I don't have Shroud blood running through my body, just oil. And my hair isn't a manifestation of some curse. It's just artificially generated. But the memories and feelings Ortho left me all reside within my core. I am Ortho, and Ortho is me. So this is my choice, Idia. Besides, if I wasn't there to stop you, you'd just throw yourself into binge gaming and dev work and never eat or sleep.
You don't have any close friends who can keep you in line yet, and I don't know if you ever will. Not to put too fine a point on it, but leaving you to your own devices is a terrible idea. So... I want to stay with you. Is that asking too much?
Thanks, Idia. You know, after everything we did, your situation hasn't changed one bit. The Island of Woe's still the same, and so is your curse. But something has shifted. After all, we got to play video games with friends! We took something that we thought was impossible and made it happen. And that memory remains with me, as it does with everyone else. So maybe things only moved from 0 to 0.001. But still... It's a major step.
Whew! It was suffocatin' staying at Pomefiore during the renovations. Vil yelled at me whenever I had a midnight snack... People expected me to do some stupid "treatment" whenever I got outta the bath... And they kept naggin' me to brush every single bit of my body! Then again, your hair and my fur are like gloss city, so I guess it wasn't all bad! Myahahah!
I was worried because the roof and flooring got destroyed when we fought the Charons... But Styx kept their word and covered all the expenses needed to restore the place.
That meant we still had the money we'd set aside for flooring renovations. So we fixed up all the rooms that have plumbingi like the showers and kitchen, and replaced your water heater and some other appliances. Now you should be able to shower without the hot water randomly running out.
It's not ramshackle now!
Should we rename the place Dazzlingly Dapper Dorm now?
Your jaw would hit the floor if you saw the price tag... Heh, I kid. Actually, the plumbing repairs and lounge renovvations took more of our budget than we planned. So we couldn't do much for your room. Hence... This.
Back in the day when CG effects and projection mapping were less advanced... Magical projectors like this were indispensible in showbiz. This is a used one I got on the cheap from an acquaintance of mine. It's more a toy than anything, but it'll lift your spirits, right?
