Hello, everyone. I had fun cheerleading for Nova City at the games. I hope there will be another Olympic games next year. It was lonely not having anyone else with me, though.

But I'm seeing something weird on the network. Some people are talking like they are not themselves. Is there a bug going around?

And, another question. Can anyone give me an example of "rockin' roll" music?

I have some stuff on my phone from home you might like. Remind me later and I'll let you listen to it.

I haven't noticed anything odd on the network, but I haven't really been paying attention, either - still doing damage control at the castle with the vampire family. Certain people need to take their heads out of their....

erm. I'll not finish that thought here. Satsuki would probably skewer me...

Vampire family...

[That's just a weird combo of words. And what was he about to say?]

Is it really that bad over there?

[notquitedracula]

[You just think it's weird from the outside, Ana. He's got a guy over here who could legitimately call him 'father' that's around thirty times his age, and that's just a start.]

If anything, it's worse. I thought Vlad would come around once he realized it was really her, but... he's being stubborn.

[innocent_royal]

Hmm... Sad to say there is nothing I can do to help.

[She couldn't even gain the full support of a Warchief back home, after all.]

Adrian and I are trying to talk him around, but it's slow going. Sorry - Adrian is his son. He'd probably prefer if you call him Alucard. Don't feel bad about not being able to help - he's had hundreds of years to get set in his ways. I'd be more worried if he accepted it out of hand.

[innocent_royal]

[Alucard is in odd name. But she won't judge.]

So when can I meet your family?

[notquitedracula]

[Yeah, it's odd, but it's by far not the weirdest Soma's ever heard. Ask him sometime about the fad name trend that started around 2000.]

Probably sometime in the next week or two. I think Lisa's getting ready to confront him herself, and that should be the end of it.

Are people talking like they're not themselves?

[Rapunzel had been currently sewing when she switched on the feed. She had been so busy with that she kind of didn't pay that much attention.]

I didn't notice.

It's hard to explain. I just have this feeling that some people are not sure of themselves. Or maybe I'm imagining it...

[She has been far more active than she usually is. Now she's hoping people won't pursue that and instead answer her questions about that rocking roll music thing.]

I know I get like that sometimes, but mostly because of the new place and all.

[Not sure if the same reason or maybe.]

So you probably are not imagining it.

Rockin roll music? Is that some kind of style?

Re: video;

[innocent_royal]

I think so. This one girl said it's something you can sing and dance to.

[She paused, trying to think of her name.]

I forgot to ask her what her name was.

Oh, maybe there is a record store around Genessia that you can check out. See the area it might be under.

You want it? You've got it.

Play some Beatles! She doesn't know that either!

I like it! Thank you.

Welcome. Any time. And since someone brought up the Beatles... [have a dose of that too]
