I have a feeling you're all wondering why I haven't updated lately with something brilliant and inspired. Let's just say I'll count myself lucky for being excused from the naughty and nice list. Those little adventures I had in university don't need to make it onto the network, and I think I've been a good boy lately. Of course, given the little

...It appears to be a curse.

[irresoluteness]

I think that's a safe bet. But while the curse is in action, I can't erase everything I've already typed up.

[denyinurgod]

What are the other effects of this curse?

[irresoluteness]

Talking about family is my best guess.

[She'd done this... how many times now? It didn't matter, the number, but what did matter was that she knew where she had to go first, what she had to see. The way back to their apartment, (the apartment, if he was no longer in this City, still, because it couldn't quite be theirs if he was gone), was more than familiar, and though she was still slightly chill, still dead, still supposed to be gone...

Anew still wanted to be here, wanted this chance, once more, twice more, a million times more. Her hand moved to the door knob, but she paused, a soft, hopeful look clouding up her eyes. As she moved to knock.]

[It's important to note that the condition of the apartment is different this time. Rather than tattered, it's only a little messy, and it's obvious that Lyle has done a good job keeping things together. Now that he's acquired a job (through no one on the network, he went out and tried something a little different), there's actually food in the fridge

[She wasn't sure if she'd stopped breathing, when she heard someone approaching the door, or if it had just felt like it. But she knew she had, when he opened the door, and it really was him standing there- waiting, just like she'd hoped.]

... I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

[Wanted to reach out for him, just to remind herself that she did remember how he felt, the warmth of him, but for now, she only looked at him, broke in to that gentle smile. Was it selfish? Perhaps a little, and yet... she couldn't feel the slightest bit of guilt for it.]

Can I come in, Lyle?

[He opens the door wider, stepping aside so she can step in.]

I'd never say no to you.

[ourdenouement]

That's depressing.

[ourdenouement]

But I'm glad to hear you guys are trying! Come have a spaghetti dinner with us!

[irresoluteness]

It's the kind of thing that's best left in the past.

I think we might as well, but you don't mind Anew coming, do you? It seems she's returned again.

[ourdenouement]

It's weird that you guys were rivals.

Who's that?

[worthier]

Proper?

[irresoluteness]

Ones that talk, at any rate.

[worthier]

I will admit that some family dynamics are still unfamiliar to me.

[irresoluteness]

I don't think you have the same experience as some.

[haroicsacrifice]

It's one of those curses again, isn't it? They usually pass me by.

[irresoluteness]

That's it. I think it meant a lot more to make me say it.

[haroicsacrifice]

You might be right. I sure wouldn't have mentioned anything about a rivalry.

[irresoluteness]

That's because you didn't believe there was one.
