Guy, I know you don't think it's a good idea to go into the tunnels, but I want to help. They need healers and soldiers, and we both meet the requirements. I think it would be safer for Florian to be with the others, anyway.

Luke, Tear, your thoughts? I'm heading out either way.


[And true to his word, Asch is packing up some stuff for a roadtrip to tunnel-land. Who's coming?]

We need to stick together, don't we? And you're taking Florian, so I better come with you.

[dissonates]

[And for once in a blue moon, Asch agrees with Anise D8]

We'll be safer in a group.

[Will wonders never cease. :|]

Right.

[Hesitantly -] ... Is it always like this here in Luceti?

[dissonates]

No, not always. This is the first time something this severe has happened.

orz

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

Oh. [pause] The sooner we get back home, the better, then.

lol

[dissonates]

...That's not the solution everyone wants.

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

Why not? Anything's better than being stuck here like this-!

[dissonates]

If the Malnosso weren't here, this world wouldn't be so bad.

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

But we have to get home! We need to stop Van, or--

Oh, right. Never mind.

[dissonates]

...What?

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

- I don't wanna stay here forever. I mean, no one's gonna stop Van if we're all stuck here, right?

[dissonates]

...That's right, you're from the past, aren't you.

Go back if you want, then.

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

Am I the only one from - the "past"?

Fine, I will!

... Don't you wanna go back?

[dissonates]

Tear's from before Akzeriuth fell. Not sure about the others.

If I return to Auldrant, the way things are now, I'll die. At least here I have a chance to survive.

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

Wow, really? That's a long, long time ago!

[Wait, hold up. What.] You'll - what?

[dissonates]

Guy's from two years in the future. Is it really that much of a surprise?

...You heard me.

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but. Akzeriuth... felt like ages ago. I dunno. This is way too confusing.

But - that can't be right! You're - how...?

[dissonates]

A lot did happen between our times...

You haven't been to Eldrant, have you? I doubt you'd understand.

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

Not yet, no. But - I didn't think... [She trails off. Trying to process.]

[dissonates]

It was inevitable, in battle or otherwise. Why do you care?

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

I know that, but -

I'm sorry.

And - I care because I do, alright? Do you have to ask?

[dissonates]

[Insert one of those "good god why do the replica's friends even like me, wtf" pauses here.]

...I see. It doesn't matter, though. What's done is done.

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

I guess I wouldn't want to go back either.

What're you gonna do, Asch?

[dissonates]

...I don't know yet. Try to find a way to stay alive - maybe go back to a different time.

Maybe just stay here.

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

You can't be happy with things the way they are here, though. I mean, with the Malnosso being jerks and everything.
