REUNION WRAP UP

[the_overseers]

[People come, People go - it's as steady as the ticking of the clock, or the rapping of Susan's pencil against her desk. 0134 had been going steady for almost thirteen years now. In the grounds is a party spread, people laughing and gossiping, bragging, and lamenting over jobs, family, home, anything.

Who did you meet in ten years? Did you find love, or rivalry? A promotion, or a litany of demerits? Or has things stay the same, save perhaps a few more gray hairs, some bags under the eyes. It's been a long time, let's see what went on]

((ooc: tag anyone and anywhere, pretend it is ten years in the future, think about what it'd be like))

I wouldn't think so. Ar Ru never swears by herself, that's for sure. I haven't met any of the other divinities.

[Speaking of being back, Mir's been on leave for several months. Not many people could fault her-Ar Ciel has gone from hellhole to paradise, natural beauty and human civilization combined to produce a truly extraordinary world. But she wasn't on leave because home is beautiful. After several years of courtship, engagement and finally matrimony, she's just returned from maternity leave. The twins are adorable, but she's sworn off ever having more children naturally. The father agrees, being a sensible man who understands that a woman has certain interests in not being ripped apart like that again.]

I'm still too used to it! *sigh* Although it's nice to see you back here, anyway. Are you feeling better?

[former_endboss]

I wouldn't be back at work if I hadn't recovered from that ordeal. Although...

Until a couple of weeks ago they just slept and ate. Now there's actually some interest in the world there, and I'm missing out on some of it right now.

[forgivethemtheirpain]

I guess that's just how it is, isn't it?

[former_endboss]

I suppose. But really, I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't leave, go home, and start writing professionally. I mean, I already have two bestsellers in the market here.

[forgivethemtheirpain]

I don't think I'm going to leave regardless. I don't think "professional ocean goddess" sounds very impressive anyway.

[former_endboss]

I know of at least one professional love goddess and a song goddess. At least, so Cocona says. She's usually reliable about these things.

But anyways, my parole officer would have a fit if I stopped coming here altogether, so I guess if I want to keep my head I'd better get back to work.

[forgivethemtheirpain]

That's one of those things, too...

[former_endboss]

I think you were one of the quickest to forgive me when you learned what I did, but some people won't ever forget. Myself included.

[forgivethemtheirpain]

People do a lot of things sometimes. Because they're hurt.

[former_endboss]

Repaying my pain ten million fold was overreacting. On a global scale.

But we've been over this before, you're enough of a messiah to forgive anyone who wants to make amends.

[forgivethemtheirpain]

It's just the right thing to do, that's all.

[former_endboss]

Which is why I praise those who do it. It might be right, but that doesn't mean it's easy.

[forgivethemtheirpain]

If you have that much faith in me, I'll do my best.
