8th Rose

Until recently I did not believe I would ever be thankful to have found the community.  This is not to say I ever truly hated it either.  It was just a part of my life, if an occasionally irritating one.

It is true I have made a fair number of friends here and met some intriguing people.  Even found some who shared common interests with me.  However, it was still simply something I could visit in my spare time.

Yesterday changed that.  The community saw fit to return someone who I had long since thought forever lost to me.  Someone who I cared for and still care for deeply.

I believe I shall be one of the few who will ever say these words:

My eternal thanks, DramaDramaDuck.

You're not the only one.

O.O Holy crap you're fast!

[deadly_garden]

You've had a similar experience?

Blue streak~

[maraich]

You can say that. I have an extremely important person because of the community.

[deadly_garden]

If you don't mind my asking, who is this person?

[Locked]

[maraich]

Right here.

[pandorabox]

... I can't say I'd ever give it my eternal thanks, but it's done some good things for me. More bad than good, but eh... it's worth it. Sometimes. I think.

[deadly_garden]

It returned Kuronue to me. How could I give it anything less?

[Locked]

And I thank you again for helping us, especially so soon after returning from... wherever it was you were. I hope Nakamori-chan wasn't too upset that I pulled you away?

[pandorabox]

Wait until it tries to kill you. Er, if it hasn't already.

[Locked]

She wasn't happy, but she'll be okay. I hope.

[deadly_garden]

So far it hasn't attempted that, unless you count the voice in the sky during the Oregon Trail and the dinosaur viruses.

[Locked]

I'll be sure to send her some flowers as an apology. Does she care for orchids?

I owe this community my life. The pros certainly outweigh the cons.

[deadly_garden]

I can safely say the community can throw anything it likes at me now and I won't complain. I can also say I'll likely change my mind about that next virus that affects me. How did the community save your life?

I don't beleive we've met. I'm Minamino Shuichi, a pleasure to meet you.

[touchofgenius.livejournal.com]

I'll probably still complain about the viruses, but it's a... Loving complaint. I was actually supposed to die in my own world, but an old friend of mine let me stay with him about eleven years in the future to avoid my own death.

It is, indeed. I'm Dr. William Birkin. Most people just call me by my last name, to be honest.

[deadly_garden]

You're not concerned at all about the possible time discrepancies your living in the future could cause?

Birkin-sensei then.

This shows that DDD isn't always so bad after all! Glad, you were able to find an old friend! I never did get to say it was nice working with you, despite the circumstances!

[deadly_garden]

When it isn't throwing me into covered wagons or onto dinosaur infested islands, of course.

It was a pleasure to work with you as well, Langly-san. Though it was somewhat disheartening to realize I was one of the few calm members of our impromptu group.

[hippie-hacker.livejournal.com]

Yes, that is a bit embarrassing. We got very lucky...

[deadly_garden]

Well, not everyone can react calmly to being suddenly placed in a theme park such as that, I suppose. And I have to agree that we did, even with the bickering.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

That's good Shuichi.

[deadly_garden]

It's better than good, Hakuba-san. It's likely the best thing to happen to me in years.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

I'm happy for you, really. And old friend come back?

[deadly_garden]

Yes, came back from what I'd long believed to be the dead.

Gettin' all misty on me, 'rama-ai? [sleepy bat is sleepy and just woke up; he peers into the book, rumpled and yawning]

[Voice]

[deadly_garden]

[Laughs] A little, it would seem. Good morning, Kuro-ai.

[Voice]

[cioara-bata.livejournal.com]

Mornin'... evenin', more like. Time 'sit?

[Voice]

[deadly_garden]

Half past ten, I would guess. You're up early; I didn't expect you until at least midnight.
