...hi?

I'm one of those people who likes to overanalyze things. As I said to the Lady, "Treason in corsets." That sticks out more than anything for some reason. Mayhaps you could shed some light on that for me? Or maybe I'm reading too much into everything.

I'm wow'd by this. (I don't know how else to say it.) It's wow. (No, honestly, I can't find another word to fit it.)

...The history of it is, some ...1400 years ago, by the Orunai measurement of years, the nation of Kiyachi lost significant portions of its territory to Oruna because one of the daughters of the then-king was a vain and silly girl who liked to be rebellious, and was manipulated into opening the gate for what she thought was a lover, but which turned out to be an advance party of several hundred Orunai oku. They still haven't gotten that territory back.

I had, shall we say, a front row seat for the event. It was, after all, my doing.
