[Vincent is off in a forested area not far from town. He's seated under a tree, thinking and watching leaves fall.]

Yet another alternate reality... but something about this was different from others. As if we were living out a set story, each time...

[It's not as if they have the exact same fairytales on his world, after all, but there had been ( Read more... )

dread and doom, finding a dark quiet place, ..., angsting tree, humanity, always thinking too much, inner demons, secretly eally old, love is angst, musings and contemplations, man or monster?, experiment, doesn't look his age, plot aftermath, doesn't like celebrating anyway, trying to keep distant, significant days

Then you were affected as well?

[voice] chaotic_dirge October 9 2011, 21:29:28 UTC

Unfortunately... but many of us are rarely spared.

[voice] pepepepen October 9 2011, 22:08:39 UTC

I thought as much. How troublesome.

[She's quiet for a moment, and then asks:]

How often do those happen here, if you know the answer to that?

[voice] chaotic_dirge October 10 2011, 05:00:41 UTC

[That tells Vincent this must be a New Feather, probably the most recent cycle.]

It's a regular occurrence... typically every month. Even knowing this, we can do nothing to prevent their effects.

Huh? Are you talking about what happened a little while ago..?

[ voice ] chaotic_dirge October 9 2011, 21:30:06 UTC

Yes, I'm referring to... the latest experiment.

[ voice ] happyends October 10 2011, 17:21:54 UTC

That one was about stories, wasn't it.. I was lucky enough to not get caught up in one, but one of my friends did. Luckily she's okay though..

[ She giggles, even if there's something nervous about it. ]

I don't think many people got hurt, so it's a good thing.

[ voice ] chaotic_dirge October 11 2011, 05:47:29 UTC

No stories I personally know, but... there was a sense of familiarity to them.

[Since he's familiar enough with stories that have similar tropes, even if not the exact same ones.]

It's rare to have an experiment cause so little harm. Perhaps that was fortunate.

It certainly seemed that way. Could we just...pretend that never happened?

[Voice] chaotic_dirge October 9 2011, 21:32:00 UTC

[He doesn't even have to think of an answer to that one.]

I would be more than willing to forget the events of the past week.

[Voice] unseenspy October 11 2011, 22:09:12 UTC

It's good that we can agree with each other on a lot of things here...

[Voice] chaotic_dirge October 12 2011, 06:54:00 UTC

...and there's no end to those things. I doubt there ever will be.

...What would be close at this time of the year? [Yuri doubts he's talking about the onset of autumn.]

[Voice] chaotic_dirge October 11 2011, 05:48:25 UTC

A date which no longer holds meaning.

[Yes, it's not just about the autumn. It's about Vincent having far too much else in mind, as always.]

[Voice] hear_thanatos October 11 2011, 07:52:38 UTC

...If it didn't, you wouldn't speak of it.

[Voice] chaotic_dirge October 11 2011, 08:19:33 UTC

[A wise enough assessment.]

Perhaps I'm still determining what it should mean now.

[It's only been a few years he's been... conscious, altered as he is.]

Why away? Or perhaps, "Why this time of year" as opposed to any other time in Luceti. At least it's not February.

chaotic_dirge October 11 2011, 07:41:58 UTC

No... it's nothing to do with the weather. It's simply... a time I would prefer solitude.

[Though honestly, there are many such days on Vincent's Calendar of Angst.]

doubleppk October 11 2011, 08:02:42 UTC

I meant Halloween as opposed to Valentine's Day. Unless it's not about holidays either.

chaotic_dirge October 11 2011, 08:17:45 UTC

Right... That's toward the end of the month. I would take the nightmares of Halloween over the ...perils... of that other day.

[He still can't bring himself to think about that holiday too much. It's like the universe played a horribly twisted joke, making it share his name. Good thing that's not anytime soon though.]

It's about neither of those.
