002.nd Fragment: The Missing Time [audio]

This place really is like a fairy tale, isn't it..?

[ Aether's voice is thoughtful, even a little distant. His fingers drum on the window of the library in a soft and steady rhythm, creating a sound that conceals the sound of the wind outside. This might not be the safest or the warmest place, but he's fine with that. Seeking a more permanent hoe ( Read more... )

Even since I came back I've been thinking along similar lines.....

I forgot so many important people when I went home, and while I am grateful I could, I hate that I forgot the people here.

It isn't all that strange. One story is rarely the same as another. There are times when two plotlines shouldn't intersect least they destroy each other...

Still, it feels wasteful to lose lessons of one story before you move on to another.

I understand. I've met people here from my world that come from decades into the future, such knowledge as they've shared with me could be dangerous if remembered. but even still...

I have people I've grown to care for here that I would prefer not to forget.

Mm...

There was a time when my name and memories of this place were all I had. Home called me back, however, and that existence came to be replaced by a different one.

I do not regret the change. I do wonder what would I become if it happened differently.

Sometimes, the memories are not what needs to truly be protected. The thought that I will never technically "leave" my world but for an instant is the only thing that keeps me sane.

[For a certain definition of sane.]

The time you spend back home is that precious to you, hm?

[ He can understand that. But at the same time, there is something more to consider. ]

What about memories of here? Do they amount to nothing?

[Voice] phantasmgap December 12 2011, 06:25:16 UTC

It is not the time I spend there, it is the time I spend keeping it safe.

My home is incredibly dear to me, and if anything were to befall it, nothing else would amount to anything at all. So while memories of here are indeed precious, they are something that I am willing to abandon if I must.

Hmmm...

An admirable stance. If your home feels worth such a sacrifice, then it must be a good one.

It would be a really boring fairy tale.

[voice] shred_the_sky December 13 2011, 01:08:13 UTC

But if the fairy tale is about your life, wouldn't that be the boring part?

[voice] isntyourfriend December 18 2011, 09:52:47 UTC

That's exactly the problem. Who would want to read something like that?

[voice] shred_the_sky December 18 2011, 10:27:46 UTC

I do not know.

But if your life is too boring to become a fairy tale, wouldn't it be within your abilities to change it?

I don't think this place is meant to be a home. So why bother to remember it if you're not here?

shred_the_sky December 14 2011, 22:32:00 UTC

Because home is where the heart is. And for some of us, heart is wherever we go.

neverplaysfair December 16 2011, 04:55:09 UTC

That's a saying, yes. But despite what people like to say with witty little phrases, not everywhere is suited to being a home.

shred_the_sky December 16 2011, 21:22:47 UTC

. . .

Are you that attached to where you come from?
