Reflecting and Thankful?

[neutralchaotic]

[Laying back on a sunny patch of grass, looking up at the sky. He chose this area because it was quiet. The quad is too noisy for quiet reflection.]

The Time Compression has a sick sense of humor...

[Looks over to a few flowers swaying in the wind, thinking back on her death. Yes, definitely grateful she's alive. She can see the world he's trying

[ Keywords, Shadow. But yes, this youkai's apparently appeared out of nowhere, having been interrupted by her stroll upon hearing what he said. ]

It's a curious thing, time compression. Still haven't managed to figure it out no matter how far I've gone around this world and back.

[neutralchaotic]

[Looks over to the new voice and stands up, giving the instructor a proper salute.]

I doubt it will be figured out anytime soon. It's been happening for decades.

[ She gives back a nod of her own. There are just some things you can't unlearn from being royalty no matter how long ago it's been, it seems. ]

Causes people to come and go, the distortion of reality itself, practically makes the universe haywire.

What are your thoughts on it, apart from it being a bitch?

[neutralchaotic]

[Smirks faintly. He always did like her.]

It bothered me very little before, but now that it has chosen me as a play toy, I'm starting to actually care.

[Crosses his arms in thought.] The imbalance, though, makes everyone one outside of Garden wary.

[xpwnsporcupines]

[ Ah Shadow, how you remind her of someone back home. Black and spiky too. Just like him.

She glances off into the distance, seemingly distracted by the students racing by. ]

It's enough to make anyone wary, even myself, I have to admit. Though I have high hopes that perhaps some of our students will be able to find a solution to this problem.

[neutralchaotic]

Point taken. [Tries to catch where her gaze is, noting it's nowhere and anywhere.] A lot of them probably have places they want to be, so it will further drive them to solve the mystery.

[xpwnsporcupines]

[ People watching makes for awesome hobbies, specially when your mind wants to remain focused. But she returns her gaze to Shadow, the faintest smile playing on her lips. ]

And you? Do you have somewhere you want to be?

Or have you, as they say, gone native after all this time?

[neutralchaotic]

Do I look like I've gone native? [He's...a HEDGEHOG.]

No, I have no place I want to be. It wouldn't matter if I was there or here. It's all the same in the end.

'Hunted down, wanted for dead. At least Maria is here. It's all that matters...'

[xpwnsporcupines]

[ Gets riled up like him, too. Though the youkai can't help but chuckle. ]

Then there are others like yourself who think this place as an improvement over their previous lives...

If they do find a way to send us back, I'm guessing there are those who stay and those who return.

[neutralchaotic]

[Raises an eyebrow at her statement.]

Are you including yourself in the group that stays or returns?

[xpwnsporcupines]

Despite all the time I've had here, I can't say I've made a decision yet. But I suppose I'd rather go back than anything.

[ A slight wistful smile at the thought but that's gone in a few seconds. ]

Have you ever given a thought to how much time has passed since we left?

[neutralchaotic]

Probably not enough.

(ooc: I totally mistook Mukuro for an instructor by accident before. So sorry XD)

[xpwnsporcupines]

Perhaps due to this time compression,mere seconds would have passed should they choose to send us home...

[[ XD s'cool! I was actually considering making her an instructor at some point! ]]

[neutralchaotic]

Fantastic. Damned either way.

(ooc: HA! same for me!)
