thirty ninth dance | voice;

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm all back to normal now. Um, thank you for everyone who was concerned or offered to help. It really does mean a lot.

[Still, despite that good news, her voice doesn't very relieved or happy. It doesn't sound sad, either; it's carefully neutral instead as she moves on.]

That's not really all I wanted to say, though. For anyone who knew Davesprite while he was here, he's gone home. He was, um, the orange boy with the wings. The timing seems pretty bad, I know, but I'm sure he wasn't in the hunt, so nobody should worry about that. I called and it kept ringing, so... For what it's worth, though, I'm sorry to all the friends he had here.

I guess that's all I really had to say.

Yeah! I mean, I've been angry a bunch of times, but I think he probably set a new record or something.

He probably wanted to peck someone to death.

Me. He wanted to peck me to death.

[She giggles.]

But there's not so much a duck can do to someone that much taller, you know? Besides, he probably didn't want to get his own ankles all bruised.

Hahaha—what did you do with him?

I told him how to change back pretty quick. I think he would've broke a wing if I didn't, the way he was going on.

[IT HAS NOT HAPPENED YET but it is about to, here is the link]

Ouch. That'd be a pain for you now.

I guess so. I mean, there's been people who have gotten through worse just fine, though. Either way, it's not something I have to worry about!

Yeah. It's better you're back to normal.

Well, not normal normal, but normal enough, I guess.

Good point. I can't really call you totally normal.

I don't think anyone in this city is really normal.

That's definitely true.

At least it's not weird in a bad way all the time!

Just some of the time.

I think that's the case for most places, though, even if it can be worse here.

Yeah, maybe.

Maybe?

There are a lot of different worlds with all kinds of weirdness levels.

[She pauses for a minute.]

Do you think if someone told you they came from a really bad world, and they got sent home, there's a chance it would fix itself quick so they could be safe?

How do you mean?

Like... If they said it was really violent and dangerous, do you think there's a chance it could get better and they wouldn't get hurt?

[He hesitates, not wanting to lie to her but not wanting to upset her either. There's definitely more going on here than meets the eye.]

I don't think it works like that. A world...probably wouldn't change just like that.

But they can change. Everything can.

I know they can change. I mean, mine got a lot better. But I know people who are just from bad worlds overall, too. I guess I just wish...

Do you ever wish you could know how your friends who had gone home were doing back there? I mean - that's a stupid question, of course you do.

[He's quiet for a moment.]

Yeah, I do. All the time. I wish I could at least send them a letter or something.

Yeah. I just...

[There's a pause, but her voice is a bit thicker when she resumes.]

He said he didn't want to go home. That he used to have nightmares about the kind of stuff that happened to him back there.
