I can't remember the last time I cut loose like this. It reminded me of the time before I founded the Theosophy Association, when I used to travel the world singing the praises of freedom.

@Helena
I was so carefree back then. No responsibilities,[sr]just going wherever the wind took me...

Not at all, my dear.[sr]All we ever wanted was for you to enjoy yourself.
[k]
@Nikola Tesla
Indeed. We always end up making trouble for you, so we thought you needed some much-deserved relaxation.

[charaFace C 1]
@Nikola Tesla
If anything, we wish you would rely on us more.[sr]That man there may only be good for mass production...
[k]
@Nikola Tesla
...but I can make any custom order your heart desires.
[k]
@Nikola Tesla
So whether you need something mass-produced,[sr]or something of high quality, you need only ask.

@Helena
...At any rate, I still never imagined I would actually end up winning.

[charaFace A 3]
@Helena
I guess it just goes to show what you can do when you put your mind to it.

@Helena
I admit, it HAD occurred to me that I could win thanks to the Mahatma's guidance...but I still couldn't have done it without you two helping me.

Well, I don't know about that.

@Holmes
I merely believed that trying my hand at playing the villain for once might make for an amusing change of pace.
