9th Card ♛ Text | Day 214

[key_illusion]

[Hello Asgard, it's "???" popping up again.]

What makes a home?

Is Asgard a home to you now?

[........Yup, that's all he has to say, even if he should probably notify people who may be interested to know that he's alive awake.]

Comments

voice.

[stakes]

I think it's the people that make it home. And it's -- I mean, at least for me, maybe for other people, it's a lot more complicated than just calling it home. It's definitely a home. But I'm not really sure it overrules old home. Y'know?

[Text]

[key_illusion]

[Deeeefinitely staying with text.]

No, I don't. [He's never had or meant to have one.] So it's still a home even if the people disappear?

[video]

[dreamspinning]

Ah, you are with us once again, little ghost.

[Filtered Audio]

[key_illusion]

[Ah yes, he remembers Ushahin despite re-uploading all his Asgardian memories. He doesn't have his coat on though since he's still in bed, but he does switch to audio and a filter.]

...Yeah, I guess so. [He's still debating if that's a good thing or not.] How long was I out?

[nukeoleptic]

how does the saying go? :?
'home is where the heart is'?

[key_illusion]

Let's stay away from that saying.

[Audio - Filtered]

[lethechained]

[She definitely has to respond the second she sees this.]

You're back...!

[Audio - Filtered]

[key_illusion]

[Even if she can't see it, ???'s smiling a bit when he hears Namine's voice. Oddly enough, he sounds a little subdued as well.]

Yeah...Sounds like I've been gone awhile.

[video]

[trinitylimit]

It's kind of a home away from home.

[Don't get the wrong idea, Sora is still very much wary of ???. He's just naturally nice.]

[Text]

[key_illusion]

[Of course he has to deal with the other Sora right when he gets back. Not that he knows how the original would test, but...he doesn't really care. He did his job.

But he continues with text.]

How is this world different from any of the others you've been to?

[private; text]

[tenacityformed]

Good morning. Sleep well?

[as if you weren't the one to put him to sleep, Lea]

[Private Text]

[key_illusion]

[...Hello Lea. He's not sure what to think of this text.]

It wasn't exactly sleeping or I barely noticed.

audio.

[redhourglass]

[ that's a good question. having disavowed Russia and adopted America .. but still feeling very much on the outside, Natasha wasn't quite sure that she had a home. it wasn't here, though. ]

I don't think I've been here long enough to consider this place home. It seems like some people have, though.

[ there, that seems like a safe answer. she can't begin to address his first question. ]

[Text]

[key_illusion]

[??? is observant enough to realize that she didn't answer the first, but he's not going to make a big deal of it.]

Why do you think they have?

[ Backdated to Morning? :) - At Loki ]

[issuesdrawn]

[ Although she tried to fight her exhaustion, Nina is currently asleep, sitting in a chair next to ???'s bedside. ]

[key_illusion]

[It starts with a twitch of his hands first, but he's slowly opening up his eyes. He's not sure what to think at first while he simply takes in the ceiling. All there is is silence, but finally the last thing he remembers is the halls of Castle Oblivion and speaking to Sora...

"Go home?"

Now he's...back. Back in Asgard, and everything is so different compared to the datascape. Even himself.]

Home...?

[His question is barely audible as he begins to sit up but not ready to get out of bed. The next issue is who-- no, it takes him only a second to realize that Nina's beside him. He's almost glad that she's sleeping though, but just how long has she been there? Another moment passes before he reaches out to her to touch her shoulder.]

Nina, you should go to bed.

[faints]

Access...! [ You're awake, you have no idea how worried and mad and confused he was mister oh my god. ]

[Video - Filtered]

[key_illusion]

[???'s hoping it's more confusion and worry than anger, but he actually turns on the video feed for Roxas. He's still in bed, and looking rather subdued than tired.]

Hey...Sorry I've been away for so long.

text; sorry not sorry for heart-talk

[badwolf]

homes wherever you're happiest.

you know. "home is where the heart is."

[key_illusion]

So I've heard. [Not that it applies to him either.]

Home doesn't necessarily need to be where you come from?

[Video]

[5thchild]

I was told people make home. People you want to return to, and who will say "welcome back" when you do.

Those people who are your family.

[Text]

[key_illusion]

People you want to return to and people who want you to return? People don't stay in one place though.

It sounds like friends can be family too, by that definition, right?

[text]

[daddyissues]

That's a surprisingly difficult question. Go figure.

[key_illusion]

Sounds like some have an easier time than others, and "home" has a different meaning to different people.

[text]

[likethelight]

[ Everyone here...

They really, really like asking these things on the bracelets. And this one makes Allen pause a little, but --

Thoughtfully. ]

Why are you asking?

[key_illusion]

Because someone asked if I was going home.

[...And ??? normally wouldn't be so honest, especially out in the open, but he could care less at them moment.]

[text]

[demonicbookworm]

I think a home is a place that you can always return to. A place where someone is waiting for you. A place that you always miss and want to return to.

[key_illusion]

What if it's a place you've never been to, but you still know it and miss it?

[text]

[linkedtogod]

A place to live you intend to live for a long time.

Asgard is a temporary home.

[key_illusion]

So you define a home on whether you live in it or not? Temporary because you won't stay, but you still live there anyways.

[text]

[wasthemaster]

There's no such thing as a home, really.

[key_illusion]

[Interesting answer there, Draco.]

Why do you say that?

[Audio - filtered]

[occulthymns]

[She is so worried right now. But at least he's awake now, right? She should feel relieved.]

Are you okay??

[Audio - filtered]

[key_illusion]

Yeah, I'm fine. [He sounds better compared to how he was before seeing Roxas, but now he's fine.]
