He's alive.

It shouldn't be possible, but...

...

Just what is this world, really?

That's a question I would love to have answered.

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

...

A Beastman?

[queenbomba.livejournal.com]

Beastman? How much catnip have you been sniffing. I'm a Jellicle cat.

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

But you look-

...

Sorry. Thought you might've been from my world for a second.

[queenbomba.livejournal.com]

Well, obviously I'm not. I'm much more dignified than any...beastman.

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's really fair to judge those you don't know much about. I couldn't say one way or another whether you'd be more 'dignified' than a Beastman.

There are ones out there that were violent or vengeful, sure, but as Supreme Commander I've seen plenty that want for peace and quiet just as much as humans.

[legendarytamer.livejournal.com]

I would have said the same thing about me. :)

Have you gotten the 'alternate dimension' explanation yet?

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've gotten that much.

People just don't usually end up appearing alive after they're dead and buried. Especially when you're the one who buried him.

[legendarytamer.livejournal.com]

Okay, that is weird.

I wonder if--

Nah, the universe wouldn't be that kind to me.

Sorry, I'll stop talking to myself on your journal now.

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

It's okay, don't worry about it.

I'm still kind of reeling over it, myself.

...I just need to get out there and find him, to confirm it with my own eyes.

[legendarytamer.livejournal.com]

Good luck with that, man.

Gah sorry, I'm Ryo. Note to self: Introduce yourself when barging into other people's journals!

DEATH IS IRRELEVANT.

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

...death is the end of one's life. Life is what everyone fights to maintain.

At the same time, it's something that happens to everyone. It's a circle of life everyone has to accept one day.

Though you can't let the loss of someone weigh you down... I'd say it's perfectly relevant.

[capslockninja.livejournal.com]

LIFE IS ALSO IRRELEVANT.

... WE WILL ALL DIE ONCE THE GAME ENDS.

EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENTS ARE UNNEEDED, THEY ARE FOR THE WEAK. ALLOWING OTHERS TO HAVE A HOLD ON YOU IS POINTLESS.

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

My strength lies just as much in my comrades as it does my own power, thanks. Without Bro, Yoko, Nia, Kittan, and all the others, we never would have succeeded and won in our world.

It's not about allowing others to have a "hold" on you, it's about believing in your own power and using the combined force of all that power to reach one common goal.

Everyone dies, but what matters is what you do before then.

...

What 'game?'

[capslockninja.livejournal.com]

IRRELEVANT, EMOTIONS LEAD TO BETRAYAL.

YOU WILL KNOW WHEN THE GAME ENDS, HUMAN.

[twilightxkey.livejournal.com]

He's not the first to come here who shouldn't be "alive."

I've pretty much just accepted it now though.

[legendarytamer.livejournal.com]

Oh, you too? :)

[twilightxkey.livejournal.com]

Yeah...remember we sort of both mentioned having stories that were way too long to tell.

That is a big part of mine...

[legendarytamer.livejournal.com]

Ah yup. It's more of an often-missed footnote in mine -.-

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

...do you mean someone you know, or... uh, yourself?

[twilightxkey.livejournal.com]

Someone I know...although I suppose in a sense I could count myself...it's all...really complicated >.>;

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

...I see.

Well, at least I'm not the only one who's confused.

[isnot-theworst.livejournal.com]

... If you're going to leave and go look for this friend of your, good luck Simon.

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Yoshino.

We might be back, or maybe not. It just depends on what we find out there.

If you all ever need a hand, though, Lagann & I'll come running. Count on it.
