What is even the point of becoming close to anyone here, if they can all just leave as quickly as they came?

Oh, sure, let's all play our little games and finish our silly little quests and feel this sense of camaraderie working towards a goal we all damn well know is unaccomplishable. And along the way, we can learn the magic of friendship only to have it taken away by the Rifts without any further explanation.

It would be nicer to believe we were being held to the whims of some vengeful god instead of the unfeeling randomness of the Rifts and their "unknowable" magic.

Then, at least, there would be someone to curse for the cruelty of it.

Whoa, hold on buddy... What happened? One of us was taken away by the rifts? Gone?

... You need a drink?

[subigito]

Either that or he left all his belongings behind and decided to adventure without them.

I can't consume alcohol.

[activatingcombatmode]

That's rough... I didn't know something like that could even happen, man. I'm sorry.

You seriously can't drink?

[subigito]

I suppose it should have been obvious. If we can all be drawn here, it stands to reason we can all be sent home. But that doesn't make the randomness of it any easier.

Unfortunately not. Think of it like an allergy. It is rather unfortunate. I used to be partial to expensive liquor and now I have to pine for it at a distance.

[activatingcombatmode]

Yeah, I don't think so either. The fact that anyone I know can just vanish with a puff of smoke back into the rifts is kind of annoying. Now I've got to be worried about that shit too.

Well, the liquor part is okay. If you need someone to talk to or just butt heads with, just shout.

[subigito]

It is worrying. I'm glad you agree.

And I appreciate the offer. This is not my usual way of dealing with things, but it hasn't been all bad.

[activatingcombatmode]

Sure does put a lot of questions back in my head. I wonder what would happen if someone who can't go back, goes back...

[tf does that mean. Well, Zack's dying and/or dead in his world sooooo- What happens to him when he goes back?

Ugh. His head hurts.]

Hey, if shouting into the void about how pissed you are is the way to go right now, I'm all for it.

[subigito]

Like if you're dead?

[ it seems the obvious question to him, but maybe that's because he's also dead. He's just, you know, been dead for 200 years. ]

It does seem to be more or less working so far.

[activatingcombatmode]

Yup. Something like that. I was left back home with a bit of a, "to be continued" but with a whole bunch of question marks.

[To be continued...???]
