028 -- Video. (Backdated to during the Three Snowglobes event.)

[For once, Shing is in a rather wistful mood today -- he's pretty much collapsed on a chair in the shared apartment, sighing and smiling sadly at something...

Turns out said something is a snowglobe, the inside of which contains a replica of a small fishing village. It's of his hometown, Seable.

Another sigh.]

...well, I can't say that I don't

Why would you want to keep it around?

[She doesn't think he looks all that happy to have it.]

[weaponofheart]

I guess it's because it's something that reminds me of home.

At the very least, it'll give me a reason to keep trying to find a way out of here.

[blastiafreak]

I don't get why you'd need something to remind you. There's already plenty of things to inspire anyone to escape.

[weaponofheart]

I know! It's just that it'll just give me more of a motivation, if the curses and the madness here weren't already enough.

[blastiafreak]

...If you need more motivation than that, there's something wrong with you.

[Rita. Always sympathetic.]

[weaponofheart]

Well, I won't lie. I've made friends with some of the people in this place... and leaving here means that I won't get to see them again.

Either way, I'll end up leaving someone behind.

[blastiafreak]

Well, yeah, but--

I-it's not like there's anything you can do about that.

video~

[weaponofheart]

Yeah... call me selfish, but I wish there was a way I could travel between both places.

I certainly wouldn't miss the curses here, but I'd miss the people.

[blastiafreak]

...So be selfish. Who cares about that? [Supposed to be...comforting...ish. Though it doesn't really come out right.]

Some of the people are the only thing this place has going for it.

video~

[weaponofheart]

Isn't that the truth.

[A sigh.]

...you think there's a way for us to get what we want? I'm ready to admit that I'm still torn about going home and leaving my new friends behind or staying here and not seeing home again.

[blastiafreak]

The only possible way I see would be to figure out how this place works and learn to manipulate it ourselves. And the possibility of that happening isn't very good.

You can't have everything you want, anyway, so you'll have to choose something.

video~

[weaponofheart]

...you're right. I just hope that when that day comes, I follow through with whatever I choose.

video~

[blastiafreak]

You hope? What kind of conviction is that?

video~

[weaponofheart]

One that I need to strengthen, it looks like.

video~

[blastiafreak]

Yeah. Better work on that.

video~

[weaponofheart]

Don't worry, I will.
