[Intro Post]

[keepinitstylish]

Well, I've never used one of these journal systems before, but I guess if I'm part of the academy now, I should learn how to use one, lol.

My name is Steven, and I came here from Germany. If anyone is willing to show me how things roll around here, I can rock with it.

Depends what you mean by ropes.

[keepinitstylish]

You know, show me what's what, who's who, and I would like to point out your name is very accurate.

[cuterthancute]

Hrm?

Well, the girl above you is a crazy girl who was a former Pro Duelist.

Most of the people here are assholes, or crazy. But we're mostly nice.

And if you see any skeletons in purple robes talking about, don't let them sell you anything.

[keepinitstylish]

Everyone has a bit of crazy in them. And I was saying your LJ name fits. You are a cute girl.

..and I generally make it a rule to avoid dudes in purple dresses, so no worries there.

[cuterthancute]

Eh. I guess. I'm just used to guys throwing themselves at my two older sisters. So kind of strange to be complimented.

I think that discounts the Skull Servants and maybe... Shikou?

[keepinitstylish]

Well, a guy throwing himself in a direction opposite from you isn't exactly smart, from what I can see.

[cuterthancute]

To be fair, one of them is pretty much the ideal Japanese idol. The other has curves that make men droll. So it's kind of expected?

Still thanks for the compliment. So what's your last name?

[keepinitstylish]

My last name is Barsellio, and there's more to a woman than her looks. I'd bet you're leagues more interesting than your sisters.

Your name is Shinoko, yes?

[cuterthancute]

So what are you, some kind of Italian/German/English mutt?

I'm pretty sure I'm haunted by a ghost, and my father figure is a polygamist. And the latter older sister is effectively my step mother.

Yeah. Eusebius, Shinoko. Haven't updated the Journal in -years-.

[keepinitstylish]

Something like that. Barsellio came from my great-great grandfather, an Italian artist, and when he married my German great-great grandmother, she took on his name and it's been sons down the line since.

I was named Steven after my father's favorite author: Stephen King and Rudel (my middle name) is my father's first name.

So what brought about having a 'father figure' in a polygamist?

[cuterthancute]

You guys from Europe really are something.

Anyways. Weird ass luck and circumstance. Really weird ass luck and circumstance. There's no real way to adequately explain it other than he's essentially adopted me. And he's a total skirt chaser. Though he seems like he's mellowed out.

Trust me, digging into half the stuff that goes on around here will give you a headache and either drive you insane or drunk.

[keepinitstylish]

It looks like Luck and Circumstance are the ingredients for any interesting life, wouldn't you agree? In fact, I consider it good fortune to have met you.

[cuterthancute]

I suppose interesting is a good word for it.

You know, if you're trying to flirt, just ask me out to lunch. Or beat me up in a Duel or something. This whole "Try and compliment her" thing is kind of weird.

[keepinitstylish]

Then a lunch date it is.

[cuterthancute]

Sure. But you foot the bill. A lady never pays.

[keepinitstylish]

But of course
