But I happen to like playing around. ;D
I am the Twins. A bit formal, oh haha. Though I thought I was going to be the only one regularly updating here, the Water Bearer has started using this as a medium to get my attention. (lol) No wonder se writes so often (or it could just be pure love for publicity). Ah I'm gonna get hit after this. ;P
Remember the half a year break? I should give it a name. The Drive Period. That should be a good enough name. I was driven to work on only one place, which is Grin Zeraga, the place I was born. Ahh it was long but it felt short, yet it was short and it felt so long. Know what I mean? It was a confusing period. Not for me then, but for me now. Back then I was so enthusiastic, after quitting I wonder what was I doing. 仲間だって？冗談じゃない。仲間なんか、ここだけじゃなくて、どこにもいる。もちろんここにある仲間たちの存在にやっと気付かせてくれたけど、それでなんだ？目をつぶって何でも言うことをきけって言いたいわけ？"With closed eyes"... huh? I recall the Water Bearer asked me about the same thing during that period.
WB: マジであんな奴らでいいの？
TT: あら、なんでかしら？
WB: あたしなら全然仲間と呼べないけどね。
TT: 僕の世は君の世と違って、純粋な人なんて、超珍しい。だからあんな人たちでも、勘弁やで。
WB: 絶対認めないからね！*crossing arms*
TT: ハハ。どうしたんだよ。信じてくれないか、僕の直感を？
WB: 今回だけ、どうしてもあんたの選んだ仲間を認めらんない。
TT: だったら僕が間違ってんのかな。。？
WB: きっとそうだよ！だって、嫌な気がするし。。
TT: でもさあ。。。目標は僕たちと同じだよ。
WB: ＊目をそらしながら＊何かがだめ。。。どこか、いけない。。
あの時全然気付かなかった、あいつが言いたいことを。目標が同じだからって何だ？確かに、僕はそれを聞いて興奮した。興奮しすぎてつい次々と連れて行ってしまう。ここまでだな。やっと気付いた。WBの違和感も、わかった気がする。
The Drive Association itself, I won't mark it as anything negative. Something is not right, and that is all. In fact if they are really on the same path as ours, they would understand why I decided to quit and pursue a better one. They are doing what I need to do, but they are not the best. Simply put, that is all.
The person who was managing me during DP asked me if I was serious about leaving. My mistake was to never let them see the real side of me, this side of me that works between dimensions along with the posture to remain who I am. I hid it on purpose, because they weren't ready to accept it. So when the manager came to me, I was fully assured that it was time to let hem see who I was. But I don't think se understood. Se probably even think I was someone else, a completely different being from what se used to know. This kind of misunderstanding is so often I've completely ignored it. DP was not all, but it wasn't so bad. At least I know who I can reach when the time comes to surprise the sleeping people of Grin Zeraga.
Little did I know that while I was thinking of this, something new was occurring on Keen Xenocis. We're still looking into this matter, before it becomes uncontrolled. I only realized it when I was taken captive by one of my comrades, the Sky.
A few days before it happened, I had this conversation with WB.
TT: な、君の言う通り、仕事を変えてるけど、お願いしたいことがある。
WB: うん、何？
TT: いくら仕事を変えても、僕の敵はいつでも襲ってくるのは違いない。いつかまた浚われるかもしれない。これからも、何回も繰り返し。
WB: 。。。冗談やめてよ。何、お願いって？まさか変なことしないでよ。
TT: その時は、僕の助けに来ないでほしい。
WB: Are you kidding?? How am I supposed to do nothing when you're like that???
TT: I don't die easily. Though it's hard, there's always a way for me to survive. But I don't want any harm to befall you. What if you get hurt to a condition you can't recover? What should I do if you die?
WB: But.. but..
TT: I love you dearly. I can't bear losing you.
WB: You're right. It is better if we're not there. After all...
TT: ... after all, what?
WB: Nothing. I understand. But promise that you'll stay alive, and come home safely.
TT: *smile* Of course.
Then it happened. That day I lowered my guard and stepped into the Sky's arte circle by accident. When I regained consciousness, a week had passed. The Sky was planning to let me starve to death, so when se saw me alive se pinned me down with pokers and left me to bleed to death.
The rest, as I heard from others. The Sky kept a spycam inside the room I was held, apparently to see if I still manage to survive. (Se sure knows how well I can go through things like that). Hes colleague, who happened to be a tech geek and just returned from abroad found the line to the spycam and informed WB to gather people and infiltrate TS's getaway cabin (where I was). At first WB was reluctant, remembering what I said to hem, but se was shown the video where I was alive and bleeding, se rushed to the rescue.... which made things difficult.
After TS left the cabin I pulled off the pokers by force and made for the jungle outside. Looking for a place to hide and recover, I went up a tall tree and hid among the branches (don't ask how I climbed it). After a few hours I saw TS looking for me. A few minutes after se disappeared, WB's troupe appeared, obviously following the blood trail. The trail of course stopped abruptly beneath the tree I was hiding. I thought of calling out to them, but stopped when I saw TS watching them from behind the trees. Just as I was thinking how worse things could turn should they find me, WB went up the tree and saw me, calling out my name. かなり最悪だった。
TS wasted no time and snatched me away from them, taking me to the boat by the beach. My healing wounds were ripped open by the rough treatment and I had no enough strength to struggle. As se made hes getaway, with the chasing troupe close behind, se threatened to throw me into the sea. Probably se saw the immediate fear on my face when se said that, and gleeing, se threw me off the boat. Fear of the dark waters overcame me. I thought I was gonna die for real.
In the end they managed to catch up to TS, and WB jumped into the ocean to save me. Then they left the two of us in one room for medication. WB is the healer after all.
WB: Sorry... it was my fault...
TT: As to be expected from my rival. TS had it for you, didn't se?
WB: Maybe if I wasn't too rough on hem this wouldn't happen.
TT: We wouldn't know. And it's not like hem either to do this. Something is not right.
WB: ....
TT: Why are you still crying? Don't cry. I'm still alive, see?
WB: But I made you go through all that. If I didn't discover your hiding place, you wouldn't have been thrown into the ocean that you hate so much. *sobs*
TT: ... *joking* I don't hate the ocean.
WB: You fear it! You fear the ocean!
TT: Okay, that's true. Hehe.
WB: I'm sorry. I promised you I wouldn't come and make things worse, but when I see you bleed that much I...- *cry*
TT: ... make things worse? You didn't... um, it did spoil my escape plan, but not so bad. But more importantly, that's not the reason I forbid you to come.
WB: You can't say it right? The truth is our being here is just a burden to you. I can accept it, it's fact. いつも足を引っ張ってるでしょ？
TT: そんな。。。馬鹿言わないで。いくら君たちが足を引っ張ってても、僕は構わないよ。本当の気持ちわかってるから。だけど、もし君たちに何かあったら、それはもう悲しくて悲しくて。。だから来るなって。
I thought so, that WB was feeling like se was being a burden to me. I hope that's settled though.
What I felt wrong about TS was right. Se wasn't being hemself no thanks to the spell that took over hem. That is what we are investigating currently.
Oh, and something seems to have happened between the Golden Flower and the Red Star. 展開、楽しみだね。;)
