Where's Dear Abby when you need advice?]


Have you ever been in a situation
Where you knew something somebody else didn't
And you weren't sure if you should tell them or not
Like you knew that if they found out they'd be really upset but there's also nothing they could do about it
And you don't want them to blame themselves
Or
Get mad at you
But pretending it didn't happen feels
I don't know
A lot like lying I guess
What would you do in those circumstances?

I'm asking for a friend.

You might be surprised how common a set of former circumstances that is around here.

It's also not possible to die here, so that particular concern is reasonably moot.

Many people invest in houses, after awhile. Speaking of stability.

Oh? You have particularized skills that would assist in that sort of thing?

I would like to ask you a question privately.

You're under no obligation to break your anonymity. Would it be acceptable if I made this conversation private?

Does the phrase "rad magic jammies" mean anything to you?

I thought so.

I first heard that term from John Egbert, who later became a good friend of mine.

I had it narrowed down to a few likely suspects.

Even anonymous, I think John would've betrayed more of his usual bubbly personality, and Rose would be somewhat less rambling unless she were actively trying to hide her identity, which was possible.

Honestly I had wondered if you might be Dirk, and I would've been mildly offended that you hadn't said hello personally before now.

My name is Kyouko Kirigiri.I've been acquainted with some people who've participated in Sburb, as you can see. If you need further proof, I can send you a certain Pokemon of mine. The original trainer is listed as John Egbert.

...Much obliged. That does save me some trouble.

I stayed with John and Rose once at their house in Ecruteak. I think it was someone's birthday? I recall it was shortly after one of the strange end-of-November occurrences, so somewhere around the first week in December.

You played music I liked.
