As far as some people are concerned, the future is just an excuse to put off problems that they're too lazy or scared to fix in the present. When they don't have the guts to face something, they leave it for some other time and before you know it, it's become somebody else's problem to deal with.

It doesn't seem like it would be that big an issue at first. It could be something simple, like an equation you put off; later it turns out that somebody else's experiment has blown up because that formula was a missing piece they didn't have yet. Although that might be important personally, it doesn't really have much of an impact on the whole future.

But then there's the problems that do affect everyone and everything: Things that cause the planet to die. The bigger the problem, the more people just want to run from it. Things like that are too big to handle, so they just bury it, hide it away, and forget about it--and if someone comes along one day after they're gone and finds it again, then it's not their problem anymore. It's the future's problem.

Sometimes we realize we can't keep running. Maybe there's nowhere left to run, or going to be nobody else to solve it for you later. It's hard and it's painful, but dealing with it now instead of looking away and letting it get worse is the best choice.

In the end, even a difficult future is better than no future at all.

[The device is on, though she's just quiet and contemplative for a moment after writing her thoughts out.]

Isn't it kind of odd to write about the future in a place where time doesn't really pass? Not as we normally know it, anyway.

[Another long pause. Replacing one convenient technology with another may just be the same as replacing one problem with another. Will it all just happen all over again?

Rita looks like she really wants to say something as she fidgets a bit, but even after what she wrote, there are some things she doesn't want to face right away, either. Eventually, she sighs and glares at the device as though it's at fault, then ends the feed.]

Yeah. Just before I arrived back here again... the gate was almost opened.

Time doesn't really move for us here.... so I guess it'll be fine until Tenebrae and I return. We'll probably go to the Ginunggagap then to keep Richter from opening the door then.

[ Yeah. I've read that it's pretty much emulating-possible now. You can emulate PS2 games now too! I'm not sure what specs you need to run it in your computer though... but I guess a Dualcore with a good graphics card would be sufficient... I only emulate PSone games myself ^^; ]

Seriously? ...The City sure picked a great time to take you away. But why would someone want to open the door? Is the guy nuts?

[My computer...probably couldn't handle it. ^^; But I'll definitely have to look into it and see!]

[ Sob. Richter. ]

...It was my fault. I killed someone important to him.

[ :) Well, you could wait a while... I lucked out with Symphonia, I think. Bought a gamecube while they still had the game in the stores. Didn't think it'd be so hard to find now... or expensive... The first game, I mean :) ]

You did what? ...Okay, so the guy was just out for revenge?

[Yep, it's pretty expensive (so is Abyss now, too). Though if I do ever find it, I could hijack my sister's Wii and play it on there.]

Yes.

[ he stops and then falls into that habit of sort of defending Richter. ]

I think I know what Richter feels... They were only trying to help the world then. But I... out of anger... I killed Aster.

[ I found Abyss by chance :) I was so happy- I got it for 14.99 ;-) And that was last year too ;_; ...I have seen Symphonia around for, maybe, 30 bucks around here.. so it isn't bad... ]

[She's not so sure what to say to that. What does anyone say to that?]

...But still, doing that--it would endanger the world, wouldn't it? He's just letting his anger out of control too.

[Ooh, lucky! There's not much in the way of video game stores around here, but I'll have to see. Also, going to work soon so I'll probably stop tagging until later. ):]

Yeah... but it's my responsibility...

[ Courage is the magic that WILL MAKE EMIL MAKE IT RIGHT B)

I'll catch you later then :) ♥ Maybe you can try online? ]

Whatever you say. It's not like it has anything to do with me, but--was it really you, or was it...you know, the other you?

[She's heard about his split personality from Yuri, so, yeah.

As for online, looks like ebay miiight just have some affordable-ish copies! /ponders]

We're one person...

[ Yuri's talked about it 8D?

...and yesss... Go go BD ]

It didn't seem that way to me when you were cursed that day. You didn't have any idea what was going on then, did you?

[The conversation went from Leon's grumpiness to the old apartment getting blown up by Ratatosk, I think. XD

S-so tempting...*_*]

I did...

[ A bit... really. ]

It's probably hard to believe now but before, I remembered everything I was doing when I'm.. the other me. So I know we're the same.

[ ...and he's a killer. ]

[ Do you have budget for iiit? :D And bwahaha. SQUIRRELTOSK. Does Rita know Emil's a Summon Spirit? ]

You were pretty confused all of a sudden...Hmph, whatever. So what's up with that other personality of yours, anyway? I haven't seen anything quite like that before.

[Nope, she doesn't know about that yet (but she heard about the squirrel thing XD).

Weeellll, I think it could~ I'd have to either hijack my sister's Wii or get my own console for it, though. Slightly more pricey. ^^;]

We're...

[ Emil thinks- ]

I guess there really should be one of us only.

[ I guess she'll be all :O :O if she finds out. Ohohoho.

Hijack her Wii! :D ]

There should be? In that case, why are there two of you?

[Ohgod she would! Hey Emil, feel like taking part in an experiment~?

Aye aye! XD]

Because he's not needed.

[ Hi, enjoy getting your answers from a truthful source. :D :D :D

~~Experiments?!~~

Ho ho ho :D ]

Huh? Oh, you're the grouchy one again. What, you just switch at random?

[Courage is the magic that brings truth~!

Both for great justice. :D]

I was getting tired of listening to him talk. Besides, it's not like he's answering you.

[ sneers. ]

"There's two of us but there should be just one" That should be my line.

[ Bwahahah! And puppies!

:D ~ So are you getting it :O? Symphonia is a terribly long game... it'll be hard to adjust from Vesperia ;; ]

Does that mean you feel like talking instead? So what is that supposed to mean, anyway?

[And squirrels! >D

Possibly! There's one local place I'll check out first since I hear they deal in older games too. Plus, I've played Abyss and Xenosaga and stuff. I like 'em long XD]

That wimp is a fake personality. He should have disappeared the moment I regained my memories.

That's what he can't say straight to you.

[ Mmm~

....Symphonia is really different. Abyss is long but its dungeons are evenly sized.... now Symphonia. I... can't replay it because I remember how long those dungeons were. /sob. But it's okay... just... painful... ]

So...you're the original and when you lost your memories, you pretty much developed an opposite personality as him. But somehow, you two separated even though you should be back. Is that about right?

It sounds like he's not so fake after all.

[Ohh, I see. Yeah, I can understand how that would be daunting to do again. I just...hope it's nothing like the nightmare that is Radiata Stories' last dungeon. ._.]

I could probably get rid of him if it weren't for that summon spirit.

[ I wanted to play Radiata Stories long ago ;-; Symphonia does have one dungeon that's supposed to be hell... the Forest of Despair, I believe... ]

Spirit? Which one?

[Aw. It's such a fun game--but yes, the final dungeon is indeed hell. Imagine a...really huge Snakes and Ladders-esque labyrinth, basically. The EB Games near me always seems to have some cheap used copies. No such luck around you?]

Verius.

[ Well, I've read the ending. I realized I didn't really care so much for it after a while. :'D I was initially drawn to it for the supposed similarities with Suikoden buuut... unlike Suikoden, there's too many optionals. ]

Hm. [Doesn't recognize that name.]

So this Spirit is protecting Emil...the other one. Why's it doing that?

[Ah. Never played Suikoden, but the number of characters is just. Yeah. Too many. XD]
