Open/Closed: Open mingle goooo!

[Copper, lizards, and vines - oh my! With the recent installation of 9S and co.'s scanning equipment and the also recent, significantly wetter rainstorms there's quite a lot to check out on the island right now. Plus, the monitor robot still needs a name. You're not going to leave them nameless forever, are you?

Too bad Genette's put out word that everyone's about to be moving location soon. That means these are the last days the coven has for a little while to get everything in order, whether it's to take things to the next destination or to leave them behind. Get your bags packed and your huts cleaned, everyone!]

... You really think so?

[she's not incredulous because she thinks Geir would lie to her. it's just not something she believes herself, not really.]

[rootandbranch]

Yeah, of course! Maybe it's not the same for humans, but I was really little when I'm born, and now I'm much bigger. So it makes sense that you're different than you used to be. I dunno if I'd go back either, but it wasn't... bad.

[if you can only be the kind of person you want to be if you're going to die, that seems... wrong to him, somehow. it's not a concept he can really articulate right now, but there's no way Madoka before she made her deal somehow deserved to die rather than continue existing as herself.]

[soulcomet]

[karma's sort of a funny thing, when it comes to Madoka Kaname. the only way to cheat death was to remove it — and herself, by use of a paradox — from the equation entirely.]

I guess ... even if I wanted to go back, I'm not sure how I would do it.

[Geir looks up at the stars showing themselves brightly over the ocean. when he speaks, his words come slowly.]

I think that Qri did something she may not have even understood when she brought us all here. Or, maybe she did. It's something I want to ask her.

[soulcomet]

What do you mean?

[rootandbranch]

There are all kinds of people here, from all kinds of places. I think... things that each of us never thought about before might be possible.

...it's kind of scary...

[soulcomet]

You're right. I guess the rules back home don't really matter much here, do they?

[she thinks on that for a minute.]

If that's the case, then ... maybe neither of us have anything to worry about.

[rootandbranch]

...I think I'm worried about some of the same things as you. Like-- if I can be different enough that it matters, from what I'm really like. And I don't... know if I'll be able to?

But I want to keep-- learning, and deciding. I don't want to say "I can't" yet...

[he ducks his head at that last, voice going very low; it's a heavy topic for him, and he can barely get the words out at that last. but the whisper is sincere, even though he's looking down at his claws clenching and unclenching on the sand instead of at Madoka.]
