[If it's wrecked then I have no idea but if not Riff is welcome on in!!! Yasusada slides his sandals off in the entryway even though nobody else ever does... tch... ]
It's really different from the citadel! But it isn't bad. [A pause, and then he gestures towards the balcony.] I like the ocean.
[i'm going to pretend you haven't destroyed your apartments yet. anyway they follow along like a good riff, still looking this way and that. the text continues to play back as audio so yams can hear.]
kashuu told me a little about ur citadel its way different have u ever been to the ocean before?
That makes him laugh, though, and he moves to sit down.]
I think that's normal for a big group! Even smaller ones. People don't agree on things all the time. [He rests his hands in his lap.] I can't accept what you guys say about us, but--I think it should be your choice. If you want to stay, then you can stay.
[yams sits down and they lean against a wall comfortably. the shadows ripple off of them like they're blending in and disappearing just slightly. it's hard to tell what their limbs are doing, but they seem to have the heel of one foot propped up against the wall for balance as they type.]
yeah but i guess for us it also feels like none of u are even giving it a chance bc ur so focused on leaving
["I know it's our choice to make, and I know what my choice is, but...I dunno."]
[To his credit, he seems to be trying to say it gently--he may or may not succeed, but the good intentions are there.]
I don't think this is a bad place, or that you're bad. [He has Some Concerns about their memories, but from what he'd read, that seems to be a sore spot, so he doesn't bring it up for now. Yasusada can definitely be tactless, but he's not entirely inept at navigating difficult conversations.] I'm sure Buzen and Kiyomitsu feel that way too. But Ido-kun... Kiyomitsu and I don't even have our real selves here. It's really scary, you know? Even for us.
[To say nothing of how it must feel to humans.]
I think people would feel better if we knew we could go and come back when we wanted. For us, it's like... if we could go home to the citadel, we could tell Aruji that this place needs some help, and do the mission properly. [A pause, as he considers.] But that's not really something you all can do, right? It's up to the prism?
i know i know its scary for u guys its probably scary for all of us for different reasons but we dont know how to send u back because things and people dont leave here its not that we dont want to we just know its not likely but it sounds like u understand that part idk if the prism brought u here but the prism doesnt let things go not really
[Hmmm. How does he explain that he can't accept that, without upsetting Riff? He's not the greatest at this.]
I believe that you don't know how to help. It's okay if you don't! But even if we like it here, and we like you all--we can't accept that for ourselves. [He smiles, a little apologetic.] I'm sorry. I know some people are being really mean about it.
[And it's not like the paranoia is illogical, especially not anymore--but still.]
[they definitely understand what yams is saying, but...it's just difficult to process. then again, maybe if they were away from the prism they'd want to come back and be upset they couldn't either.
it's all very confusing, really.]
...we cant really stop u guys from doing stuff or feeling the way u feel just...maybe consider their feelings a little more ok? i know its not u i mean in general
Sorry... I think they just weren't thinking. [He smiles a little, sheepish.] I do that too. Hearts are really difficult to handle, so it's hard to be careful sometimes.
[He's not the best at watching his words, but at least he's a little more aware of it than he used to be.]
its more obvious now but idk i dont want them feeling bad about stuff emotions are new to u guys arent they? kashuu told me about ur bodies and stuff being newer but he didnt say how new
[we will scoot past feeling bad to talk about something else.]
On missions, we're not really supposed to tell people what we are, so sometimes we have to pretend to be human. Some of us lived with them for a while, too. [And sometimes they get caught because they're stupid but it's fine] But for me, I already knew those humans, so it was easier than something like this.
[A pause, as he considers.]
Well, not easy. It was really hard. But not because I didn't know them.
[that actually makes some sense. the swords would have to emulate someone, so being around other humans tracks.]
being around humans is hard no matter what sometimes whether u know them or not kashuus mentioned ur missions before but never really said what they are what are they? just fighting wars?

But Yasusada nods, looking thoughtful.]
It's a little hard to keep track of time... [Sometimes you are an object spirit and you live for centuries.] Maybe... five years? I think?
no subject
but ur doing p good at understanding humans
maybe even better than some real humans
