004: Valentine's Distractions (Video; un: caster)

[colchismagecraft]

[It had been something of a tradition, whilst Caster was on Avalon, to spend Valentine's Day pestering the Network with whatever random questions crossed her mind for discussion. It was a distraction, for her. A way to avoid thinking about what date it was and how far away she was from the one person she wished to spend it with-

And she seemed to have taken Oryou's advice and- whilst she was still in her creepy witch cloak- was not hidden away in a shadowy room. Instead, she seemed to be hanging around outside the Welcome Centre when she began her broadcast.]

Good evening, Ellipsa.

For those I haven't met yet, I go by Caster, here.

A question, if you are tired of the day's festivities and willing to humour me... if you could travel anywhere you wished, in any world, right at this moment, where would you go to?

...But if that is too personal for you, then tell me about your favourite myths or legends from home. It is always interesting for me to see how these things differ across the worlds.

[Huuuuuug.]

Friends are supposed to know each other.

[colchismagecraft]

[It was very much appreciated! Medea held onto her tight, a small smile coming into her face at the comment.]

Yes... perhaps you're right.

...Today is...it's difficult. You understand, don't you? I wish my magic was enough to bring them both here.

[kerontribution]

Oryou wishes that too. This is a long time to be separated from her husband.

[Maybe not for a dragon's lifespan, but for her in her own circumstances - it's a long time.]

[colchismagecraft]

It is far too long... far, far too long. It hurts- and you've been stuck in this place longer than I have, haven't you?

[Squeeze]

[kerontribution]

Oryou's been here for a year now.

[Gentle squeeze in return.]

Oryou wants to meet your Master someday.

[colchismagecraft]

I'd like to introduce you...and I want to meet your Husband, too.

...Shall we go inside and find somewhere comfortable to sit down?

[kerontribution]

Yes please. Oryou wants to cuddle now.

[colchismagecraft]

[Caster reached to take Oryou's hand in both of her's, gently tugging her in and over to the sofa. There we go, much more comfortable.]

...It is cruel of this world to separate us from them so callously.

[Huuuuug]

[kerontribution]

[Wrapping her arms around Caster to squeeze her close.]

It doesn't matter how nice this place is. If the people we love aren't here, we'll miss them all the time.

[colchismagecraft]

[A slow, deep breath, as she settled into Oryou's arms.]

Indeed... and without them, it is difficult to truly see this world as home.

[The word 'home' was heavy. Something she desperately wished for, something so far away, something so fragile it was all she could do to hold the pieces close lest they shatter.]

[kerontribution]

Home is where they are. If they're not here it's not home.

[It's as simple as that. No matter how long she spends here, her home is at Ryouma's side.]

[colchismagecraft]

Exactly that.

...I don't care how many of these wretched worlds I have to search- I will find him. I can't stand the thought of never seeing him again...!

[kerontribution]

Oryou hopes you find him. She wants you to be happy.

[Medea is a friend, and that means she deserves happiness, no matter what.]
