[Vincent is off in a forested area not far from town. He's seated under a tree, thinking and watching leaves fall.]

Yet another alternate reality... but something about this was different from others. As if we were living out a set story, each time...

[It's not as if they have the exact same fairytales on his world, after all, but there had been a strange way to how the week's events had unfolded that it was noticeable. He wonders about it, vaguely, and about the parallel to the one he'd lived through and how it fit into his own background. There's also plenty of other things on his mind, the typical human vs monster divide, and the love issues... but he won't bring any of those up on here.]

[He takes a red leaf in hand as it falls and stares at it.]

...the time of year... it's close. Perhaps it's best if I spend it away.

...What would be close at this time of the year? [Yuri doubts he's talking about the onset of autumn.]

[Voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

A date which no longer holds meaning.

[Yes, it's not just about the autumn. It's about Vincent having far too much else in mind, as always.]

[Voice]

...If it didn't, you wouldn't speak of it.

[Voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[A wise enough assessment.]

Perhaps I'm still determining what it should mean now.

[It's only been a few years he's been... conscious, altered as he is.]

Re: [Voice]

[hear-thanatos.livejournal.com]

...Is it so crucial a matter?

[Voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

Typically not... but it's still hard to ignore at times.

[Voice]

[hear-thanatos.livejournal.com]

Perhaps if you enlighten me, I might be able to help you decide.

[Voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

The problem is... being frozen in time.

[So it really is something that's... always there, just mostly in the background. Usually.]

[Voice]

[hear-thanatos.livejournal.com]

...[Well that's certainly a unique problem.] Yourself? Or someone else?

[Voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[Very. And he's discussed this much, so he may as well admit to it...]

Myself.

[Voice]

[hear-thanatos.livejournal.com]

[A small silence. He'd expected this much from the thread of conversation, but for someone to be 'frozen in time'...?] You seem to be bearing it well. What exactly ails you?

[Voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[Well, why not, it's easier somehow to speak of these things into the journal than to people in person.]

That no matter how much time passes... I will remain as I am. I was... reminded of it today...

[Voice]

[hear-thanatos.livejournal.com]

That is not necessarily a burden.

Unless, of course, you're... unhappy?

[Voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

Everyone has their share of sorrow.

[Voice]

[hear-thanatos.livejournal.com]

Not all have burdens that can't be shouldered.

[Voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[He takes a long moment to consider.]

Perhaps not.

[Voice]

[hear-thanatos.livejournal.com]

There is honoring our past and there is being tethered to it. Think carefully on yours.

[Voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

I'll give it all the consideration it needs. I have enough time in which to think.
