♐ 003 // [Action] - Fourth Wall

[crisisrain]

[Raven was sitting on the porch of house 12, debating whether or not to try and brave the light snow fall. He wanted to go buy some red wine and curl up in the warm, ignoring winter forever. He can't ignore the fact that there is a sudden abundance of strange wingless people walking around however.]

Comments

[crisisrain]

Could be. I wouldn't want to remember bein' here with you, but it turns out the other me was from much later in time. I guess what happened here, just hasn't happened fer me yet.

[fallenambitions]

[...] I doubt that is the case. How far back?

[crisisrain]

Not long after the Shrine of Baction. [He doesn't need to know they were on board the Heracles.]

[fallenambitions]

Ah...I see. [There's no point in explaining his own death unless it's brought up]

A little behind from what I remembered. How long have you been here, this second time around?

[crisisrain]

What's with all the questions? I dunno what kinda relationship we had here before, but I'm not about ta get all friendly with ya.

[fallenambitions]

We were never friendly then. Simply tolerated one another presence to a point. We both had...other matters to worry about than adding to it.

[crisisrain]

I'll take yer word on that for now. Ya haven't told me what point in time you were from.

[fallenambitions]

[...]

Zaude, the weapon of the ancients, I had risen it from the depths of the ocean...and completed the task I had set out to do in my time.

[crisisrain]

Ya couldn't have completed it, Yuri told me outright that they killed you. You wouldn't listen to reason anymore.

[fallenambitions]

...Heh, can't solve anything yourself without someone telling you everything? I could have meant anything with that. I went and unlocked the secrets of Zaude as planned, even if the outcome was not what I wanted.

[crisisrain]

Ya do realize problems are solved by askin' questions, I asked Yuri what happened, and he told me.

Doesn't matter what secrets ya unlocked, the point stands that you were stopped before ya killed countless innocent people.

[fallenambitions]

I'm not exactly sure what it is you're trying to gain from telling me what I am already aware of.

[crisisrain]

I'm not the kinda person who needs to gain anythin' from this. Suddenly, ya magically showed up here! I'm just tryin' ta figure out what I'm gonna do about it.

[fallenambitions]

...Don't worry so much about it. It's likely I won't be here for very long.

[crisisrain]

Does that have anythin' ta do with why ya don't have wings then?

[fallenambitions]

Yes, possibly. People suddenly arriving here without wings...it seems vaguely familiar to me. As if, it has happened once before.

Since I don't recall see any wingless individual while I was here, this is likely nothing permanent.

[crisisrain]

So you'll be leavin' soon? Goin' off to die must suck, if ya remember this chat, maybe ya might wanna consider changin' yer plans.

[fallenambitions]

...I'm quite dead already, Raven. I did leave once before, what do you think was waiting for me then?

[crisisrain]

A dead man feelin' regret, huh? Why does that sound so familiar.

[fallenambitions]

Regret? I faced death head on and accepted my fate. [...] There's no point in dwelling on it anymore.

[crisisrain]

Funny ya say that, because the fact ya paused shows that you might be thinkin' otherwise.

[fallenambitions]

...I've done plenty of that when I was here once before. I have nothing else to concern myself with, but await for death to find me again.

[crisisrain]

Geez, yer startin' ta sound like me on a bad day. If yer alive right now, what's stoppin' ya from doing something good with what time you have left? Common sense, sometimes I wonder if ya've got it.

[fallenambitions]

[...Why does that comment amuse him?] The you before told me the very same thing, if I remember correctly. Had I not seen you first, I would have already been looking for the people I made acquaintance with before.

[crisisrain]

What makes ya think they haven't left as well?
