So it's kinda coo'. Been hearin' people comin' back an' all. Phones got his butt back in Luceti so now I get ta' punch him wheneva' I want.

But uh.........

......

Been lotsa people goin' home, too. Guess that's coo' too, but...... Well.... I've been thinkin' yanno?

......

....What do people do when they get forgot? I-I mean, peeps from Luceti don't remember this place, right? ....So what'dya do then? When you get forgot?

......


...Nngh, naw, forget it. This is dumb. This is why I ain't suppose to think.

[he flips the book against the bed and flops onto it with a heavy sigh]

[That's an... interesting comparison.]

Uh... Yeah, but I think this is a bit different. Stickin' with your friends doesn't hurt you.

[Well, there was that time that the Gandor brothers came to his rescue and they all died, but they got better.]

[Filtered]

[godbent]

Yeah, several years now. But those are just my experiences, I guess.

[voice]

[i_am_not_cute]

I think I'd tell them that I knew them before, and help them with getting used to Luceti. But at the same time, I wouldn't make them be friends with me if they didn't want to be. [It would suck to lose a friend like that, but Pao-Lin wouldn't want to be overbearing or a burden.]

[voice] /not late

[neverplaysfair]

You start over. Make new memories with them from the beginning.

... Z? [ Blinking. ]

Hehe, um... promise you won't freak out if I tell you?

[action]

[so_shik]

...prissy kid? You mean Joshua?

[action]

[skaterbrain]

[Nngh]

Yeah, that kid. I ain't callin' him by name. He pisses me off too much.

[skaterbrain]

So I push her?

...That don't sound very nice.

[skaterbrain]

...sometimes it does.

[Like how her sticking by him got her killed. It's his fault they're like this and why it's all gone wrong.]

But I dunno, what if they seem plenty happy right now? S'right to go changin' that?

[Filtered]

[skaterbrain]

....Man, I never get over that. You musta been in elementary school or somethin' when you came here.

[skaterbrain]

Naw, won't freak. Can't be really freaked out when you wake up wit' yellow wings, yo.

[voice]

[skaterbrain]

So jus' wait n' see if they come back, huh?

[voice] /nopenopenope not late

[skaterbrain]

It's your fault anyway! Why you here?

[action]

[so_shik]

What'd he do to you?

[voice] /totally

[neverplaysfair]

[ Siiigh. ] You asked a question and I have an answer. Do I need more of a reason than that?

[fourteen]

Okay. I've been here for almost three years now.

[voice]

[i_am_not_cute]

Yeah. [...] Did one of your friends come back here and forget you, then...?

[Filtered]

[godbent]

I'm twenty, you idiot!

[Just

really small]

[immamartillo]

[What's the supposed to mean? The question's on the tip of Firo's tongue when he decides that it might be best left alone.]

I think in most cases it'd be worth it.

I don't see how learnin' about a friend you forgot would make you less happy. I know if it was my friends they'd only get pissed off at me if they found out I was hidin' somethin' like that.

[action]

[skaterbrain]

Whatd'ya think?

[He would gesture to all of him and Rhyme, wherever she was at the moment, but yeah. Three weeks in the Game, becoming a Reaper, that whole whatever the hell it was that happened to Neku - Beat is pissed about it all.]

Look, I get that we get a second chance 'cause of his game and that's cool n' all, but me n' her both be dead right now if it weren't for Coffee Man, aight? I don't think I owe that prissy kid nothin'.

[skaterbrain]

W-wait, they get angry?! What?!

[Filtered]

[skaterbrain]

W-what?! But you don't look that old!

[skaterbrain]

....whoa. Can people stay here that long?

I mean... I guess, Shiki has, but...whoa.

[voice]

[skaterbrain]

...Sorta. More like she forgot me back when we was home and still don't remember here.

[voice] /tooootally. also i'm sorry he's such a butt to josh

[skaterbrain]

Yeah, like you could make it better, but you ain't gonna 'cause you're a jerk!
