Oriko Mikuni | Homeless (though maybe HH I have no idea)

[fortheworld]

...As I have forseen.

Do you truly feel wise in plucking me from a doujin more than my canon source? Art is hardly everything to a piece. If this is some mad urge to be dropped when you inevitably lack the time, I will be sorely disappointed.

[oceansoftime]

I won't be. The sooner you're dropped, the better.

[fortheworld]

My my, are the hostilities to begin so soon? Were this the new world, we would have no cause to fight.

[oceansoftime]

New world or not, I haven't forgotten what you did.

[fortheworld]

'Saved the world', you mean?

[oceansoftime]

Don't flatter yourself. You did nothing of the sort.

[fortheworld]

...As distasteful as it was, there was no other alternative. Keeping her from contracting would fail. Keeping her from despairing would fail. You have seen it yourself, have you not?

[oceansoftime]

All I've seen is that I haven't tried hard enough--I haven't found the right way yet.

[fortheworld]

And how many worlds will you damn until you do?

[oceansoftime]

As many as it takes.

[fortheworld]

...


Truly, you and I shall never see eye to eye.

[oceansoftime]

No, I don't imagine we will.

[fortheworld]

You can always stop, you know. My offer still stands.

[oceansoftime]

You don't understand at all. I've already made a promise.

[fortheworld]

...Akemi Homura, the world should not have to die for your promises.

[oceansoftime]

The world will be fine once my promise has been kept.

[fortheworld]

For that world, perhaps. Those left behind will have to suffer your consequences.

[oceansoftime]

The timelines with unfavorable endings cease to exist when I rewind them. No one's "suffering" anything.

[fortheworld]

Can you prove that, or have you just assumed?

[oceansoftime]

Even if I'm wrong, it's of no concern to me. I'm only looking for a timeline that works out properly.

[fortheworld]

...That isn't healthy, you know.

[oceansoftime]

Are you suggesting I trust your definition of "healthy?"

[fortheworld]

In your state, I doubt you trust anything.

[oceansoftime]

All I need to trust in is myself.

[fortheworld]

Then what do you do when you're wrong?

[oceansoftime]

Learn from it and try something else.

[fortheworld]

...


[she's not getting through to you, is she?]

[oceansoftime]

*nope 8'D*

As you said, it seems it's impossible for us to see eye to eye.

[fortheworld]

Would Kaname Madoka agree with your methods, do you think?

[oceansoftime]

No, not right now. But that doesn't matter. She doesn't need to understand.

[fortheworld]

If it concerns her so much, I think she'd have a right to know.

[oceansoftime]

She did know. But . . . I can't reach her anymore.

[fortheworld]

...If it weren't for the Incubators, simply telling her she would become a world ending witch would have been enough...

[oceansoftime]

It's not that easy. I've tried to warn her before, her and the others. They never believe me . . . when they find out it's true, it just breaks them!

[fortheworld]

What even was her wish for? I could never understand that. That girl never seemed to be lacking for anything.

[oceansoftime]

*. . . . . .*

*Explaining this is going to be terrible, she can already tell*

. . . A cat . . .

[fortheworld]

...


Pardon?

[oceansoftime]

She wished to save an injured cat.

[fortheworld]

...


My what a troublesome girl...

[oceansoftime]

That's the kind of girl she is. She'd never hesitate to sacrifice herself for another. *Sounding somewhere between proud and troubled as she says this 8'D*

[fortheworld]

...All the more reason to tell her truth, surely?

[oceansoftime]

*uh sorry were you not listening??* All the more reason to keep her from our world as much as possible. Ideally, I'd prevent her from having any contact with Kyuubey.

[fortheworld]

Hardly practical, all things considered. If you sat her down and explained to her why this would save nobody, that really should be enough.

[oceansoftime]

I'm far past the point where that's possible.

[fortheworld]

How so?

...this is so late but. I couldn't not respond.

[justforyou]

You like art, Oriko?

[...way to miss the point, Kirika.]
