Fifty Third Star

Huh... no matter how many times it happens, you never really get used to it...

Good luck, Kallen.



... For the record, I hate being sick. Not to make you feel worse or anything, Miss Rin. Ugh...


[Police Filter]

Coming forward with some information on the Rika Furude case, though it may just be circumstantial. Either way it's something I'm going to pursue because all it is for me is talking to them...

1) Cecil attempted to cut out his own chip on August 29th.
2) Shortly after saving Cecil from himself, Rika Furude thanked me. In private.
3) She is aware that Cecil's behavior has been increasingly erratic since her death. She vaguely mentioned "punishing" him.

Now I've been going about this as a friend to both of them, not as an officer. Any thoughts on these points, ladies and gentlemen?

Herm... at least I get to eat Gremio's soup all day...

Mentioned something about another staff though...?

Oh, really? Did you train with weapons other than your bo?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Not formally, but I did pick up some things over the years.

[nomnomguts.livejournal.com]

I see~ Have you gone through a lot of martial arts training then?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Sure have! Master Kai put me through some of the harshest training he knew to make me into a worthy apostle of his style.

[nomnomguts.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's very impressive! What sort of style did you learn from him?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

The staff. Heaven Fang was a gift from him, acknowledging my accomplishments as his student.

He... never finished training me, though. He disappeared shortly after that. I didn't see him again until years later.

[nomnomguts.livejournal.com]

I see~

[Blink~] ...ah? Mm, do you mind if I ask why?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

To be honest... I think it's because he knew before I did how things were going with the current government. He wanted nothing to do with it, so he left...

When the war put a republic in place, he decided to stay rather than his original plan of returning to the life of wandering. Sometimes I wish I could have done the same...

[nomnomguts.livejournal.com]

There was a war in your world?

Well I suppose that explains it. War... changes many things. But why couldn't you?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I agree.

It's a long story.

[nomnomguts.livejournal.com]

And few things remain unaffected. People change for wars... [Guess who's half talking to herself and thinking dark thoughts of her archrival/nemesis.]

You'd prefer not to talk about it?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Yeah... it's not something I'm proud of.

[nomnomguts.livejournal.com]

Mm. I'm sorry for prying then~

[She's been talking to Cecil though...]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

It's nothing to apologize for...

-That's not even the half of it, Riful.-

[nomnomguts.livejournal.com]

Mm, nearly everything I can think of as a response contains some variation of 'I'm sorry'. That's rather silly.

So I suppose I'll say this instead. You are a good person, Tir. Whatever choices you might have made~


[Well it's a start. /is nosy in Tir's private business. And... everyone else's. XD]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

... Thank you, Riful.

[nomnomguts.livejournal.com]

Mm~ you needn't.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

You're a good friend, Riful. I know it's odd to say, but... I'm glad you're here.

[nomnomguts.livejournal.com]

Not really, no. Coming here, I've met so many kind people, and I'm glad I got a chance to be your friend, Tir. That wouldn't have happened if I'd merely stayed in my world.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

That's very true, ha ha...

Astoundingly true.

[nomnomguts.livejournal.com]

Mm, would it make a difference, you think? If you went back after staying here?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... I don't really like to think about it.

[nomnomguts.livejournal.com]

No? ...you don't want to go back?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

There's nothing really left for me in my own world anymore...

[nomnomguts.livejournal.com]

So Discedo is basically your home now? You must be the first person I've met to think so.
