25th Joke - Laughter Never Dies

[pants_yourmove]

[[Aaron snaps out of it as he's doing his homework. Just writing away when suddenly it all rushes back to him.

What... Wait... how long...?

He get's up, feeling a bit out of it. Moving to the phone, calling the town.]]

[Phone | Everyone]Hello? This is Aaron Taylor... Or whatever my last name is now

Comments

Phone

[pants_yourmove]

Yeah, I think so.

[[He had enough hang ups on the whole reality thing, a long period of droning never helped. That's an issue for another time though.]]

How long have I been gone?

[Action | The Streets or the Park]

[flameyedhunter]

Aaron!

[A voice calls out, and a familiar little girl is there pointing and staring. She looks like she's going to cry. ]

[Action | The Streets or the Park]

[pants_yourmove]

It's me! It's me I swear!

[[Not sure if she was outing him for some strange reason, about to fireball him, or just in shock.]]

Wait... don't cry! It's okay!

[flameyedhunter]

[ Shana doesn't give him a chance to run away. She just sorta steps towards him, then halts, her fist clenching at her chest. ]

So many people are gone.... Kyon is gone now too. Are you back for good this time?

[pants_yourmove]

Kyon....? He's gone?

[[Well.. that hurt. Maybe he'd have time to clear his head later.

Just nodding.]]

Yeah... I think so. I can't make promises, this town won't let me but I am back.

[a_gentle_boy]

Aaron...!

Ah, you don't need to apologize or anything! It hasn't been too long. I'm glad to hear from you again.

[pants_yourmove]

Lucas?

I am glad to hear your voice.

Not too long?

[a_gentle_boy]

A few weeks. You've been gone since a little after that time when everyone was, um, killing each other, right? Nothing too much happened since then...

Except two days ago.

[pants_yourmove]

Yeah, a bit after that... that's the last thing I really remember.

What happened two days ago?

Phone

[miss_enma_ai]

....Aaron?

Phone

[pants_yourmove]

Ai! You don't know how glad I am to hear your voice.

You're still yourself right?

[miss_enma_ai]

Who else would I be?

[pants_yourmove]

I was worried you might be droned.

[phone]

[perfektsymmetry]

A-Aaron!!

[That's all he can say at the moment.]

[phone]

[pants_yourmove]

Crowe!

[[He's excited to hear from his neighbor.

If Crowe fell, that'd be a terrible loss to this town. And a horrible loss of a friend.]]

[perfektsymmetry]

A-Ah, I'm glad to hear you back to yourself. I-I wasn't sure if you were coming back...

[pants_yourmove]

I had no way to really tell either... it was strange. Looking back on it is creepy too.

You know where my stuff is though, and if it's still there that means I have a chance right?

[[Speaking of, time to update that journal.]]
