I hope everyone is doing well. It's been quiet around the city, and unusually quiet in my own room. I've not seen my roommate in a while. Has anyone seen a small, Korean girl? Her true name is Jinju, but she goes by May Lee.

Hmmmm, things have been calm since the last fight. My tea with Signor Yozak was a welcome change of pace, and this next battle will be interesting, to say the least.

I'll be fighting my own roommate and her partner, a woman she regards as her sister. This won't be easy at all. They are like me... warriors against evil. But I'll do what I must.

If anyone would like a reading, I would be more than happy to oblige. I've not done one in a while.

When you have some free time, I would like to meet up with you. Perhaps we can go for tea at Signor Trussardi's trattoria. It's not an emergency, but it does concern your friend and my acquaintance. Please contact me when you get a chance.


((OOC: Rose is up to no good and plotting something for Conrad and Lulu >:3))

That was a close battle. Our opponents were formidable, and I applaud them for their effort and skill. I will be resting for the next few days, or at least until we fight again.

I don't believe I've met one of our opponents. I recognize Yozak, but his partner, I do not. My name is Rose, Signor Weller. I look forward to a good battle.

For now, I think I will indulge in some dessert teas.

My my, our battle will be interesting. Defensive versus offensive. There will be more spiritual energy as opposed to physical.

May the best team win.

[Filtered to Lulu]

Would you care to come by for tea? Perhaps we can have a brief match to hone our abilities. That, and I am curious about your skills.

The new tournament is underway. Conventional and unusual alliances will take place. Perhaps I too, should find a partner for this fight.

Who knows, it could be rather fun.

So my cards were right. The new champion is decided as I draw the World. How long will his reign last? Does pure physical strength determine the strong from the weak? Only time will tell.

Lulu, I appreciate the sleep aid. I've never slept so peacefully before.

For those who joined me for tea in the past, thank you. I hope my readings were satisfactory. As for the rest of you, please feel free to come by my room starting tomorrow.

Today would not be the best for me. I had a horrible nightmare last night. I'm sure it wasn't a premonition, but the subject matter frightened and angered me more than anything. I'm afraid I wouldn't be good company.

I think a long, hot bath is in order.

((OOC: This is my way of saying the Street Fighter movie I saw last night SUCKED. :3))

There has been a spike in energy, lately. I assume this land is coming to life with more people.

Welcome.

If anyone needs assistance or would just like a cup of tea and possibly a reading, I am available. My power has grown accustomed to its new surroundings, and I can read more accurately.

It is unfortunate that I lost my debut match, but that does not matter. We both survived, and she was a worthy fighter. A good soul beneath that rough exterior. She will do well.

[Private to self]

How odd. Whenever I read my cards, The World comes up more frequently than it should. What does it mean for us? It usually means a conclusion, and that makes me feel very uneasy. It's even worse than Bison... I will keep a sharp eye on this development.

The energy here is thick with violence. There is no avoiding it, I suppose, considering this is a place of battle. Perhaps I should do a reading before I fight, if only to see if my opponent knows where he is.

I wasn't exactly expecting such accommodations. The view of the city rivals only the various colorful auras I've seen. I wish I could relax and enjoy this city like I should.

Oh, I didn't notice the second set of bags, here. They didn't tell me I would be having a roommate. I do not mind, as long as this person doesn't interrupt my concentration.
