[savedbyasong]

She told me about you too. It's nice to meet you. [He waves instead of smiles, so that Sora can see.]

[reddeadvirtuoso]

[You'd think elder Striders would just be even more of a disaster, but the stupid jokes can't help but get a small chuckle from her, despite the fact that-- she was pretty sure she was shaking where she sat.]

Dirt...? [Guess that part was...still real around here? That provided...some help.

She idly looked down at her chest.]

Y...Yeah. I think-- I think my Bro might've thrown a fit if I showed up covered in mud? But I think that'd be better. Than being some kind of wireframe...

[reddeadvirtuoso]

[And surprise surprise, she sniveled some more-- as much as she could, without a nose. She even went as far as making the wiping motion too.]

Right. Sniveling. Stupid. No one's got time for that shit, right?

[She kind of missed that she's being a bit repetitive.]

[reddeadvirtuoso]

[She didn't do much while he was getting himself settled-- just sort of, silently freaking out, feeling her nonexistent stomach churn-- but she didn't resist the hug either. And in fact, she caved pretty quickly, turning to bury her face(?) in John's shoulder.

It was-- a little bit harder when you had already gone past the end of your own existence, and this was all that was left.]

I wanna go home.

[reddeadvirtuoso]

[For a moment she just considers not saying anything-- fading into the background, staying silent like she had been forced to a while ago, hoping that she could just kind of... stop.

She didn't do that, but she thought about it. But when she did speak, it was meek, and pretty uncommitted to sounding like anything... stable.]

I'm here.

[reddeadvirtuoso]

Oh.

[She heard the words and sort of, confirmed them in her own head, but she wasn't really listening or processing.]

Um.. cool. I guess. That's OK.

[She didn't even bother with the stoicism at the moment.]

[terreifying]

I'm glad to meet your for the first time, though. Even if we both look like this.

[earthshards]

[Well, that's some relief. He got the right room. He starts to nod, but then remembers that gestures like that are going to be a lot harder to make out.] Yeah, it's me.

[He looks between the two briefly, and his gaze goes back to Xion.] I'm trying to check on everyone; how are you holding up?

[Though given that you're moving and have a friend with you, he'd guess it's 'better than it could've been'.]

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji knew that Minato probably wouldn’t have regretted it, anyways, but knowing that would probably cheer him up anyways. Even now, he’s offering a smile.]

I think it’s amazing that it did happen. To change something that wasn’t even close to human like that… not to mention everything else you have and will accomplish.

[Minato is too modest to say so, but Ryoji knows that he’s a true hero.]

[culbutiri]

Yes, nobody do be having time for your pathetic crying. Come on, we should be going to be finding out what did be happening and why everything do be being broken.

[notsogrimreaper]

It's the same for me. Having a father... it's something I couldn't imagine. I'm lucky-and really, really happy-to have this time with you and with everyone else.

[Ryoji nods back, feeling as comforted as Diarmuid is. He offers a big smile, excited to have a chance to help.]

I'd love to help. I'm not that good at recognizing people yet, but I can at least talk to people who need someone.

[He's gotten enough advice by now that he should be an expert at giving it.]

[notsogrimreaper]

That's... almost a year. I'm sorry.

[notsogrimreaper]

Ryoji nods, silently relieved that Enoch doesn't seem to suspect him.

"I'm glad you found me too, and that you made it out alright. You haven't had any other memory problems, right? I think it should have come back by now."

[heavenscorpse]

It's all right.

[funnystory]

Mm. Their bodies are different now, so they're really afraid.

[Although she hasn't quite decided on the reason for that yet.]

Maybe they think they're going to die.

[turntechtrainer]

Nah, Bro would applaud that even now we're doing just what we do. Stick to the man and stand our ground.

Whether it's some teleporting bark murderer, some pimp out to end it all, or a tower. [He swipes dirt from the floor and reaches for her arm.]

Take a bit to from me, we'll give you a nice coat of this stuff.

[bloodlessons]

Hey! Just because they're called curses doesn't mean they're all bad! [There are few things Henry gets the slightest bit huffy over. Assumption that all dark magic is bad is one of them.]

Geez, just because they have some ugly words attached...

[reddeadvirtuoso]

G-Go by yourself.

[She made more wiping gestures at her would-be face-- and seemed to be fresh out of any horrible jokes.]

Who fucking cares anymore, it doesn't even matter. And I'm pretty fucking sure it never even mattered in the first place if this is all it turned out to be.

[reddeadvirtuoso]

[She stares for the smaller part of a moment, before holding out her arm towards Dave and half reaching towards the dirt.]

...Taking the whole 'stand your ground' thing a bit literally, huh.

[Dumb jokes, but not much heart behind them.]

Think this place is any better than a barking demon?

[ainohenshin]

[ Kuwabara doesn't know that. ]

Do what ya can and let's get th' hell outta here before some creepy shit decides ta have us for dinner.

[invisible_friendship]

What are good then?

They call it a curse for a reason.

[xroyal_bratx]

[ Ishtar pushed away wiping the tears from her face as she pulled herself together. ]

I know, and we need to find everyone and make sure they're okay, Darres. There's no time for me to mope around right now.

[ She half smiled at him as she pushed herself up. ]

[warriorscribe]

"No problem-..." He stops himself from instinctively completing his favorite phrase. Everything's not fine right now. He has only a year to not let entire planets down, and the wound of Dax's death is raw in his heart again.

He needs time to adjust to the pressure again.

"...I haven't had any trouble. I wasn't in that room for very long."

[turntechtrainer]

Hell, no. This place is worse. Noir just stabbed people as it pleased him.

[He starts working on getting her arm covered, using a bit of his own dirt like Rose did for him.]

Anyway. Exactly, thank you for getting the joke within the joke.

Do you mind if we wrap this? My comp is having issues loading this log. Can't imagine why. X.x

[oathshackledbird]

[It's really a shame that Diarmuid has no real face to smile with right now, because Ryoji's words are making him smile widely.]

I don't think I can describe how good it makes me feel to hear you say that. I am glad I have been able to do so much for you.

[He leans forward to hug Ryoji again for a moment, before stepping back and motioning toward the hallway.]

Come, lets go remind people how much they still do have. There are some things the administrators can't take from us no matter how hard they try.

[Like their souls and the feelings that live inside of them.]
