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~!

[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.]

[reaperchop]

Is your mundane planning to send you somewhere else? Or given you indication that she doesn't want you to be there anymore?

[He's curious as to how these muns work because he thought you only left those games when your mun gets bored of you.]

However, you have been working with Liz at the very least, haven't you? It's still a step forward, Kiddo. You're using only one gun willingly.

[soulsymmetrical]

She's contemplated sending me to other places, but not removing me from Somarium. Even so, things could change and I can't grow complacent.

We still haven't properly resonated, and since this world is different from ours, there's no way I could advance her or Patti to actual Deathscythes.

[reaperchop]

Y'know, it wouldn't hurt if you enjoyed yourself every once in a while. Just took a breather and relaxed. It might help loosen you up enough to be able to establish a resonance connection.

[soulsymmetrical]

It's hard to relax when there are threats and dangers that happen at least once every other month.

[reaperchop]

Yes, but when's the last time that you took some time away from preparing for what's next to, say, play a game of basketball with your friends?

[soulsymmetrical]

...

[uh...er... .... .......last real recreational activity was that skateboard race with Beat. ....months ago. of course in the future of this thread he'll be participating in a horror movie marathon and somehow be attacked by three (slightly) older girls but that's for later. ...uh.]

...I suppose you have a point.

[reaperchop]

[Death sighs.]

Please tell me you at least remember the last time you spent time relaxing with friends.

[soulsymmetrical]

[it's Kid, okay. once he's in work mode it's hard to get him out of it.]

Yes, I do.

[reaperchop]

Oh good! I was about to get more worried!

[soulsymmetrical]

There's nothing to worry about, Father.

[reaperchop]

I'm always going to worry about you, Kiddo. I'm your father. It's in the job description. You'll understand when you have kids of your own someday.
