So here I am again. It's not really surprising - should've known, really. Ah, but that's not true; I did know. That there had to be a catch to the deal. It was the only logical thing, after all.

And yet, I went anyway. Impatient, selfish, ungrateful - could've cost someone their life, after all. Then I'll have to live with that, too - well, just one more thing. Not the first death I caused, and won't be the last. Gone too far now, no turning back.

And still I'm glad: I was able to finish what I left behind and I think I got rid of a lot of insecurities - what's up with Manji, do we really go back to exactly the time we were taken from, all that kind of stuff. I'm deeply reassured now, and in a way, that's good for my life here, too. While I am here, I might well commit myself to it now.

Strange to think that I have a whole alternate life going on here, and even more strange that I don't remember anything about it at home. Well, that would probably mess with time and space too much. Is this all a dream, after all? Hypnosis? But then... if immortality exists, why not this level of magic? If it is magic. For all I know, what I've seen of the world so far is only the surface of a deeper truth.

Hah, almost sad that I won't likely be able to get to the ground of that; can't lose sight of my real goal, after all.

Just a few more steps, then all of this will come to an end.


[text entry]

I've had a few days to think, and here I am with my network device again.

I feel like I should say something. Suppose I should make a statement. But then, I've hardly been on the receiving end of reproach; I'm a little surprised. Not that I'm mad for punishment, but I certainly would have understood. Too well.

Because I've been impatient and selfish.

Nothing to be done about that now, of course. I'm just thinking - maybe it counts for something that I said it. It's not an excuse, and it also doesn't mean I'll quietly await whatever punishment one may see fit to bestow upon me - I've got things to do and things to live for and I'm not giving it up and away, sorry.

If... if someone died because of me... that was the one thing I wasn't thinking of. Ah, well.

Neither can I say I'm sorry to have gained what I did.

And then... what else I wanted to say: I'm actually sort of glad to be back. To see you all again.

(OOC: And that is that. As for HMD, my thread can be found here!)

Oh... so you pressed the button, Rin? What happened?

[identity profile] revengeisalie.livejournal.com 2009-11-28 09:48 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, Rokuta. Mh, I did - I went home.

[identity profile] kirinofen.livejournal.com 2009-11-29 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
... Well, that's good I guess. Always nice to get a chance to go home.

[identity profile] revengeisalie.livejournal.com 2009-11-29 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
That's true. It, was, hmm... yeah. Good. I got some important stuff done.

[identity profile] kirinofen.livejournal.com 2009-11-29 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Always a good thing. I hope it didn't just make you more homesick.

[identity profile] revengeisalie.livejournal.com 2009-11-29 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Not really. I mean, yeah, I sort of miss it - but it's okay. And I really am happy to see you all again, you know.

[identity profile] kirinofen.livejournal.com 2009-12-02 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, shucks! But the apartment isn't the same without you, so... welcome back!

[identity profile] revengeisalie.livejournal.com 2009-12-02 11:14 am (UTC)(link)
Really? My, that's kinda nice to hear!

[identity profile] revengeisalie.livejournal.com 2009-12-03 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Always nice to know I'm welcome.

[identity profile] kirinofen.livejournal.com 2009-12-04 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
You'll always be welcomed.

Do you think it was worth pressing the button?

[identity profile] revengeisalie.livejournal.com 2009-11-28 09:49 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know if I can say worth it...



... yes. Yes, it was.

[identity profile] guardianhime.livejournal.com 2009-11-28 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
You're among the few who seem to think so.

[identity profile] revengeisalie.livejournal.com 2009-11-28 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Not a lot of people got what they wished for, huh?

[identity profile] revengeisalie.livejournal.com 2009-11-28 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
That's right.

Could you do what you wanted to do?
reginagloriae: (Glomp)

[personal profile] reginagloriae 2009-11-28 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
You did it? I knew you could do it!

[identity profile] revengeisalie.livejournal.com 2009-11-28 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
... thanks.

I think I didn't do so bad, but I had a lot of great help, too.

If I had pushed the button, would I have been able to done anything?
reginagloriae: (Changed for the best)

[personal profile] reginagloriae 2009-11-29 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
But it's done, right? I think I ought to ask you: What are you going to do next?

[identity profile] revengeisalie.livejournal.com 2009-11-29 09:44 am (UTC)(link)
Mh, it's done.

Well, right now Manji and I are on our way to Hitachi, to follow Anotsu Kagehisa... only then we met two friends of mine, and one of them told me they had seen a group of Ittō-ryū... and Anotsu wasn't among them.

You have decided to pursue your revenge?

... what a spoiltastic thread.

[identity profile] revengeisalie.livejournal.com 2009-11-30 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
... you know, I think it doesn't matter so much what I end up doing.

I met him recently. We talked, and he said to me: "This may be Ittō-ryū's last battle". So maybe, he isn't gonna survive anyway!

What I've got to do is follow him. See how his fate turns out. As long as I do that, I think I'm going to be okay with it.
reginagloriae: (Sheepish)

spoil me bb

[personal profile] reginagloriae 2009-11-30 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
What you do is important to you, isn't it? Will that help you to be at peace?

To hell and back. <3

[identity profile] revengeisalie.livejournal.com 2009-11-30 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Mh, I think it will. I'm pretty confident about that.

reginagloriae: (Respectful)

yay unf samura should spoil usss

[personal profile] reginagloriae 2009-11-30 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I'm happy for you to have found your path.

I SUPPORT THIS even if I kind of like the stalling

[identity profile] revengeisalie.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 11:15 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks.

From now on, I'm just taking it in stride!
