[ video ][The feed turns on to what appears to be a stranger's face. This is the first time Mulan has ever appeared over the network as herself, and indeed, it is very rare for her to ever use video. She wears not her armor, but a simple if colorful blue and red garb. Anyone looking at her would be able to tell right away that she is incredibly

Were some of them important reasons?

[she considers then for a moment]

I believe when I first began to disguise myself, my reasons for doing so--to protect my father--were good and important.

I am loathe to admit that upon coming here, and continuing to do so when it was no longer necessary, my reasons became more selfish.

But you recognized them as such, so I do not think any harm came from them. I am glad that you were honest with yourself. [she smiles, a little hesitantly]

Besides, things seem to be very different in this place. Such matters seem less important than they were at home.

[Mulan returns the smile, similarly somewhat shyly, but Jeanne's words are a great comfort] Thank you.

You are right. The knowledge that things might become better for us [it is strange, but nice to be able to say that] however far in the future, has become a great comfort.

[she gives him a small smile. She knew that people here were mostly friendly and supportive, but even she is rather surprised]

Thank you very much. It gladdens me to hear such a kind sentiment.

[thethirdhare]

You are right, it is astounding. I love my people, and do not wish to think lowly of them, but the difference in how people have reacted here, to how they would react back home...[she shakes her head]

It is incomparable.

Ehehe, don't worry. You must have all the Prankster's Gambit right now. I mean, you don't even look like a man at all!

[sdf LOL oh John you are too cute]

The--the prankster's gambit? [have a very confused looking once-drag king. At his other comment however she laughed]

I am glad I do not! I suppose that goes to show how powerful words can be.

[video]

[conheir]

Yup! All of the Prankster's Gambit.

[His eyes are practically sparkling btw.]

That is a good point. How did you even trick everyone for so long!

In truth a lot of it involved being avoidant. I train many during Germany's session, and one on one but aside from that I have mostly kept to myself in my time here.

But I've had quite a bit of practice. Even before I came here, I had been under guise for a little over two years.
