[There's a long sigh on the other end of the line, like one about to dive from a cliff to a pool of cool water below.
The voice is much too mellow to be Rider's, and yet...]

Medusa? Damn, didn't see that one coming.

[breaker_gorgon]

Well, yes.

It's not something I like to share, but apparently my mood has changed.

Go figure.

[riastrad_ridire]

Look at it this way, earlier I called half the town and basically told my whole life story. I'd be embarrassed if I could be, but I'm pretty sure something like this couldn't humiliate me.

[breaker_gorgon]

I suppose I was lucky to get out with a partial version of it, then, hm?

I'm sure you aren't easy to embarrass.
I kind of admire that.
Even I get a bit flustered at times.

...I just keep talking, don't I?

[riastrad_ridire]

Pretty much, yeah. You're not the only one--looks like most of Mayfield is having the same problem.

Hell, I can't shut up today. It's like I want everyone to know I used to completely flip out like I was a Berserker-class and kill everyone in sight.

...I just said that out loud, didn't I?

[breaker_gorgon]

Oh, fantastic. I'm glad this is just one of those things that pass.
I'd hate to be an open book forever.

And don't worry, at least you didn't eat them.

[riastrad_ridire]

For all I know, I probably tried. I never remembered a damn thing that happened after that kicked in.

[breaker_gorgon]

Maybe it's better that way.

It's said that ignorance is bliss.

I wouldn't mind a little of that, myself.
