Where there's smoke...

[littleguardian.livejournal.com]

I can't believe it... I finally got out of there! How long can those stupid tunnels be, anyway!? I must've been stuck in there for days! It was sooo scary.

Ack!! Is that smoke coming from my place!? That means... either the hut's on fire, or...

...or Luke is cooking.

...

...Maybe I should stay lost for another day...

((IC excuse for hiatus: Anise fell down a hole and got stuck in some underground caves :|b. also yaaay returning to find surpraiz abyss cast! Of course, she has no clue they're there and is jumping to the most logical (and terrifying) conclusion.))

*a smile*

Anise, this might seem rather strange, but... what were you doing before you arrived here?

[littleguardian.livejournal.com]

Um... We were in Grand Chokmah, and Largo had just told us where and when Arietta wanted our duel to be... so, we were about to head there.

[singahymnforyou.livejournal.com]

I see.

[littleguardian.livejournal.com]

What about you, Tear?

[singahymnforyou.livejournal.com]

O-Oh, nothing really.

[littleguardian.livejournal.com]

???

So... are you from before or after that?

[singahymnforyou.livejournal.com]

After.

[littleguardian.livejournal.com]

How long after?

[singahymnforyou.livejournal.com]

A-awhile...

[littleguardian.livejournal.com]

...

Hey, how come you're being so vague?

[singahymnforyou.livejournal.com]

Because... I'm not sure what I should tell all of you. You might be better off not knowing...

private time ;o

[littleguardian.livejournal.com]

A-about the future? I... guess I see how that would be tricky...

Even after spending the better part of a year here, none of us could ever decide on what to say to Luke about you-know-what.

Good idea :|b Private time is go

[singahymnforyou.livejournal.com]

That would be difficult, wouldn't it? I guess I'm in a similar situation myself now.

[littleguardian.livejournal.com]

Ohh... I'm really curious about the future, but... I guess knowing it really could screw it up in the end.

[singahymnforyou.livejournal.com]

It could potentially, and... n-nevermind. Just trust me, Anise.

[littleguardian.livejournal.com]

Nn... okay.

What about everyone else, though? Do you know how much they know?

[singahymnforyou.livejournal.com]

Well, I still have to talk to Guy and the Colonel to find out what they know. Natalia thought I was still with Luke in the Qliphoth, and Luke... Well, you know about Luke.

[littleguardian.livejournal.com]

So Natalia's behind, too...

All this messed-up-time stuff is way too complicated!

[singahymnforyou.livejournal.com]

I have to agree. It's making a difficult situation even more difficult.

[littleguardian.livejournal.com]

I've been keeping quiet about all the big stuff, but... I wonder if it's really okay to keep doing that...

[singahymnforyou.livejournal.com]

I think that's been very wise of you. I'm not sure that telling the others... especially Luke, about things that happen in their future would be a good idea.

[littleguardian.livejournal.com]

Luke's the one I'm worried about. Even after all this time, he still totally idolizes the Commandant.

[singahymnforyou.livejournal.com]

Akzeriuth....

Perhaps if we told him we could stop the destruction of Akzeriuth, but... what would happen then? Would a Luke who didn't go through that still do the things he's done and will do? Could we afford to take that risk?

That's what we have to decide.

[littleguardian.livejournal.com]

Nnn... But it's the only chance we'll ever have to save all those people...

But we really don't know what'll happen. I... guess we should talk it over with the others.

[singahymnforyou.livejournal.com]

I know. It's a difficult decision. We should discuss it together.

...Would he even remember if we told him? You said I've been here before, but I don't remember at all.
