Subject: Star S.: (tapping her foot impatiently, leaning against a wall) This was her final warning, where is she...?
In reply to: Iggy!, writing on behalf of Red Angel 's message, "To Star X. (IGGY!: Why do I have to write this for you?
RED: 'Cuz I'm too shy to do it myself...)" on 16:53:10 04/08/03 Tue

Star S.: (still waiting) I told her, this is her final chance. Now where is she...?
::Star Xikanthus walks in, seemingly out of nowhere. She sees her author, and then sighs, walking over to meet the inevitable::
Star X.: (looking downwards, speaking uncertainly) Um... Hi...
Star S.: You know, you've really been out of it, haven't you. Do you have anything to say for yourself?
Star X.: Um... Look, I'm sorry, I was kinda busy...
Star S.: For three MONTHS?
Star X.: It was only a month and a half...
Star S.: Don't get cheeky with me, young lady, I haven't even started.
Star X.: 'Young lady'? I'm almost a thousand times your age, and you have the nerve to call me a young lady?
Star S.: You know exactly what I mean, and quibbling over semantics with me will get you nowhere. Now, WHY have you been gone this long?
Star X.: (looking downwards and kicking at a non-existent stone) Um... I kinda... Sorta...
Star S.: (impatiently) Spit it out already, why in the
Star X.: ...You know, this isn't the best place to discuss this. (glares at her author) ...and you know that quite well, do you not?
Star S.: ...Alright, I concede the point. HOWEVER, (glares at Xikanthus) don't think you're getting out of it that easily. We're deferring the discussion 'til later, not dropping the matter.
Star X.: (meekly, hanging her head) Yes, ma'am.
Star S.: However, there's something else that I called you here to discuss.
Star X.: ...and that is...?
Star S.: *sighs* You are hoplessly unobservant sometimes, you know.
Star X.: It's one of my faults. We both share it.
Star S.: (muttering) Don't remind me... (normal tone) As I was saying, there has been a matter that has come up that has escaped your notice.
Star X.: ...This deals with me how?
Star S.: (hands Xikanthus a sheet of paper) Read it.
Star X.: (scanning the sheet) Oh... Dear... (starts blushing intensely, while simultaneously going pale)
Star S.: ...Well?
Star X.: Um... I have been gone a while, haven't I...?
Star S.: Is this you're way of saying you're about to go catatonic?
Star X.: Um... I think I had better go lie down...
Star S.: You do that. Think about it. That's all I'll say.
Star X.: Uh... Yeah... (wanders off, unsteadily)
Star S.: (watching Xikanthus as she leaves) Okay, she took it better than I expected. Which isn't saying much... I had better go after her, because she isn't in much of a shape to do anything at this point.

Okay, Red Angel, here's the deal. She's extremely drained and tired at this point, so, give her some time. She just got back from a long journey, so as I said, she's exhausted to the point of needing to sleep for a week straight. Literally. And she will, believe me or not. I'll make sure of that.

Give her a while. She's a bit unobservant when it comes to reading other's emotions towards her, a trait we both share. So, it's something of a shocking revelation to her. However, as I said, give her some time to get used to the idea. You don't have much to worry about, in terms of being afraid that she hates you or some nonsense like that. It's just that she's seeing you in a new light, and sometimes that's a bit hard on someone. Just give her time, I know I keep repeating it, but it's the truth.

Oh, and one more thing. Hurt her in any way, and I'll be very angry with you. VERY angry. Of all the characters I've created, she's my favorite (only Lianne comes close), and I really don't like people hurting her in any way, accidental or no. Capiche? I'm glad we understand each other.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I'll go make sure that she gets her week-long nap. (thinking out loud) If any one of them tries to disturb her...
::Star S. walks off in the same general direction that Star X. took in her unsteady departure.::
