It does seem to be safe from whatever the affliction is on the other side. But with transportation and communication cut off between here and the wider realm of Heaven...
I think we would be worse off, over all, if we were all stuck in one place before that gets resolved.
[ she is very dutifully splitting the contents of her lunch box into separate halves and trying to make them even. ]
[ by which she means she can go get more food or make more food any time. this would also work as an argument against adamantly sharing like this but shut up. ]
Besides, I wouldn't want any more of them to be subjected to what has been getting them sent here.
[He. Yeah. Well, he stays his pretty mouth in course and does not mention this to her because she seems like she simply wants to do a kind. Nun ass behavior.
SHE LOOKS LIKE GRUNE IN THIS ICON. I COULD REALLY HAVE THIS SHIP AND IT WOULD BE CUTE.]
Has Kiraman made any more progress on finding out what happened?
[He can (and will probably) just ask him, but the guy likely won't tell him if there is issues!!!!! Nerds are annoying.]
[ even if he did she would be like umm... did you try unplugging it... and plugging it back in... that always works for me... ]
Oh, he always answers me when I ask. I just don't fully understand, so I don't want to distract him too much making him try to figure out how to explain it to me.
[ you give me retconned singed and orianna lore. in this, mine own house?? i typed that and then got to the glorious evolution subtitles and forgot everything else. anyway.
she comes from a world where civilians are all bipedal animals so she's just like "oh no that very tall man looks unwell!" ]
Was that... someone in your care? [ PART OF YOUR CULT that she doesn't even think of as a cult probably ]
[Wednesday is in a family cult maybe. Are the four Firsts all in some kind of bizarre form of cult? That's crazy.]
I had made substantial progress. However... I am not sure what happened to him or that progress once I had been killed. Perhaps the doctor was right; the whole commune collapsed.
It looks like you might have outgrown needing one. [ and she can kind of guess that his personal research had a good intention in it somewhere. but mutation is a concerning term. ] A mentor shouldn't try so hard to steer your path.
anyway she really doesn't feel qualified to give that much input on the situation. she's used to working with... quite a bit more information through the sisterhood's intel network. and doesn't like to pass judgment on what she doesn't understand.
still, she has pretty strong feelings about mentors, given sensei's role in kivotos. ]
Maybe so. But a good mentor is just someone who keeps you on your feet. Maybe you'll come around to what he's said eventually, but you still need to get their in your own time. You still have to make your own decisions, just—with the knowledge that someone is there for you.
I left his... [He's not sure what to call it. Unofficial tutelage? Friendship...?] ...side when I was still a boy.
He had already been working on the prototype for what happened to the man you saw. On an animal in the sewers I helped him care for. I didn't like it, so I never spoke to him again for a long time.
The other mentor I had after was the dean of the academy and a council member. But Jayce and I were too stubborn and insistent on our dream of which he was wary. So we all came to a disagreement, and Jayce sought a vote to remove and exile him.
[ sometimes you're just a guy who's gonna help noxus strategically firebomb an entire squad of of their own soldiers... or a guy who already did that... or maybe that's not going to happen anymore... STARES INTO THE SUN ABOUT IT. ]
But it sort of sounds like they were just continuing on with their own plans rather than thinking about yours.
They have their own way of viewing the world, their own goals. I suppose one did not have the option to think of mine when it was rooted in the emotional, and the other was wary of radical ideas.
Is there a reason it bothers you as much as it does?

Someone is going to have to start causing a ruckus so Lailah has something to do. Not him, though, he is """normal""" this week, thankfully.
Godspeed to her on the horrors of memory.]
I am beginning to wonder if they should simply come to this side.
[A joke. Emoted badly. He has a seat next to her.]
Yes.
[i never thought if he could eat actually i think it would be funny if he didn't but maybe he does anyway to pretend to be normal]

anyway she looks very ??????????? ]
Ah... I believe so. Probably...? I'm really not very good with the technical side of things. But I have full faith in him to get it all sorted out!
no subject
He should update you at least, even if it doesn't make a lot of sense. I don't doubt he won't figure it out, though.
no subject
Oh, he always answers me when I ask. I just don't fully understand, so I don't want to distract him too much making him try to figure out how to explain it to me.
We all have our own strengths.

I understand. There isn't anything wrong with different strengths.

Also wow! Now there are memories! That's great. He glances at his hands thoughtfully. SHE DOESN'T THINK OF IT AS A CULT.]
Yes. His... daughters wanted me to help him.
no subject
[ be more concerned about the glorious evolution. ]
no subject
The man I was speaking to had... altered him. His former consciousness was lost beneath an animalistic nature.
no subject
Like a corrupted Mystic... Were you able to help him?
no subject
I had made substantial progress. However... I am not sure what happened to him or that progress once I had been killed. Perhaps the doctor was right; the whole commune collapsed.
no subject
That man... What did he want? [ she vaguely saw his? daughter? maybe? ]
no subject
[The recollection makes him frown.]
He was appealing to my compassion so I would help him complete a better form of his mutation which would, in turn, benefit his personal research.
no subject
[ hm... ]

Only help you to right yourself when you stumble.

He is a pragmatic man. His teachings are usually a bitter and hard pill to swallow.
[Boy did he swallow that last pill.]
Somehow, he always seems right in the end.

... It sounds like neither of them were really there to guide you down your path.
Did either of them truly help you?
no subject
In their own ways, perhaps both.
[He twines the fingers of each hand together between his knees.]
I wouldn't discount the things I did learn from either of them.
no subject
But it sort of sounds like they were just continuing on with their own plans rather than thinking about yours.

Yes, maybe so.
