User: #B90B3C - To those whom it may concern

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

Hello again! Are you used to seeing my string of letters and numbers yet? I think I've spoken to you all often enough, or it feels like I have. It's Caramia!

This may feel a bit impersonal, as I am addressing all of you, but I hope you'll find comfort anyway. Even if you just needed it a little bit. Most of you have probably been victim to the constant proding and poking from the furniture, which is a sentence I never thought I'd write or say, but I'm sure I'll say stranger. Know that you're not alone, know that we realize it can be agonizing, and if you are tired or frustrated, know that above all else, we should understand. Obviously I can't speak for everyone, or even to everyone, but this is just for those who need it, I suppose?

We can get through this. If no one else, there's at least one person who believes in you.

Feel free to chatter with each other! Maybe give a compliment to someone? Say something nice? Counter all the negativity, if you will. If not, I'll be here for you. And if you'd rather not speak publically, I'm not hiding. I'll be in Ruga if you need an ear.

[ Dad... What are you doing, this is embarrassing... ]

That is truly an inspirational speech, Caramia-san. It is earnest and outstandingly thoughtful. However, I speak from experience when I say some people might troll you online for this...

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

[ LET HIM LIVE.... ]

I'm guessing troll means made fun of? Don't worry, I actually expect to hear something like that from my best friend-- I'm well prepared!

It's something I'm willing to endure if this helps at least someone who needed it.

[doublecrowss]

[ OKAY BUT..... ]

Precisely. Although I suppose it is easier to accomplish back where I come from. I don't think anyone has figured out a way to be anonymous in this network so far.

But I admire your initiative, and I can relate to it. Standing up for your beliefs even though you're opening yourself up to harsh criticism certainly takes courage.

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

[ He's doing his best. ]

Well, to those who have yet to reveal who they are around here are still technically anonymous in their own regards. There's probably even a good handful who don't care that they're known?

Thank you, though!! See, you're already getting the positive train going.

[ He's probably just saying that because he pitied walking in with things calling you a coward. ]

You're an idiot.

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

Oi, I said "something nice".

[crowsigliere]

Consider it praise, then.

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

In what world is it praise to be called an idiot?

Hello, Caramia-san--it's Minato. It's good to see a message like this with everything that's going on.

Have you been doing okay yourself?

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

Hopefully, everyone thinks the same? I know it's hard to appease everyone, though.

"Okay" might be relative. Considering our situation, I'm doing fine!

[messianic]

I guess that's true, but... if you're ever not feeling fine, that's okay too I think. You can let other people support you too, just like you're supporting others.

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

Hey now, that's my line! Thanks, signore. That means a lot! However, I'm not exactly afraid of letting people know how I'm feeling.

[ Unless that feeling is "sick", of course. ]

This is a very kind thing to post, Caramia. Right now what everyone needs is more positivity. Hopefully all of this stops soon.

Re: #21AAAC

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

I'm sure it will! Most of us are working so hard, the town won't have anything to complain about soon enough.

[dreidels]

What if it doesn't? What if it keeps finding things to complain about?

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

It will. It falls silent when we clean, so there's no way it can find something else to complain about when it's all cleaned.

Did you need help with cleaning?

this is really nice of you caramia!

i think as long as we all try to support each other and work together, we will get through this.

[It's ok Caramia, Estelle is taking you 100% seriously, unlike some people here.]

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

[ That's because Estelle is a sweet sunshine child, unlike some people. ]

My thoughts exactly! Especially in a situation like this. It's a little like a temporary famiglia, isn't it?

[brightlyshines]

[A sweet sunshine child with a big stick and a temper, you mean--

Though that word gives Estelle pause.]

a famiglia?

is that like a family?

[it sounded like the word, anyway.]

A wonderful thought to have and share. We must work together if we're to solve all the mysteries before us. A brilliant strategist I know back home said our bonds give us strength.

If anyone wishes to converse with me, my name is Maribelle. Should any of you need healing, I can help you there, as I brought my staff along with me. In addition, my horse also arrived, should someone need it.

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

They certainly sound brilliant! I whole-heartedly agree.

Nice to meet you, Maribelle. By "healing"... do you mean to say you're a doctor?

[troubadamsel]

Not in that sense. I'm a Valkyrie. It means I can use elemental tomes and healing staffs.

Caramia-san!!!

Your smile is really warm and makes people happy!

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

Aw, you'll make me blush, amico. Thank you! I'm glad I can make other people happy.

[doublesharp]

I think making a post like this is enough to cheer everyone up a little. It's easy to get down on yourself after having the furniture insult you...

So this is nice!
