[04] [video] a strange turn
[Juudai looks a little flushed, and his voice keeps coming out rough and slightly nasally, as though he's coming down with a sore throat and/or a headcold. He's at the inn while the rain keeps coming down with pounding force outside, battering against the windows, and his Growlithe is trodding merrily around the carpet with an oddly-shaped plush

Room service~!

[He hops up and swings the door open, halfway kicking himself for not recognizing the voice behind it. He smirks that little smirk of his and speaks sarcastically, though the effect is mildly ruined by the scratchy throat.]
...Room service? I don't remember calling for it.

You did telepathically. Good thing I heard you!

--Jeez, careful not to spill it!
[He stares at the bowl for a moment as she shoves it at him, then accepts it and puts it on that one desk in the side of the room that is omnipresent in all hotel rooms.]
...You're just lucky I love food. Otherwise, you'd totally be out of luck!
[Lies. Maybe.]

[She's not actually judging him that much for it. Everybody waxes depressed sometimes. But naturally she has to make SOME snarky comment.]

Not sure what to make of "up", to be honest. I don't usually try to be a person who's always whining and thinking negatively, but... sometimes things just get to you, you know?
This Zero Reverse disaster that Crow told me about is supposedly going to completely change the way things work in the world, or so I gathered. So... I want to do something about it. Problem is, what? Now that I have this warning... I should prevent it from happening. No one should have to die because some scientists didn't know what the hell they were getting themselves into.

And I get ya, I guess. Try not to let it get to you. There's not a whole lot any of us can do while we're here... except try to find the people responsible for bringing us here in the first place.

Yeah... whoever did this isn't getting away with it. This is an interesting experience in its own way, and it kind of made me realize a few things, but I'm not planning on staying here by any means. I have a friend to take back from them.

And... like I said, if that disaster happens while I'm not there, I don't know what I'll do when I get back.

Though... I have someone I have to take back, first of all, before I go home. Unless she's already home, in which case, it's better than having to go out of my way to retrieve her.

...The world changes all the time. People die; friends, family, everyone. It's not something humankind can prevent. Death is not defeat--the people you care for will be with you forever. The fact that they've died doesn't change how you feel about them.
And maybe you've screwed up, I don't know you well enough to say one way or the other. But if you did, then make up for it. Keep moving forward and do all you can to fix the things you've done wrong.

I've never thought about death that seriously before. I just knew it happened, and it sucked, and I resolved not to let it get the best of me. But I wonder if it's closer than I think, now that I've been told of some catastrophe that's going to happen in the future that will probably kill hundreds of people, and probably a lot more.
So I will keep going. Giving up only means there's one outcome, but continuing on means you have options. I learned that already, definitely.

[Otacon listened patiently, adjusting his glasses.] That bad, huh? We're kind of dealing with something like that back home--the whole world's kind of on a downward spiral. But if you know about it beforehand, maybe there's something you can do.

Yeah... I travel the world, and some of the things I see aren't always pleasant. But there is good and bad in the world, always. It needs that balance.
As for the Zero Reverse thing, I plan on finding out more. I'll probably have to really pull some strings and wring some necks to find out about what Crow told me -- he said that there was a science project called Momentum that went wrong and destroyed the whole city of Domino, which is basically where all the weird things happen where I'm from. It's kind of dimensionally unstable, so to speak. So if I can put a stop to that somehow... then, maybe...
