10/29 --- Δ Haggard Traveler’s Reprieve?????

[gluttoning]

Who: ??? & you!
What: Something's starting...
Where: Δ Haggard Traveler’s Reprieve (Twilight Shoreline)
When: Sunday, 10/29
Warnings: Will be added as needed.

( Perhaps intrigued by the mail allegedly sent by CC Corp, perhaps visiting the Shoreline by chance, gating into the Area goes as it always does, until the music stays cut for longer than it should, and the black, liminal transition screen lingers for a little too long. The seconds tick on. They near turn to minutes. You can't struggle, you can't argue— you can only simply be, and it occurs to you that maybe you'll be trapped midway here, conscious, for maybe forever.

And then you hear static. Your vision warps; pixels strain into words, blurred and unstable. You see them combat for your attention; you see— )



( And then you load in. )

...For how long?

[tinged]

I don't know the answer now. But even if it's only a moment, I believe he would prefer that. And... I won't stop looking for them in this world. I believe we'll find them again.

[threatmewted]

You got anything to back that up? Or are you just hoping?

[Her voice is soft.]

[tinged]

I see the possibility in little things. Mithrun-kun waking up as Morgan-kun woke up in the real world, headset disconnected. Uta-kun existing here, but not there anymore. Data becoming sentient enough to build… [ they pause. ] … a sanctuary of their own.

[threatmewted]

Do you think they'd be happy?

Stuck here, for the rest of their lives...

Barrett has a bunch of siblings, you know. But only one with access to this place.

[tinged]

[ ... hm. ]

Would they be stuck here? Their real bodies are still alive.

[threatmewted]

Do you know that for a fact?

[tinged]

A fact? No. There are so many holes in my memories now, but I am quite certain that I... before... I had met with them. And there was - I wrote a list of names, just in case.

[threatmewted]

But you can't tell if they're still alive when we don't have details from the real world, right?

[tinged]

That's right. I suppose that's where my hope comes in and what I believe of the people who love us.

[threatmewted]

...

I knew the bracelet could kill him. ...I just hoped it wouldn't.

So.

I hope your hopes come out better than mine.
