[Yumi Ozawa is having a rough night. She's decided to bring up something she hasn't in a while, a certain man named William Shakespeare, and a certain play of his.]

Or, if there were a sympathy in choice

Why do you ask questions whose answers you already know?

[sunshine_fruit]

I'm just trying to make conversation. It's an interesting piece, I think.

[redbelltolls]

[ The reply takes a while to come, not because Magoichi is hesitant, but because it takes her some time to type on this strange contraption. ]

I can see truth in it. Few choices we make are truly our own: each opportunity is dictated by what paths the world offers to us.

[sunshine_fruit]

So you think that we have no control over our own happiness, then?

{...does anyone in Johto ever sleep anymore? In any case, Nanao will be walking up to the inn at two in the morning.}

I believe your quote was from a Midsummer's Night Dream. It's been a while since I read it, though.

[sunshine_fruit]

Oh, Nanao-san!

[This is a pleasant surprise! Yumi genuinely smiles and stands for her, like one would properly when someone enters the room.]

You got it one, hehe.

[used_glare]

{Smiling in return! And wandering across the room, electric sheep following faithfully behind her.}

I was a little surprised to hear that quote, actually. In my experience it's one of his lesser-known works, especially compared to works like Romeo & Juliet or Hamlet.

[sunshine_fruit]

Those two are a bit...too dramatic, you know? They're great, but I fell in love with how whimsical Midsummer is. It's so silly at times.

... [ at some point, Rise's wearily stumbling into the lobby, rubbing her eyes and following an eagerly hopping Hoothoot. ]

Yumi-senpai...? So you were who he heard...

[sunshine_fruit]

Oh, Rise-chan.

[She's just putting on her shoes, getting ready to go out.]

I didn't mean to wake you. I'm sorry.

[restardom]

It's fine... Fukuro wouldn't have let me sleep for another hour, anyway.

[sunshine_fruit]

I was just about to head out for a walk. I woke up a little too early again, hehe.

[sunshine_fruit]

I'm feeling a lot better, actually. Why are you up so late, Yuuta-kun?

[sunshine_fruit]

I've never actually tried any of the games on this thing. Are they any good?

And thanks. :)

[ Well, this little derp heard when you left, so he decided to know if something happened or not :(! He's going to catch up with her in the Inn. ]

Mind if I join?

[ Action ]

[sunshine_fruit]

O-oh. Bartz...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up when I left.

[Still standing to greet him, though. Very polite, this one.]

[ Action ]

[mimicofthewind]

[ He smiles at her. ]

It's fine. I just thought that you were having a nightmare and that. [ Oh, he spots the book. ] Do you want something to drink? It's my treat!

[sunshine_fruit]

Oh, no, I don't really have nightmares. [It's more like she doesn't sleep much at all. Bartz has probably caught her napping during the middle of the day more than once by now.] I just get up a little too early sometimes.

I wouldn't mind some green tea. Thanks.
