[motioned]

[A rustling sound, like someone shifting around on a bed.]

You know, I make sure to pay really good attention to the calendar and changing the days, and I realized that it's been a whole year and a half since I first got here. It's sort of weird - sometimes it doesn't feel that long at all, but there are times it seems a lot longer. Even though it's hard, I'm glad. I learned a lot of stuff I probably wouldn't have, from some really amazing people. Some of them have gone home, but...

[She pauses, making sure her voice will hold before continuing.]

I know most of them are back where they would want to be. Even if I miss them, being sad just shows that we were close, so I think even that is something to be glad for. I hope everyone wouldn't be too sad for very long if I got sent home again, too.

I guess I just wanted to say thank you to everyone, all my friends and even people I've only talked to once. I don't know if I could have been very happy here at all if I didn't meet all of you, so I feel like owe you a lot.

[ooc: Forward dated to the 2nd! Tags will be sloooow because hiatus, but I wanted to slap this up now, because I'm not sure when I'll have a mostly free evening in the near future.]

That's really sweet of you, Ahiru. I feel the same way - and I'm sure that wherever they've gone home to, they're... happy and safe. And ... I'd like to believe that there's a part of you with them still in their thoughts.

[ Even though it's pretty much proven one forgets the city here when they go home and come back - she still holds out hope. ... also it hasn't dawned on her just what day it is. Herp. ]

I know it might be silly to think that when it doesn't happen for most people, but I'd really like to know that's true, too. And that they're safe. [Apart from those she knows aren't safe, at least.]

[ella_of_frell]

I don't think it's silly at all - I think it's sweet.

How are you doing?

[kuritsun]

[ That's certainly a positive outlook on the situation. ]

Have your friends disappeared recently?

[voice]

[motioned]

A few of them.

[reversing]

If you don't forget them, that's enough.

[motioned]

I could never forget any of them. They're all still so important to me.

[laurice]

Whoa...I've been around for a year and a half too. But I agree - lots of people I know have been sent home too and I think they're better off there.

[motioned]

It's weird to think it's been so long.

[uberboned]

Eesh. It has been that long, hasn't it? [It'll be two for him in October. Jesus.]

[motioned]

Yeah. It's been even longer for you, though, hasn't it?

[acclimatized]

I didn't realize you'd been here for this long. That's a nice way of thinking about it.

voice;

[motioned]

I was sort of surprised when I realized, too. I try to think about it the best way I can!

[mediumdrip]

Thank you for being my friend too Ahiru.

I feel like knowing you makes my life brighter.

[motioned]

I'm glad I could make you that happy!

[magnetic_magpie]

I'm glad I met you too, Ahiru

[motioned]

Thanks, Michael.

Have you been doing better?

[voice]

[summing_it_up]

...Ahiru...

[His voice is soft as he picks up his NV, staring at its surface as he listens to the broadcast. The pause goes on longer than he means it to because he still feels sort of bad for not knowing Ahiru like he once did, and being thanked for meeting and talking to her at all is just...well.]

It's...it's not that big a deal, is it? [The hint of dry Hiccup-ness doesn't cover the thoughtfulness of his tone.] You don't really have to do anything.

[voice]

[motioned]

I think it's a big deal! And saying thank you isn't really any trouble.

[athermercy]

I am glad to have been able to meet you, Ahiru. You're a sweet girl.

[motioned]

Thank you, Elaine! I'm really glad I got to meet you too.

[theshortestbird]

A year and a half is a long time.

[motioned]

How long have you been here, Red Robin?

[video]

[surgicalshot]

I'm glad to have known you for so long! I almost can't believe it!

[video] tjhyg ignore that, i clicked accidentally

[motioned]

Yeah! It doesn't seem like it's been that long at all. I guess you get used to it after a while.
