❧ Two Roads Diverged in a Yellow Wood

[luministimods]

[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.)]

[Sophie nods, looking--perhaps surprisingly--nervous] Howl doesn't even know. It will be quite the surprise, I'm sure. [she smiles wryly] I'll never hear the end of it.

Oh, Miss Sophie! That really will be a surprise! I- I hope he's understanding about the whole being kidnapped and all.

[fortune_sought]

He'd better be! It's not as though he doesn't know enough about strong magic to know how it could have happened. And in any case, I'm sure he'll be much too busy being proud of himself.

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

Proud of himself? For what?

[[ooc; I'm sorry to have the muse ask something the mun knows the answer to quite well... XD]]

[fortune_sought]

[Sophie is, understandably, confused by that question] Why, because he's going to be a father, of course!

[if Fuu so much as insinuates she thought it was someone in town's baby, too, Sophie might just lose it]

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

Oh-! Of course! I'm sorry. It just sounded like- [sounded like Howl would be proud of only himself and not Sophie...]

I'm sure that he'll be happy to see you and you can be proud together!

[fortune_sought]

[more like Howl's ego would overshadow any joint pride...]

[it's Sophie who really doesn't understand what Fuu is implying now. she smiles] Yes, of course. [she puts a hand to her abdomen] Our whole family will be.

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

Right! [Togetherness is important!]

I wish you and your family every happiness, Miss Sophie. And, thank you again for everything you have done for me.


[[totally ooc but- one of my friends will be dressing as Howl at a party tomorrow. With green slime. Pictures will be taken :3]]

[fortune_sought]

[ooc: Share, please! That sounds awesome!]

I wish you the same, Fuu. Enjoy being back home with your friends. And thank you, too.

[With a final bow she gives her the best smile she can muster.]

Farewell, Miss Sophie.
