[Hymn #33] ~Misterioso~

[nightcrossed]

[Private; hackable to friends (if you've interacted with her at least 3-5 times I'd say)]

Mystearica Aura Fende. That's what Misa-Misa said my name was, at least. It seems like it could be correct, judging it against my brother's name. But it makes me wonder if there's a reason besides convenience's sake that I remembered myself simply as "Tear".
I suppose shorter's just easier...

I can't say that I thoroughly understand her abilities, but they do seem useful enough, especially if you worked alongside healers or medics. The more I think about it, though, there really does seem to be a pattern. A lot of the people I've met seem to either have unique abilities, were important where they came from, or both. Perhaps there's a purpose for gathering people with a wide variety of specialties? Well, it's not like anyone can give me an answer. Moving on...

Speaking of people I've met, a lot of those I was introduced to when I first got here have since disappeared. Some people seem worried about that, as if this place is dying, or rather, that it'll "never be born". I don't think this place is dying so much as changing, but I dislike that aspect of it all the same. Disappearing. What happens to a person who disappears... do they appear elsewhere at the same rate and merely get transferred to another place, or is there actually a moment when they no longer exist?

Right.
Other than all that, I'm seriously thinking that this might be an ideal time for me to find a pet. ...I'm really sorry about earlier...!

Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't think I'm allergic to any animals, but it can't be one that would knock over or try to ingest plants now that I've finally succeeded in getting them to bloom properly.

Excuse me for being a bit skeptical, but I only just met her, and I've never heard of abilities like that before... Well, you know.

In short: I don't have any proof that she's right or wrong about it.

[apurposetolive.livejournal.com]

Well, hey -- she was right about my name. I don't see why she'd suddenly fail to get yours.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

You're only a single example, Luke, out of all the people here. I'll give her the benefit of a doubt, though. Since I get the feeling she's a lot more intelligent than she lets on...

It's not like it really matters what my name is anyway. I have other things I'm more concerned about than that at the moment.

[apurposetolive.livejournal.com]

I didn't realize getting a pet was that big a deal.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

That wasn't what I was referring to!

[apurposetolive.livejournal.com]

Which is why you should lighten up. Dwelling on it isn't going to do anything as long as you're stuck here.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

[Teasing Tear this way cannot be very smart, Luke, but if you're not picky about the results, you're making some sort of progress. We just can't guarantee that she won't beat you up first...]

[She's probably facepalming right now.]

....

I may not be able to do anything about it right now, but at least I can make sure I'm prepared to face whatever might be waiting for me.

Why do I get the feeling he's not going to leave me alone about this?

Are you finished kidding around with me yet?

[apurposetolive.livejournal.com]

Well, don't wear yourself out over it. Remember what I said before? Life's too short to worry 24/7.

1/2

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

...Thanks.

I know it is. I haven't forgotten what you said.

2/2 [Not exactly sure if this is revenge or her being friendly.]

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

So what are you planning on cooking for the competition?

I saw your name on the manager's list, so there's no point in you trying to deny it.

[apurposetolive.livejournal.com]

Er, well, uh...It's...a secret?

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

In other words you don't know.

[apurposetolive.livejournal.com]

I didn't say that!

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

No, but wouldn't you have said if you had plans for it already?

[apurposetolive.livejournal.com]

What, can't a guy have a secret or two?

[Luke, you only get ONE secret in your canon. XD]

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

I suppose a person should be allowed a secret or two.




...Is one of them that you can't cook?

[apurposetolive.livejournal.com]

H-HEY! Where did that come from?!

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

[Tear's amused, not that you would know it.]

It was only a question, Luke.

I didn't really think you'd enter a cooking contest without knowing how to. That would be foolish.

[apurposetolive.livejournal.com]

Yeah, come on, Tear, have some faith in me! Of course I know how to cook!

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

What...? What does faith have to do with anything?

It doesn't make any difference to me if you can cook or not, providing I don't have to eat it. I'm not the judge, after all.

[apurposetolive.livejournal.com]

...That's not the point.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

Right...
So then what was your point? I seem to have missed it.

[apurposetolive.livejournal.com]

That I deserve more credit.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

More credit from me or in general?

[apurposetolive.livejournal.com]

Sigh...

Look, did you really think I was gonna enter a cooking contest if I didn't know how to cook?
