It's been a long time, City. Surely in fifteen years someone has discovered how to manipulate the machine into sending us back to where we belong. I cannot afford to linger here while my friends suffer in my own world.

Soldier Shin. If you have been brought here again as well, please let me know where you are so I can come to you.

[ooc: And Leo is back from his canon update.]

Leo! Welcome back! [[glee]]

[[and then there's that time delay again before his brain actually processes the text]]

Aah-- it's only been a few days. Blue-san just said you were gone.

text foreva as he zooms in on the most important part of that message

[rocksfallidie.livejournal.com]

Blue?

Voice forever as always :)

[shiromadoushi]

[[a slight pause]]

Un... you still remember Blue-san, I hope!

[[the porter doesn't mess with people's memories of home, do they?]]

[rocksfallidie.livejournal.com]

Of course I do.

[shiromadoushi]

[[have a slightly embarrassed laugh in reply]] Aaa, that's good! Sometimes...

[[well, never mind that]]

And you remember being here, right? Aaa, that's a relief!

[rocksfallidie.livejournal.com]

Yes.

Please, explain your reference to Soldier Blue.

[shiromadoushi]

[[and right back to confused]] He posted saying you were gone. Yesterday, I think...

Is something the matter?

[rocksfallidie.livejournal.com]

I think I am simply disoriented by the change. Thank you for the information, Ryou.

[shiromadoushi]

Because you were gone so long? That's understandable! If you need reminders on anything, I'm happy to help!

[[and just very happy you're BACK and you REMEMBER him.]]

[rocksfallidie.livejournal.com]

That's very kind of you.

...unfortunately there still isn't any way to make the 'Porter send back people who want to go home. It's only been a few days here, not...

[slightly uncomfortable. 'I'm glad you're back!' seems like the wrong thing to say]

I'm glad that you're all right, though.

permatext sorry for the edittt

[rocksfallidie.livejournal.com]

Matsuka.

Do you mean it has only been a few days since I was last here?

whoops let me try that reply again!

[loveyourenemy.livejournal.com]

Yes. Soldier Blue told us that you had gone...

[awkward hesitation]

Has it really been fifteen years for you?

<3

[rocksfallidie.livejournal.com]

Yes.

<3!

[loveyourenemy.livejournal.com]

[Even longer awkward pause. The last name basis has not escaped him.]

...I'm sure that a lot has happened, then.

[rocksfallidie.livejournal.com]

Yes. I finally understand why you were so reluctant to see me when we first met.

[loveyourenemy.livejournal.com]

I see...



I'm very sorry.

[rocksfallidie.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm sure you are.

[loveyourenemy.livejournal.com]

I... I won't bother you any more.

[rocksfallidie.livejournal.com]

Maybe we can meet again in the future on better terms.

[loveyourenemy.livejournal.com]

I hope so.

Thank you for being my friend up until now. I really am happy that you're all right.

[rocksfallidie.livejournal.com]

Thank you. For the concern, Matsuka.

[soldieringblue]

[URGENT CONCERN.] Leo!

terepashii

[rocksfallidie.livejournal.com]

Soldier Blue?!

[soldieringblue]

[asfd] Where are you? Are you safe?

[rocksfallidie.livejournal.com]

I--

Yes. I'm near the arrival building...

ACTION!!

[soldieringblue]

[sick schmick blue is a-soldierin' because leo left unbreak my heart...bwip teleportation!

a little off-target, of course, by way of being inside rather than near...but he hustles outside following the color of leo's mind.]

Leo...

ACTION!!

[rocksfallidie.livejournal.com]

Soldier. I thought...

[soldieringblue]

[he's relieved to see him, certainly, but the faint smile is pretty much dashed in the face of all that confusion and other such unsettling emotions.

it's always easier to talk to leo via telepathy, mroeso because his voice is still a bit cruddy. he thinks similarly to his approach – cautious and quietly. leo is...different.]

What happened, Leo?

[rocksfallidie.livejournal.com]

Many, many things.

You--no. Of course you can't have experienced them yet.

[soldieringblue]

[more of the mu-way-ahead-of-him vibe. blue frowns a little more, pained. he wants to help, but...]

Do you want to move to a quieter place? All these people...

[rocksfallidie.livejournal.com]

Yes, please. I think that would be best.

[soldieringblue]

[eager to be of use but hesitant nonetheless, he sends his eyes away, just to clear his head a bit at first, but later trying to think on where.

he makes a decision, looking back and taking leo by the shoulder. they're on the roof of the MAC in an instant, and the only notion they'd moved with any effort at all came on blue's part. he moves away, dizzy for the moment it takes to get his bearings before planting his feet.

colder, but quieter. he looks back at leo, gauging.]

[rocksfallidie.livejournal.com]

There was...another massacre. We couldn't stop it.

[soldieringblue]

[blue's eyebrows begin to knit, breaking the calm concern that had been there before. another. his frown grows taut, already brought back to jomy's anguish over the nazca incident.

he swallows, his own thoughts are level. they have to be — he's the soldier.]

The humans came again? Keith Anyan...?

[rocksfallidie.livejournal.com]

You do know, then.

[soldieringblue]

[blue nods once, not so relieved. as far as he knows, that makes even more violence ahead that he can't stop. being behind the times sucks.]

...What of Jomy? Harley? Physis–?
