[araeph]

heave_ho: Oh, boy. We’ve strolled down that lane before, haven’t we, Araeph? So many Mary Sues have this stupid “Cinderella” complex-

Araeph: That’s her name.

heave_ho: Huh?

Araeph: Today’s Sue is named Cinderella Lane.

heave_ho: *nervously* Hah! Good one, Araeph. After Angelique Joliette, you wouldn’t be cruel enough to have another absurdly-named-
