Character(s): Mao, Geoffrey
Content: Mao reunites with his
Setting: Paixao Central Station
Time: Week 33, late night
Warnings: None.
He should have been happy to be out of that place. Just being there had been one of the most embarrassing moments of his life, and staying there for even longer than a moment... Well, he was glad the journals didn't have any video to take of him. He wouldn't go back for all the comics in the world. Not even for video games. Not even if the person asking pledged themselves to be his personal specimen for all eternity (though a combination of all three might make him think about it). And yet, he didn't feel any better coming out of that floor and back to the city than he did when he first saw that post from Yorda. He still wanted to hope that maybe, just maybe, this would be the same case as with Princess and Almaz. That this Geoffrey would be the one he put so much time and effort into perfecting: Geoffrey X.
But there was a sinking feeling, deep down in the pit of his stomach (or maybe just deep within his heart) that that wasn't the case. Yorda was worried and Geoffrey had mentioned something about making sure Mao would be a ruthless Overlord. It sure sounded like the Super Hero's goal to him. People had said over the journals that people they knew could come from different times... Mao just never thought it'd happen to him.
He had to see it for himself. He had to make sure. It was Geoffrey and the Super Hero and above all important. Mao wouldn't trust him. He couldn't. He had to be careful. But that kind of efficiency... No, he'd wait. He'd wait until he'd talked to Geoffrey himself.
He stood in front of the train station, arms folded, staring out at nothing, lost in thought. By now, most of the citizens of Paixao had left for their homes, and though there were some stragglers here and there, for the most part the station was empty. Hopefully this central location, along with Geoffrey's natural ability, would make things easier.
He should have brought his Slaystation Portable.
