I should have done this three years ago.

While I am a bit reluctant to interrupt the current atmosphere of anxiety over impending nuclear war, if hearsay and internet service announcements are to be believed, my past experiences with this camp strongly suggest that perhaps we could all benefit from a pick-me-up of sorts. After I conclude this post to the general public, you may resume

Donut?

[sillyrabitricks]

No, I don't think so.

[grilled2order]

Is there a problem?

[sillyrabitricks]

Well, it does seem a bit drastic.

[grilled2order]

It does, doesn't it. Unfortunately, a "vacation" that could last several years is not only improper, but would require a lot of paperwork.

Declaring retirement for the duration of camp is a lot easier for everyone in the long run.

[sillyrabitricks]

Ah, I suppose so. Though it could make things a bit confusing should anyone else show up.

[grilled2order]

Yes. However, my Lord Sun Quan is a wise and reasonable man who would probably retire in camp too if it meant he could party like it was 199 every night, and he would understand why I would choose to devote myself to my studies rather than my duties in a place such as this.

However, if he, Lord Sun Ce, or even this camp's Lord Sun Quan were to require me to resume my duties in an official capacity, I would not refuse.

. . . I do hope you aren't going to listen to Sonsaku.

No, no, the real Lord Sun Ce-- my father-in-law -- is here.

[sillyrabitricks]

I know, Hakugen. I was there when you met him again.

[grilled2order]

...............Is that so?

It seems my memory is failing me in my old age.

[sillyrabitricks]

. . . I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

[grilled2order]

[laughing!]

I do apologize for that. The entire day was a blur.

[sillyrabitricks]

. . . Hakugen. Do you mean to say you can't recognise me?
