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.

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'?

[Filtered Audio]

[dreamspinning]

[we can do audio then]

It was perhaps a week.

[marking time is still not particularly important to ushahin, alas]

How do you feel for the rest?

[key_illusion]

Let's stay away from that saying.

[nukeoleptic]

oh, ummm
okay!!
i was just saying

[key_illusion]

Physically? It wasn't going to do much, but I feel a little more relieved. [For an entirely different reason.]

[key_illusion]

I know. You're not wrong, but that answer isn't helpful to me.

No offense.

text/voice forever ♥

[stakes]

That's the thing about homes. They're still homes, even if the people come and go. A piece of a person always stays where they've been, I think.

[nukeoleptic]

what makes a home is different to everyone i guess
some people have managed to build lives here
that makes it a home for me, i think

[key_illusion]

That makes sense. I'm not really the same person here as I am back in my world. Maybe that's the piece that stays.

[dreamspinning]

Feeling is not merely a physical thing. Did something change?

[key_illusion]

I think I almost did that here. [Almost. He's not quite sure, but the difference between Asgard and back home is starting to become more apparent.]

[Audio - Filtered]

[lethechained]

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

You're back...!

[nukeoleptic]

whats stopping you?
and.... i missed you, by the way

[key_illusion]

[To tell or not to tell, that is the question.

...Except he doesn't really care at the moment.]

I went back to my world for a little bit.

[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.

[dreamspinning]

Ah. And you learned something.

[key_illusion]

I don't know. Too many things on my mind. [But now that's less of an issue.]

Sorry. I was away for a little bit. [Or asleep for a week.]

[nukeoleptic]

:/ you should come over when you feel up to it
since we are neighbors now and everything <3

[Audio - Filtered]

[lethechained]

Yes.... At least, it seemed like a long time.

[Any time was too long as far as she was concerned. -- Oh.]

By the way, I looked after the cow while you were gone. [She says that only so that he doesn't have to worry about his bro!cow any more than he already might have. (Man, she still needs a name.)]

[key_illusion]

No, more like completed what I needed to do. [Now all that's left for him to do is disappear.]

[key_illusion]

[Ah yes, his bro!cow. It takes him a moment to remember only because he's reuploading and sifting through all the information he's gathered here.]

...Thanks. I should probably find her a better place to stay just in case this happens again.
