Video; Questions
[As pleased as Sola was all throughout the RPG curse, cutting weeds and fighting monsters and just generally being in his element, he seems much more sombre when he appears on the network in the early hours of Monday morning. He's sitting on a couch, a small blue instrument in his hands. It seems he can't sleep.]
I thought the curse would help me forget about it, but...
[He turns the ocarina over in his hands, not looking at the camera.]
...what happens if you died on your world and then you get sent back there from here?
[He knows too many where this is the case, and if the tightening of his fingers around the object in his hands is any indication, it's something that weighs on him a great deal.]
And, um, Zelda? If you see this, I'm really sorry I couldn't make a wish.
[He tried very hard, but he just couldn't make it.
Unable to think of much more to say, Sola simply sits and turns the ocarina over in his hands, either waiting for an answer or simply unwilling to turn off the video.]

i can argue semantics with you all day. really. i can. but the bottom line is that when youre hurting you grit your teeth and get back up again. you dont sit and mope. and you sure as hell dont let other people coddle you like a goddamn baby.
reality is mean. doesnt mean you should ignore it.

WHO ARE YOU, ANYWAY?

[Not that the SFC is that great at keeping his identity hidden, especially in a public conversation like this, but... Good luck finding him. Also, he wasn't exactly under the impression that Dark Link is a kid, but considering the way that guy talks, he guesses it makes sense.]
adults are meant to prepare the young for the future. not hide them from it.
Text
IS IT THE QUIRK? IS THAT WHAT'S CAUSING THE PROBLEM?
Is this better? I'm sorry, I forget sometimes that not everyone is used to the different quirks. Let's try this again.
My name is Sufferer, and while I agree with you that adults are meant to prepare the young for the future, I don't think it's right to be so aggressive with them at times when they're already in a bad place. Sola is like a son to me, and I would be very grateful if you would back down a little and let me deal with this.
Now, I'm afraid I still haven't caught your name.
Text
Did he seriously just fall for the oldest trick in the chat book?]
i wasnt being aggressive. i was stating facts. thats how answering a question works.
if you wanna deal with it be my guest. here. im backing down.
[Aaand he's still not going to give a name.]
Text
I'm sure I'll see you around the network at other times, Mystery Man, so if I do, you might need to remind me to drop the quirk. All you have to do is ask, and I can easily type like this.
[Ugh, why won't you give him your name
so he can recognize you and make the connection between you and Dave aaaaaargh?]Text
stop it1! dad woldnt hurt anyone and the other gys just sayn what he thin
gks and im not upset at anytoen een if it makes me sad so just stop alredy!!1[Okay so his typing gets really awful when he's upset but seriously dudes, calm your tits.
...though it does make Sola kinda warm and fuzzy to know his trolldad is watching out for him, even if the attempted rescue is heavy-handed and makes him feel like a child.]
Text
I'M SORRY, SOLA. I GOT INTO OVER-PROTECTIVE MODE THERE. IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE TALKING TO THIS ENIGMATIC INDIVIDUAL, I'LL GET OUT OF THE WAY.
YOU COULD ALSO COME HAVE SOME TEA WITH ME, IF YOU'D LIKE.
Text
maybe later im going to the coral for a little while but i will come over after
[Tea with dad sounds really nice though.]
Text
Text
man no. by all means. keep doing your thing.
next thing you know theyll be expecting me to put more effort into my own typing. thats a can of worms i dont wanna see opened.
[Because he stopped caring about things like capital letters ages ago. By the way, he sees Sufferer calling him "enigmatic" up there.]
Text
All right, I'm switching back to my quirk then.
THERE. MUCH BETTER. AND FAR BE IT FOR ME TO QUESTION ANYONE ELSE'S QUIRK.
ACTUALLY, YOU TYPE LIKE SOMEONE WHO USED TO BE HERE. MORE PUNCTUATION AND A DIFFERENT COLOR, BUT OTHERWISE IT'S ALMOST IDENTICAL.
Text
someone who used to be here huh.
lucky me. now theres no chance of hilarious mixups.
Text
Text
of the amazing strider family im guessing.
yeah. he sure is gone.

Text; I'm not just pulling all this out of my ass, Sufferer and Dave did talk about this, I swear!
DO YOU KNOW WHO IS TAKING CARE OF HIS CHOCOBO NOW? OR DOES HE NEED A NEW HOME?
Text; It's fine! =)
i dunno. im not the best person to ask.
little miss harley might know. you know. jade. or davesprite.
Text;
OKAY, I'LL ASK AROUND. GAME ALMOST WENT FERAL ONCE, I WOULDN'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN.
Text;
im gonna guess you wont have too much trouble finding a new home for it.
i mean. who wouldnt want a chocobo right?
Text;
NO MATTER. IF NO ONE ELSE IS INTERESTED, I'LL KEEP HIM.
Text;
good luck with that.
