2nd Idea [Accidental Visual]

[notgivinguponyou]

[With everything settling back down again, it should be the best time to relax. But it apparently was the opposite for Tadashi, who could be seen pacing around his room at the commune. His tail flicked with every turn, and the expression on his face was more agitated and troubled than normal for those who had seen him before.

Another passing turn had him pausing, finally noticing the scroll was open. And for a moment he almost seemed to glare at it, his hardened expression persisting as he debated whether to simply roll it up.

But it only lasted a moment before his expression softened, and he managed a small, if somewhat weary smile.]

Anyone feel like grabbing a drink?

...Or taking a walk. Or...something.

[It just seemed like he could use the company.]

[He chuckles softly.] Yeah, I know...and truth is, I kinda want to be, but... Can't seem to get there.

[ceasetoexist]

Don't worry, you'll get there. Don't worry about how pissed you get cause gotta be honest.

Burning to death sucks.

[Action]

[notgivinguponyou]

[That earned a curious look, but despite how much he wanted to ask he had a feeling that it probably wouldn't have been a good idea.] I'll take your word for it...

[Action]

[ceasetoexist]

Yeah, you should. I'm a pretty smart guy and I know a lot of stuff.

[He brushes off his suit a bit, somehow making even that at least a little obnoxious.]

...Chances are you might get jumped to another place after this. Or even have a choice of where you want to go when all this is over. So hey.

Everything might not be a loss, is all I'm saying.

[Action]

[notgivinguponyou]

Yeah...you definitely have the experience. [Though given how much hardship he had to have gone through to get this kind of experience at his age says a lot.] ...That's good to know, I guess. I suppose ending up somewhere else is better than...not being anywhere at all.

[Action]

[ceasetoexist]

Yeah, I know. I'm pretty much a Renaissance man, if I say so myself.

[And he's pretty much the only person who would call himself that.]

...You got a chance of where to go, though...you even know where you'd head?

[Action]

[notgivinguponyou]

[He was quiet for a long moment, considering the question. If he had a choice...where would he go?] I... [He laughs.] I don't even know. Just learning about the possibilities of different worlds...I can't even imagine what else exists out there... [He rubs a hand over his face.] It might sound...weird, all things considered, but...I think I actually might wanna see my parents. They, uh...They passed on, way before I did... [Because if he had the chance...and with no reason to go back home...then why not?]

[Action]

[ceasetoexist]

....They were good parents, huh?

[He just looks away for a moment, and then back to Tadashi.]

...I guess I can't blame you for that. Hey, if I could, I would just go home. Don't fully...you know. Get parents. But I guess I can kind of get the feeling.

[Action]

[notgivinguponyou]

Yeah...they were pretty good. And it's been a...pretty long time.

It'd be nice to see them again.

[Action]

[ceasetoexist]

Considering all the worlds out there, and if we get a choice? Not like it's impossible.

[...He isn't good at this. He doesn't know why he's even bothering to try.]

...I know this seems like it really sucks right now. But sometimes even a situation this crappy can still have a kind of decent ending.

[Action]

[notgivinguponyou]

[Whether Pokey's good at it or not, it at least seems to be helping a bit.] Yeah...I guess if I'm going to be...well...getting a chance to see my parents again wouldn't be too bad.
