hey everyone, i'll trade someone another future reading if they'll give me another pack of venom from a spider or snake from the forest floor again. usual rules apply, i can't tell anyone anything about the administrators.

[ Guess who was forced to learn how to fight since being here for... well... what now feels like forever? One of the tactics he learned was applying poison to his darts, so he lets the tips soak in a jaw of venom from various monsters overnight, before attaching them to his darts whenever he leaves his room. However, he still avoids fighting whenever possible, and compared to many other people here... he's still a little on the scrawny side, and he's still a normal human. So he's taken to trading things that help him survive in exchange for him reading about them in his Diary, and telling them what they should or shouldn't watch out for.

He sticks around for an hour in the library after sending out the various messages. Afterwards, you might catch him on any of the first three floors. ]

Private to Yuno
hi yuno. same time tonight? i have a fun idea i'd like to try. diary says we should be safe from monsters if we leave before 1 am. love, yukki

[ Yep. They're still together, though they've had more than their fair share of disagreements. But of course, he's talking about stargazing; since the clouds made looking at actual stars impossible, the next best thing was Floor Twelve. The destruction/Big Bang process was a little annoying (and just slightly disturbing), but it was a small gripe. He even went out of his way to find a pen and paper; he wants to dry drawing constellations they've been pointing out to each other. ]

Private to Akise & Tsubaki
hi guys. could be a byd. try to be careful not to mention me around her. sorry. try again tomorrow? - yukiteru

[ Yes. "BYD" stands for "Bad Yuno Day." Some days she's okay - particularly if the night before left her in a good mood - but other days... not so much. He's been left mostly estranged from them, but he makes every effort to hang out with them if he knows he'll (or more accurately, they'll get away with it. ]

Private to Tohko
i finished it, but it didn't really help. diary says it won't help either. sorry. - yukiteru

[ Sorry, Tohko. The book you suggested to him was a wash. He already (thinks he) put the book back in the library. ]

[ OOC: Permissions post relating to his Future Diary, in case you want to take him up on his offer. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

a little less than a month

[ There was a Christmas party that he remembers, too. Except the one he remembers isn't the one she remembers. ]

..The one where I told you that Yuno stabbed me?

[Tohko's just making sure. There may have been a lot of Christmas parties in the future.]

... She stabbed you again?

That was almost four years ago...

No..she didn't. So you think four years have passed. Yukiteru..only about a month has passed since then. This is another experiment that the Administrators have set up.

W-What? [ His Diary wouldn't tell him about it, so there's no way to disprove her. Stranger things have happened here. ]

T-Then... all of that with Yuno...

Yes..it was all just an illusion. A false memory. I'm sorry..this really is cruel, even for the Administrators.

... i don't want to believe that. i can't.

I'm sorry..I know the truth is painful in this case..but it's the truth nonetheless.

[ there's a long time before he can answer again. ]

please don't tell yuno

I won't..but she'll eventually find out about this experiment somehow. You had better tell her, Yukiteru.

i think it would be better if i didn't, honestly. it would show her that i never left her.

And you haven't left her. Time just hasn't gone as fast as you think it has. That's all.

that's the point. i want her to know i won't. this is proof.

It's not proof! It's just an illusion. This will just make her sad once the illusion breaks and she realizes that it was all a lie. Wouldn't it be better if she got over it sooner rather than later?

she could get angry and do something violent

Maybe..but at who? I don't think she would attack you directly, and she wouldn't go after anyone else, since the residents aren't the one causing this.

you of all people should know what she's capable of by now

I know perfectly well what she's capable of. However, I'm just wondering where her violence will go to if you tell her, assuming she'll act violent about this in the first place.

i'd rather do something that has a chance of keeping her happy than do something that will definitely make her angry

I can see why..but she'll eventually find out that her memories of four years are an illusion, which means that her getting angry is inevitable.

i can tell her that i had the same memories. she might see it as proof that i do love her.

..Or someone else might reveal that you were both under the illusion. The same thing has happened to Haldir and Legolas.

and what happened?

Legolas is willing to accept the possibility that they might be under an illusion. However, Legolas isn't really a good example for Yuno.

Besides, even if you guys have been in an illusion, you're still together. You still love each other. That hasn't changed, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with telling her.

... i'll see then. i want to wait until tonight.

Alright then. Good luck!
