH: Germany really has bad internet, doesn't it?
ST: that it odd
DH: anyway, another one tried trolling me, I trolled him with ABBA lyrics, and then we got into a discussion on musicals, of all things
ST: musicals
DH: yes
DH: He quoted Les Miz at me
ST: what is les miz
DH: Les Miserables
DH: I know I told you about this one
DH: I even sent you the 25th Anniversary's recording for your birthday last year
ST: oh that one
DH: yes that one
DH: he told me the title of it over there (essentially giving out the plot, apparently), and we dicussed the merits of the musical over the book
ST: so he was nice too
DH: no he was rather crass and rude
ST: oh
DH: but it was an interesting conversation
DH: Oh, and we talked about the Phantom of the Opera before he realized that he was an utter failure at trolling and stopped
ST: score one for penelo then
DH: I was really proud of that, actually
ST: heheh
ST: it has me thinking now
DH: the kids were bragging about Mama Penelo trolling the troll for weeks
ST: heheh
ST: how are they doing by the way
DH: They're doing fine
ST: thats good
DH: Kytes and Filo have taken up internet roleplay, though
ST: i have a box of knick knacks that i could probably send to them
DH: oh, they'd love that!
ST: i will do that then
ST: they have started somewhere safe i hope
DH: yes, that living journal thing or whatever
DH: a troll--I talked to her as well--taught them how to do it
DH: She was really sweet
DH: I never thought I'd meet a troll I don't mind the kids talking to
DH: but Tavros and aC are two that are kid friendly
DH: sort of
DH: I mean, they're trolls. But they're not intolerable
ST: i dont know how to feel about trolls
ST: or humans for that matter
ST: im always holed up here and those few times ive been out
ST: is usually only to see the worst of both sides
ST: but it just makes me feel strange
DH: How?
ST: im not sure how to explain it
ST: culturally
ST: from what ive read at least
ST: trolls are very violent and militant and they dont really try to hide that
ST: so its not like people stereotype when they talk about them in that way
ST: at least not for the most part
ST: but
ST: ive see humans do a lot of terrible things to trolls too
ST: sometimes unprovoked
ST: which makes me think in some ways they really arent much better
ST: but unlike trolls they are dishonest about it
DH: Migelo said that humans are like trolls, only so far in denial we're in Egypt
ST: i think migelo understands better than i do
ST: the think that is oddest for me though is
ST: when i see everything that has been lost to this war for both sides
ST: i know i should be sad
ST: and sometimes i get very angry
ST: but mostly im just left feeling a little confused
DH: Why?
ST: i guess in part because i know i should be sad
ST: but apart from the time um
ST: you know
ST: for you
ST: i havent been
ST: and i guess also because i just dont understand why this war is happening at all
ST: when its so counterproductive for everyone
DH: I don't get it, either
DH: Does anyone even remember what started the war?
ST: i have no clue
ST: its been going on for so long
DH: It's stupid
ST: it is
ST: but maybe
ST: things will finally end
ST: and the world can begin anew
DH: I think the only way that'll happen is if a giant meteor hit us
DH: and killed off most of the population
ST: that is terrible
ST: but okay i laughed a little
DH: Si, it's so ridiculous XD
ST: you never know
ST: but no you are right the chances of that happening are slim
ST: it would be really sad if that happened
ST: just as peace is slowly beginning to form
DH: it would
DH: that would be the worst
ST: things are bad now but not as bad as they use to be
ST: i think in maybe five or ten years we will see some really great changes!
ST: thinking about it actually makes me a little excited
DH: Maybe
DH: ...Don't tell anyone, but I'd really like to perform some troll ballets, because they're just so different
ST: my lips are sealed
DH: but no one will teach them over here
ST: thats too bad
ST: but i really do think things will change
ST: and i cant wait till im eighteen
ST: then i will finally be able to leave this place
ST: and we can do things together
ST: and i can go to cities and see these musicals with you
ST: and see you perform
DH: Oh! Did I tell you?
DH: I was chosen to dance Clara in our Christmas performance
DH: And we're going to Germany!
ST: oh really
ST: oh maybe i can try and convince granny
ST: its a longshot but
ST: ill try
DH: I will pay for your ticket if I have to
ST: thank you
ST: if not
ST: i can always try to sneak out
ST: i tried once and it didnt work but that was a long time ago
ST: stupid ed and al stopped me
DH: aren't they fighting, now? in the war?
ST: some people started bugging pinako about bringing them in
ST: and for her and me to build stuff to help in the war
ST: but she
ST: well she did her thing
ST: and they ran away
ST: and havent been back
DH: I love your grandmother
ST: she can be cool sometimes
ST: like that time hee
ST: most of the time though she can be pretty annoying
DH: that's grandmothers for you
ST: what is yours like
DH: I never met her
ST: im sorry
DH: It's fine. Mama says her mother was always sick, and Papa's died when he was little
ST: heh
ST: i had a silly thought
DH: oh?
ST: well i dont know who my parents are
ST: and you dont know who your grannies are
DH: bene
ST: it just popped into my head how fun it would be if we had been real sisters
DH: You would have been more fun than my brothers, that's for sure
ST: aw so mean to your brothers penelo
DH: I love them, but they were pains growing up
DH: I miss them
ST: i think being a pain is mandatory for brothers and
ST: they loved you to
ST: i dont remember them all that well but
ST: i could tell
DH: Si, I know
ST: i think i should be going now ed and al need a little maintanence but
ST: i will pester you later or tomorrow pen
DH: Ciao, Winry!
