Three years in this place...

[Three years today, that is.]

I guess it ain't so weird, seein' it empty. It just happened a few years earlier than I figured.

Discedo's still a wreck. So, I wouldn't come back here so quick if I were any of you.

[There's a pause while he thinks about adding something. Then again, he's tired of repeating himself

[fierybluebird]

Thanks for the warning.

[prodigal_axe]

Tch...not a big deal.

So how's it over there?

[fierybluebird]

Weird. There's a dinosaur leading people around and a freaking cryptic message that doesn't mean much.

I guess the scientists are bored beyond dropping new people in inconvenient places.

[prodigal_axe]

Same old shit, different city. It's a good thing I stayed here I guess. At least it's quiet.

[pilot_princess]

Happy Discoversary, Shinji.

...this is even sadder than my last birthday. [She laughs dryly.] But at least you're alive, right?

[prodigal_axe]

Thanks...

[Sighing.] Yeah. At least we're still here.

...wanna 'celebrate?' There's enough darkness beer left for that.

[pilot_princess]

[There's a quick nod.]

It's a good way to celebrate, even if it's just us and Gulliver.

[prodigal_axe]

It's not so bad. At least we've got some peace and quiet around here.

Hey, is Gulliver hungry?

[prodigal_axe]

What, you mean the 'Lights?

[prodigal_axe]

[...]

Look...it's gonna take a lot more than a bomb to get rid of this place. Alright?

[todayitwasyou]

Do you mean the barn is still okay..? Did someone take care of the animals when all the bad things happened?

[ video ]

[prodigal_axe]

I don't know about 'okay.' The building's in awful shape... but the animals are still alive.

[...] Someone was, but she left.

[ video ]

[todayitwasyou]

I'm glad the animals are okay.. That's the most important part, right? I'd feel very sorry for the animals if anything happened to them.

[ video ]

[prodigal_axe]

Yeah... I guess this ain't a great place for them. They'd be better off over in Dissimulo.

[dontcallmegol]

3 years... shit.

Hey man, I know that place holds a lot of memories, but if you ever want to leave and relocate, we'll be happy to come get you.

Spero's a little better off than Discedo, maybe you can reopen the Lights in one of the Hotels or something?

Not saying you have to if you don't want {Though he's a little concerned about you sticking around Discedo considering we were all warned to leave. He has to wonder what the effects of that blast are doing to you.}... but it's an option in any case. Sounds like you could use a change of scenery my friend.

[prodigal_axe]

Yeah... that's about right.

[Shinjiro's listening in surprise. Though it shouldn't be weird to get an offer like that-- most people have left the city after all. Still, kind of touching. Not that he'll let on.]

Look, you don't have to sail all the way over here just for that. It's fine the way it is right now.

...maybe if it gets much worse. Anemone's still here with me, so...

[dontcallmegol]

I... had no idea. I honestly wouldn't have left without either of you if I had known.

{Now he feels bad.}

I thought you two were with one of the others groups. I'm sorry.

[prodigal_axe]

Hey, none of that. We decided to stay here... someone's got to, right. So far we're both fine.
