luministi | ❧ Two Roads Diverged in a Yellow Wood

[Nothing much has changed in the interior of Dr. Caligin's office since Nathan gave everyone leave to make their decisions. Nathan is still there waiting by Lab #3. If they are returning from doing whatever around the spacestation, they'll notice that all of the photos on the wall have been removed and stacked neatly on the desk, along with all of Caligin's possessions that had been shoved into a desk drawer. (Of course, if one had never left the office, one would have seen him pulling all of the photos down.)]

If you have made your decision, please let me know now. And, uh, if you haven't for some reason and want to ask me something, I guess you can do that too.

So what have you decided?

[ooc: When your character is ready to leave, please write "Going home!" in the subject line of your comment and that will be your exit from the game for the season! And if your character is staying, please write "Staying in this universe!" in the subject line of your comment once you are done with your conversation with Nathan. (This will also be your "exit" from the game, but just in a different sense.)]

I see. Hopefully things that had been said will be helpful...

[She gives his coat a very curious look.]

It was very nostalgic to see everyone's pictures. [She makes a small gesture to the neat piles Nathan had made of them on the desk.]

It did. It means he's in danger now himself now that he ran.

[that observation confuses him a bit] Nostalgic? You've seen most of these people everyday for the past few months.

[She shakes her head sadly - it seems like everyone who gets close to this business ends up getting hurt. But Resarci - both of them - made their choice.]

Mmm. Well, some of them. But some of them were here for only a short time. And some I haven't seen in a while.

They were lucky, then. They weren't wanted in the end. But, you should be able to rest easier knowing that they have been returned home. They probably wouldn't want you to worry.

Yes, you're right...

But- 'wanted'? I don't know what would make me 'wanted'. There were many stronger, more clever, more beautiful people than me...

[She suddenly shakes her head.]

I'm sorry. It's better by far that I'm here, and the others went back to live in peace.

[oh Fuu, if only he could explain right now.] And you get to go back to a live of peace yourself. It just took a little longer.

[If only.]

Yes. A relatively ordinary life of peace. [She smiles longingly - her life will never be normal, even if she doesn't remember Luministi.]

Thank you again. Because of your help, we have the choice to return at all.

[he starts rubbing the back of his neck, a bit modest about the whole thing] I was just doing my duty... But good luck back home.

Thank you. And good luck to you as you continue on here. Oh- which reminds me. You will be able to return Mister Caligin's pictures to him? [She had promised herself that she'd see the things that had been meant as a trap would peaceably find their way back to him.]

His personal belongings in his desk? Of course. Told him I would. [smiles] I'm pretty good about keeping my word.

I'm relieved that everything that belongs to him will be returned.

So who does the thing that you just took from the desk belong to?

Me. Everything on top of the desk minus Dr. Caligin's personal belongings are now evidence--and uh, belong to me because of it.

I should let you get back. Go on in. [he gestures to the chamber she should go into before he heads to the observation room]

[Nodding at his explanation she moves further into the room- her time here has clearly made her more paranoid, albeit with good reason.]

My apologies. Thank you yet again!

[he wouldn't blame her for feeling that way either]

Don't mention it. Just close the door once you're ready, okay? [waits for her to enter the inner chamber]

[And she does as instructed.
Closing the door she is a touch nervous, but relieved to be going home.]

[once she's inside, Nathan heads over to the observation chamber. he knows there's no reason why he should; he could do it anywhere and still have the same effect. nonetheless, he knows the others would expect some adherence to the ritual. with a shake of his head, he opens what he's had tucked in his coat and places the empty container on the table in front of him with the others. when he's done doing what must be done, he knows Fuu is no longer in that chamber.]
