Oh gods, that damned ship. I spent half my time hidden away in a cabin because I was cursed at the time. [She laughed at the memory, even if it came with a fair share of bitterness.]

Certainly one of the more memorable places to have met, and infinitely better than meeting in that underwater sea we ended up in next. We really have had some wretched locales to have first memories in haven't we?

[ Ange releases a deep breath. ]

Don't even mention it.

[ It sure is something to suddenly wake up on the Titanic, only to be there when it sinks and then spend a month in that absolute hellhole of an underwater city. And then her first month in Deerington had the townspeople acting all weird and culty..

It makes the girl groan and rub her temples for a moment. ]

What kind of curse was bothering you back then?

[onerthes]

Ugh... that one. So, on New Years, I made a terrible mistake. And... afterwards, the next person I touched? I could read their thoughts. All of them about me.

And right afterwards I became insanely paranoid and fled them. It happened every time I touched omeone and, well... you know how affectionate I am. On top of that, I was still recovering from my fourth death, so I was sleepwalking to ghostly nightmares on that boat.

nearly fell off a few times.

Well.

[ There's a pause. Maybe she doesn't want to linger too much on most of it, since it sounds like Vira-Lorr had a truly awful time on that boat.

But that why she figures it's easier to say the more deadpan thing about it, even if it's kind of morbid: ]

In the end we all fell off anyway.

[Blink.
Blink blink.
Blink blink blink.

She nearly fell over laughing. Give her a minute.]

[ Usually Ange would make some dry remark here about it not really being that funny.

But.. considering everything? She's honestly just glad that she was able to make Vira-Lorr laugh, even if it's just for a few moments. So Ange's face isn't her usual pokerface expression. Instead she's smiling a little as she speaks up. ]

Please don't choke.

[onerthes]

[She calmed down after a second, wiping a tear out of her eye and just smiling over at the other girl. Thankfully the game board hadn't gotten jostled.]

Oh, that was perfect timing. Very funny you.
