1st Routine [Anon Text]

[dreamsonwings]

How do you handle being alone?

[She's been here for two weeks and yet she should be happy. There's more people around, no crazy experiments or monsters, or anyone suffering a lot. But Sora...she feels out of place somehow. Perhaps it's because she hasn't seen her home in nearly two years or that no one from Fortuna managed to get here either, being rather worried.

Seriously, what the hell is with these sudden feelings of suck?]

Which is why you're anonymous... I see. Have you tried making friends here? I guess they wouldn't replace your own friends, but you'll have some other people to talk to here, at least. Would that help?

[dreamsonwings]

Er, thanks.

[Solved it? Not likely.]

[dreamsonwings]

YOU'RE FROM A GAME?!

[Sora Logic for you.]

[dreamsonwings]

I want to but everytime I get close to someone, they leave.

[bondsofsuffering]

It might sound cruel, but it will make things easier.

[vacare]

Every time? I thought you always had people close to you... Isn't that what you said?

[hanakozy]

Something fictional, perhaps? I'm sure the library has a bunch of different genres to choose from, and it'd be much more interesting than heavy medical texts.

[aurathread]

Sort of but not really. This is the character I play in the game. I just log in and play him. I'm someone else in the real world.

[dreamsonwings]

It's been awhile since I've read fantasy stories.

[dreamsonwings]

Well, yeah. It's really strange to explain but before I got here, I got sent to another world. The friends from home...I haven't seen them in almost two years. The friends I made in the world before...they kept getting sent away.

[justkeeprunning]

Oh? Do you mind if I ask what the sport is?

[vacare]

So you're afraid of it happening again? That's understandable. I guess I'd have to agree with the others again, if it scares you that much. Finding a pastime that will keep you away from others would fix that.

[dreamsonwings]

So it's good to be alone?

[She's just asking for clarification, that's all.]

[vacare]

I'm not sure I'd say that. I don't know what you've been through, so I can't judge you, right? Maybe it'd be better for you to be alone instead of feeling lonely. I don't really know.

Generally, though, I'm sure that it's better to be with people than to keep to yourself, especially if you're the type who surrounds themselves with people. It might be scary to make the commitment, but at the same time... even so, people will leave your life for various reasons, some of them pointless. I guess it's a matter of bearing through that knowledge and staying hopeful.

[dreamsonwings]

Not at all. You can say I do some gymnastics.

[Totally staying anon. Acrobat might be giving more of who she is.]

[dreamsonwings]

It's strange when you see the words.

I thought I could handle it before. I was stronger back home before going on this journey because I understood. But now it seems that I've gone backwards.

I want to try and start over. Get back to who I was before it all started.

[dreamsonwings]

I'm confused.

[aurathread]

My mind got trapped in the character I play in the game.

[dreamsonwings]

Oh...I'm sorry.

[aurathread]

I don't need your pity.

[vacare]

What kind of person were you?

[dreamsonwings]

That wasn't pity.

[dreamsonwings]

I was...happier. There were some things I didn't know until recently. I thought everything was black or white; some people were good and some were bad. I didn't expect things to be so mixed.

[Strangely, telling this person everything while remaining nameless made her feel a bit better. Sora needed to get this out.]

[aurathread]

Sounded like it.

[vacare]

Is that scary too? The idea that the people you want to be friends with aren't all the way good?

[ eiji is just here to help! and help. and help...! ]
