RL with Ange

[tenminutes]

[ As soon as Ange had been able to get a worldhop, Yuri had prepared for her. Her discussion with Battler... hadn't really started or ended well, so she was definitely more down than she should've been for Ange coming over, but she wasn't going to bring that up if she could avoid it. Somehow she had her doubts that Ange was just going to let it go, but..

She would still try to smile. That was what made someone human, right? The ability to keep smiling, even after tons of bad things had happened. Yuri wasn't going to let it get to her. Not if she could help it. Ange just got back from the dead and was, somehow, alive. She didn't need to deal with Yuri's problems on top of that.

Of course, the waiting game was another thing that involved gratuitous interest in her laptop. Tetris was, after all, the most fun one could have without internet access (beside the community, of course) while looking like they were actually working on something intense. ]

Moes are the bestest.

It's not like I picked them or anything!

[ Yuri eyes her for a moment, then reaches over and pulls lightly at one of her pigtails. Not enough to hurt, just enough to tug. ]

You're not doing that anymore right?

YOU JUST HAD TO SAY IT WITH THAT ICON..

[denies]

[ It causes her to glance over to Yuri - first a bit surprised, but.. then slowly a small smile cracks onto her face. ]

... No, I don't do that anymore. [ She barely surpresses the urge to say 'onee-chan' since she knows Yuri won't appreciate the joke half as much as she does.. ]

It's strange, but when I sacrificed myself for Battler onii-chan I was actually.. more scared. Even though I've always wanted to die before, I suddenly had things I didn't want to lose.. like this. [ Their friendship, for example. Her chance at happiness in general. ]

IT WAS THE ONLY ICON APPROPRIATE TO SAY IT WITH.

[tenminutes]

It's easier to accept being alone when you've never had anything to compare it too. When you've got people that you like and who like you back, it gets really hard to let go.

IT'S TRUE, SOB.. ;; love these moes..

[denies]

That's right. I didn't even really know what it was like to be happy before I joined Battler onii-chan in the game and discovered the community and all, but.. if I have to be honest, the time I spent here was the most fun I've ever had since my family died all those years ago.

[ she's just being so dere dere over here for once.. ]

[tenminutes]

[ She's been dere dere since she got back from the dead. ]

Well, it'll keep being that way. Even if you lose access to it, it seems like it comes back for a lot of people or you'll lose your memory of it, so no matter what I need you to promise that you'll remember that happy feeling okay? If you don't remember anything else, remember that feeling and you'd damn well better hold onto it. You're not allowed to quit again or I'll find a way to get to your world and time and give you a few good punches.

[denies]

[ NOT AROUND EVERYONE.. just around her big bro and sis and friends, okay.. ]

Ah, I wouldn't want to get your wrath upon me, so I guess I better do as you say in that case.

[tenminutes]

Exactly. It'd count as haunting if I had to do that.

[denies]

[ a sound that's almost close to a chuckle. ]

You're much better than just a ghost.

[tenminutes]

Technically I'm a ghost whenever I worldhop, aren't I?

[denies]

You're walking around just like the rest of us, right? You can be touched, you can't walk through walls, practically you're the same as all of us.

... I mean, if the fact that you died is going to make you a ghost, I could join the club.

[tenminutes]

Presently dead though. You're alive. I could fall off of a building in another world and still get back up in about fifteen minutes. Trust me, already have experience with that one.

[ Off the chapel in Umineko land even. Buttler got all mad. ]

[denies]

[ ... Yuri, why.. ]

I fell off a building and got back up too. [ SEE, YOUR POINT IS INVALID, and that was even a freaking huge skyscraper. :| she's saying this somewhat deadpan casually though.. ]

[tenminutes]

[ it wasn't on purpose. ]

Did you actually get hurt though? Or did you have to spend a while in a hospital? [ She doubts the first one. A lot. ]

[denies]

[ still, don't go around getting yourself hurt, people will worry!! ]

Not at all. At most the impact hurt just a little, but then I just got up and walked it off again. ... The second time was pretty much the same, even if that was from a shorter height.

[tenminutes]

I broke my back and bled all over the place for a few minutes. Big different there.

[ Shush she can handle the pain no worries. ]

[denies]

Don't go doing that again if you don't know what you're doing. I don't care if you're dead or not, I just.. [ g-geez, dere.. ] .. don't want to see you die either way.

[tenminutes]

I knew what I was doing. It's not my fault that it's raining all the time where Battler is.

[denies]

Battler-- w-wait, when you fell.. that was in our world?!

[tenminutes]

I was visiting. It was a while ago.

[denies]

I'll be making sure to keep my eye on you whenever I'm around you now, I hope you do realise that.

[ ange can be the onee-chan too..!! 8| ]

[tenminutes]

It's not like I'll listen.

[ Shrug. Battler tried to stop her too. It was kind of like one of those things where he even got mad at grabbed her and she.. still did it anyway. 8|; ]

[denies]

[ You're horrible, Yuri, just let people help if they're worried about you.. ]

I'll jump after you. [ difficult to tell if it's meant seriously or not, but it probably is? ]

[tenminutes]

Why the hell would you do that? It's not like I jumped off, I fell. On accident.

[denies]

Then at least try to be a little more careful. How could you just fall off a height like that?

[tenminutes]

I was climbing the chapel while it was raining and I was being distracted by a certain moron.
