[video] Detective Selphie Strikes Again.

[dystopiadreams]

*This is nice. Selphie looks much more like her usual self. She's sunk into the sofa in her home, and she's been sipping some tea. Moses is slightly out of the screen, licking at some cream from a bowl. She turns on the SFC, but realises that she's still holding her mug, so there's some slight awkward panic before she puts it back down on the table

One year and nine months, and still counting.

[dystopiadreams]

Wow... That's a long time...

So what about... home..? Even I'm starting to get used to the idea that I might be in Vatheon forever..

[aimforthesun]

Honestly? Sometimes I've given up on it.

Either way, I guess I'm just unlucky. There's only one other person who's been here for as long as I have, and even he got to go home for three days.

[dystopiadreams]

...I think I have too. And I haven't been here as long as you.

*She took a deep breath before tilting her head*

Hmm? Who..?

[redcloakedthief]

That'd be me. And Billy, I guess. Saya came a few days after.

[A chuckle and a grin.]

How does a year and nine months sound to you?

[dystopiadreams]

That sounds like crazy!

And so... you've never figure out how to get home? Any closer?

[redcloakedthief]

Not a shred.

We've learned more about this place, but never a way to go home.

Strange, isn't it?

[dystopiadreams]

Yeah. It kinda is.

But...how do you feel about that? I mean, about maybe never getting home?

[treasurehunted]

Man, from what I hear, a year doesn't even begin to cover it. Hell Selphie, dunno if I can last that long.

[dystopiadreams]

*Selphie frowns a little and tilts her head*

He-ey... What are you even talking about, mister? Of course you can!

How long have you been round here, anyway?

[treasurehunted]

Coupla months already. I can't be dallyin' for this long! I've got an island to get back to.

[dystopiadreams]

Mmm... But... Well, at least you've got some good friends here. We're all willing to keep you happy until we get home.

*Have a fond, encouraging smile*

[contemptibility]

... Nearly a year, is it?

[Damn it. He definitely doesn't want to stay that long.]

[dystopiadreams]

*Selphie smiles brightly, though it wanes quickly as she nods*

Uh huh.

How are ya, Tiir, anyway?

[contemptibility]

... I sincerely hope that isn't the standard here.

[... He will never get used to a human asking him how he is.]

And I'm as fine as I'll ever be in this place, I suppose.

[dystopiadreams]

Looks like it might be. I'm not thinking much about ever getting home.

*A brighter smile*

So I'm glad you're fine, cause you're gonna probably be round here for a while.
