oldersisterdidi: Hi there, Tifa!
GarnetTears2045: Hey there! Um, do I know you?
oldersisterdidi: Hmm... I'd guess you know me, yes, but you don't know that I am me, I think
GarnetTears2045: I'm sorry, I don't think I got that...I don't know you're you?
oldersisterdidi: Well, it's like when meeting someone through these journals; I know you Tifa, but when I meet you on the streets, I may not know that that is you. But I do know you, here and on the streets!
oldersisterdidi: I don't think you know that I am me :)
GarnetTears2045: Oh!! I think it might have just been a little clearer, haha....hmmm...may I know who you are, then?
oldersisterdidi: Sure! You can call me Didi :)
GarnetTears2045: Oh! Hello there, Didi! I guess you already know my name; :) where do you hail from?
oldersisterdidi: ...hail?
oldersisterdidi: hahahha! you use such archaic language! I hail from my own realm :)
GarnetTears2045: It must be the morning, though, I don't normally use language like that :)
GarnetTears2045: Your own realm?
oldersisterdidi: yes, my own realm. you are from Gaia, I think?
GarnetTears2045: I--how did you know that?
oldersisterdidi: I was there when you were born! I don't expect you to remember, however, so it's okay :)
GarnetTears2045: You were there--? Who are you...?
oldersisterdidi: I have many names, but the only one I like is Didi!
GarnetTears2045: Wow, this sure is strange....Didi, are you from Gaia as well?
oldersisterdidi: Nope, I said I'm from my own realm. I have, however, been to Gaia many times!
oldersisterdidi: This wouldn't be so strange once you know me, but once you know me you'd probably run away so I'm keeping that a secret for now, heehee!
GarnetTears2045: Wow.......why would I run away? Are you truly that frightening?
oldersisterdidi: Most find my company unpleasant :)
GarnetTears2045: I find you pleasant enough, though. And if you were there when I was born....come to think of it, why were you there?
oldersisterdidi: Because that's what I need to do! My job, see?
GarnetTears2045: Your job...? You're a midwife?
oldersisterdidi: hahhahhah nope!
GarnetTears2045: Your job......hmmm.......What do you do?
oldersisterdidi: I am there when everything begins for you and I will be there when it ends :)
GarnetTears2045: ................................When it ends...?
oldersisterdidi: yes, when it ends! whoaa lots of dots there!
GarnetTears2045: Haha sorry, I was just thinking, and I think I accidentally pressed on it for a little too long....these little computer things are a little annoying sometimes... Didi, who are you?
oldersisterdidi: hahhahah it is fine! hmm... I'd rather you guess it since it would buy me time to talk to you :)
GarnetTears2045: Hahah it is a little unnerving, but I don't think I'm going to run away...still, I guess I'll play :)
GarnetTears2045: Will you be there only when my...uh, time ends?
oldersisterdidi: Well, I'm here now, and I was there when you were born!
GarnetTears2045: Hmmm...another question, where was I born?
oldersisterdidi: Nibelheim. I'm sorry about what happened to your hometown! there, there... I wish I can pat your shoulders!
GarnetTears2045: How did you--?
oldersisterdidi: How did I?
GarnetTears2045: It seems like you know what I was feeling, and yet you haven't seen me.
oldersisterdidi: Old age gives you empathy, it seems, there's another hint!!
GarnetTears2045: Old? If you were there when I was born...you're.....50?
oldersisterdidi: Hahahhahha noooo I don't have to be an adult to be where you were born, right?
GarnetTears2045: You're...40?
oldersisterdidi: I don't have to be so young to be here either, right?
GarnetTears2045: Um......45?
oldersisterdidi: hahhhaha, Honestly, I don't remember!
GarnetTears2045: You don't remember?? Haha you truly are a strange individual, Didi!
oldersisterdidi: I guess so!
GarnetTears2045: If you were there when I was born...you must've seen my mother, right?
oldersisterdidi: Yup!
GarnetTears2045: What was she like?
oldersisterdidi: She's beautiful, She looks like you, dear
GarnetTears2045: She does....? I wish I could've seen her, though...
oldersisterdidi: You will, right? One day you will, and you will meet me then too!
GarnetTears2045: I'll meet you....? Are you dying??
oldersisterdidi: hahahhhah! What a bad pun! No, I'm not dying!
GarnetTears2045: Hahaha are puns ever good?
oldersisterdidi: ahahhah true enough!
GarnetTears2045: But if you're not dying...then why say that? I mean, I can meet you in Paixao too, right?
oldersisterdidi: Of course you can! I can meet you now if I want!
GarnetTears2045: Now?
oldersisterdidi: Yep! I'd need to bring my little sister along though
GarnetTears2045: I guess that's fine :) Wow, you have a little sister too?
oldersisterdidi: Yes! She doesn't have the same job as I do, however
GarnetTears2045: So what does she do?
oldersisterdidi: She takes care of her realm, those who have lost their sanity belongs to her realm
GarnetTears2045: Those who have lost their sanity.......then what is your realm? Who belongs to you...? Those whose lives have...ended?
oldersisterdidi: DINGDINGDING!! Bingo!!
GarnetTears2045: What????? You're.....
oldersisterdidi: I am Death, dear :)
oldersisterdidi: Not grim reaper! Not an ugly skeleton either!
GarnetTears2045: Death.....
oldersisterdidi: I am Death itself, not one who brings people to Death
GarnetTears2045: Was that why you were there at my birth, Didi?
oldersisterdidi: Yes!
oldersisterdidi: Oh! Noooo I was there for your mother, yes, but I was also there for you!
GarnetTears2045: Oh.....you were there for me? But you're Death, and I'm not dead yet...well, at least I don't think so... What with all the strange things happening in here and all...
oldersisterdidi: I bring life too!
GarnetTears2045: Oh!
oldersisterdidi: Like all my siblings, we also control the opposite :)
GarnetTears2045: ...Was...my mother's time up, then? I mean....did I cause you to take her away?
oldersisterdidi: Hmm, childbirth caused her to die, but you cannot affect me to take your mother
GarnetTears2045: Oh...I see. But... why? And my father...you were there as well, right?
oldersisterdidi: Yes, I was
GarnetTears2045: Can you...I mean, could you tell me why?
oldersisterdidi: Why what? Why he died, dear?
GarnetTears2045: Yes, I mean...why you took him. Them.
oldersisterdidi: Because Sephiroth killed him, because childbirth killed her... I do not cause people to die, Tifa...
GarnetTears2045: I see... You are what happens to them, right? Haha I think I understand a little now...
oldersisterdidi: Yes, I am what happens to them. I am simply... Death put in human form! My big brother likes to use this 'anthropowhatever' word to simply say human form
GarnetTears2045: Hahah! I see why people are so frightened of you now...but you seem like a really cheerful individual, though.
oldersisterdidi: Thank you! I just wish that when it is their turn to meet me, they won't have to meet an ugly skeleton in a ragged cloak with a rusted scythe who has zero personality!
oldersisterdidi: I wish for them to like meeting me :)
GarnetTears2045: Ohhh, that would be a terrible way to meet Death! I think I would prefer meeting you, Didi. I mean, when it's my time to go.
oldersisterdidi: Yay!
GarnetTears2045: Do you know when it is?
oldersisterdidi: Yep, when your lifetime is over!
GarnetTears2045: I know, but when, exactly?
oldersisterdidi: That's up to you, you basically get a lifetime, just like everybody else
GarnetTears2045: That means you don't know when it will end?
oldersisterdidi: My big bro might know, I'm not in the know-it-all department ;)
GarnetTears2045: You only know of the ones in your realm, right? The ones who are...dead?
oldersisterdidi: Nope, I know everyone who has been given life. You're not dead yet, Tifa, if that's what you were getting at!
GarnetTears2045: No, I was wondering if my parents in your realm as well.... I guess I miss them a little...
oldersisterdidi: They are. I don't do get-my-loved-ones-back-to-life-in-exchange-for-my-life thing though
oldersisterdidi: I don't need to take lives to live, but it is my job to make sure that those who should die are dead and vice versa
GarnetTears2045: Haha I cannot give up my life yet, Didi….too many people need me. I mean, there's Cloud, Denzel, Marlene…I can't just leave them, as selfish as it sounds…I just hope that my parents are happy….they are, aren't they?
oldersisterdidi: I suppose they are! I don't do bargaining anyway, you can't make me take your life ;)
GarnetTears2045: Haha that is good to hear, actually...was that why you spared me when Sephiroth ran me through?
oldersisterdidi: I don't spare anyone, Tifa. You simply didn't die
GarnetTears2045: I have to thank you, anyway, it's kind of stupid, but still :)
oldersisterdidi: Hahahhah It is weird, but no worries! :)
GarnetTears2045: If you don't mind, I would like to be your friend. Being Death sounds like a really lonely job.
oldersisterdidi: Aww, that's a very sweet thing to say!! I'm not lonely, really, I have siblings, they keep my company... And I have two adorable goldfishes back home!
GarnetTears2045: Wow, goldfishes? I never had any pets before...what are they like?
oldersisterdidi: They are very cute! Their names are Slim and Wandsworth!
GarnetTears2045: Haha this is just so strange! You're Death, and yet you're so....normal!
oldersisterdidi: Hahahha Considering my siblings, you calling me normal is a compliment! Thank youu
GarnetTears2045: How many siblings do you have, by the way? You seem awfully close to them...
oldersisterdidi: I have six in total. Some I am very close to, but some not really. I'm the second oldest, I have two brothers, three sisters and one sister-brother ...or brother-sister.
GarnetTears2045: Wow!! It all sounds so lively!
oldersisterdidi: Very dysfunctional, yes!
GarnetTears2045: At least you've got people to share things with...do you all fight very often?
oldersisterdidi: Well, I never fight with anyone, but they fight among each other, yes. Desire and Dream fights a lot!
GarnetTears2045: Wow, Desire and Dream?
oldersisterdidi: Yup!
GarnetTears2045: I'm impressed, frankly speaking...does this mean that all of you are some sort of god?
oldersisterdidi: Nooo, we're not gods. We're the endless, we are simply what we are named after. Endless with capital by the way heehee
GarnetTears2045: Haha, I see! It's quite a bit to take in this early in the morning, but I'll manage :)
oldersisterdidi: Hahahha, you're managing quite well!
GarnetTears2045: Haha thank you! I guess it's because I'm not as afraid of dea-you as most others are...
oldersisterdidi: you can call me Death! That is my name, after all!
GarnetTears2045: But you like Didi, right? And I think Didi sounds better on you, haha!
oldersisterdidi: Yup! Call me Didi then! :D
GarnetTears2045: And I think the others would be afraid if I were to call you Death in the open!
oldersisterdidi: Hahahhah
GarnetTears2045: I just want to know something, though...the others, back in Gaia, they're not...with you, right?
oldersisterdidi: Who?
GarnetTears2045: I mean...my friends, they're not with you?
oldersisterdidi: I don't know who your friends are, I only know of your birth, not of you life until now. That'd be my brother, Destiny :)
GarnetTears2045: Ohh! Haha I'm sorry, I keep mixing you up...
oldersisterdidi: No problem! Just give me the names :)
GarnetTears2045: You know of Cloud, Cid, Denzel, Vincent, Yuffie...Marlene? And Barrett? Reeve, as well? And Nanaki?
oldersisterdidi: Hmm no, none of them are with me
GarnetTears2045: Ah, that's good to hear! I don't mean any offense or anything....
oldersisterdidi: None taken!
GarnetTears2045: Pardon my curiosity, but why did you end up here?
oldersisterdidi: I was looking for my little sister, she got lost I think... or 'losted' in her words.
GarnetTears2045: Haha, would it be....Delirium? I stumbled across her journal yesterday...
oldersisterdidi: Yes, but I prefer to simply call her Del...
GarnetTears2045: Ah, you're close to her, right?
oldersisterdidi: I am closer to Dream, but yes I am close to her :)
GarnetTears2045: I see! Haha, sometimes I wish I had a sister, as well...you really are lucky, Didi :)
oldersisterdidi: I am, indeed! You have many friends, though, right?
GarnetTears2045: Haha presently, yes! But I always thought that having siblings were somewhat different...are they that much different?
oldersisterdidi: Hmmm... I never really had friends, so I can't say! It is similar, I guess, but you are stuck with siblings even if you don't want to, that's the difference! Dream wants Desire as far away as possible but it can't get too far away!
GarnetTears2045: Why does Dream dislike Desire so?
oldersisterdidi: Umm well, Desire is cruel :)
GarnetTears2045: Cruel?
oldersisterdidi: Yea! They don't match, Desire likes to play tricks and play cruel jokes and Dream doesn't really have a sense of humor. They're pretty funny, actually!
GarnetTears2045: Ohhh!!! Haha I suppose so, considering the way you speak of them! Sometimes I think Desire and Dream are equally cruel...
oldersisterdidi: Dream is not cruel, he is simply tragic! Adorable, I say
GarnetTears2045: Tragic and adorable? Haha, that is a strange combination...
oldersisterdidi: :)
GarnetTears2045: You care for him very much?
oldersisterdidi: Yes, I do!
GarnetTears2045: Haha, he is very lucky to have you as a sister, then! :) Are all your siblings here as well?
oldersisterdidi: Hmm, I know Del is here, but I'm not sure about the others. Destiny is probably back at his realm, he doesn't travel much! If you dream here, then Dream is here, if you desire here, then Desire is here, if you despair here, then Despair is here :-)
GarnetTears2045: Wow....then all of them are probably here...!!!
oldersisterdidi: Hahahha
GarnetTears2045: In some form, I guess...
oldersisterdidi: And there's also Destruction, Del is closest to him :)
GarnetTears2045: Hm, it's an odd person to be close to...are you close to him as well?
oldersisterdidi: Quite, yes!
GarnetTears2045: Haha, it's quite believable, I guess...Death and Destruction go hand in hand sometimes :)
GarnetTears2045: I was just wondering....does it ever make you sad? I mean, doing what you do?
oldersisterdidi: It used to make me sad, but Death is not so bad for everyone. It is also peace
GarnetTears2045: I guess I can understand that...I don't know if I sound weird, but in a way, I'm thankful that you were there for the dying kids back when we had Geostigma...they didn't deserve to suffer so much....
oldersisterdidi: :) You don't sound weird! You sound different to most that have met me, however!
GarnetTears2045: Haha I do?
oldersisterdidi: Yep, most won't say thank you!
GarnetTears2045: I guess most of them haven't seen the state of the children from the Slums...
GarnetTears2045: There was only so much I could do for them, and sometimes it's a little...upsetting.
oldersisterdidi: :)
oldersisterdidi: Need to go now! Del is calling, I think I've been tarrying for quite awhile! I'll meet you again :)
oldersisterdidi: Bye, Tifa!
GarnetTears2045: Sure thing! :)
GarnetTears2045: It's been a pleasure talking to you!
This happens around Tuesday morning!
