Staring at the truth 'till I'm blind [private- Yusuke and Shinku OMG IT'S A CHANGE]

[lolspiritfinger]

[It's just an average day on the island, nothing out of the ordinary to speak of. Aside from the random pranks popping up, it could be just like any other calm day on the tropical paradise. Even Yusuke wandering down the beach is a common sight by now, looking to get a bit of exercise and thinking time during the long day

[Looking up from her book with a small frown]

I don't believe you should be mocking my intellectual activities Yusuke.

[lolspiritfinger]

[Giving a half-shrug]

Right, because reading provides such great adventures.

...not that I can say I've had any lately myself, though.

[reiner_rubin]

If you choose the right books, you'll find that it does provide such.

Is something wrong? [Slightly closing her book]

[lolspiritfinger]

Too bad I lack the attention span to go all Reading Rainbow when I'm bored.

[and that garners a small frown] I can't strike up a conversation with you without something being up? [However, something in his tone hints that she's right on target.]

[reiner_rubin]

Am I not allowed to be somewhat concerned for you?

[lolspiritfinger]

...no, I guess not.

[And settling his butt down next to you now ;3;] It's stupidly complicated, that's all.

[reiner_rubin]

I'm willing to listen.

[lolspiritfinger]

... I know you are.

[There's a rather long stretch of silence from him as he fiddles with the edge of his jacket, trying to find the right words to say.]

Have you ever had a huge question nagging at the back of your head that you needed to figure out? One that you were just about to get the answer to, but then it was snatched away?

[reiner_rubin]

I have. [Closing her book completely]

Even after the events that occurred in my world and my three years on this island, I'm not sure I have any answers at all. But it's not a bad to keep questioning.

[lolspiritfinger]

[A small smirk]

Looks like we're in the same boat after all.

[sighing now, and looking out to the beach] ... I don't know how much longer I wanna question, though. I think I'm gonna go insane at this rate.

This isn't where I'm supposed to be. I don't belong here.

[reiner_rubin]

No is supposed to be here. The fact that we all come from different universes with different laws to how they work is proof of that. And yet here we are, a huge contradiction.

What makes your case special though?

[lolspiritfinger]

[frowns] Hell, I know that much. If there were actually natives here, I'd drop dead from shock.

What I mean is that...this place isn't doing me any good. I left my home before I got here because I was a threat--to my world and myself. And while I doubt this rock would let some idiot like me blow it up, the fact remains...I still got no clue how to handle this body of mine or what I can do with it.

Two and a half years is way too long to be kept in the dark about this sort of thing.

[reiner_rubin]

So you don't want to wait anymore.

[lolspiritfinger]

I don't.

I promised someone back home I'd be back by my eighteenth birthday...but here I am, months later, still no stronger than I was when I hopped onto this dumb place years ago.

But what the hell can I do? This place doesn't have some fancy revolving door we can slip in and out of whenever we feel homesick.

[reiner_rubin]

...

I think when it becomes most important, the island may accommodate to your wishes Yusuke.

[lolspiritfinger]

[shaking his head]

That's a load of bull. If that were the case, I would've been home again a long time ago. And so would you.
