Homeless but caught in a wave of nostalgia, canon is gundam wing

[colonially]

Really, I think it's nice, that you're revisiting things you loved when you were young. It's pretty nostalgic. Aah, I know some things are just a little ridiculous, but--

...I suppose you can consider it all canon review, if you want to look at it that way. I just didn't expect...

I mean, if you wanted to take me somewhere that would be all right. I like seeing new places. Meeting new people.

Mm. It could be nice!

[forsakenwood]

My mun, she understands the nostalgia of yours. Often does it come at inopportune times.

[colonially]

Mm! I think that's a pretty fair way to describe it. Even so, it's a little nice, to be remembered.

[forsakenwood]

There are very little who wish to be forgotten.

[seasidememories]

You'd better be careful. Nostalgia is how I got stuck here. It's pretty strong stuff.

[colonially]

It's true! Being forgotten is a lonely sort of thing.

Though my mun insists she never forgets.

[colonially]

It really is! But is it such a bad thing, getting stuck somewhere? Then again I guess it really depends on the place.

[seasidememories]

I think it must. It would suck if you were without your friends. Or trapped in the middle of the arctic. How does anyone go fishing out there?

[colonially]

Being without your friends really does sound like the worst thing.

The arctic sounds cold. I don't really like cold very much. Though I barely know how anyone goes fishing in places that aren't the arctic.

[forsakenwood]

Mine cannot claim the same.

Has she any plans to place you?

[colonially]

No, nowhere yet. I guess we're really just starting to look.

[seasidememories]

Fishing is fun. And tasty. Mm, fish.

Hey! If your mun sends you off some place, ask her to let you learn how to fish there! You're really missing out.

And always make sure you've got plenty of friends at your side.

[stillshinigami]

Good t'see you putting your best foot forward, Quat'.

[colonially]

I'll be sure to mention it! I suppose it'd be a good thing to know how to do.

Mm! I'll do my best.

[colonially]

Trying, anyway! Always trying my best.

[Paaaaaause. Squint.]

Duo?

[stillshinigami]

The one and only.

And...[He runs a hand through his hair.] Kind of a shock, isn't it?

[colonially]

Well, in a way that's putting it pretty mildly. [A little laugh.]

But it's a good look on you.

[stillshinigami]

Thanks. Everyone else says they miss the braid. It'd just be pain to grow it out again.

That jacket's a good look on you too... P stands for Preventer, huh? No kidding.

[colonially]

I can imagine. Of course, there are always hair extensions. [He's probably teasing. Probably.]]

Ah, well, yeah that's what it stands for! Is it a little surprising?

[stillshinigami]

[He makes a face. Such a face. Yeaaah he's not pleased by that suggestion. Grunt.]

Let's not and say we did, huh?

And yeah. Actually since we over threw the Bartons that's the big new thing.

[colonially]

[Ha! Success. He laughs a quiet little laugh.]

Probably for the best.

Overthrew the Bartons?

[stillshinigami]

[Scritch scritch the back of his neck.]

Eeh. Yeah.

You're from that other timeline, arncha? The one with the war ending on christmas?

...Quatre. [Hesitant.] I don't think you wanna know.

[colonially]

Yes, that's right.

Duo...

[His voice is quiet, small, uncertain.] It's that bad?

[stillshinigami]

Heh. Parts of it.

The big parts are pretty bad, yeah.

But don't worry about it, Q-ball. Not really a big deal as far as you're concerned.

[colonially]

And what about as far as you're concerned?

[stillshinigami]

I'm alright.

Even with being in two games? Or if I'm back home? Things are alright. I wish I got to hang out with the guys more often, and you're off on Earth on a project. [He shrugs. So what if he's a little bit emotionally detached. He made it through and he's trying to find something in this world to hold on to.]

[colonially]

[There's a smile here, it's just much sadder than smiles are supposed to be.]

That sounds like you. Always all right. So I believe it, but still...

A project?

[stillshinigami]

[He accepts the smile with a nod.]

Eh. Well. Answering that question opens a whole another can of worms there, pal.

Let's just say it's the good will project of the generation.

[colonially]

This is all very enigmatic, you know. It all sounds complicated. But maybe that's not surprising either.

[stillshinigami]

It's hard to talk about.

When I first met my double he didn't deal with it well, and I really don't want you to react that way.

Maybe later.
