I'm sick of trying to feel better about everything and being kind and showing everyone oh look moonblessed are harmless teehee let's just

be angry

anon is fine

come tell me who or what makes you angry, get it out there

[ Emerald is not anon, but she doesn't mind if any characters are. Unless otherwise stated, please assume she is not responding anonymously. She doesn't know how to cope with feelings of loss, so this is the best and most productive thing she could think of to try to get it out without wanting to punch everyone she speaks to in the face like she has for the past couple of weeks. So please, vent with her and be angry. ]

I've met several other people from Remnant. I don't suppose you know them?

Did Empatheias have similar problems to Lunatia?

[unhappy]

probably vaguely. which ones do you know?

sort of! it was super steam-punky but the whole 'world got destroyed, come help us save it, kidnapees' is the same. apathy wrecked their world and they needed people who still felt things to come fix it and save their gods and everything. feel strong emotions, fill up a crystal with emotion magic or make chroma, your chromameter goes up.

never experienced a boy band attack there tho

[bratworth]

( Truth be told, that's a more positive response than he was expecting. )

Weiss and Lie Ren.

I suppose I can't fault a world for adhering to an aesthetic.

( As it turns out, sarcasm doesn't translate well over text. )

It almost makes me wonder how many of these worlds are out there, drawing people in from across the multiverse.

Were there boy bands there at all?

[unhappy]

oh, they're fine.

if you can't i can. though i'm judging this place more than verens.

probably a lot. i've heard about a few others from different people too.

not that i had to suffer through

[bratworth]

Are there others who are not so fine?

What other worlds have you heard about?

[unhappy]

Mercury's the only one I'm not on the opposite end of a war from, so varying degrees of fine.

I didn't really ask for details. I was more focused on figuring out how to pick which one you wanted to go back to.

[bratworth]

Oh.

( Perhaps he shouldn't be so nosy, but he can't quite help himself. )

Did that have something to do with those 'Grimm' creatures?

Would you choose to return to a different world if you could?

[unhappy]

Nah. I mean, not really. Grimm infested the whole world it's hard for them not to be involved but people are always going to be bigger monsters than they are.

Yeah. There's a version of Japan I want to get to.

[bratworth]

That is true.

( He doesn't really know enough about the situation in Remnant to further this thread of conversation, so he turns his attention to the second one: )

Which version of Japan in particular?

[unhappy]

The one with the weird basketball players that are way too intense about anything. That's where Seijuro and Chihiro are from.
Seijuro was sent home, so it may be the only way I'll see him again.

[bratworth]

I see. He was important to you, this Seijuro?

[unhappy]

I love him. He is important to me.

[bratworth]

( Oh. Well, then. He can't claim to know how that feels like, but he can at least try to find the right words to say in this situation. )

I hope you see him again one day.

( He's surprised to realize that he means it. )

[unhappy]

My whole life has taught me hope isn't worth much.
(getting pissed with other people doesn't seem to be any more helpful though)

[bratworth]

That's fair.

If there were some way to work towards seeing him again, I would encourage you to pursue it whole-heartedly instead.

I wish we knew more about the mechanisms that brought us here.

[unhappy]

We traveled to this world, there has to be someway to travel to other ones.
The memory problem is another issue though...

[bratworth]

What memory issue?

[unhappy]

Idk what the numbers are but it seems like half the time if people do come back, it's without memories outside of their home world.

[bratworth]

Oh. I must admit, I've not had much experience with people leaving and then returning, myself.

Does there appear to be any pattern to the memory loss?

[unhappy]

Not as far as I can tell. Just that it happens on multiple worlds. The only guarantee is home world memories. I'm thinking maybe it's a side-effect of crossing universes, like how you get side-effects from medicine. Some people do, some don't.

[bratworth]

That's certainly one way of looking at it. I will have to keep an eye out in case myself or any associates become affected by such a situation.

I do fear we've wandered quite far off topic. I thank you for your time.
