Bullet 12

[bulletserenade]

Well, that whole ordeal sure was awkward. Now I understand why everyone gets nervous when the island's antics take over. This time, it definitely wasn't all fun and games.

[Private; hackable by friends]chaos is... gone. I've heard others talking about people disappearing, but... this is the first time it's happened to someone I knew. Someone who

People leave all the time, but it's hard to notice the effects until it happens to you.

[bulletserenade]

Yeah...

Has anyone you've been close with disappeared?

[frumpyface]

[bulletserenade]

Er. I guess I shouldn't have asked that, huh?

...Sorry.

[sealed_rose]

Honestly, I have been better. Between being stuck to someone and losing a dear friend, this has been a hard week and a half. But now that things are going back to normal I will be fine.

How are you handling all this?

[bulletserenade]

Yeah, this hasn't exactly been a fun time, has it?

I'm... okay. I'm trying not to think about it too much. He wouldn't want us to be sad, right?

[sealed_rose]

Especially that morning.

No, he wouldn't. In fact he would probably be upset because we were.

[bulletserenade]

He would. He was a really nice guy, always looking out for everyone else... we could do with more people like him, that's for sure.

But that doesn't make it any easier to accept. *sigh*

[regina_incendia]

A lot of people having been leaving recently.

[bulletserenade]

They have. I keep wondering if there's any reason, or if it really is just as random as it seems.

[regina_incendia]

Random or following some pattern set by a higher power. Either way, we may as well consider it to be random.

[bulletserenade]

What do you think, Sanaki? Is it random, or is there some kind of god just playing with us here?

[deathly_origami]

Jr...

Miss Agrias mentioned a monument to people who have disappeared in the center of town. I was planning on paying a visit... would you like to accompany me? It might help...

[bulletserenade]

That sounds like a really good idea. I'd love to.

[deathly_origami]

*smiles* Always happy to have you around.

Just... keep smiling, alright? I can't imagine your friend would want to see you sad.

[bulletserenade]

I'm trying. You're exactly right, chaos wouldn't want to see anyone sad. So I'm doing my best not to get too depressed.

[hunterxofxrare]

So it was somebody you knew this time?

...I'm sorry.

[bulletserenade]

Yeah. Somebody I knew from my world, even. He was... a good friend.

Thanks.

[hunterxofxrare]

Someone from your world? Well then, hopefully he made it back there safe and sound.

It's hard to lose friends, especially when you don't get the chance to say good bye, but... Don't let it get you down too much, 'kay? I'm sure he wouldn't want you to be sad just because he left. Who knows, maybe he's somewhere nice where he remembers everything!

[bulletserenade]

I hope so. I really do.

I'm trying. It's just... I had so much to ask him. And I really liked the guy, you know? He wouldn't want me, or anyone, to be sad, though. So for his sake, I'm not going to let this get me too down.
