The Iron Maiden? ...one must suffer so that others may enjoy.

[lawful_maiden]

Oh! But I thought I....

I admit that's true. But I can't help but wonder why type of joy would be brought from that type of suffering.

[allthingstodust]

The filters have been broken for quite some time now. I suppose I should have led with that.

I cannot say I know for certain either, I'm afraid. But I can think of no other reason why anyone would do such a thing.

[lawful_maiden]

....Ahh... That's unsettling. But it can't be helped, I suppose.

While that makes sense, I still find it very difficult to understand.

[anna_no_itako]

It's been a while, Jeanne.

[lawful_maiden]

I suppose it has been. My apologies for not keeping in touch, Anna.

[anna_no_itako]

It doesn't matter.

How've you been?

[lawful_maiden]

Forgetful. Distracted. Generally unaware. But I do hope that changes soon.

How have you been, Anna?

[shadesofevil]

I was wondering what had happened to you, Jeanne.

[lawful_maiden]

Thank you for your concern, but I'm here now, at the very least.

How have you been?

[shadesofevil]

Gender swapping and filter failures aside, I'm as well as ever. Have you been faring well?

[lawful_maiden]

Relatively? I've been far too distracted for my own good.

I'm glad that depite recent events, you're not doing too badly.

[for_revenge]

It's good to hear from you again. I was beginning to worry.

Ah... you were very fortunate to miss the last event, though, my Lady.

[lawful_maiden]

Thank you for your concern, but I've been fine, really.

I suppose I was. Were you affected, Lyserg?

...And please, there's really no need to address me in such a way...

[for_revenge]

Yes, I was... it certainly was strange, remembering people the wrong way.

I suppose it's not really important here, but... it somehow just seems normal for me to address you that way.

By the way, did you know Anna remembered something about us recently?

[lawful_maiden]

I'm sure. It certainly sounds like it would be awkward.

If that's what you wish... Just know that I don't find it to be required or anything of the like.

No, she hadn't told me. I'll ask her about that later on, I suppose.

[twilightsmile]

It's good to see you again! You doing all right?

Though, I do admit, we didn't miss much if the other people here are telling the truth. I certainly wouldn't have wanted to be a boy last week.

[lawful_maiden]

It's good to speak with you again as well. Yes, I'm doing just fine. And you, Olette?

I must admit that I feel the same. People who had to experience that have my sympathy.
