...

So this is what it feels like when a friend suddenly disappears.

[ Menma's face is... indescribable, sad but also lost. This is the first time one of her close friends leaves this world all of a sudden. Even she has no idea how she should feel about this. On her lap, there's an Eevee who looks just as lost.

It's like she musing to herself, rather than talking to the network directly. ]

At least now Maria can grow up and be happy in her home... uu... wish I could thank her for giving me this little one. [ She pets the Pokemon on the head absent-mindedly. ] I don't know if I should be glad for her, or... How do you all feel when a friend disappears? I... just don't know.

[ She quickly wipes a tear off her cheek, and then shuts the feed off. ]

*uwhooooooooooooooa mariatriceeeeee I want to see your smileeeeeeeeeeeee

aka Hayate looks a tad upset about this himself. He's lost quite a few friends recently though, so he's bit... toughened up.*

It's always different, Menma-san. It all depends on how close you were, how they felt about being here... How much you knew about their home... That kind of stuff.

From:

seetheflower

I think we were very close? [ Friends are always close, no matter how long they've been together, ok. ] She taught me magic, and she was always helpful and happy to talk to me. We just met the other day...

From:

combat_butler

Mm... That's definitely Maria alright.

At least you can be glad you got to meet her in person before this happened, right?

From:

seetheflower

She told me she was here for a long time... I wish I arrived earlier just to spend more time with her.

[ That name by someone who uses that "uu" speech pattern... ]

A younger girl, with orange hair?

From:

seetheflower

Yes... she was such a sweet girl, and she also taught me magic.

From:

timelymaid

Ah...she was very sweet. I spoke to her when I first got here, and a few times after.

From:

seetheflower

Mhm, me too. We became friends immediately! And she was very intelligent for someone her age. [ By Menma's standards anyway, since she's theorically younger than Maria. ]

I'm really sorry about your friend. My friend just recently left, too.

From:

seetheflower

I'm sorry to hear that... who was your friend?

From:

captainash

...I'm sorry. What kind of friend was she?

From:

seetheflower

She was a cute little girl. Her name was Maria. Did you ever talk to her, captain?

From:

captainash

I don't think I have, no. How long have you known each other?

From:

seetheflower

Uu-... about two months? It was since I arrived here. She was one of the first people to welcome me.

[...oh. Isn't this that girl who wanted to be friends a while ago? This is...

...well, it's incredibly awkward, that's what it is, though there's at least something about it that's depressing enough to warrant a reply - and as such he'll stick to audio instead of giving her video, mostly because Descole never really knows what to say about things like this. Sorry, hon, but how do we shot comforting.]

...my apologies about your friend, Menma. [He pauses for a moment; awkward awkward awkward.] I've lost a few myself. Some come back; some I haven't seen since.

Do you....I don't know, want to talk about it?

Edited (...wow dal can you figure out the passage of time here) Date: 2012-12-16 07:26 am (UTC)

From:

seetheflower

[ Menma's memory is not the best ever, but she does recognize the voice, and for a moment she'd like to smile and tell him she'll be alright after all.

She can't do it.

Audio it is, then, because she doesn't like showing her face right now. Sad faces makes other people sad, it's contagious, and it's the least thing she wants to cause. ]

Talk about it? I don't know... but I'm sorry you had to see your friend go.

From:

scientificflair

Don't worry about me; it's fine, now.

I suppose in some ways it's for the best, however. Most people do have things to get back to, and this world tends to pull people from some rather inconvenient moments. If she's happy where she was, then it's...appropriate, to feel glad for her, but at the same time this does affect you. So it's all right to feel negatively about that aspect. I suppose.

[Ah. Maria this time. Crow knew the girl, even if briefly, and genuinely liked her, so it's sad to hear she's gone. But even sadder is seeing someone who was close to her announce her disappearance.]

Shitty.

[That's a very direct response to the question, but that's how he feels on that matter.]

It's stupid, sometimes, 'cause going home is better for some than staying here, I guess... And it's kinda selfish, but-- losing a friend always feels bad.

[He makes a short pause here.]

... Ain't anything wrong with that, I think.

From:

seetheflower

[ Menma is staring at the camera, with an expression that goes from confused to lost for a moment. ]

Maria said it was fun here... she had so many cute Nokemon. [ She's not misspelling it. ] She'll be happy to be home for sure, but people shouldn't have to leave without at least saying a goodbye...

[ And then she has to ask. ] ... What is "shitty"? [ Because she's mathematically six years old and nobody ever said that word to her before. ]
