5th Memory [Text]

[He doesn't want to talk to anyone. He doesn't want to see anyone at the moment either. His brother is gone, his other best friend is gone... Soubi is gone. While he knows he'll see Youji again when he gets home... however long... But Soubi and Seimei? He doesn't know. Like so much in his life, he doesn't know if he'll see them again.]

How often do people return after they leave? Is there... some sort of rate of possibility?

[Because if he can have it in numbers, have it in some sort of concrete fact, he can rationalize it better. He can handle the possibility of percentage about seeing his brother again. At home he has no idea when he might see Seimei again, but here, here couldn't there just be something... concrete?

He knew there wasn't. He knew that it was as unpredictable as anything else.

He was just in denial, it was something he was good at.]

I came back instantly. Like snapping your fingers.

Did you remember being here at all? Did a lot of time pass for you back home?

[espouses]

I didn't remember a single second, not until I came back. As for time, about three years passed.

From what I've seen and researched so far, I believe it's based purely on chance. People come and go like clockwork.

[ A note of sympathy, despite herself. ] .... I'm sorry. Did someone close to you leave recently?

[Text]

[in_loveless_memory]

[Nope, staying purely in text. Nope nope nope.]

I sort of... figured it was all by chance. I was just... I really wanted there to be... something more concrete.

[ Suit yourself, kiddo'. She's not gonna' bug you in that regard, Lucy's just concerned. ]

You could ask the ... gods themselves, if you're up for it. [ Begrudgingly stated, at that. ] I doubt they'll give you a straight answer, but I've heard several from the other Travelers here.

[So someone else that Ritsuka knew had left huh. Kio wondered who it was this time, and why they were still stuck there. Though had he known it was Seimei it would be cause for celebration.]

I've heard people talk about it a lot of times, so it's probably a pretty good chance.

[in_loveless_memory]

[Not just Seimei, but Youji and Soubi too.]

I wonder if it... could be two at a time too...

[Text]

[piercedpainter]

Sure. Don't people usually show up in groups. [Hadn't Soubi said that brat had showed up around the same time the two of them had, and then there was Seimei. Maybe that was why they all left together. But then why the hell were they still there.]

They'll probably show back up when you're not expecting them.

[Jamie can sort of understand what Ritsuka's going through. He lost someone important recently too. She'd been like a mother to him ever since they first met.]

I don't think there's any pattern of when people leave and when they come back. It's just random. As random as when we show up the first time and when we leave.

[in_loveless_memory]

[Oh... hey Jamie.]

So I've been told... [He just... wanted some sort of concrete fact in this place. Just... something to make up for all the other crazy in this place.]

Was sort of just hoping that... it wouldn't be the case.

[Text]

[firstbeliever]

Yeah, I know.

Want to come over? [A distraction is always good.]

[samantha_grey]

[Damnit, Ritsuka. You keep making it hard for her to keep her 'bitchy pain in the ass' cred with messages like these.]

Its very hard to predict. Someone from home, I take it?

[in_loveless_memory]

[He's not answering that second question. He doesn't want to. Let him have his denial.]

People have all said the same thing, pretty much. And the gods are a bit too busy to bother.

[samantha_grey]

Odin going to sleep? Yeah, they're probably scrambling to get things back in order...

They don't control it half as well as they pretend, Ritsuka.

[made_4_ritsuka]

Ritsuka-kun. Can I come over? [She's worried.]

[Voice]

[in_loveless_memory]

[Because it's Yuiko... or perhaps only for Yuiko he takes himself off of text. He takes a deep breath and puts on a brave tone, for her.]

I... yeah... wait... no... No Hel house is... is dangerous. Maybe somewhere else.

Re: [Voice]

[made_4_ritsuka]

Dangerous? But it's where Ritsuka-kun lives. [How could it be dangerous? And she knows that he can't spend too much time in their house without feeling weird and he was alredy upset so . . .]

Umm where do you want to go then?

From what I've heard, there's a somewhat bigger chance that someone will come here when they've already been here once. Something about it being easier to get a grip on them.

[Text]

[in_loveless_memory]

[John, you have become his most favorite person in this whole post.]

Wait... so... because we've been here before, it would be the easier for the gods to bring them back?

[Text]

[hadbadays]

[ And this could have been the Doctor if he wasn't cursed. :') ]

I think it's actually more of a theory, but I'd say it's got enough evidence of it happening to back that up.

[emulation]

No clue. What happened?

[in_loveless_memory]

Nothing I intend on divulging.

[runtothesunlight]

I came back about a month and a half after I left.

[In Asgard time, of course.]

But I'm not sure if that's average.

[Text]

[in_loveless_memory]

It's as random as everything else here.
