Part of the reason you’re so stressed is because of all the power and knowledge you have, right Runiel? Would you accept a magic anon that removed some of your powers, or made it so that you wouldn’t have to be aware of OOC knowledge? That way, you wouldn’t have to stress about the future. Ignorance is bliss.

* { as nice as that would be, anon magic is only temporary. it wouldn’t do me any good in the long run. }

* { besides – i’m still the flavor text. the knowledge i have is needed for me to be able to do my job. }

Has Flaps made any more improvements?

* { definitely! he’s got his head upstairs again, but he seems calm and amicable. i’m not going to test him myself, though – like i’ve said, he’s afraid of me, i don’t want to chance ruining this. }

* { he’s currently got @tanezumi held captive though. it’s pretty cute. }

That’s alright, Runiel. What have you tried out, and what have you discovered?

* { well, }

* { @sunnybcnes needed help with security at his new cafe – and i offered my help. i wasn’t sure if i’d be able to properly do it, seeing as it’s outside the void, but…. }

* { it worked pretty much without a hitch. i’m even able to set up my projections in there…. it’s. really nice. }

You and Flaps still have lots of pets, don’t you? Are they doing all right amidst all this nonsense? I’m surprised that you’re able to still care for them on top of everything else…

* { not as many as we used to. a lot of them belonged to other people who have since left – but we do make sure to keep on with taking good care of them. }

* { they’re in good hands, even if we don’t talk about them much. no worries. }

It seems things are finally looking up for you and Flaps! I’m so happy for you two! Maybe things can finally be peaceful again…I just hope Pathos doesn’t come to bother you two again. I’m guessing you and Flaps won’t want him anywhere near here, huh?

* { if he gets anywhere near here within at LEAST a 500 foot radius again after pulling that shit? }

* { he dies on sight. }

* { things are doing a little better, though, that aside. }

Hey, don’t worry, Runiel, you don’t have to keep us updated 24/7. You’re doing your best, that’s all that matters. Also, you can’t report on anything when there’s nothing happening! Speaking of events going on, do you think there’s anyone you know of that could help Flaps? Or will we just have to wait this magic out?

* { i… really don’t know. }

* { i even rejoined that old chat that we had left to try and see if i might be able to get some help, but. i was met with animosity pretty quickly and everyone else has far more pressing matters to deal with so it was a bit of a moot point overall. }

* { i don’t know what’ll break it entirely, but. he does seem a lot more docile than he was, so…. at least that’s progress. }

Yeah…SP definitely isn’t the greatest person either. Flaps is so kind to still believe in someone like him…but I think he can get better with time. At least he’s not as bad as Eight. What do you think, Runiel? Do you believe in him as Flaps does, or is Flaps’ belief misplaced?

* { he’s like a brother to me, i don’t think it’s misplaced whatsoever. he’s misguided and… a couple other things, but. he’s family. }

It’s nice that you and Flaps are on better terms with Geist, but I think he still antagonizes Marshy and SP, doesn’t he? Have you talked to him about that?

* { i haven’t spoken to geist about the whole. mess that i made with him. }

* { it wouldn’t be my place. that’s going to be on flaps. but to be fair… .you know. SP hasn’t been under house arrest for no reason. }

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. }

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. }
