Congratulations to everyone who participated in the election -- I was kind of surprised about the result, but I'm really grateful to the people who voted for me. Thank you for your faith in me -- I'll try my hardest not to let you down! And to the rest of the student government, I'm looking forward to working with you.

[She looks a little bit nervous for a moment, but pushes forward:]

I've been meaning to ask, is there anyone who wouldn't mind me praticing my power on them? It's just that I want to be able to use it to help people, and I'd hate to use it on anyone without their knowledge...

Anyway, thank you!

I couldn't do much.

[martyrerkomplex]

You stood up to him anyway. Not everyone would be able to do that, you know.

[stophamatime]

What happens matters more, doesn't it?

[martyrerkomplex]

And what happened was that we both came away safe. Right?

[Okay, so she might have gotten... a little beat up. But it seems terribly unsubtle to point it out directly.]

[stophamatime]

After he hit you.

[It's okay, Ken will be unsubtle for her.]

[martyrerkomplex]

...I'm sorry. My roommate told me I should have been more careful...

But you weren't hurt. And it wasn't as bad as it looked, I promise!

[stophamatime]

I'm sorry.

[martyrerkomplex]

It's alright! I'm not hurt at all now, see?

[She strikes a cheerful little pose.]

[stophamatime]

Well, no, but...

["now" is a very important word, Krista!]

[martyrerkomplex]

It all turned out fine. And I'm really happy that you're alright...

[stophamatime]

I'm glad you're okay now.

[martyrerkomplex]

It's alright. You don't have to worry.
