[Accidental Video]

[In the morning, Adell's journal clicks to life without him noticing.  The scene viewers are treated to is the inside of Adell's room, which is... currently a little Spartan in decoration.  There's not much on the walls, except a picture or two of people he once knew from Luceti.  Otherwise, there's a bookcase in the room that is ( Read more... )

I didn't think I'd be here this long, either. And yet...more than halfway to year three.

[Adell starts, turning around quickly.]

...What?

Oh. Right. Damn thing.

[He walks over to it.]

Hey Rydia. ...We've both been around the block for awhile here, haven't we?

[Soft chuckle.]

It happens.

...and yes, we have. It's strange to think that, but compared to a lot of people here now, we are the seasoned ones.

And what's more is that there's people here that have been here much longer than us.

[Sheena immediately jumps to his mind...]

True, there's still a few of them. I wonder if they feel the same way....

Couldn't tell you. ...Their perception of time is... going to be very different from mine.

...need to talk about it?

Not especially need, but it's been on my mind a little bit more lately, since coming back looking... well, you know.

...It's something I really hadn't thought over too much, but. You know I'm a demon. And I did too. But... what I never really thought about was... what that meant for my idea of time.

Demons live for thousands of years. Tens of thousands if they're powerful enough, and the myths about Overlord Babylon suggest that he's older than some entire Netherworlds.

I'm 19, and I'm already more powerful than a fair number of Overlords. ...How long does that mean I'm going to live?

...good question. Tens of thousands? I can't even begin to imagine what that would be like.

...Neither can I. I spent my whole life before Luceti thinking I was human. I didn't have any reason to think I'd live longer than any other human.

But now that I think about it, it's... it's very likely that I'll outlive everyone I've ever met here by potentially thousands of years. Thinking that way... the two years I've lived here, the seven months I dated Charlotte, all of that's just going to be a blink of an eye.

...Maybe I did need to talk about this, damn.

...you know, the tea shop is pretty quiet at this time. We could meet there. Or wherever you wish.

Tea sounds... good. I'll stop over there before the Battle Dome. Meet you there in a few minutes?

Sure thing, Adell.

[It's right upstairs for her, so no warping.]

[A short walk for her, a bit longer one for Adell... but not too far as his new place is actually not far from the plaza either. So he'll enter the Welcome Center and head upstairs immediately.]

[Rydia's in a corner, with a steaming cup of chai tea. She has the journal open but closes it upon seeing Adell. Immediately, she waves him over.]

Hello, Adell!
