First of all, I would like to thank those who voted for me for the Royal Court during the Flower Festival. That was very kind of you and an unexpected honour.

Second, I would also like to apologize for any actions I may have taken during that final day (days?) of the festival. I was not exactly myself and if I inconvenienced you in some way, I hope I can make it up somehow.

Thank you

-Ira

I think I have some apologizing to do, myself. I definitely wasn't myself, and while I definitely know how to take charge of a situation, I'm not usually... like that. It was fun to be Queen for a little while, but I'm happy to hang up my crown.

I'm pretty sure you're among those I owe an apology to, Ira. I'm so sorry for how I acted during the final day of the festival! Really, I promise, I'm very nice!

[iracorn]

It's quite alright. I think we can both accept that it was the strangeness of the day.

I'll believe you and hope we can meet each other properly.

Though, I may be done painting flowers for a good long while.

[inheritedearth]

I'm glad to have it all behind us, honestly. The Flower Fest was great fun, otherwise!

Don't worry, I won't be asking anyone to paint flowers again anytime soon. They come in so many beautiful colors already! I'd like to meet properly too, though, and hopefully make a better second impression than I did first. I work at the Starflower with Tifa!

[iracorn]

I would hope not, as I like my head where it is.

But, I agree that it was fun.

You are a friend of Tifa's? Then I suppose I shall see you there.

[inheritedearth]

Oof, I'm going to be apologizing for those threats for a long time, even though I wasn't really myself. Sorry about that.

I am! We know each other back home, and I've been happy to help her out with the café however I can. I'm more of a florist than a chef, but she's taught me well! Seems like everyone here is a friend of Tifa's.

[iracorn]

I'm sure it will fade with time.

And you can count me among that number. She's been very good, to everyone.

[inheritedearth]

I hope so. That kind of thing is really, really not me.

She has, hasn't she? I think she must make a big difference wherever she goes. She's just that kind of person!

[iracorn]

It is very much a relief to hear that.

She has certainly made my time here a lot easier. I've been very grateful.

Bad things happen to people a lot here like that -- where they aren't themselves. Are you okay?

[iracorn]

I'm fine. It wasn't quite as bad as I'm sure it could have been.

I'm more worried about the trouble I caused everyone else.

[stilljustyou]

When you know someone, it's easy to know when they aren't themselves.

Was it mirrors again?

[iracorn]

No, not mirrors this time. I was a member of the Royal Court, and the costume seemed to have a bit of an effect on me.

Not the way I would usually go about things.

[stilljustyou]

Did they make you pretend to be what you were dressed up as??

[iracorn]

Something like that. It was fun, but coming back to myself, I realize I may have caused some trouble.

[stilljustyou]

It can be fun to be different sometimes. ... But, it gets scary when you aren't you anymore.

I'm glad it wasn't for long.

I didn't know that anything bad happened at the festival.

[iracorn]

It wasn't that bad, but the timelooping got a little tedious after a while.

Once I noticed it anyway.

[stilljustyou]

You timelooped?

( ... Oh... Was it like their powers? )

What was it like?

[iracorn]

You're quite lucky if you missed it.

It was...odd. I don't know how many times it repeated.

[stilljustyou]

I'm used to it -- going back.

It can be scary at first when you aren't used to it. I didn't know it could happen to others here.

[iracorn]

[You've...gone through a time loop before?

I admit I found it rather disorienting.

[stilljustyou]

Kind of. I can choose where I go back.

But, that doesn't make it any less weird when it happens.

[iracorn]

I suppose not.

But having the choice makes it a little more palatable, I think.

[stilljustyou]

Would you do it if you could choose when you go back?

[iracorn]

That's a very big question to ask.

[stilljustyou]

You don't have to answer if it's too hard.

[iracorn]

There's just, a lot for me to consider.
