Returning from a long sleep (Canon is s-Cry-ed)

[eternity_8]

Greetings Mun,

You know, it's really nice to have a vacation, but don't you think that five years was a bit much? Well, that's not important. Thank you for giving me the chance to socialize again. It's a comfort that you hadn't forgotten about me. Maybe someday you would allow me to prove my worth once again and app me into a game, yes? That would be most appreciated. Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to be rude and sound impatient.

I'm pleased that you're returning to school. Although I hadn't done much other than using my Alter powers for the betterment of everyone, I should have studied when I had the opportunity. Don't let yours slip away, okay?

[He sheepishly chuckles from his comment. Usually, he gets slapped for making such remarks.]

Yeah, I can't wear anything like that. It wouldn't go well with my physique. Still, it's nice on you. I have a question, in this Facility place that my mun is looking at, do you have any idea what it's like there? I am curious.

[shadowfrost]

I'm heading there soon, as I've been told. I'm not exactly happy to be going back to prison.

[ Read "not exactly happy" as "being tempted to cast a huge ice spell on everyone close by" and you'll have her feelings down pat. ]

[eternity_8]

It's a prison? I thought it was a space station. [sighs] I guess it's my fault that she's sending me there.

[Tachibana's interest is heightened for a moment.]

What do you mean, going back? Were you in prison before?

[shadowfrost]

It's a space prison, I suppose...as nonsensical as it sounds. [ A Witch calling something nonsensical, oh the hilarity. ]

It isn't a pleasant experience. That's all I'll say about it.

[eternity_8]

Well, I suppose any place where there's no escape could be viewed as a prison of a sort. The possibility of going stir crazy could pose a problem. I guess I'll find out when I get there.

Oh, by the way, my name is Asuka Tachibana. It's a pleasure to meet you. Do you know why you're going?

[It's not that much of a stretch calling anything nonsensical when the weird is taken into account.]

[shadowfrost]

Fatima... [ She nods a little in greeting before shrugging at the question. ]

As far as I know, I'm going because she thinks it would be funny.

[eternity_8]

Why would your suffering be funny? I never could understand the humor in watching someone in pain. I guess it's the sadistic nature of these muns. I'm sorry. I know what you're going through.

[He tries to offer a comforting smile.]

[shadowfrost]

I can handle myself without needing the sympathy of others. Wherever she sends me, I'll do what I need to in order to survive. [ She's well used to that sort of thing. ]

[eternity_8]

My apologies. I didn't mean to trivialize through being patronizing in any way. Either way, you do what you have to in order to survive. I should do well to remember that.

[He's going to learn some pretty hard lessons, that's for sure.]

[shadowfrost]

[ She waits for a moment before speaking again, and this time her voice is softer. ]

From what I've learned, the only way you can be hurt there is to lose your own conviction to survive. If your will is strong enough, you'll do fine.

[eternity_8]

[His voice drops equally as soft.]

Understood. It's no different than -- well that's inconsequential since it's pretty obvious I'm not going home now.
