Adding to all the moving over posts. Canon is Tales of the Abyss

Mun.

Don't mistake my impatience for you as ingratitude; I do appreciate the effort to import everything over and the new journal name. I do prefer it than the old one.

But your continued persistence in trying to tag at my old homes is frankly idiotic. If the appearance is making you sick and you can't look at it for more than twenty minutes, then stop going there.

...I will miss everyone I've met, and leaving things undone puts a bad taste in my mouth, but they will understand. Most are talking about moving themselves. Do not continue to force it when you have better things on the horizon.

--I have to say that I agree with you. If the layout makes her sick, it doesn't make sense to force herself to tag there.

You can do better.

[selenia]

Logically, yes.

It is the matter of a number of games and commitments made to people in them. After having fought to stay in them, she is less willing to abandon them, regardless of her well-being.

[designated_hero]

Perhaps... [head tilting] If she doesn't mind abstaining from using icons -- and I know my mun isn't planning to pay for those anymore -- perhaps she could tag from her inbox.

[selenia]

I will pass the message along to her.

[A bitter sigh.]

At the very least, she should not leave open business undone. Finish what is started, and leave then.

[designated_hero]

That's a good way to go about it. If nothing else, leave with a clean slate.

I wish my mun had that motivation. [all the disappoint in his voice. can you hear it]

[selenia]

I'm not implying she has it either. What she should to is very different from what she wants to do.

[Her tone is bitter too. The whole situation is far from ideal.]

She is even considering just starting something here on her own, but that's far from what she should be considering, given her history.

[designated_hero]

[heh] Yours, too? I think mine has started -- half a dozen different games, of which the only successful one is still consuming all of her time. Still, she's so impatient for a Dreamwidth game that... [here we are]

[selenia]

Unfortunately, yes.

Doing such now would be hasty and end in disaster. At least two of the games she has forced me in are considering moving, once the means are able, and researching what is already available is a far better option.

? A game that...?

[designated_hero]

I should consider myself lucky that her main game is already off Livejournal.

She did have a game on Dreamwidth once. It didn't really take off, but she's been considering dusting it off and maybe offering it to someone to start up again, if not starting it up again herself.

[selenia]

Fortunate in one way, at least. [She has a good idea of the game he's talking about, and she wouldn't count being in prison as lucky.]

[She shuts her eyes in thought.] Perhaps now is the right climate to start a game, not then.

[designated_hero]

[he's kind of buying a house?] Exactly. Perhaps now it would find an audience it didn't, then.

I don't think she's quite far gone enough to do it herself. But the pining is almost tangible.

[selenia]

[Nice prison.]

At the very least, it should be considered. If there's an interest for it, perhaps more. If my mun or I could assist in some way, I know we would both be happy to help.

[designated_hero]

Well, you should determine if the premise interests you. At worst right now she might tidy it up and offer to hand it over to someone interested. Moderating one big game is... really quite enough for her.

[selenia]

[She nods. The premise is certainly unique, and she isn't quite confident in being around dragons, but, all hypothetical.]

Have you or she plans in the immediate future, regarding the situation?

[designated_hero]

Right now her plans are along the lines of "sit around and wait".

[the_necromancer]

I have to thank you Tear.

Your arrival suddenly gave my mundane the inspiration to bring me back.

[selenia]

Colonel Curtiss. It's good to see you here as well.

[the_necromancer]

Aren't we past the point of you using my family name?

Or are you from a different point in history?

[selenia]

That would make it difficult to tell without knowing when you are from. ..it has been, for me, almost a year since Eldrant. [An awkward pause.] Jade. What do you remember?

[the_necromancer]

That would be a lengthy story.

How about I simply say I remember a reunion between yourself and Luke?

[selenia]

...a reunion?

[Don't tease her here Jade, she hasn't seen the epilogue yet.]

[the_necromancer]

Then we aren't from the exact same time.

Tell me, has Luke been considered dead already?

[selenia]

..they did not find his body in the remains.

Do you mean that you've seen Luke? That he comes back, in the future?

[the_necromancer]

Yes. I haven't fully been able to look into how he managed it but my belief is, it has something to do with the fact that Asch did not return with him.

[selenia]

I'm afraid I don't understand.

[There were things in the notes they found in Ortion Cavern about...replicas being absorbed into the originals, but that would mean Asch would come back, and Jade mentioned Luke.]

[the_necromancer]

To put it simply; I think Asch intercepted Luke and consciously gave him control when they merged. It is possible but no one has been recorded doing such a thing.

[reize_seatlan]

If it would help, my father gave me an advice that I had to give my mun, and it helped him to move on.

Knight's Vow #77: Worrying does not revert the past.

It is no point to look back at the past. The star is upon the horizon, so we'll have to chase that star for a brighter future.

My mun and I have made some agreements on redoing our home and its worked out for the better. I hope yours end the same way!

[selenia]

[A small smile at that.]

It's excellent advice. Especially at this time.

If I may, where have you and your mun gone too?

[reize_seatlan]

[A frown a moment later.]

Sadly, no where yet. By nature, I am an explorer, yet I have not quite found a place to travel that we can quite call home yet.

[A smile just a moment later.]

Yet, my mun and I have not given up. Adventure awaits us somewhere. We'll find a place. It'll just be the matter where the star leads us.

[selenia]

I see.

You're very optimistic.

[reize_seatlan]

Ah!!!

Th-thanks!

I've learned in my travel that I need to continue chasing the star. ...It does not stop for anyone. If you let any worries stop you, the star will leave you behind.

As a star chaser, I cannot falter from that.

[fonicfraccion]

[Oh hi there, Tear. <3]

Hmm... so many people coming here now. I'm rather enjoying the company.

[selenia]

[Why hello there~]

...Luke?

[fonicfraccion]

[Don't mind the Bleach crossover bastard; he's supposed to be this creepy.]

Yes.

[selenia]

[And mindfuck in three, two..]

You're alive. [She can hardly contain her surprise, but she's trying.] Have you been here, this whole time?

[fonicfraccion]

I am also present in the place your mundane is escaping from, but yes, I have been in this place for quite some time.

[It's a hell of a mindfuck. By the way, there's this "mask" on the side of his face. It looks like a G-clef. It's made of bone. AND IT'S ATTACHED TO HIS SKULL.]

[selenia]

[Something about the conversation is setting her teeth at edge. He looks like Luke, but the mask, the cadence to his voice...]

What happened to you?

[fonicfraccion]

[Luke tilts his head to the side, considering...]

That is a very long and difficult to accept story. Are you sure you want to hear it?
