Old muse back again, Homeless, no real plans.

[thelegacyofmadmen]

Okay, so I help save the world, spend almost half a year doing it, finally finish my mission, and my final reward is that I wind up in your head. And I'm stuck with a name that constantly reminds me I'm not normal, no goal, and nothing to look forward to.

Great.

You could have at least come up with some sort of plan before you dragged me out here. I know skin-of-my-teeth is normal operating procedure for you...and most of my friends, if I'm being fair...but that doesn't mean I have to work like that also.

I mean, right now I'd rather be fighting off a J'avo attack than doing this. That's how tedious this is.

Okay, maybe not. A zombie attack, at least. Except that means a lot of people would have to die..

Erm.

I'd rather be doing paperwork, okay? And that's pretty bad!

Think of it as an extended and forced vacation. I have a feeling we're both going to need 'em.

[thelegacyofmadmen]

I'd rather get back to normal work. Less monster filled work. I already had a twelve year 'vacation' of not getting to do what I want.

[badborscht]

After enough time in the field, a little paperwork can actually seem like a well-deserved rest.

[thelegacyofmadmen]

Yes, I get that now.

Although I think I passed 'enough' time several months ago.

[badborscht]

From the sound of things, you provided crucial support to the mission. Are you saying you would have preferred not getting involved?

[thelegacyofmadmen]

What? No. Of course not.

I...just would've preferred if it had gone differently, that's all.

[badborscht]

The wheel of fate is difficult to turn back.

[thelegacyofmadmen]

More like impossible. Trust me, no one wishes we could do it more than me.

[punches_boulders]

I hear ya. Still, don't be too eager to be thrown into the fray again. Trust me, I wish I had taken more time between tracking leads on Wesker and volunteering for random missions.

[badborscht]

After all you've witnessed, would you actually consider such a thing impossible?

[thelegacyofmadmen]

Time travel? Yes. Of course.

Everything that happened can be explained with science. I mean, don't get me wrong. It would be nice to think it's possible, but it's a dream.

You can't hold onto those forever.

[badborscht]

Sending man into space was once just a dream as well. The word "impossible" has found itself rather devalued as time goes on.

[thelegacyofmadmen]

Fine. Unlikely? Implausible? Not going to happen soon enough to help me?

Are we really talking about this now?

[badborscht]

If I were to tell you that a certain organization was on the cusp of being able to literally rewrite history, would you perhaps be more invested in this conversation?

[thelegacyofmadmen]

...Maybe.

But you're not from the same, what, world as me? Isn't that how this works?

[badborscht]

Truth be told, I'm still getting my bearings with this "roleplay" business. All I'm suggesting is that there may be a way to achieve exactly what you want.

[thelegacyofmadmen]

If you're anything like Claire I doubt you would've had any luck sitting around, Chris.

[thelegacyofmadmen]

How does it work where you're from?

[badborscht]

It doesn't, not yet anyway. I can't give much information other than that it requires very specific criteria from the ones operating it.

[punches_boulders]

Heh, maybe. But I'd much rather be helping her refit another motorcycle than fighting BOW's.

[here_take_this]

At least you got to grow up. [Hey Sherry, meet mini!you, who's currently sipping at a juice box watching her older self]

[thelegacyofmadmen]

I guess.

I've done that a couple times with her. It's not really...any...fun.

[thelegacyofmadmen]

So it's probably a one-off, never work again thing?

[thelegacyofmadmen]

[Okay. This is weird.]

Well, you have to grow up eventually. Right?

[here_take_this]

I don't want to be taken away from Leon though... even though where I am he disappeared. So did Daddy. [She frowns a little.] Claire's there though, and her brother!

You're still friends with Claire?
