WEEK 14 - I have been — and always shall be — your friend.

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (14)

monday (41) survivors You stand with your friends, your family, and your enemies, shoulder to shoulder. The deceased and the living are the same, now, and you've been reunited with the person trapped on the opposite ship. You have four choices. Four options laid before you - five, if you're smart about it. You have the option of staying on the Nuwa, a ship pre-programmed to land somewhere safe, soon, and then it's your's for the taking. You have the option of entering the Nuwa's virtual reality and crafting your own perfect world, but knowing it was a perfect world created by your own hand. Your third option is one of the Cradles, a machine created to bring you bliss, and permit you the dream you've always wanted, without the knowledge it's a virtual reality. Your fourth option lays in front of you, on the bridge of the Nuwa, and it's a tear in the fabric of reality, but you can see your home waiting for you. It looks idyllic, perfect, just the way you'd want it to be. Your fifth option lies in another tear - the tear of a friend. Perhaps their heart is kind enough to take in a stray. The choice is your's to make, and whatever you choose, know that, for the first time in fourteen weeks, it's your choice. taken list profiles private conversations setting rulebook ENTER COMMAND_

{ Well, it's inevitable he'll come by here. }

...So, this is farewell, isn't it?

[tacklefordwhimsy]

Not really. It could be possible there could be a way to stay in contact, right? Liz said maybe there could be.

[Shelley is so refusing to say goodbye]

[thanatosincarnate]

Hmph, then if she says so, we'll see.

{ ... }

If not, then... is there something you want to say?

{ HE'S STILL BAD AT THIS, SORRY. }

[tacklefordwhimsy]

...actually, yes.

[And for a moment it again feels like she's just before her execution, not being able to do more than apologize. She wants to say sorry again, but after all these weeks, and having said it before...would it really matter?]

I'm still sorry for what I did. [That came out a bit easier than she thought she would] And I also wanted to thank you for all your help, everything you did while we were in the other side, for coming to my cradle to get me out of it! What I mean to say is that I--yes...

...thank you. For not giving up on me despite what I did, or at least thank you for doing what you considered was necessary. You were a big help!

[Shelley is the type to give hugs during farewells and what not, but damn Arumat doesn't seem like the type, so she's definitely holding back]

[thanatosincarnate]

{ Of all of the things Arumat was expecting... it was not that. Yet, it was true. He never gives up on people he's made a connection with (unless they really pissed him off or something else), even if he wants to. He kind of doesn't understand it himself, but it's just how he is. }

Hmph. I hardly need to be thanked for doing what was necessary. Leaving you behind in that world for one thing would be inconvenient. That is all.

{ He'll pause though, since it is a fare well here... }

...Your welcome anyway, Shelley. In addition, meeting you wasn't something I'd regret.
