65 - the light

Jan 19, 2009 23:35

I'm feeling much better, those of you who I may have worried recently. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your concern and your support. I believe that with time, I will come to accept things. The pain has not died down entirely, but I know now that it was not a pain that I should carry like some kind of punishment. Everything that happens ( Read more... )

Someone from your memories?

sore_feet_man January 20 2009, 17:43:49 UTC

A woman I knew before I came here. She lived secluded in her house, unable to travel because of her immobile right leg. I remember her smoking a long pipe. She would smoke it whenever she listened to stories from traveling Mushishi that came by, like myself.

She used the stories, which had to be about mushi killings to be potent, to seal a "forbidden" mushi that afflicted her leg, a curse that was passed down from generation to generation in her family. Little by little, the mushi leaves her body, but the job is one that...may take her entire life to complete. Until then, she listens to stories, and dreams of mushi and humans living in harmony.

Interesting. It seems that my gift had more meaning than I intended.

sore_feet_man January 21 2009, 04:45:54 UTC

Well, it did remind me, I suppose. I haven't really thought back to the old days in a while, now that I think about it.

Whatever has been giving you worry, it's good to hear that you've found peace.

sore_feet_man January 21 2009, 05:48:36 UTC

I want to say that I'm fully at peace, but I guess I shouldn't expect something like that to go away with just the flick of a wrist. I'll be all right, though.

I...have people that I care about, and who care about me. That is enough. That's all I could ask for.

1_electronic January 21 2009, 06:00:49 UTC

People you care about. That's what matters in the end, isn't it?

sore_feet_man January 21 2009, 06:16:40 UTC

I'm becoming more and more convinced that I've never experienced it outside of this island. To this degree, for this long.

1_electronic January 21 2009, 06:20:32 UTC

Were you also a wanderer?

sore_feet_man January 24 2009, 03:42:45 UTC

Yes; I have a condition that attracts mushi to where I go if I stay there for too long, so I had to keep moving. Nothing good can happen when too many different kinds of them come into the same place. I'm fairly certain I traveled all my life, I haven't remembered a time when I didn't.

The magic of Memento Eden, however, keeps the mushi from gathering in the town with me living here; I don't know what would've happened if they were allowed to gather near me, since this is (presumably) an inescapable island.

Would you have chosen that life, if you had the opportunity?

sore_feet_man January 24 2009, 04:40:11 UTC

I don't think I would've chosen the inability to stay in one place, but I think traveling suited me.

1_electronic January 24 2009, 04:42:48 UTC

I suppose that it would be best to adapt to what you are forced into, whether it suits you or not.

sore_feet_man January 24 2009, 04:49:48 UTC

...How were you forced to travel, T-O-E?

1_electronic January 24 2009, 07:11:46 UTC

...a mission from God, if you'll pardon the expression.

sore_feet_man January 24 2009, 15:25:27 UTC

Pardoned.

What kind of mission was this?
