Homeless, Possibly Forever

[reaperchop]

So you went through all that trouble to put together this account for me for no reason other than to have some fun from time-to-time?

Well, I can't argue with that! It's good to get out and stretch my legs so to speak!

And stop fretting over the name you entered in my profile. I've been around the block long enough to have earned a variety of names! Really, you'd be surprised how many ways different people address me. As long as they're familiar with who I am and it's not too rude, I don't mind~!

[guess where he learned that from, dad.]

We've made progress, but it's still rather trying.

[reaperchop]

[Okay, he might've deserved that...]

Yes, I can understand why.

So have you been able to resonate together yet?

[soulsymmetrical]

We can resonate and perform basic attacks, but not a full Soul Resonance.

[it's a miracle they've gotten that far in the month-ish time they've been (allegedly) working on it.]

[reaperchop]

[Shush. They've totally been working on it.]

I see...Well, not too surprising! I can't imagine it's easy to go from a team of three to a team of two after all!

[soulsymmetrical]

Particularly with my condition, no.

[reaperchop]

This is also true. However, you never let it get the best of you when it's truly important! I have the utmost faith in you mastering this!

[soulsymmetrical]

It will be difficult...but unless Patti appears, we really have no choice.

[reaperchop]

[Bobs up and down in agreement.]

Perhaps this will also help you with some of those issues overall.

[soulsymmetrical]

Do you really think that's even possible?

[reaperchop]

Don't underestimate your own determination, Kiddo! Besides, by training yourself to ignore something small you naturally perceive as unbalanced makes it easier to ignore other small things like that. It's just a matter of time and hard work!

[soulsymmetrical]

[well...he does have time in a sense. though that time is shortening.]

Then I'll continue to do so, Father.

[reaperchop]

[Wait. What is that supposed to mean?]

Good to hear. So, anything else interesting in that dream world of yours?

[soulsymmetrical]

[nothing.]

Define "interesting."

[reaperchop]

Oh you know: Strange, fun, exciting, anything like that, really!

[soulsymmetrical]

Hm...

Halloween is coming up, so I'm sure something will occur then. As for past events, things have been more on the turbulent side with recent attacks. We were evacuated to another city for about two months and have only recently returned to Somarium.

[unlike his head twin down there, he'll actually divulge information. well except maybe a couple of things.]

[reaperchop]

[You and your head twin are far too good students.]

Is that so? Nothing you couldn't handle, I hope?

[soulsymmetrical]

[of course. we're perfect.]

Not at all. However I was restricted due to the fact I had neither Liz or Patti with me at the time.

[and...well that reminds of him of his own failures back then and his voice does lower a bit.]

[reaperchop]

[Modest, too.]

Don't let it get you down! As long as you were able to get things done even with those limitations, that's something to be proud of! It shows just how flexible you've become!

[soulsymmetrical]

...

I could not save one of my friends.

[unlike his head!twin, he seems more forthcoming about his problems.]

[reaperchop]

Oh dear. But I don't quite understand. Isn't this dream world of yours rather forgiving when it comes to death? [Which kind of unnerves him, to be honest. Still, it'd be nice not to outlive his friends for once.]

[soulsymmetrical]

If to go by your terms, yes, and he has since returned to life. [and it repulses him just as much.]

But that isn't the point. I was there. I was right next to him when he was attacked. But he still died.

[and taking a breath.]

Don't worry, I've long since dealt with this, but it's only further testament that I'm not strong enough as I am now.

[reaperchop]

Sometimes, Kid, there's nothing even us death gods can do to stop things like that. You are quite accomplished, but you are still quite young. What you need most is time and experience.

[soulsymmetrical]

I know...but I don't know if I have enough time for that.

[reaperchop]

Oh? And what makes you think that?

[soulsymmetrical]

We were attacked once, it's likely it could happen again. I also don't know how long I'll actually be in this world.

[ignores the "FOREVER" voice.]

If I want to help prevent a catastrophe like before, I need to grow stronger more quickly than I have been. And I can't rely on Liz and Patti if they're not there.

[he of course does and he wishes they were there, but he knows all too well that he can't just rely on them. he needs to unlock his own powers.]
