[ we are outside today, and shoma's at the edge of one of the hiking trails. he seems a little wary, sudden cat ears flickering nervously but he looks up at dion curiously. ]
Well...it's not the park, but this doesn't look too bad? At least there's a trail to follow.
Probably. [ he will just say it. ] After we started hearing about this place and the connection with lotuses, I did some reading in the library. There's a whole myth about people who lived on an island that consumed the lotus plant and it made them blissfully unaware of their surroundings or that anything was wrong. With the mist covering everything...it probably acts similarly.
...if we didn't know any better, this would look perfect. But it's also all the more reason to search through it.
It's...been a running theme lately, I think. [ follows along, taking a few quick strides to catch up but easily walking beside him. ] The idea of forgetting pain and just being happy. It's a tempting offer after everything we've been through here and in our own lives.
[ and yet it's foolish to do so. ]
As long as we stick together at least, we can't get that distracted.
[ NOT THE FLESH. but he does kind of wrinkle his nose because yeah...yeah. this place is probably a lie. let him live in ignorance for a little longer. ]
I know you're right, but...[ ugh. ] It wouldn't be a bad idea if we had time to manage it. There has to be a planet out there that isn't under the influence and we could stay for even a weekend. Galaxies are huge.
[ they can both live in ignorance and just enjoy this beautiful trail ]
Indeed, I actually find the idea of exploring new worlds rather interesting when voluntary. I still marvel remembering those electronic steeds from Anoria.
Exactly. It's...weird to think about it, but if it weren't for everything else happening this tour would be something I'd actually like a lot. The idea of getting to see new places and learn about new technologies and maybe helping people...it isn't bad. [ there's a slight grin. ] I miss the E.L.C. And a lot of people weren't a huge fan of Volk but they had a really cool workshop and all kinds of tools I've never seen before. And I don't know anyone who didn't like Rodin. It's one of those things where the possibilities are endless.
[ yeah, sometimes everything about this game would be your jam if it weren't for the parasite and murder. ]
We do, yeah. Space travel's been a thing for us for a while, but nothing like this. Who knows when that might happen? [ but he seems thoughtful about this, like he's debating if it's a possibility. ] I wouldn't call it impossible.
[ it is w7 and effects are on, so he hears that and suddenly a dog tail sprouts and wags, pleased. ]
I know a few of us have been talking about finding a way to see each other again when we all leave. And...I really, really want that to be a thing. There's so many of you I don't want to lose touch with just because this is over.

I wonder if that is what makes this planet so effective. It is easy to be drawn into such a picturesque scene...

I wonder if we should seek out a genuinely pleasant planet for rest before returning back to our lives.

You come from a technologically advanced world, do you not? What are the chances you might come by space travel in the near future?
[ fond feelings ]
I would be glad to see you again as well.
