Before you go back to sleep, maybe try talking with Flaps? Remind him of all the good times? Maybe he’s like a lost soul! Lost Souls get better when they’re reminded of hope and love!

* { can’t. he’s afraid of me, i can’t go near him without him freaking out. }

* { i haven’t slept, though. but nothing’s been happening. sorry for not keeping you all updated, there’s just. nothing going on at all. }

* { well… maybe i should go back to sleep }

Runiel if you had the choice, would you go back to the life you had before you became what you are now? Would you accept anon magic to do so for a brief amount of time? Would it make you happy, or would it cause more trouble for you and the ones you briefly have to leave?

* { the entire voidspace would likely collapse. }

* { my home is here. if i came back to where i had been i can only imagine that things wouldn’t end well, considering i died. }

* { . or. i’m. pretty sure i died. i don’t really know for sure. }

* { bottom line – yes, it would make things worse and i’d rather not have to try and deal with that. }

I think you and Flaps ought to find a way to take a vacation from the Void and go somewhere else. That way, you’ll find people who don’t know you and won’t be scared of you, and you won’t be pressured to solve everyone’s problems for them!

* { wouldn’t work. we’d both be too busy worrying about what was going on here to actually relax. }

* { besides – we can’t leave. we’ve been TRYING to get ourselves detached safely from this space, at the very least, but that hasn’t been making any headway. }

((For when Runi wakes up!)) Do you and Flaps still hate Geist? Have your opinions on him changed over time? I heard he’s going to try to bring Cubesy back to life, and it seems the way he’s going about it is ethical, if not potentially dangerous and possibly fruitless…

* { we don’t, no. we’ve attempted to reconcile with him – well. flaps has, at least. it went pretty well. }

* { i know about what he’s planning, though, yeah. it’s not within my jurisdiction to do anything about it. }

I’m sorry things have been bad lately, Runi. You’re still a kid, you shouldn’t be going through all these awful things and feeling depressed…You and Flaps should discuss your feelings, it’s not good to keep it all in, and Flaps would feel terrible if he knew about some of the things you said. I’d bet he’d disagree with almost everything, and maybe he could give you some pointers on how to appear friendlier. You’re not the only one with self-esteem issues, even Flaps doubts himself sometimes.

* { he… does know, already. i’ve talked to him a couple times, and it’s been. hard to do that. but prophet’s helped me do so. }

* { we don’t have much of a game plan. the moods just come and go, you know. but i’ve bogged him down enough, and even then, it’s not like i can go talk to him as he is right now. }

Runiel, you know who Script is, right? They’ve been telling us the story while you’ve been sleeping. They’ve done a good job. You should thank them!

* { they aren’t getting any fucking thanks from me. }

* { eugh,, }

* { i think. i slept too long. }
