Array 073 [Video]

[Al beams to the video feed. He's outside, and the color is back in his cheeks. It's been quite a while since he's smiled like this, but smiling he is, and he seems to have gotten his old energy back.]Hey, everyone. Thanks for all the well-wishes when I was sick, I feel much better now. I'm up and looking for projects to work on! I feel like I've

You were sick-?

Well, it seems you haven't fully recovered yet. Take care of yourself, okay?

[bloodseal_soul]

Yeah, just a bit. I didn't really tell people, I didn't want anyone to worry. It was just a virus, you know?

I promise I will.

How are things over there, Lockon?

[meteo_sniper]

Well, I trust you'll go and see a healer if it gets really bad. Now just be careful.

It pains me to say it but, it's the usual crazy here. Psychos... idiots... psychos and idiots being sent back and pulled back in several years older.

[bloodseal_soul]

I'm mostly better. I think it was just a stomach bug, but it was worse because I've been stressing out over things. I feel much, much better now. I just needed to get my head on straight.

Ah?! Who came back older?

[meteo_sniper]

Stress does strongly affects one's health. it can be worse than all viruses and bacteria put together, and unfortunately there is no vaccine against it...

First Allelujah, but it was some time ago, and you know it. And just now? Setsuna. it's kind of awkward

[bloodseal_soul]

Yeah. All we can do for that is just buckle down and ride it out. Thankfully I think the worst is over.

Setsuna... does that mean he knows things that none of you do?

[meteo_sniper]

There are ways of dealing with highly stressful situation, but sometimes even after training it does work for one type of things...and doesn't for others. But when you learn basics of the most successful way of dealing with it, you can more or less apply it to other circumstances. I could a lend a book on that subject, but I need to dig it first.

Yes, he's even further into the future than Allelujah or Ly-other Lockon. I think only Tieria is from my time now.

[bloodseal_soul]

Really? There are books on this sort of thing? Guh, that'd be helpful. Really helpful.

... oh man. That's got to be weird. I can't imagine someone telling me my own future.

[meteo_sniper]

Yes, they are. If the case is severe they can't replace real therapy, but in all others they can be even helpful.

Yes...that knowledge makes things awkward.

[bloodseal_soul]

Books to teach about life, huh? Still... sounds like something worth checking out. That sort of thing is always worth the time.

Beyond awkward.

[meteo_sniper]

You could say that. Naturally most of them either state the most obvious things, or are full of pretentious bullshit. But some, some of them do contain good advices and tips.

Four years is enough to change people. And to change things between people.

[bloodseal_soul]

Even obvious things aren't obvious to everyone. It depends on life experience. Either way, if I learn even a little, it'll be worth it.

Four years...?! That's a... that's an awful long time.

[meteo_sniper]

That's also the reason behind those books I guess. Just tell me where to drop them, and I'll do. I'm running around the safezone anyway, so it's not a problem at all.

...it is. Setsuna that is at Allelujah's age, Allelujah that is my age, and four years older twin brother. Is this the moment script says I feel out of place?

[bloodseal_soul]

I think you have the address to my house, but; [Privately Sent Coordinates; x,y]

... oh boy. That's weirder than my mom coming back and finding us twelve years older.

[meteo_sniper]

Thank. I guess I'm slowly getting confused with all the coordinates marked on my map.

Oh my... your mother is not from your time?

[bloodseal_soul]

It's not problem. You should see mine, it's all covered with colored dots, like I threw confetti at it.

... ah. No.

She died when I was seven years old. She remembers me here as being only five years old.
