008 Things Aquired - [text;]

[ossifragant]

So here's a question for all of you. What's the furthest you've been from home? Before coming here, I mean. This place doesn't count. I want to know how far people have traveled before coming here.

The name of the place you're from, the name of the place you like going. What your favorite city is called. Things like that.

I've always liked traveling. But I used to spend years in one place, even so. Always found myself drawn back to where I was born. It's one of those interesting things about people. I don't exactly miss the place, but I do find myself thinking about it sometimes. What it would be like if we could go back with memories of this place instead of forgetting everything.

So there's a second part of my question, I guess.

Say you go home, but you remember everything from here. What would you do with that information?

What if you arrived home at a time before the last thing you remember?

[ossifragant]

Yeah, maybe.

That'd be nice if I could do it.

Feeling abandoned is pretty shitty. It's my hope that the person understands, but unless they show up here I have no way of knowing for certain.

[glaciates]

Hopefully they will show up here. You never know who's going to turn up.

[ossifragant]

It's true enough. There are a lot of people here from a lot of places. The person I'm thinking of could easily come here one day.

Have you forgiven the person who abandoned you? Assuming it was one person any not many, though my question remains if that's the case.

[glaciates]

I hope they do then.

Well I wasn't really abandoned, exactly. I expected them to do something and they did something else entirely. I've forgiven him for that, but it was mostly my fault in assuming something in the first place.

[ossifragant]

[...well, what are we talking about here exactly? Considering this person has mentioned dying, uh...

Then again Greed can't really judge without being a huge hypocrite.]

He's one of those people you can't entirely rely on, huh?

[glaciates]

Yeah. I'm trying to trust him now though because we're still friends. Like I said, it was my own failing, not his.

[ossifragant]

I understand that better than most.

Someone broke my trust a long time ago, but we've been able to talk about it since. We're doing pretty well now, he and I.

[Though outright calling Envy a friend still feels weird.

What are feelings.]

[glaciates]

That's good to hear. I think we're doing okay as well.

[...Well, he's dating Kimblee so uh, hopefully they're doing okay...]

[ossifragant]

I'm glad to hear it.

There's not much worse than a relationship that can't be repaired.

[Is this such a good idea...

That ranks pretty high on the bad decision list, and Greed already has that market corner.]

[glaciates]

Yeah. I'm glad things worked out the way they have.

[ossifragant]

It makes me hopeful if the person I'm thinking about shows up.

Sometimes things work out for the best. It's always a pleasant surprise when they do.

[glaciates]

Yeah! Hopefully everything will work out for the best.

[ossifragant]

[...It's a shame this is an anonymous conversation because holy shit this optimism is infectious.]

Good luck to you, yeah?

[glaciates]

[He's normally not this optimistic either, so...]

Thanks, I appreciate it.
