Yes, the narrative is important to perception…but how do we distinguish truth from fiction when the narrator is a character themselves, filled with their own bias and ways of showing information? What a puzzle…but it’s oh so fun!

* { that’s Literally the point i was making }

Well, at least you won’t be alone anymore, Runiel. You’ll finally have a friend who understands what it’s like…

* { s’not really the same. they’re in pain – i’m not going to let them stay like this. }

So that’s why you were sick and depressed by OOC information as of late, Runiel…you knew all along, didn’t you? But you couldn’t say anything because they told you not to, just as you can’t say anything else now…I’m so sorry. Happy endings really are just a silly dream…but at least things will surely calm down now that it’s over.

* { yeah. no shit. }

You know what happened…will you tell the others, like Anxiety? Geist is trying to do his thing, but he’s run into complications with anons, as usual…I know you can’t help, but I wanted to give you hope. Can there be a funeral arranged or something if things don’t work out?

* maybe…. it wouldn’t really be up to me though.

* i’m not going to tell anx, though. if… he finds out, he finds out, but i don’t want to drop that on him and risk putting him through another panic attack. he’s been through enough lately.

I’d hug you if you were physical, Room…I wish there was a way we could help everyone, a way we could have saved…you know who…

* { there’s nothing that could have been done. his fate had already been set in stone. }

“Room, dear? I need to speak with you. I know I just arrived last night but, I-I just can’t stay. I need to return back to the timeline I was staying in, but that means I will have to venture back into the Void.. “

* [They appear! they look tired but they’re here.]

* { you can if you want – but I’m. definitely not letting you leave without you taking some food with you. does that sound fair to you, }

DO YOU GUYS WANT ME TO LIKE. COME OVER OR SOMETHING? EVEN TO JUST LAY AROUND AND GIVE U COMPANY N SHIT… OR I COULD BRING SOME STUFF FROM THE CAFÉ OR WHATEVER. LITERALLY ANYTHING, IF U NEED IT, LEMME KNOW, OK?

* { thanks sleaze,,, the offer means a lot }

* { if you’re comfortable with coming over I’d really appreciate it ;v; }

-> is everyone alright? i can send some resources over if need be.

* { everyone here is fine, just. tired and sad and needing time to sort out our feelings. }

* { the offer’s appreciated though. }

Are you, Prophet, and Maestro still linked by your souls? I know you can visit each other’s mindscapes and whatnot…what are the advantages and disadvantages of having souls be linked? Is it permanent? It couldn’t cause any babies to happen, could it? That would be kinda cute, but I assume you aren’t ready nor do you have the energy for babies and marriage! Boyfriends are good enough, especially when they’re soul buddies!

* i’ll address the latter first –

* it prrrrobably won’t, no. none of us really hold any interest for that as far as i know? it’s a huge responsibility – and monsters from our timelines all sound like they reproduced differently so that might not work even if we Did make an effort at it.

* iunno. it’s not something i personally would want – i’m happy just dating them both and being close like this, i don’t think i really want to go further atm.

* that out of the way. being linked the way that we are is kinda…. weird? we all have small parts of one another’s souls latched onto our own – it was done so we could safely unfuse, given how wonky mine and maestro’s souls are.

* i’m pretty sure it is permanent? i don’t really…. want to test that theory out, considering that we could. probably die if it went to the wayside.

* as far as advantages and disadvantages go…. let’s see.

* we kinda have this. headspace???? thing? we had it while we were fused, but it held since we kept our souls fused in the way that we did, so we have a space to be with each other even if we aren’t physically and that’s a blessing. it’s…. really comforting, especially if one of us is fighting like. nasty negative thoughts.

* the only real big cons that i can think of are uh…. i’m. not sure if any of us will be able to leave the void until we ALL can, individually? proph might be an exception to that but we haven’t tested things since.

* and the fact that if one of us gets a song stuck in our head then it’s stuck in all of our heads

* other than that it’s been nothing but good. 😛

Do you miss your followers, Flaps? Would you like to speak with them again? Or are they still dormant? We can yell at them and wake them up for you, if you’d like!

* you mean the uh….

* yeah, yeah. as they are now, right? dexia and the other two?

* i dunno what they’re up to. last i saw they Might be in my timeline? but they’re definitely inactive at the moment.
