Once again, the winner of this game gets a real prize, accommodated by yours truly. This can be in the form of a detailed story on common trivia, a shiny toy procured, or something else altogether. The prize is a secret--winning depends on your luck and intelligence. And to up the stakes, you get no passes to assist in your survival--so do try hard, now.

If you can translate, you'll get an even better surprise.

[Because this is Kurama we're talking about.... :| ]

Does this language use English letters?

[purgatio]

You'll have to guess. I don't answer for free. =)

[vulpinisms]

[Wow. Luck indeed.]

E.

[purgatio]

Correct by a few.

[vulpinisms]

[Lineface.]

T.

[purgatio]

Correct again!

[vulpinisms]

N.

[purgatio]

Yes.

[vulpinisms]

[At this point, since it seems clear that this is some sort of European language, he figures that he should go for common letter combinations. AN and AT have already been taken care of. AS is the next.]

S.

[purgatio]

You have quite the luck. Correct.

[vulpinisms]

And perhaps I just have statistics on my side.

[Classmates said he was a genius. It was really less genius and more the employment of shortcuts. Why would you memorize each spelling of a word in English class when you could memorize common letter patterns instead? It made a lot more sense.]

Well, looks like someone else got to it before I could. Do you do this often?

[purgatio]

Statistics is a but more firm in logic at least.

I used to do it every day. Now that there's things to win, it's every other day or so.

[vulpinisms]

And you do this for the amusement factor?

[purgatio]

More or less. Once you've been here for a while, there's much that sustains your boredom level.

[ Despite him doing this from when he first came here... ]

[vulpinisms]

Is that so? So you've been here a while?

Are you always the one who decides the prizes?

[purgatio]

A bit over three weeks now.

Of course. It's my game.

[vulpinisms]

So you've been here a while then.

[Ah, well. It was worth a shot.]

May I ask what sorts of prizes you've given out before? To up the motivation factor?

[purgatio]

Yes. And finding salves for boredom comes in many a design.

You can ask but I won't say. It's a surprise for a reason. Though there are examples in the main post. Information, toy weapons, or other hard to find items. That sort of thing.

[a_sin_for_him]

You guess a letter, right?

[purgatio]

Yes. Any letter you wish.

[a_sin_for_him]

A.

[purgatio]

Correct by a bit.

[a_sin_for_him]

D.

[purgatio]

Incorrect.

[a_sin_for_him]

Hmm.

V.

[purgatio]

Incorrect again.

[inamatus]

Still playing, huh?

-R.Aoyagi

[purgatio]

[ Ritsuka, can you feel the euphoria in this note? Because it's there. Someone is pleased you replied.... ]

Of course! Not playing? I miss you!

[inamatus]

[WHOA, hello, Albedochans. That was unexpected.]

Hey. Yeah, sorry. Just woke up awhile ago and my head's not on straight yet. How've you been?

-R.Aoyagi

[purgatio]

[ ...What, he just wants to touch spend time with his friend.... ]

...Uh. Weird. A lot of stuff has happened lately. I don't think it's bad though.

[inamatus]

[...i see that strikethrough. I see it.]

You okay though? I mean, weird stuff is kind of par for here, so if it's weirder than that weird stuff, it's a bit worrisome.

-R.Aoyagi

[purgatio]

[ You see nothing. ]

I think I am, honestly. I don't feel as alone anymore.

[inamatus]

[Oh...that's a good answer, Albedo. It makes him smile.]

Good. I'm glad. Things are better then?

-R.Aoyagi

[purgatio]

[ Some half starts. ]

...I'll tell you about it. If you like. But not here.

Yes, though. I think so.

[inamatus]

I'll listen if you want, but if it's something you want to keep to yourself, that's okay, too.

I see that someone won the game. Interesting choice. It's different from the usual.

-R.Aoyagi

[purgatio]

No, I can tell you.

...Oh? [ He's pleased you caught on, bb. ] How is it different?

[inamatus]

Alright, later on then?

And it's different from your usual theme. I'm rusty still, but it's not as [pen taps] dark as usual.

-R.Aoyagi

[purgatio]

Yeah, later on.

Ah, maybe. Depends on how you view things. "Lovers are lunatics," is the phrase. Seemed apt.

[inamatus]

Alright.

The phrase seemed apt? I won't argue the meaning, but does it have to do with whatever's going on?

-R.Aoyagi

[purgatio]

A bit, maybe. It might just be all talk as well.

[propheteer]

U.

[purgatio]

Correct.

[propheteer]

And perhaps M?

[purgatio]

And you win.~ Care to wager the meaning before we get into your winnings?

[propheteer]

Ah, what luck! Of course, most of the work was already done by the time I joined.

As for the meaning... alas, I do not know. While I recognize the language — Latin, isn't it? — it's not a phrase I'm familiar with. I can only wager it has something to do with love, if one of those words is a form of 'amo'.

[purgatio]

True. Still you were the one with the final say.

Latin. And you're on the right track.

I'll contact you later on your test and prize.
