♕ |[65]| Some are plain lucky-- we ourselves among them

[had_not_lived]

I'm always glad to see this, but it's a doubly welcome change from the past week. I didn't really try to leave the City while it was... moving, I suppose you could say, but from everything I read and saw on the Network it didn't seem like the other worlds were any safer than the City

I'm sure you have plenty of stories to share, regardless.

[had_not_lived]

I do, of course, but telling them isn't as easy as I'd hoped.

It's good to see you back here, Yuuko.

[moresake]

Stories have a life of their own, and they want to be told in such particular ways.

And it's nice to see you've stayed, Neil.

[had_not_lived]

I don't plan on ever leaving.

It's funny how hard it is, figuring out the right way to tell a story. I'm a better reader, a better speaker of other people's words, than a writer myself.

[bakurakrazie]

Story? You're writing a story?

[Also, I just got a 'varnish error' for a moment, from Frank. wtf, varnish? What does a protective wood coating have to do with LJ entries, you creepy goat?]

[had_not_lived]

About my life, home and here. I'm just not sure how to put it all.

[bakurakrazie]

Like organization and composition or like style?

[had_not_lived]

I mean... it's just difficult to find the right words, to put it the right way.

Neil. That's a voice I hadn't expected to hear again.

Yvaine! Is that you? [Of course Neil sounds thrilled; there's bound to be a special place for her in his heart, no matter how long it's been.] Welcome back to the City!

Thank you Neil. It's...interesting to have returned.

I hope you are well.

Oh, I am-- thank you for asking. And you? Has it been long at home since you were here last?
