I'm back.

Sorry if I worried anyone.

I'd almost forgotten what that was like...

[A long pause, a few pen taps.]

I found out who the man I swapped with was, and it's left me with a lot to think about. Sometimes first impressions can be deceiving, and second impressions can just leave you even more confused.

Hey, Ghost. Does the name "Commander Cruger" ring a bell to you?

Blood, I hope you will accept my sincere apology for my thoughtless comment to you last night. I wasn't thinking, but that's no excuse. It was completely uncalled-for, and I feel totally disgusted with myself. We all need to keep the hope alive that our loved ones will come back to us some day, and you're a great reminder of that ( Read more... )

... hey Scales.

You bastard.

Going and disappearing on us like that? After you were going to reform the Guard with us? And came down into the cloudy Wilderness to help me? We were starting to get along. I really liked you. Lots of us liked you, even though you seemed to think nobody did.

[Scribbles.]

I respected you. I respected

... hey, Alexi.

Kanin, too. And Ghost, and Smoke.

Think I'm up for drinking. Like getting sloppy drunk. No, I'm not kidding.

FUCKING SPHERE. FUCK YOU. FIRST THRONE AND NOW DRAKE? WHO NEXT?! WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?!

[The writing is very slow and careful, and he hesitates several times in mid-sentence.]I've been doing a lot of thinking ever since my evil double captured me. Just about my attitude and the way I treat people in general ( Read more... )

... hey, everyone.

I'm home.

... I'm home.

I'm going to be useless and not very good company until tomorrow, at least, but I'm home. And I'm not alone. Thank God, I'm not alone. I can leave this place. I have other living things with me.

It's strange how your priorities can change in the blink of an eye. For most of yesterday the only thing I was worried about was getting back to the tree, seeing how much damage had been done, and starting to rebuild.

Then... this happens. Two messages... questions being inked away. A group of "exiles" proclaiming that they know the truth, telling ( Read more... )

......

I've decided I don't want my memories back anymore. I'll just keep living with what I have and make my new life here.

The cost to get them back is too much...

I want to live.

Brooklyn, Ghost, Kanin, Alexi... ANYONE else I care about... I want you guys to live, too. Don't die. Nobody else. Don't FUCKING DIE.

[OOC: The writing is shakier than usual, but still quite legible, and there might be a teardrop or two smudging the ink. The scratched-out portions are well-blotted out soon after being written and impossible to read.]I've apparently been trapped on the elevator for the past few days, though it didn't really feel like too long.
