On the continued life of CRAUs

[kuukai]

Well, who said my story needs an end? Sometimes th’best stories go on ferever. Played Skyrim lately?

[ The beargirl is sitting on a ledge, contemplating a nearly-full box of Pocky. She rubs the gem embedded in her chest periodically. ]

S’jus’ a matter of whether or not yer tellin’ it. Ya can’t see ev’ry star from Earth, an’ ya can’t find ev’ryone on facebook. [ Sudden grin. ]

I wouldn’ worry. I’ll be around. An’ ya don’ haveta worry abou’ me goin’ away, neither.

I know where home is.

I am really not looking forward to life as a CRAU if you guys are all this...

...bittersweet? Like you're sad but you're OK with it.

[kuukai]

Uh. We all are? I thought this was just me.

Or magical girls. Either one.

[justoutrunyou]

Nah you're like...the third one.

I dunno I guess I'm not much better. I've gone through so many people just in my first game that sometimes it's like...oh someone else I liked died? Must be Monday.

[kuukai]

[ Letting out a long breath. ]

Well yeah. I mean... it was almost easier back when I knew I'd only haveta die once.

[justoutrunyou]

Well...come on help me out. This is my first time going to another world with my memories in tact from the last game.

Got any advice to make it less horrible?

[spontaneouscombustion]

Hey, Kyouko! Long time no see!

[Pinkie Pie WOULD be much more energetic since it's been a while, but... well what does Kyouko mean?

She WILL give a gentle hug, though.]

[kuukai]

[ She has time to blink maybe once before getting hugged by the pink pony, and throws her arms around Pinkie in a fierce bear hug. ]

No shit. Where th'hell have ya been? Who th'hell didja think was gonna do parties on gemworld without ya?

[spontaneouscombustion]

[That gets a sheepish grin out of the pony, even as her hug tightens.]

Well... my party planning prowess was getting party pooped by all the sad stuff going on. Not to mention I was hanging out with WAY more people than Munny could keep up with, especially when she went to the woods.

[Ah, muse/mun energy disparities.]

[kuukai]

Nah, I hear ya. Not blamin' ya. Jus' sayin' I missed ya.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Mm I missed you too. How have things been since you left?

[cyan_maid]

Hey Kyouko.

[It's nice to see a familiar face around these parts every once in a while. It really is.]

You look like you're doing well.

[kuukai]

Hey. [ It's impossible to hide her grin. ] How's th'bakery?

[cyan_maid]

It's going as well as it can be. I ended up losing a fair amount of people around Thanksgiving, but...well, that's not something that was in my control.

[kuukai]

Hey, yeah. Shit happens. Sorry abou' tha', though.

Bay's still intact? Temple's still ... got people in it?

[caneattheseapples]

Shit girl, look at your furry ass, all getting philosophical.

You doing alright?

[kuukai]

Uh, yeah, a bit. [ Hey, Japple. ]

Startin' ta think s'a smaller world'n I thought around here.

[caneattheseapples]

Usually pretty much is, or small multiverse, or what the hell ever.

Your right though. You know where home is, and that's most important. Cause it'll always be there.

[kuukai]

[ She shrugs, kind of noncommittally.

Before pulling the other pony into a hug. ]

[ceasetoexist]

Sometimes it's better if you don't know the end of the story. Any story has to have a few decent twists, I guess.

I'm not surprised you're still around.

[kuukai]

Well, 'm not endin' it now if I can help it.

Not surprised ya are, neither. Bein' treated all righ'?

[ceasetoexist]

Hope you don't you get a say.

Same old crap, more or less. Trying to make myself useful.

[kuukai]

S'good. Tha' means a lot. Haven' given up on yerself yet.

[gigglesnortpriestess]

Hey Kyouko-chan, it's been awhile.

[Hi bear daughter]

[kuukai]

No kiddin'. Wha', a year?

[ You're getting a hug, mom. ]

[gigglesnortpriestess]

It feels like it. How have you been?

[Gladly take that hug.]
