IC Burninating the countryside

*Close to the edge of the barrier, far from the center of camp, a cornfield has just caught fire. The cause? A certain mopey archangel of fire who is currently hanging out on a nearby tree branch.*

It's possible that you'll see her again, isn't it?

[healthyinstincts]

I don't know. I want to hope that... at least Mika can find her again. But I don't know... if I'll be that lucky.

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

Is there a reason you feel that way?

[healthyinstincts]

... Mika knows what he wants to do if he ever gets out of Camp. I don't.

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

I see. That would make things more difficult.

[healthyinstincts]

I'm afraid to make any decision like that... since there's no guarantee I'll even get what I want.

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

Uncertainty doesn't mean you shouldn't try to plan for what you want. If you have a plan and take action, there is at least a chance you'll succeed. If you do nothing then your options are truly limited.

[healthyinstincts]

... I don't want to get my hopes up. And even if I did... I still don't know what I would do.

*touches his hair*

I used to feel the same, though our vacation time has given me reason to re-evaluate my options.

[healthyinstincts]

[leans into that a little]

Would you want to go to Raikou's world, then?

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

I think so. I found it pleasant, and it's similar to my world in some ways.

[healthyinstincts]

... I'm wondering if I'd like it too.

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

You seemed to enjoy the time you spent there.

[healthyinstincts]

Yeah...

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

Though you also seemed somewhat overwhelmed at times, but that's to be expected when visiting a new environment.

[healthyinstincts]

... I just...

*strokes his hair*

What?

[healthyinstincts]

[bows his head and wraps an arm around himself]

I don't want people to forget me. What if... I chose to live somewhere else after Camp-- if I'm even allowed that option-- and I get there, and... no one knows me?

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

If you remember, there's a chance they would, as well. But as a precaution you could bring proof; pictures or a token that means something to them.

[healthyinstincts]

Even if I did... what would it change?

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

I don't know, but if it were me, I would want to know if there was a significant part of my life I didn't remember. Memories are important.

[healthyinstincts]

...

[takes a long drag on his cigarette]

[necessaryevil.livejournal.com]

But we do know it's possible to remember, so you shouldn't automatically assume no one will.

[sighs and sinks to the ground, leaning against the tree]

I don't have it in me to be optimistic about it.

*watches him a moment before sitting next to him*

I don't think in terms of optimism, myself.
