[Everything seems... frustrating. Everything seems like it's stewing. He wanders around, trying to find something to do other than swatting bugs and killing (and sometimes saving) beasts.]

[But is everything really... how it's supposed to be? He's not sure. He takes a crystal out of his pocket and stares at it for a while. He's not sure how to use the magic here - he's tried, but maybe because it crosses the rift he can't call upon others? He huffs in frustration, curling up a little bit.]

]But he doesn't let go of the crystal. This crystal, which means so much to him, that came to him through a twist of fate. ... But was it really fate? Or was it always going to happen?]

[Eventually, he grabs his omni and writes out a post. Anonymously, because... well. He doesn't want people to worry. Even if it'll probably be obvious that it's him...]

Is who you were in the past important to who you are now?

I would have said yes, but some days... some days I'm not sure. I don't know anymore.

Everything's so complicated and I don't even know if who I was is who I am now...

Maybe this was stupid to ask. Sorry.

Yeah, no, I think Riteior tried doing that and it just ended up real bad for them.
And I think I know a guy who tried to kill the Reckoning and got his ass smote big time.
I don't know if there's much point in trying to fight them. No matter how tired we all are of this stuff.
There's a few we can learn to live with. October's usually a bad time for me, but having Cloverfield here can help out, you know? They're not all terrible.

The ones that are, though...

[aetherweaver]

October is my blessed month, it seems. It's when my birthday falls, at least when converted to this world's calendar. So I don't mind it quite as much, but... well. Any month can be terrible here.

The ones that are terrible are... exhausting. I don't understand people who delight in cruelty, no matter what species they are.

[hauntedsavior]

Fucking honestly, dude.
I've dealt with enough cruelty in my life that I couldn't do anything about.
Hell, the past... six years of it back home have been bad enough, but you can't take a sword to the kind of problems I was dealing with there.
(Not without getting a bunch of government agencies on your ass.)

Anyway, yeah, I'm just glad we're all in this together and in general we're all trying to find a better way to live for everyone.
That shouldn't be such a hard fucking prospect (rising tide lifts all boats and all that) but jesus, man, it's a relief to have that here.

[aetherweaver]

Ah, government. Sometimes helpful, often just a pain in the arse.

Less of a thing where you're from, then?
