❤ 2nd Phase: Audio ❤

[beautifulmemory]

[Mia's been searching the city. First by foot, and then by network. Scrolling through post after post, ignoring most commentary unless it so amused her, until she finally comes to a realization.]

I left him behind, again. ...No. This time, I'm the one left behind.

[There's that terse silence.]

That was pointless to post. Instead, listen to these words:

"Evolution... does not always mean progress.
Evolution sometimes leads to an undesired vector.
It is arrogant for one to reject change because it is undesirable.
Rejection of change is the rejection of possibilities.
Allow diversity."

Tell me what something like this means to you. I think it's interesting, don't you?

[She could use a good distraction!]

Not everyone realizes just how long forever truly is.

[Audio | Private]

[aurathread]

What happened?

[Audio | Private]

[prototype_blues]

Then don't like it, and well... um.

[Blues is hoping this is the right thing to say here.]

You're not alone, at least not while you're here.

[beautifulmemory]

Doing as I like. I don't find much interesting in fighting so hard, however.

[Audio | Private]

[beautifulmemory]

He's gone. And this feeling is...

[beautifulmemory]

Time is hard to keep track of.

[beautifulmemory]

You've been given an unfair draw, then?

[Audio | Private]

[beautifulmemory]

[That does cause a silence in her, as she thinks about what he's saying. But she can't connect the dots, so instead she simply asks.]

What do you mean?

[beautifulmemory]

What changed your mind, then?

[Audio | Private]

[prototype_blues]

Well... You have friends here, right?

[Mia this is probably as close to having Blues admit he likes you as a friend that will ever happen, or at least considers someone a friend.

Take it while you can.]

[terra_nullius]

I don't know if I should call it unfair. Unfortunate is a better choice of words.

[Audio | Private]

[beautifulmemory]

...Friends like you, you mean?

[Well good thing this is a private conversation, because she is calling you right on out.]

[beautifulmemory]

Yes, go on.

[terra_nullius]

I have no memories of anything that came before.

[Audio | Private]

[prototype_blues]

I'm not much of a friend.

[Flat, there will be no calling out dangit! or at least no admittance from him. At least not for a long time]

[Audio | Private]

[beautifulmemory]

[Well, hopefully the sincerity in the following statement won't throw you too off guard;]

...Thank you.

[beautifulmemory]

[She's quiet for only a brief moment.]

That's boring.

[But she sympathizes, even if she only barely lets on to that in her tone.]

[Audio | Private]

[prototype_blues]

[So so glad this is audio, because while the sincerity does throw him for a loop? It also makes him blush.]

... S'nothing, really.

[Audio | Private]

[beautifulmemory]

You are interesting, after all. Maybe it won't be so bad.

[nyxterious]

A big enough change. It completely changed how I was living, but... I've accepted it now. I know it's what my duty is, and I need to stick through it.

[beautifulmemory]

...What sort of change?

private

[nyxterious]

[Well... he thinks he can share it with Mia, at least! She might understand, in some weird way. Either way, he switches to private. Even if he accepted his duty, he still wants to be a human here, when he can, when it's not his world.]

I'm not a human, despite looking like one. I learned that, back home. Isn't that weird? I act enough like one that I feel like I really should be one, but... despite wanting to be, I'm not.

[Audio | Private]

[prototype_blues]

[Just.

awkward grumbling, mostly about how he's not interesting okay and grump grump blah blah blah.]

[Audio | Private]

[beautifulmemory]

[You're no Elk, but you are very amusing.]

Call me sometime.
