tenth feather: the updated bullet

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

[So after Fourth Wall Weekend, Crow up and vanished. Disappeared. Poofed, for lack of a better term. But now he's back! Sporting a fancy red shirt he's wearing over his regular undershirt. Oh yes, and his right arm is bandaged and sling'd. At the moment he is wandering around, looking sort of lost, and muttering things like "Are they still here?" and "Will Aki be okay?" to himself. Eventually, he just stops in what is a familiar spot for him!]

This can't be real. I mean, it just-- Shit man. It really is, isn't it? No fooling? I'm not gonna wake up tomorrow back home, am I? ... How do I know this ain't a dream?

[He looks both ways, unsure at first, then bites his lip and promptly slaps himself on the cast covering his shoulder.]

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!

F-Fuck why did I do that. Fuckfuckfuck that was stupid. ... But I'll take that as a no.

My luck's really all over the damn place lately, isn't it?

((Crow has been canon updated! As far as he knows, it's been sixth months since he's been on the island, and for those of you who can sense spiritual energy and such (namely the Soul Eater cast he, uh, lives with) there has been a pretty noticable change in him.))

It was a good event for all of us, mostly.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

It really was something, huh?

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

... Yeah. Though my experience was better than other's.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... *pauses, remembering it all* I guess I can't complain. I got some duels out of it, met some people. And you got to meet people you were missing, huh? That's good too.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

Right. It could have gone worse, but...

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

But it didn't?

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

Right.

...

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... Tear?

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

-- Nothing, I was just...

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

What's wrong?

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

I was just thinking about how other people had to deal with it.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah? Like how?

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

Just... hearing strange things about what happened in their worlds and so on.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... I think I know what you mean. I ran into one guy that said he lived with me that I'd never met before, and I thought he was nuts. Then a few months later it turns out the same guy moves in.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

So he was from your future?

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Exactly! And then a bunch of guys from the past too, come to think of it.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

... Well, it sounds like that day turned out fairly useful for you.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... More weird than useful, I guess. I got some duels out of it, met some new people, but when it ended I ended up back home. Didn't have much time to reflect on it really.

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

-- True. I suppose unique fits it better.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Unique-- Yeah, I like that one. So what kind of stuff did you hear?

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

... I found out quite a few people I know from home are staying in a swamp.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... A swamp? Why a swamp?

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

Apparently, it's kind of like the island. Except a swamp.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... Huh. So there's other places out there like this?

[mystearious.livejournal.com]

Apparently so. It's strange to think about.
