[Video] 26 December Afternoon

[fortressmommy]

Christmas has come and gone and I managed to keep my head under my pillow for the whole day. I'm not one of these people who hates the holiday or whatever but I am glad it's over, criminey what is with all the joy and good will to fellow man crap

[Helga stares in confusion at the person talking to her.]

Wha?

[dead_black_eyes]

Oh, you... weren't aware? I suppose you should just pretend I said nothing, then...

Re: [Video]

[fortressmommy]

I...I...Okay buddy you better explain what the heck you're talking about right now, no more mystic mumbo jumbo, criminey!

[celestialistic]

I know how you feel. I miss my friends as well. [But she does her best to smile regardless.]

Holidays and events just aren't the same, huh?

[fortressmommy]

Tell me about it sister! I mean I like it here well enough, it's weird and people are different but my friends are my friends and yeah...I wish they were here too.

[celestialistic]

Sister? [She ponders on it momentarily before continuing on.]

Right?! Home is definitely something special! Ah, and before I forget to introduce myself, my name is Lucy.

(ooc - irony, I just started reading Fairy Tail today :D)

[fortressmommy]

I'm Helga, Helga G Pataki. My home was complete crapola but my friends...they were pretty great...I mean if they ask I never said that but ya know, between you and me, they were cool.

[Helga chuckles awkwardly and rubs the back of her neck in embarrassment.]

Did keeping your head under your pillow help with something? You know that joy is not crap, correct?

[There's a pause and Gai frowns.]

They... do not know you are gone. But I am sure that they care.

I...I didn't mean it literally...you know it's a turn of phrase like having a bee in your bonnet.

[Actually she isn't sure he's going to understand what that means either.]

They...don't?

[She isn't sure this is good or not.]

I mean do they remember me or have I been wiped from existence? Like I never existed or is it like time has stood still for them and when I go back I'll be where I was before and nothing will have changed?

[spandexisyouth]

I do not know what bee in a bonnet means either if it is not literal.

[His expression is gentle.]

They remember you. You have not been forgotten or wiped away. It is just that you will return to the moment you left.

Re: [Video]

[fortressmommy]

Oh. Well that's good. I wouldn't want them forgetting about me, after all I am awesome.

[Helga blinks suddenly and rubs a hand across her face.]

Thanks.

[sineamore]

Friends always care. At least, that's what I think. [He's still not used to having real friends, but that's how he feels.]

[fortressmommy]

...you clearly haven't met my friends bucko!

[ Video ]

[wings_of_hope]

...I'm sure they care, Helga. And I bet they really miss you, too!

[ She sighs a little wistfully. ]

It would be nice if there was some way to stay in contact... y'know, even just to send letters and see how everyone back at our home worlds are doing.

Re: [ Video ]

[fortressmommy]

Yeah, that'd be nice. I have a few people I'd like to be able to let them know I'm okay. My best friend Pheebs, she'll be worried about me and that do-gooder shrimp will be concerned, he's always concerned.

[Helga sighs and pulls at her pigtail awkwardly, she's not sure she'd send the letters even if they could get through.]
