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]

Comments

[voice] /it's okay, I find it hilarious

[neverplaysfair]

Make what better? I don't decide who comes to Luceti and who leaves, or who remembers what.

[ Because that is what we're talking about, amirite? ]

[immamartillo]

I mean, I think my friends would. They'd get mad if they found somethin' was kept from 'em. Even if they found it sorta hard to believe at first, I think it'd be better to come clean quick.

[godbent]

Shut up! I do so!

[skaterbrain]

...What if it's been...you know....months?

[voice] /akjdfa;fa okay

[skaterbrain]

GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! You furriate me so much!! You know what we talkin' 'bout!

[immamartillo]

...I think I'd need to be cleaned off the street once they were done with me.

[That's a bit of an exaggeration; Luck would stop Berga before he did anything too drastic.]

[voice]

[neverplaysfair]

Even if I were the problem, does that still mean I can't offer you advice?

[fourteen]

Yeah... it's strange sometimes. I've been here so long, it's almost like... [ ... ] It's silly. But it's not so bad... I've made so many friends here! And done so many amazing things. There can be good things about it, too.

[voice]

[i_am_not_cute]

Ah...so her forgetting you doesn't have anything to do with Luceti.

[action]

[so_shik]

All right, all right. I know, you have every right to be mad at him. Joshua did a lot of stuff to all of us that he shouldn't have. But...that's not what we need to focus on right now, Beat. We need to focus on Rhyme.

[action]

[skaterbrain]

[He puts his head in his hands, the bottle clinking against his skull.]

I know. I know! But I can't think of a way to help her! Jus' tellin' her would be like droppin' a bomb on her, yanno? S'why I didn't do it in the game neither. Jus' ain't fair tellin' her stuff like that.

[voice]

[skaterbrain]

W-wait, what?! I mean, yeah, thereomeritically talkin' and all, aight? Not like this is really happenin' or nothin'!

[skaterbrain]

That's a good way to look at it, yeah. Guess you can do a lotta things in that time, huh? You learn anythin' new here?

[skaterbrain]

Oh god, I'm gonna die.....

....again.

[Filtered]

[skaterbrain]

Ribbons, don't mean nothin' bad by it, but you don't look twenty. Ain't adults supposed to be tall or somethin'?

[voice]

[skaterbrain]

Only if you gonna help fix what you broke!

[immamartillo]

[...Wait, what was that?]

What do ya mean by "again"?

[skaterbrain]

Huh? Oh, uh, I'm kinda dead. No big deal.

[fourteen]

I've learned so much! [ She brightens considerably. ] I've been studying medicine and healing for a long time, and I work at the clinic... I've learned martial arts, too! I learned so many things here I could never learn back home.

[skaterbrain]

So...did you find new dreams here, too? 'Cause all that stuff sounds pretty cool, ya know?

[fourteen]

New dreams...

[ She considers, thoughtfully. ]

... I don't think I really had dreams before I came here. There was one thing... but it wasn't possible.

But being here changed everything. For a long time, I got to live my dream, like I always wanted... and I found new dreams, too. New things I wanted to do, and try... I made so many new friends and discovered so many things. For all the bad things that happen... this place has given me so much.

[voice]

[neverplaysfair]

Yes, helping fix things is generally what advice is for.

[voice]

[skaterbrain]

I got a lotta advice, so what else you got?

[skaterbrain]

....Hey, can you help me make one of those locked thingies so we can talk?

[Filtered]

[godbent]

What?! Come on, you're relatively tall for your age, [Maybe. Possibly. No idea] haven't you been taller than your teachers before?!
