Return

... Well, well. I believe that was my first experience with "droning". Hmhm. If I had to put the experience into words, it's like waking up from a dream. Here I am, but not quite in my old house. A minor change if anything else.

There's no need to worry anymore, my friends. Your good friend, the Doctor, has returned and hopefully, permanently.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this second warm welcome.

[Private to KINGDOM]

And to you, my true friends. How have you been? I hope I haven't missed anything during this inconvenient absence. Give me a full report on everything that has happened.

Things should liven up now that you have been returned to the game board.

Valentine's Day was of no particular interest.

"Love" is nowhere near as exciting as the thrill found only in a game of life and death, hm?

My favorite games are those that have no love in them at all.

Removing the love from a game can be fun as well, though.

[doctor_despot]

Oh. "Removing the love from a game"... My, Bernkastel, perhaps you really are as cruel as you claim to be. I had no idea.

[The Doctor only chuckles though. He approves, of course.]

The games witches play are by nature cruel, but I don't think anything else would be quite as interesting.

I admit, I think I'd like to play a game like that one day. Conquests and subjugation can only keep one's self busy for a long time.

That is, if you wouldn't mind playing with or against a king of demons.

Playing in such company really only makes the game better; if you play against someone who will not fight to their final breath and beyond the game isn't nearly as interesting as it could be.
