[is standing with his back up against a building, looking out across the expanse of the streets]They say that change comes to all things - sometimes, it just takes a long time. Often, we don’t realize that everything is always in motion around us. Despite the sense of belonging that comes with the familiarity of the surroundings that one is used

[is silent for a while, eyes wide with shock. Who would've guessed? She manages to speak after a while, though.]

...Wasn't expectin' you to turn up.

[toanuprising]

[turns just a bit, watching her for a few moments before speaking with just a hint of a smile]

I have a habit of turning up where I'm least expected.

[tickingshadows]

That's - true. Unfortunately. [She pauses for a moment, thinking over what to say next.] Uh, this is Template City, by the way. Whichever world you come from, this isn't it, and getting out is a lot more difficult than getting in.

[toanuprising]

So that's the name of this world; of this city. Thank you.

I had figured that it was probably easier to somehow end up here than it will be to find one's way out. Nothing is ever as it truly seems to be, after all.

[tickinglight]

That's what this place is for me, too. A second chance, I mean. Not a whole lot of people really like it, but I can honestly say it's been the best time of my... er, life.

Though that's a pretty loosely used term in my case, I guess. Welcome to Template, mister.

[toanuprising]

It's all a matter of how one chooses to perceive it. If you go into something believing that you won't like it, then it's hard to open up to the possiblity that something really isn't so bad, after all.

Thank you.

[tickinglight]

I didn't really have any feelings towards it. I guess you could say I lived a pretty dull life. But then I got to meet someone I might not have met otherwise, and things took a turn for the better. So even if this place does strange things, as long as I'm here, I'll put up with that if it means I can keep enjoying this "life".

Um, did anyone tell you anything about it yet? There're some things you might want to know, since you'll probably be here a while.

[toanuprising]

One's measure of their own life is usually a lot harsher than how others pereceive them. Thankfully, there are always those out there who touch us so and help us realize that things really aren't that bad after all.

Other than the city's name, no. I have yet to find out more about this place.

... [Though he says nothing, Endrance is giving you a look that indicated how pleased he is to see you. Which is... not very pleased- not trusting, anyways.]

[toanuprising]

[such a loving look~/ though, really doesn't seem all that surprised]

So you are here as well. How nice it is to see you again.

[temptingrose]

Again... Mm, so you remember the last time... [Look = going nowhere and we've had an Ovan before, so pardon the strange comment XD]

[toanuprising]

[remains silent for just a few moments]

It seems you have me at a rare disadvantage. I'm afraid you're being a bit more mysterious than I usually am with that remark.

[righthereskeith]

[o_o wtf ovan?! just sorta standing there, trying to figure out if Ovan is real]

[toanuprising]

[surprise~]

Is that any way to say 'hello'?

[righthereskeith]

[fgzjkfngjkzf]

O-ovan! [makes a fist. bah] What the hell are you doin' here?

[toanuprising]

It would seem that I am currently talking to you, Haseo. [knows that is not the answer he was looking for, but at least it's an answer]

[discardedwish]

[sorry missed all that you were saying and hopping to hug you around the shoulders -- hangs as well, Ovan's almost a good foot taller]

Corbenik. ♥!

[toanuprising]

[has to admit that he is rather surprised at the fact that he suddenly has someone hanging off of him. carefully supports him enough in an attempt to help him off]

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but you're only partly correct. I'm actually Ovan.

[discardedwish]

[and now he's down o-o;]

Partly correct? Ovan? ... Ovan. [pause - think] That does not go into Corbenik well even as a nickname. And Corbenik's nickname is Corby. [;;!]

[toanuprising]

You see, in my world, I'm an epitaph user and Corbenik is my avatar.
