The null cone

[fermionprincess]

My good friends...

[Alessandra sits in front of the wall. Not just a wall - the wall of rememberance. So many names are written there, of White Chalice crew who departed this world.]

Were it not for your valiant efforts, would this very Champion still be able to recite these words, sit where she does? Somehow I find that most doubtful... yet, I cannot help but be overwhelmed by emotions of longing and melancholy.

I suppose...

I suppose I just miss you.

[Alessandra continues to drink her tea in relative peace, but her armored hand shakes while these words are uttered.]

[Yes, this is an invitation to remember and talk about dead characters.]

[[Gainer stops by and spots Alessandra. Then spots Resnick's name.

He kind of groans, but shifts it into a sigh for subtlety. Still doesn't like him, but, not going to disrespect the dead.]]

Not the kind of place I'd usually find you.

[fermionprincess]

It could be that the assorted threats to the world and reality as a whole did put me in a contemplative mood.

It may happen to the best of us, sir Gainer.

[turningyaponese]

Yeah, I know. That's why I went back home for a while. What little of a home I have anyway, but... yeah. Everyone's still fine there, but they didn't know how I was doing.

You know... there's not many people on this wall I actually had anything to do with.

[fermionprincess]

It is a small blessing, to not personally know those who have perished. I would not blame one for receiving it.

[turningyaponese]

Uh... well that's one way of looking at it. I guess I shouldn't feel too bad that I don't know them then. You know... no mourning.

[fermionprincess]

They would rather not have us feel bad either way, would they?
