[Dry page.  If there's anything dripping off of it, it's resignation.]

Fred, or Kurayami, [there's part of an o, he started to ask for Handmaiden and... changed his mind] could I have a word?

Privately, if possible?

- Rogue Lea

[He, too, ended up in the Spring of Drowned Girl, and is...  a little poleaxed by it, now that he's had time to take it in.

What is it? Are you alright?

[wyn_starflare]

I'm fine. Just -

You've already heard that falling into one of those springs turns you into things.

[burntorangesky]

...I see.

I assume you're still [pause] humanoid, given that you're able to use your journal?

[wyn_starflare]

I just want to ask you something without everyone knowing. It's kind of awkward.

[He manages to keep from writing "You're a girl, right?", but it's a close call.]

[-he just wants to ask what he should do about chafing, and if binding will do or if he has to... get a bra.]

[lingeringlegacy]

[Was reading Bell's entry.]

Rogue, this is Stellaris. I chanced upon reading that you fell(?) in the wilderness. I hope you're alright. Please let me know if there's anything I can help you with.

[wyn_starflare]

[He winces. Previous-Stellaris, Stardust, would've been on that short list of women to ask. He tries not to show the unease he feels talking to Stellaris, and he's a little more distant towards her as a result.]

I'm fine, just [pause] startled. Thanks, though.

[lingeringlegacy]

[Rogue is still not mentioning any signs about knowing her before. She thinks about Smoke's words about dealing with returners without memories, and how meetings with 00 and especially Gene had weighed on her mind. It is probably best to let Rogue decide if he wants to mention about Stardust.]

Take care.

[wyn_starflare]

[If he wasn't feeling awkward and subdued he'd say something cocky.]

Don't worry about it.

[paintitgray]

Is everything okay?

[wyn_starflare]

It's fine now. I'm fine.

[Pause. He really should say something.]

I was in the Wilderness when it changed into those springs, and I fell into one.

[paintitgray]

[Oh, no. Pause.]

What did it do to you?

[wyn_starflare]

[He's aware that it's funny. It'll probably be funny to him too, later. It's a little funny to him already, in the disbelieving "Really? Really??" sort of way.]

It turned me into a woman.
