The Ultimate Anti-Climax of Ultimate History?

[insertshortrant.livejournal.com]

[So, all of you islanders have been recovering from the horrors of the Zombie Island Mish-Mash of Nuclear AWESOME, doing your island-y things. That's cool, so has Ed, off being his usual slightly-reclusive self and blowing things up in his Gilligan-lab to pass the time. Life returns to what passes for normal here, right?

...and then there's the note. Of course your first thought is 'Oh God, another event?' as would be the logical train of thought--

Wait a minute. Wedding invitation? Of the island and--WHAT?! And on top of that you're free to leave for home or wherever you like?]

...there's no way. This has to be a trick.



(( MINGLE POST HO!!! Are you skeptical of this ~*gift from the heavens*~ as Edward is? Are you one of the insanely hopeful that shall plan for where you'll go? Need to start making tearful goodbyes to your long-time buddies? Shanghai some fellow islanders to your homeworld for nefarious purposes? Get pissed at being brought here recently just to leave? Flip out and go find some Black Materia to call down Mete--wait.

So yeah. Post, mingle, have fun! And assume this is the day of the note-arrival, obvs. Mods, if this is out of line, feel free to stake me out for the vultures. *A*b ))

[He chuckles at hearing that. Really, now~?]

I wonder why they would want to kill you in the first place. With a personality as charming as yours ...~

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

Psychotic murderers are rather hard to charm.

[tuned-wrong.livejournal.com]

[Oh, Aion thinks they're rather easy once he starts trying seriously.]

And rare to find if you don't go actively looking for them.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

[Well, for him then.]

...I trip over them. At least once a week. [Such a flat look. No, seriously, he wouldn't hate a vacation.]

[tuned-wrong.livejournal.com]

[Sorry, but that's making him laugh. Again. Oh you]

Haha, hearing that makes me want to come over for a while just to watch you dealing with them.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

[Innocent beaming.] Well, I usually only deal with them myself when the shonen tantei is on their own.

[tuned-wrong.livejournal.com]

'Shonen teitei'?

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

They're my friends.

The shonen tantei, the detective boys. Haibara is also a part of them.

[tuned-wrong.livejournal.com]

Aha.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

Usually it's uncle though! Or Sonoko-neechan. And sometimes Agasa.

[tuned-wrong.livejournal.com]

[You have an awful lot of spokesmen, don't you?]

...Sounds like you have a lots of friend to return to. I'm almost envious.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

[Hey, the murders follow me, not them, and some of them I can't stand to be around ALL THE TIME.]

Yeah, I...I do. [Pauses. Huh, he did, didn't he?]

[...kind of more than he ever did as Shinichi. Now that's depressing.]

[tuned-wrong.livejournal.com]

[He notices that.


Have a hair-ruffle.] Take good care of them once you're back.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

[gfjswoirjewijrw]

...I will. [Fixing his hair.] And take care of those people who call you niisan, all right?

...

They're already dead.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

...

I'm sorry.

[tuned-wrong.livejournal.com]

Don't be.

I'm not and they wouldn't be, either. Death is just something that happens.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

It's something that doesn't happen, but that doesn't mean it's not sad.

[tuned-wrong.livejournal.com]

It doesn't. Still, I do not believe that those who are no more would want to see us grieve for them all the time. Take your time, mourn and move on... That's how I see it. I'm not sorry for the time we had together, no matter how the end of it turned out to be. [He smiles.] Saying "sorry" means that you regret something. I don't regret having known them and neither should you for wishing me well.
