Second Rose: Not wishing for anyone [Written]

[formerabyssinian]

Am I the only one who wouldn't want anyone from home to be here?

Besides the cold, it isn't exactly a vacation here. With this place being so unpredictable, I'd rather have those I know back home in familiar territory.

I think my other brothers would get a kick out of Ace as captain.

[He is writing this because well, Aya started it. And if Aya isn't going to give him snuggles for warmth, then he doesn't get to have snuggles for warmth. So there.]

[Wow, Marco, stop being so mature.]

Why is that? [Should he even know?]

[Written]

[fierybluebird]

[Bite him. It would be warmer.]

Usually it is our father, and Ace is the baby of the family.

You have permission to tease him and coo over him now, but remember he punches us when we do that.

I have two [friends]people from my home here. I appreciate their presence, but they wouldn't be here if I had my way.

Where we come from is far safer and far more refined, and I wish we all could have stayed there. Especially them.

If only we all had our way. [He's sure it would be a very awful world like that, though.]

Refined in what way?

[Written]

[uccellodifuoco]

You're not. There are things back at my world that need to be done, and it's bad enough that I am wasting time playing pirate around here. If they stay there at least I can hope that things will get done even if I'm not there to help.

[It's not so much about the danger but about their duties.]

[Written]

[formerabyssinian]

Likewise. I'm sure they can manage without me. [After all, he only recently joined them, and they seemed to have done well without his presence before.] It's still not clear how things work back at home while I'm here.

[Like would anyone be searching for him.]

It is very selfish to wish for them to be here, right? We definitively shouldn't wish for that, not only it's dangerous, but it's away from home and they would be treated like criminals even if they do nothing wrong.


But it's hard to not wish to be with them, here or back home.

[Written]

[formerabyssinian]

A good point. I think it's best that we try to remember that it's not always a good thing to be selfish with all the consequences laid out like this.

[Even if some of his teammate's skills could help them in the long run.]

I wouldn't wish it on them, honestly. I think I prefer they stay put and be with their families after all we've been through back home. I wouldn't say being here would be a heck of a lot of difference, except the damper in abilities and being on a boat all the time, but I still wouldn't wish it on them.

[formerabyssinian]

Did you live in a world similar to this one, then?

written;

[wantsarobotgarden]

I wouldn't wish this on anyone back home. I couldn't help but worry otherwise.

written;

[formerabyssinian]

So you're not worrying about them now, or just not as much if they were here?

written;

[watchesthesea]

Considering all my friends are already here, I can't exactly answer the question at hand.

Are you still cold?

written;

[formerabyssinian]

I'm not sure if you're lucky or not, since you could easily keep track of them.

Yes, but I'll manage. [His handwriting says otherwise...]

written;

[bloodheels]

I wouldn't mind if my friends were here. I know they could take care of themselves and fighting aside it's not as bad here as it is back home.

written;

[formerabyssinian]

I'm sure my friends could, too, but I still wouldn't want them here. It seems that this whole ordeal is pretty new, and we don't have all the facts, nor could we easily find them through our usual means.

[imashaaaaark]

I sure as hell don't want anyone from back home. Mostly because they'd probably want to arrest me. Knowin' my luck, it'd be some wannabe hero.

[formerabyssinian]

[That's an answer he wasn't expecting.]

I don't think it would be so different here, right? We're all wanted criminals just for being here.

[hollywood_bro]

you're not the only one.
i'm sure plenty of people feel that way
the kids from where i'm from don't need to be here
they would've been better off at home.

[formerabyssinian]

So some of them are already here. [That's what he's gathering from the reply.] How are they faring?

Written

[orderispeace]

It would make tasks easier to accomplish if certain acquaintances were here, but for the most part I agree. It complicates matters more than anything else.

Written

[formerabyssinian]

How would things become complicated if they were here? [Unless they also had things to do back home.]

[arcadiasailor]

We're fine with being outlaws in an unpredictable universe. I wouldn't mind my friend being here. I'm just not sure this world is ready for what he can build.

written

[formerabyssinian]

So this is a walk in the park for you, then? I can't say I'm not used to being targeted, but not as an outlaw or anything like that.

What can your friend build?
