[Morning finds Emil lugging a bulging knapsack up the road to the bridge near CH #1, the ends of what look like a couple of glass bottles sticking out of it. Whatever is inside it seems to be rather heavy-- he has to stop every few yards to rest, but he's determined to make it to his destination despite this.

Once he gets to the bridge, he unzips the knapsack and begins unpacking the contents. Inside is a whole array of glass bottles, each one containing a letter addressed to a friend who has left Luceti. Richter, Marta, Tenebrae, Horatio, Luke, Faize, Lloyd, Genis-- each one of them (as well as several other people) gets a letter. He figures that with all of the creepy supernatural stuff going on lately, maybe, just maybe, if he drops these bottles into the stream now, they'll somehow reach the intended recipients. It can't hurt to try, right? If nothing else, it might make him feel a little bit better about hearing voices and seeing things.

... or so he hopes.]

Yeah, all of mine are already in bottles. You can have as many of the extras as you want if you want to write to a whole bunch of people. I can even go back to the house and get more if we need them.

[Emil is somewhat of a sap; sentimental things come to him naturally, even if he does get embarrassed about it sometimes.]

Cool, I guess I'll just take one or two for now. Probably two to be safe, heh. Man, if these do make it home, at least our friends'll know where we are and how we're doin' too! Thanks!

[Bring on the sentimental stuff! It's cute! Sonic's not going to judge. ^^]

[And he'll hand over the pencil and two bottles so that Sonic can write his letters]

You're welcome; I just hope they really do reach everyone. That way, even if... even if they don't remember me, they'll at least know that I exist.

[He gladly took the pencil and bottles, and thanked him for them.]

Hey, I hear ya on that. I think it'd make anyone's day if they got a letter sayin' that someone out there cares 'bout them, right?

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah, and maybe it'll help jog their memory so they do remember being in Luceti.

Oh, man, wouldn't that be awesome? I know I'd want people to remember this place. Man, too much stuff has happened, and I wouldn't want it to just disappear.

I don't ever want to forget any of the friends I've met here, especially the ones I... the ones I might never see again. I want to make sure I remember them no matter what.

[blue-velocity.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know what you mean. If I hadn't ended up here, I wouldn't have met you or all my other friends! 'Think if we try hard enough, we'll remember. I'm not givin' up on that idea.

[knightofratatosk]

Neither am I. That way, when I get back to my world and see Richter again...

[He trails off, but the implication is obvious.]

[He smiled at that, knowing that the rest didn't need to be said. He gently put his hand on Emil's shoulder.]

We'll remember. We have to, and we will. I believe it!

[action]

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah.

[Truth is, he's not entirely sure he does, but it helps to have someone else who believes it too.]
