[Journal and Event]
Oh, huh... today's my 18th birthday.
It's kinda shocking, how quickly my time at the Academy's gone by... It's almost unreal to me.
Even though I still feel like something's watching me, at least things feel sorta... peaceful, right now.
I guess at the least, that's what I'd want right now.
[Event]
*from sunset to evening, Hitoshi's out and about, be it at the island or in the city.
He's yawning a little, though he's taking great care to cover his mouth when doing so. Seems like he just woke up or something. But... He keeps looking over his shoulder, too.
Whoever or whatever's been watching him has done it consistently, but he still isn't sure why or who... So he's a little on edge about it.*

Re: [Event Post]
"That's... to be expected. You aren't exactly planning on staying around long. I'll, uh. Try and give you a call then, once I get this sorted out. Especially on Hitoshi's end. He won't be happy, but I'll throw him under the bus in this one case.
... Thanks again for not straight up murdering me and being, uh. Real reasonable. "
Re: [Event Post]
*You'll regret that internal thanks.*
Of course. I'm no murderer... Faust, wasn't it?
All I desire is to fulfill my... mother's, request, to make sure that Hitoshi doesn't face further difficulties. Once that is done, I'll take my leave back to where I belong.
Re: [Event Post]
He absolutely will.
"Yeah, Faust.
I hope he doesn't. How long would 'awhile' be, so he could learn this self-control anyway?"
Don't span it into centuries, don't span it into centuries...
Re: [Event Post]
*he taps his cane on the ground, as though pondering the exacts*
Learning self-control is a constant effort for all of us, but given his relative age and remarkable display of self-control, it shouldn't be too long.
Perhaps a year for him to learn the basics enough to live however long he wants his human life to be, in our time. *"Our" time?*
Re: [Event Post]
A year isn't bad. This is one hundred percent okay in Neil's eyes.
Re: [Event Post]
Oh, yes. It's difficult to explain in human terms, and I must admit this is something no one has control upon, but the "12 Dimensions", the worlds that inhabit it, can have fluctuating timespans compared to Earth's time.
While this doesn't usually vary too wildly, depending on where you go, you can have several months pass in a Earth week.
As a result, where I am from can regularly fluctuate depending on the point of time. I won't know until I'm back, but I could find that a year has gone by, already.
*and if you remember it right, Hitoshi mentioned that he was being followed as far back as October...*
Re: [Event Post]
He hrms.
"That's... honestly very fascinating. I didn't realize it could fluctuate that wildly."
He seems vaguely upset about this, but it's not directed at you.
Re: [Event Post]
You say that this is fascinating, but...
Is something the matter, about this? You did seem to have some opinion before about our methods. Does that still weigh on you?
Re: [Event Post]
It's more, ah... I've got a buddy who might be stranded in the 12 Dimensions. If it's been nearly a year for us, just imagining how long she's been there is... upsetting is all."
Re: [Event Post]
So a friend of yours... Depending on how far away she was cast out, then who knows how long it's been, at this point.
Do you have any idea where she may have ended up?
Re: [Event Post]
"Nah. It was an experiment gone wrong. We got some sort of demon out of it, if that helps."
Re: [Event Post]
So Makai perhaps? Ah, well, with luck, she might have found her own place to be in the world she ended up with, if she hasn't returned thus far.
*he tilts his head slightly, as though... "listening".*
Seems like my nephew has found a building to take cover at, by now. I think I've stayed in the open for more than long enough, at this point.
Re: [Event Post]
He gives a small smile.
"I'll talk to your nephew. I'm sure he'll definitely listen to me."
Re: [Event Post]
The chances are very likely, yes.
I wish you luck in convincing my nephew to confront this.
*he makes a bow, before turning and walking, cane clicking on the ground.
you're pretty sure he just literally melted into the shadows, right there.*
