This announcement applies specifically to anyone staying in or visiting the Yoshiwara Dormitories in the immediate present.

Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli [ yes, she's using his whole government name ] is presently forbidden from setting foot in the dormitory.

Do not let him in. Do not feed him. Do not allow him to bum smokes off you.

He's in time-out.

For those of you unfamiliar with Caesar, he's [ -- hang on -- she's moving to look at him through the window, and wearing a plain white shirt of his that fits like a dress on her -- ] the twenty-something, muscled, blond Italian with tattoos beneath bright green eyes. He's roughly one hundred and eighty centimeters. He will likely be scowling, shaking with anger, and may be cursing my name in Italian.

Don't let him talk you into letting him in before he's had time to think about what he's done. I'll know.

I'll probably let him in eventually.

[ Probably and, really, she will know if someone tries to let him in. One of those curious pitch black sparrows that showed up sometime around the third of the month will be keeping its oddly colored little eyes on him whether she is or isn't sitting in one of the dormitory windows with a glass of Caesar's wine in hand and his bottle beside her, looking at a certain lying liar who's got no ground to stand on. It's a shame she doesn't have any music she could put on without endangering the phone battery she's determined to preserve. ]

She locked you out and made a public spectacle out of shaming you.
I think she's already won.

[casaposa]

She hasn't.
This is nothing. A lock can be easily broken and I'm far from shamed by this.
She can't win with these tricks alone. I'll best her yet.

[chichichi]

It's good to have dreams.





But how about realistic goals?

[casaposa]

You can only play these petty games for so long, Setsura.

[chichichi]

If you didn't want to play with me, you shouldn't have started these games to begin with. We both know I have greater and more stamina than you.

[casaposa]

Say that to my face and not through this device like a coward.

[chichichi]

Who are YOU to accuse ANYONE of being a coward? You couldn't even look me in the eye before I put you outside. I thought I'd save you the trouble of looking at your feet like a child while you spout the same sort of nonsense, you know? And that's what you come back with?

I'll toss you a pair of chopsticks so you can choke on your words while you eat them.

[sweetsleuth]

I'd say you should listen to her, but I don't have to.
You already know what you'll have to do.

[casaposa]

[THIS IS HALF YOUR FAULT RANPO.]

Neither do I. She has no authority over me.
I refuse to apologize.

[sweetsleuth]

Okay.

Anyway, good luck with your apology.

[He'll spare him the "I told you so" in a week, promise.]
