Game 140

Who: Anyone
Where: The Arena
When: Day 229, noonish
What: [On the throne today is a smiling youth, face ringed by black curls. He has a harp-like instrument in his lap and a pen behind his ear. It's been a while since any have seen him, but, perhaps, to the oldest and most keen observers here, he seems perhaps a touch thinner than last time. The Arena is not terribly decorated for his appearance, indeed, if not for the statue sitting there, one would not be sure this was really a call at all.]


Good afternoon, duckies, good afternoon! Who's ready for some wholesome (and platonic!) self-exploration and completely non-fatal fun, hmm? I know I certainly am.  Yes, I'm sure you've all been having just unbearable amounts of fun, but you know, let's just- . . .


[clears his throat]


Ahem. Sorry, I was saying, let's just slow it down.  Maybe, oh, I don't know, talk about our feelings a while.

((Technically, yes, this is a loser game, but anyone can play.))

I don't think you'd like the conclusions I've come up with.

More positive conclusions are preferred... I'm sorry I told you that time that I didn't care about people. It's still... difficult, but just shutting people out isn't any good either...

I know what happens if you do though. So what if you make a few good memories? You throw your heart out and it only comes back to you battered and bruised when they leave, and you have nothing left but that bitter aftertaste and the knowledge of being alone anyway.




I envy the people who has something to go back to.

Zero... [huffs out a breath and reaching up, hands on both sides of his head]

I wonder how you can say that when you still have people who care about you here.

Honestly... I don't know. I do know this is a temporary situation... for all of us.

[Deep sigh, then carefully tries to extract himself from the position]

I'm just. I'm terrified of what I'll do when you're all gone.

Have you considered my offer farther?

I don't want to be the third wheel...

And I don't want you not to have your own life that you're happy with, but you could consider leaving a way open to visit...

Re: [DELPHINUS!!!!]

... to visit?

If you're still not certain about just coming with me.

I'll... consider it.


I don't want to be seen as a charity case.

I don't want to prove you right that you have no choices other than to be alone...

Re: [DELPHINUS!!!!]

. . . you have to admit, it is a pretty terrible situation that I had to end up here and losing my memories for any sort of alternative.

Re: [DELPHINUS!!!!]

[personal profile] boundbydevotion 2011-04-08 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
But you do have alternatives now...

I guess.
