looking into not being homeless.

[praises]

Again?

[ it's been a long, long time. ]

I'll have to ask you to think about something like this a little more carefully than the last time. Even if you consider someone like me still necessary, it'd be nice to not have reservations.

I'm sure you think so, too.

[jesus_is_gundam]

Allelujah Haptism. Its been some time.

[Sup bro?]

[praises]

Setsuna. [ yep he sure did kind of miss you. ] Almost too long.

Have you been well?

[jesus_is_gundam]

Well enough. [He has his Gundam? At least.]

Yourself?

[praises]

Idle. I thought maybe I could have been content with that, but...

[ It wouldn't be the first time he'd been wrong about himself. ]

This is how it is.

[jesus_is_gundam]

So it seems.

I hear you may be heading to where I am.

[praises]

That's her plan. What do you think?

[jesus_is_gundam]

There are a lot of people to talk to. You'll like it.

[praises]

I see. And... [ WHAT IS SURE, HE'S NEVER SURE. ] Our situation is?

[jesus_is_gundam]

We haven't been compromised. Most of the community believes that we either work for- or are students of- a special Engineering school. We aren't at odds with them. [Unlike a certain other place. Though he kind of has the sense that you might have meant something else.]

...

Feldt's been very worried about you.

[praises]

[ It's any number of places or times, truthfully. But he's relieved all the same. ]

An engineering school, is it? As far as our long-term position is concerned, it doesn't seem bad. Coming from you like this as well. It's almost surprising, really.

[ PUNCH HIM IN THE FEELINGS WHY DON'T YOU ]

Feldt has?

[jesus_is_gundam]

[Have a look Allelujah. Surprising, is it?] The cover serves our needs, for now, and very few people there know anything about our world. They don't talk about anything important. [It's still just the internet. Only its on more of a multiworld wide web.]

Its been some time since anyone there was able to locate you. [What with you kind of being stuck in a hole in former HRL territory.]

[praises]

[ Down, boy. It prompts a wary smile. ] It sounds like you're speaking favorably of it. There are a lot of people out there, Setsuna. Shouldn't it be all right to listen?

[ You know what that 'F.' stands for? SETSUNA FEELINGS-PUNCHER SEIEI. ]

So that's what it's come to. I suppose I'll have a lot of apologies to make, won't I?

[jesus_is_gundam]

[He's kind of annoyed by the cover. And by the community. But he'll deal.] I suppose.

[Apologizing for being stuck in jail strikes him as odd, admittedly.]

I think it'd be the other way around. [Not that Setsuna will ever actually say "I'm sorry," but you know what he means.]

[praises]

[ This is Allelujah we're discussing. Losing and getting himself captured constitutes a 'My bad' in his book.

It gives him a start, though. He does know what you mean, so he'll leave it at that. ]

I'd like to see her again.

[jesus_is_gundam]

[It does, but not being able to find you and bring you home for four years is on the rest of them.]

...she'd like that.

[If you want to read anything into that, you do so at your own peril.]

[praises]

[ Never let it be said that Hallelujah was the only tenacious one out of the two. It's the forgiveness that's all his.

AND I THINK WE'VE ALL HAD ENOUGH PERIL FOR NOW. ]

What about the others?

[jesus_is_gundam]

[He almost answers with "They'd like that,too," which they would. But he guesses you meant that you want an actual status report.]

Tieria is fine. Lockon is as well, as is everyone else.

Nena. Trinity. Works directly under us now.

[Can you hear the (unsure) in his voice there?]

[praises]

[ Right back at you. ] Trinity? The Throne pilot?

[ And everyone was okay? No missing limbs? Grievous particle beam wounds? ]

[jesus_is_gundam]

[Yep. You heard him right.]

[praises]

As it is now, I can't really question why. There must be a reason though.

Even if I can see why you'd be uneasy.

[jesus_is_gundam]

Whatever the reason, she's our responsibility now.

[Pause]

She's not your replacement. [Don't ask why he feels the need to point that out.]

[praises]

[ That kind of almost amuses him in some small way. ] Thanks for the reassurance.

[jesus_is_gundam]

...

[...right.]

How long until you're expected to arrive?

[praises]

Within the week. Though that's a haphazard estimate.

[sensuality]

Hey don't think like that. Be positive!

[praises]

With this kind of track record... [ He catches himself before he can get too far long there. ]

Still, I'll go where she sends me. That's just the duty that I have.

[a_new_innovator]

Allelujah?

You are going to be sent somewhere?

[praises]

[ Ah. ] Anew, it's good to see you.

Yes, it seems like that's the case now. Though it's been a while and my mun may be doubting her capabilities.

[a_new_innovator]

[She smiles] It's good to see you.

Mine has the same problem from time to time with other muses. I'm sure she will do just fine.

[praises]

[ He returns it, if only briefly. It's genuine. ] You're looking well too. I'm glad.

I can't say I don't understand how she feels at times. The encouragement is appreciated, though. Especially considering the fact that I may end up joining you.

[a_new_innovator]

You are too.

That would be fun for you to join us. Then we will have almost all of the Meisters.

[praises]

Almost, huh?

[a_new_innovator]

Oh never mind. My mun forgot one. Then we'd have all of them.

[praises]

Somehow, that's even better news.

[a_new_innovator]

It is. I know they'd be happy to see. And I would to when join the group.

[praises]

I'll look forward to it, then.

[a_new_innovator]

Hopefully it won't be long before you join us.

[givesherflower]

Alellujah! I'm glad to see you're alright.

[praises]

Feldt. [ UGH HE IS SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU. ] I am. And I'm grateful to see that you are, too.

[givesherflower]

[MUTUAL HAPPINESS AND RELIEF??? It's been nearly four years since she saw him in her game... or anywhere really.] Thank you.
