Isn't that a bit of a stupid thing to ask?

[sky_child]

...?

[ Text is perhaps the only medium he can get away with saying ...? for realizies. ]

[themortalhalf]

How to get back home.

[Shinjiro frequently talks in elipses and silent stares, bro. You're in good company.]

[sky_child]

why is that a stupid question?

[themortalhalf]

If anyone knew a damn thing about how to get home, you think we'd still be here?

[sky_child]

maybe people like it here.

[ AKA Shinji: 1 | Link: 0 ]

[themortalhalf]

And?

[sky_child]

it's not a stupid question.

i have something real important to do back home.

[themortalhalf]

Could've fooled me.

Don't think anyone here came to this place willingly.

[sky_child]

[ That's not my problem, Link thinks. ]

thanks for your help.

[themortalhalf]

[It just means that there are plenty of people who are in the same boat as you. All of our princesses are in a different castle here, bro.]

Sure.

Hi there!

I don't really know for sure how, but it sounds like it's happened before. Which guy are you talking about, by the way?

[sky_child]

the one with the mask.

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

Ohh you mean Philly, right? Yeah, I haven't seen him around either.

But don't worry! I'm sure you can do it. Besides, other people need help here too, so I don't mind sticking around. Then again, nothing super urgent was happening before I came here.

[Er...not anymore, at least.]

I hope you find your way back, though!

[sky_child]

...philly?

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

Yeah you know. Phillymon. Or Philemon? Philly's easier to remember for me, sorry.

[sky_child]

oh okay.

i can see that the town needs help and i wouldn't mind lending a hand it's just i have something really important to do back home.

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

Yeah, but so do a lot of other people, though! I'm just lucky I got done with what was happening on my end. A lot of people here are in the same boat, dude.

[sky_child]

i doubt it.

When we first arrived, I asked Philemon about what would happen back home while we were here. Although he was very cryptic, his response implied that when we return to our homes, we will find things exactly as we left them.

[sky_child]

that's what he says...

[ worrywart is worrying ]

[fools_journey]

A good friend of mine used to work for him in our own world, and she seems confident that this is the case. I see no reason not to trust her, at least.

[sky_child]

okay. but... his timing is off.

[ Yes Link we know your mind is full of MUST FIND TRAYFURS 2 DESTROY DEMIZE can you just...listen and trust the kid? For one second? Maybe? ]

[fools_journey]

[ . . . ]

I don't think time makes a difference in this case.

[ Listening is an A+ idea! Imagine he's Fi and is giving you ad-- no, no don't. Because then you'll have to imagine him informing you your comp battery is low. ]

[sky_child]

[ He'd have to listen to such warnings anyway if he were using any electronic device, regardless if Fi was present. ]

it does to me.

[fools_journey]

We all have important things to do in our home worlds, but if we wear ourselves out worrying too much hear, then we won't be of any help when we go home, anyway.

[sky_child]

i really don't think that's true.

[fools_journey]

[Minato senses that trying to convince Link to relax a little is an exercise in futility, so he just sighs at his comp and stops.]

If I learn anything about ways to get home, I will let you know.

[sky_child]

[ Child, you are wise. ]

thank you.

[endears]

Sorry, but as far as I know there isn't a way to get back yet. [... Wow, he contributed nothing there.]

Which guy are you looking for exactly, Link?

[sky_child]

apparently his name is "philly".

[endears]

Like a horse? [No, the word he's going for here is 'filly'. Very different.]

[sky_child]

a...horse?

[endears]

... Nevermind. What does Philly look like?

[sky_child]

he's that guy with the mask. the one we all met before we came here.

[endears]

... Oh, you mean Philemon-san? I don't think anyone here's seen him since we arrived.

[sky_child]

why? is he some sort of god?

[endears]

I... don't think so? I've met someone here who used to work for him though! Or, someone who used to work for someone who worked for him?

[sky_child]

what was their name? what did they look like?

[ They sound a little too removed for his liking, but if they knew the guy, even if distantly... They might be of help. ]

[endears]

Her name's Elizabeth; she has white hair and wears a blue dress?

[sky_child]

[ Link is, unfortunately, thinking of someone who looks absolutely nothing like Elizabeth. ]

ah, okay...

...how tall is she?

[endears]

[ dohohoho. ]

Hm... taller than me, I guess? [ not that that's saying much-- ]

[sky_child]

...how tall are you?

[endears]

Average!

[sky_child]

[ So, teller than him. Le. Sign. ]

Okay. Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for her.

Best not to bother. A most persistent mechanical man already tried several times only to be sent back. It's a waste of time.

[sky_child]

what did he do, exactly?
