#44 - Oh brother where art thou

[inthecenterfold]

[[I was away all day bawww so we'll say that Smoke is only finally coherent enough to write in the journal and hasn't read Lin's entry yet /braces for hate. He saw Lotus' entry and immediately went to the park with Aniki in tow and found Amurui, with player permission from both~]]

[the handwriting is chicken-scratchy, reminiscent of Smoke's earliest entries]

Amurui's stuck in some kind of clear cocoon thing. I didn't see what happened.

Aniki and I'll be here in the park until it hatches.

This whole situation is.

[He'll probably be around anyway, since he does happen to live there... but he'll make his campfire far enough away, or maybe behind some trees, to give Smoke the option of coming over or staying with Amurui, whichever he'd like.]

I'm more pissed at myself I didn't even think about this until now.

[Lack of foresight, alas. He could come over for a short visit?]

[iattractmushi]

There's no way you could have known this was going to happen.

[If he does, Cloud will let him sit by the fire in silence.]

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Not that - what happens if Amurui ... doesn't remember.

[iattractmushi]

...you remind him.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Gotta get him to that whole listening part first.

[iattractmushi]

He seemed alright to me the once or twice I've talked to him over the journals, if not very talkative. But if you think there'll be problems when he comes out, I'll be happy to let you handle it.

There's something that happens to him, and he [phrasing is important here, yay pings that are now memories] goes berserk. Completely loses himself.

I want to make sure he doesn't do anything he'll regret later. [more pings that aren't pings] I'll be the one to stop him. Just like I was the first time.

[Goes... berserk? Oh, man...]

2/2

[iattractmushi]

...that something that happens a lot?

At least you have some idea of what you're doing, if you've done it before.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Not all that often, thankfully. Sometimes when he's angry or upset. Sometimes for no reason, not one I know anyway.

That's the reason... if he remembers, I'm the best one to stop him. Even if he doesn't, I know what works at least to calm him down.

Guì-Cloud, please tell him what you have told me.

[iattractmushi]

Alright, sure.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Say what now?

[iattractmushi]

I'll tell you later.

[[ooc: Cloud told Huo about the CPA claiming responsibility for stuff]]

Matching icons ftw?

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

... Right, whatever.

[[Ah ha~]]
