["and I miss him"-- delete delete. "and he's gonna kill me for skipping out"-- delete delete.

... He'll just add a period and leave it at that.]

Yeah, and yeah. But it's not something you can control so you just gotta wait for that friend of yours. I have almost all my family in this place, but I'd rather not.

I teach Intro to Weapons Training, if you have any questions.

[EXCITEMENT. A teacher who he actually wants to make a good impression on! Hope you don't mind waiting while he hunt-and-pecks for actual capitalization.]

Hi! I guess I'm gonna be in your class this quarter then. What kind of stuff does bladed weapons cover? Is it pretty much anything sharp you can use at close range or just knives and swords? And martial arts means no weapons at all?

[batmansphoenix]

[Aw, Jason almost finds the sudden change cute.]

Well, I'm more of a firearms and martial arts guy so I'm kind of biased towards them. Bladed weapons is just... everything that's sharp, it's a pretty general definition. They just need a way to organize the different kind of weapons.

But really, all the weaponry specialization are rather cool. You just make to sure pick the one you're more comfortable with.

I don't mind martial arts but guns arent as much my thing. Your class covers all the specializations, right? Is it okay if I wait till after I take that and the guardian forces class to figure out what my majors gonna be?

[fierybluebird]

Yes, and yes. Including people who've come here from home, and gone back home, and come here again.

Your fiend might still show up, but you'll have to be extremely patient. Right now, I'm the only one from my world here as well.

[vestigiaflammae]

okay. that's not so bad then. i mean i was starting to think that i was 100% guaranteed to spend the REST OF MY LIFE here and thats kind of a freaky thought.

...i guess i'll wait and see if he shows up

sorry to hear about you being the only one here from your world. i mean its cool meeting people from all kinds of weird places but still.

what's your name?

[fierybluebird]

That would be highly unlikely.

Good luck mate.

It's all right. Time won't go racing by back home so it means whatever I learn here I can use to protect my family when I get back. And in the meanwhile I've met some unforgettable people I'm very glad for.

Marco. Nice to meet you.

[vestigiaflammae]

yeah... that doesn't sound so bad now that you mention it. getting the chance to learn magic and practice fighting and everything here means i'll be a lot better at all that whenever i get back right?

thanks.

i'm lea! nice to meet you too marco.

[suriyan]

I'm doing International Business, but I hear paramagic's super cool if you're into it. :o Good luck! And let me know if you ever need a study buddy.

- Olette

[vestigiaflammae]

hi olette! nice to meet you! haha business isn't my thing but i've never tried doing magic so i dont know about that yet.

i might need a study buddy, i'm trying to take all the intro classes i can fit in this quarter so i can do cool stuff asap. lots of etiquette. yuck.

[suriyan]

Nice to meet you too Lea! :) Well, I can't fight, so that probably makes us even. ♥

Awww that's never fun!! :c Let's compare schedules and maybe we could figure out times to do homework together or something. I figure, classes're more fun when you know the people in them.

[vestigiaflammae]

don't you have to fight here, a little anyway? if you want me to show you some moves sometime i could! i'm not bad.

my schedule's attached if i did it right. still figuring out computers too haha

so how long have you been stuck here?

D --> Someone I know recently
D --> Went home
D --> There was no word or warning
D --> He was just gone

[vestigiaflammae]

sorry to hear it. having a friend leave... that'd really suck.

it sounds like some people come back though?

[bentbowarcher]

D --> I can only hope that he does
D --> But there is no guarantee
D --> He could reappear within days
D --> Or I might never see him again

[vestigiaflammae]

is he from the same world as you?

[turnip_rage]

I've been home, and come back.

As for people from your homeworld coming, don't hold your breath. It's not impossible, but I haven't seen someone from my world for over a year. And if someone does turn up, don't expect them to stick around.

[vestigiaflammae]

marco told me that could happen... what was it like going home again? did a lot of time pass while you were here?

...ouch

sorry to hear that man

[turnip_rage]

It's fine. At least when an enemy showed up he turned out to be a decent, non-mass-murdering alternate universe counterpart, though his communication skills were about the same.

And no time had passed at all when I went home. It was pretty much business as usual, until Time Compression threw me back here.

[vestigiaflammae]

[Mass murdering? Holy shit. It'll take a minute before Lea replies to that one.]

glad it wasnt the original guy then. i guess he left? unless you don't count the alternate thing as "from your world." i guess i wouldn't.

no time at ALL?

i guess i don't have to worry about getting yelled at for disappearing then

what happens if you're stuck here for a long time and then get sent back though? are you just older?
