Yes. Hello, Fetch. Is it not nighttime for you?

Re: 178 | morning

[brotagonist]

Nah, it's morning. I wanted to call you before I forgot! It looks like a lot of stuff is gonna start happening.

Re: 178 | morning

[pyrocatharsis]

Ash mentioned something of it. He called earlier today. ...Yesterday for you, I suppose.

Re: 178 | morning

[brotagonist]

—so you heard about Citrine already.

Re: 178 | morning

[pyrocatharsis]

All but Riku and Ocean have gone. Yes, he mentioned.

Re: 178 | morning

[brotagonist]

[nods]

Sorry. I called 'cause — Ocean was looking pretty torn up about it. Maybe it'd help him out to know you're still okay...

Re: 178 | morning

[pyrocatharsis]

Why are you apologizing? I don't mind; I'm glad that someone thought to inform me.

[sighs]

Perhaps you could remind him that he, too, has a candle?

Re: 178 | morning

[brotagonist]

I will. You want to talk to him?

Re: 178 | morning

[pyrocatharsis]

I'm worried about him.

Re: 178 | morning

[brotagonist]

[taps the candle; the flame wavers]

Can you call someone first from your end?

Re: 178 | morning

[pyrocatharsis]

I don't know. I'd been too busy to find out. Besides, how would the candle know which of you I want to call?

Re: 178 | morning

[brotagonist]

That's true. . . I guess we could find out another time. I'll tell him you want to talk to him.

Busy?

Re: 178 | morning

[pyrocatharsis]

Mmm. I've completed what I came back to do.

Re: 178 | morning

[brotagonist]

[. . . congratulations on your revenge sounds wrong; just nods :|b]

Re: 178 | morning

[pyrocatharsis]

[CONGRATULATIONS ARE GOOD]

A lot has happened since I left.

Re: 178 | morning

[pyrocatharsis]

How are you doing, Fetch?

Re: 178 | morning

[brotagonist]

I'm doing all right too. We've had a few bad games and Wonderland is a pain, but the story's shifting — stuff is changing a lot.

Re: 178 | morning

[pyrocatharsis]

Are you glad for it? Or do you prefer things the way they were?

Re: 178 | morning

[brotagonist]

I'm really glad! I don't want to be stuck the way things are "supposed" to go forever.

Re: 178 | morning

[pyrocatharsis]

[nod]

That had been frustrating.

Re: 178 | morning

[brotagonist]

What's it like? Being home again after all that?

Re: 178 | morning

[pyrocatharsis]

[short laugh]

Citrine had been my home for longer than where I returned to has felt like a home. [shakes his head] I'm not there any longer; I might be able to make a home here.

Re: 178 | morning

[brotagonist]

. . . good luck. We're rooting for you, okay—!

Re: 178 | morning

[pyrocatharsis]

...Right.

Thank you.

Re: 178 | morning

[brotagonist]

Of course.
