Tch. I shouldn't be suffering from cabin fever in May.

[An annoyed, heavy sigh, followed by the metallic flick of a lighter. He exhales.]

The sooner these damn bubbles go away, the better. I'd like to be able to go out without exposing my thoughts to everyone. Some more than others.

I'm sure your thoughts aren't that bad, Ban.

[voice]

[ceruleanvices]

Maybe some of 'em aren't, but that doesn't mean I want the whole world to see 'em. How's the pup dealing with it?

I guess that's true, Ban. Well...he didn't take the lose of Nodoka well. That's...kinda been on his mind, but other than that, he seems to be taking it okay. I don't mind it. It's not...the worse curse we've had.

[voice]

[ceruleanvices]

Yeah, I noticed her name was off the list. [A pause as he takes a drag on his cigarette.] Kinda figured he'd get pissy over it.

It's not the worst - it's the invasion of privacy I'm not liking.

[behisstrength]

Cabin fever? [A beat.] This curse should not last much longer, at least.

voice;

[ceruleanvices]

Just a saying; it's that feeling you get when you're shut up inside for a long while without being able to go outside. [He chuckles.] I mean, I can go outside, but with this damn thing broadcasting my thoughts, I'd rather not.

I hope not. How've you been?

voice;

[behisstrength]

I know a similar feeling... surrounded by ocean, yet landlocked.

Mitsuhide is the same way. [he laughs shortly, himself.] We have resorted to wearing blindfolds in his company, to put him at ease.

I have been well. What of you, Ban?

voice;

[ceruleanvices]

Blindfolds? Yikes. [There's a small laugh.]

Been all right. Just want to get out of the apartment soon, catch up with people.

[pristinestar]

What's cabin fever, Mister Ban?

And I agree, this curse makes a lot of us uncomfortable... But it's not so bad.

[ceruleanvices]

That feeling you get when you've been inside way too long.

I know, I know, in the short-term it doesn't seem as bad as the others.

[pristinestar]

[Ah, Ban must've been hiding...] Don't worry! I'm sure that it'll go away sooner or later. Hang in there, Mister Ban.

By the way... if you want me to pick up anything for you, I'll be glad to buy them and then drop them off your door anytime.

[ceruleanvices]

Yeah, right when these things go away, I'm heading out. Been cooped up way too long. [He laughs.] Thanks for the offer - I'll let you know. How's Pikachu?

[voice]

[sweeperesque]

So secretive, Ban~

[voice]

[ceruleanvices]

[You get a genuine laugh. Somewhat disgruntled, but still a laugh]

Yeah, yeah. I'd rather not have the world be able to see what I'm thinkin'.

[voice]

[sweeperesque]

The skeletons in your closet that bad?

[voice]

[ceruleanvices]

I'm not thinking about those all the time, though there's a couple I'd rather keep to myself. But there's still some personal stuff being shown.
