Falling in and out of cracks, coming and going as they please, they've no sense of order or decency. Can't catalog someone when he's moving. Got to remember that, write it down in my journal and keep it for future reference. Can't hurt. This place was nice and he's happy here but it's not where we belong. We're spare buttons.

Thought I had the monopoly on growing up too fast. Now I know that's not true.

I miss the ocean.

[albatrossish]

Never been to a real ocean. All manufactured. Something for the wealthy. Got used to the recycled air, reminds me of home. But at home everyone thought quieter.

It's hard to get away from anything here. I know these aren't my memories.

[albatrossish]

They echo. In and out, up and down. Don't know what's real and what's fake. It was that way at home, too, though.

I guess... It's a little better now that Oneechan is here... but Souichirou-sama...

[secondflame.livejournal.com]

i'm sorry, river.

[flameregalia]

Is she all right? I suppose I haven't been over in a while.

[secondflame.livejournal.com]

i think she's feeling a little cabin fever.

[flameregalia]

Aren't we all. Maybe a run would cheer her up? Or a dance.

[secondflame.livejournal.com]

i should probably ask her out for that.

[albatrossish]

Got to dance before you can run!

[flameregalia]

And while we're on the topic, how are you?

[secondflame.livejournal.com]

uh.

i'm training, what the hell else would i be doing?

[flameregalia]

I said 'how', not 'what', Kazu. But I'm glad to hear it. I know things must seem difficult without Crow around.

[secondflame.livejournal.com]

yeah, i got ahead of myself! it's not like it matters.

and ... running the store and helping people. i've been busy.

[flameregalia]

People haven't been taken advantage of the place, have they? I wasn't fond of the other twos, but I had nothing against Andrew. It would be a shame if their legacy was looted.

[secondflame.livejournal.com]

there was some stuff taken before i got the store up and running again, but it wasn't much.

[albatrossish]

Apology not accepted; nothing to trade for. I'll take it next time you're stupid.

[secondflame.livejournal.com]

huh?

... yeah. all right.

[albatrossish]

Have a good run.

[secondflame.livejournal.com]

you should come with me next time.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

I'd imagine "growing up too fast" describes the majority here. Staple of storytelling.

[albatrossish]

Archetypes.

[misskittyclaws.livejournal.com]

I like to think I broke the mold.

But it does make you wonder just how many here have strikingly similar origins despite coming from different worlds.
