(So you really did cave under the pressure and decide to send me on another quest. You could have at least given me a little more time to relax. We just got back...)


(Well, it would be nice to see everyone again, maybe.... I know Himi was interested in going with. I wonder if anyone else will?)


(I wonder if the others will be able to come with us. That would be really great.)


(First of all, can you please fix my icons and emoticons?)

[OOC: If you have any questions about Matthew's communication, you can refer back to this thread.)

[This guy is pretty quiet himself probably because he's an adaptation of a silent protag. He gets you, bro.]

It'll work out okay.

[silentdescendant]

[Silent protag brofist]


(I wonder what kind of queet this will turn out to be.)

[strawberrypunch]

Hopefully it won't be hard.

[But then again...]

If you make friends there, it'll be easier.

[silentdescendant]

(Yeah! It sounds like a friend of mine might be coming.)

[strawberrypunch]

[That's a bright smile! He gets the idea, at least.]

That'll be good.

[silentdescendant]

(Yeah! I really look forward to seeing if any other friends will come along.

[strawberrypunch]

Good luck.

[From one silent protag to another o7]

[silentdescendant]

(Thanks. I will most likely need it.)

[strawberrypunch]

...Are you worried?

[silentdescendant]

(Sort of... I don't know what I'm supposed to feel at the moment.)

[strawberrypunch]

[That's a complicated question, with a complicated answer!

But rather than answer with words, he just reaches back into his hood and-- did he have that pack of strawberry snacks in there this whole time?

He's smiling faintly as he opens it up and holds the box out to Matthew, clearly offering him first pick.

It'll be okay!]

[silentdescendant]

[Upon noticing him offer the strawberries, he gave a slightly surprised look.]


(Thank you.)

[With that, he gave a small smile before taking one.]

[strawberrypunch]

[Tatsuma smiles before reaching into the pack to help himself. But before he starts eating, he gives this sage advice:]

Don't worry.

[silentdescendant]

(I'm sure things will turn out okay.)

[strawberrypunch]

[A nod. That's the spirit!]

[silentdescendant]

(What about you? Has your mun thought about sending you somewhere?)

[strawberrypunch]

[He chews thoughtfully before shaking his head.]

Not to games.

[silentdescendant]

(I suppose that gives you more time to do what you need back home.)

[strawberrypunch]

Mm...

[There's a pause before he lowers his head slightly.]

Things there are... finished.

[silentdescendant]

(Oh... I'm... sorry. I didn't mean to drudge anything up.)

[strawberrypunch]

[He shakes his head again, except this time with a smile.]

It's okay.

[silentdescendant]

(Is it personal?)

[strawberrypunch]

[Rather than personal, it's more like...]

...We couldn't save everyone.

[silentdescendant]

[And that's enough to keep Matthew go quiet for a moment, more so than usual.]


(I'm sorry to hear that. I... sort of know that feeling...)

[strawberrypunch]

...It's hard.

[Trying to save as many as you can. Realizing that no matter what you do, there is no way to prevent every single person from dying.]

[silentdescendant]

(Even worse when all you can do is play in the hands of your enemy...)

[strawberrypunch]

[A nod. He's certainly been there before, too. From multiple antagonists.]

[silentdescendant]

[That was about at least half of his quest in the first place.]

[strawberrypunch]

All they can do now is... rebuild.

[Salvage what they can, and move on with life.]
