Man, I'm glad all that is over.  Now I just want to relax for a good long time, although I don't think I can.  I still need to find a flume.

Finally got around to doing the math to figure out how old I am now.  I'm used to traveling through time and space and all but that's usually over hundreds if not thousands of years.  Two years on the other hand is a little odd.  I should have been turning nineteen but instead I turned twenty-one.

Kind of funny because when I was younger I couldn't wait for the day that I would be an adult and be able to buy all those things I couldn't because I was too young.

Funny how things change so quickly and you find yourself being an adult much sooner than you thought you'd be.  Funny how one little event can change everything and your perspective on the world around you.

I wonder if there is anything to return to?  I'm sorry guys...

Oh, out of curiosity, since everyone or just about everyone here has abilities.  Is there anyone that can basically do the whole Jedi mind trick?  I could use some help improving my ability.

Happy birthday. Hope turning twenty-one was better for you than it probably will be for me.

What happened?

[usual translation stuff here]

[leadtraveler.livejournal.com]

I shouldn't be turning twenty-one though. And my birthday apparently passed just before I arrived here.

Huh?

[forever]

[satisfiedsigner]

[laughs] I probably shouldn't be either, but I'll count it anyway.

What happened to change everything?

[leadtraveler.livejournal.com]

Uncle Press taking me on the trip of my life.





To another world.

[satisfiedsigner]

Literally?

[leadtraveler.livejournal.com]

Literally.

[satisfiedsigner]

That sounds pretty awesome to me.

[leadtraveler.livejournal.com]

Yeah you think it would be except there's all these unwritten rules and some crazy guy trying to turn every territory he touches into a war zone.

[satisfiedsigner]

If they're unwritten rules, why can't you break just them?

[leadtraveler.livejournal.com]

I thought the same thing and trust me I broke them. That's why everything is so messed up now.

[satisfiedsigner]

Sometimes things need to get messed up before they can get better.

[leadtraveler.livejournal.com]

Sounds like something he would say.

No, they don't. Because of my stupid mistakes things are not how they are supposed to be.

[satisfiedsigner]

Don't know who "he" is, sorry.

And I don't know what you've done, but I doubt you should be blaming yourself for everything that's happened where you're from. Besides, while you're here, you practially have a second chance, right?

A demon that calls himself Saint Dane would be who I'm talking about.

As for what I've done...let's say letting my anger get the best of me and killing one man led to everything being royally screwed up. I single
handedly handed Halla over to the one man who didn't deserve it.




But...maybe you're right.

[Private]

[satisfiedsigner]

"Saint Dane," huh? Sounds a little presumptuous of him.

Well, you used to be human, right? Humans make mistakes. I've made that mistake too...though I can't say the fate of much more than my brother's lives was one the line.

[leadtraveler.livejournal.com]

...Used to be? I don't know if I ever was to begin with.

[Private]

[satisfiedsigner]

Human isn't anything but a state of mind.

[leadtraveler.livejournal.com]

Been watching the Matrix or something?

[Private]

[satisfiedsigner]

[laughs]

Actually, I've spent the last year of my life dead. I learned a few things.

[Private]

[leadtraveler.livejournal.com]

Huh...okay then.
