Good day, Garden. I've recently made a discovery that I thought might be of use to some of you, so I'm graciously sharing it here for the good of the general populace.

Should you find that your relationship with a person has become overburdened with negative feelings and social missteps, there's a simple way of rectifying the matter. All one needs to do is send a handful of close companions back to their own worlds, much like mailing in the correct number of cereal boxtops, and you'll soon see the difficult person sent on their way as well.

Oh, I can hear you crying out in indignation now - you don't believe that this solves anything. Let me take the time to add that soon after their departure you'll be graced with the person's return, albeit without any memory of having ever set foot in this universe. You'll be presented with a blank slate, one which you're free to mold to your whims and manipulate away from the unsavory original situation with your memories of the past. Rather useful, don't you think?

As to how you should be expected to scrounge up the human price tag given the notorious temperamental nature of Time Compression, I have more excellent news. It seems that I have the innate ability to dismiss the people I come into contact with back into the ether with almost clockwork precision. Simply send your sacrifices my way and I'll do my best to exile them with the least amount of conversations possible.

I should warn you that I haven't quite mastered this power just yet; my endeavors may simply send another person spiraling into a coma, which really only counts as half payment in this scenario. Still, I believe that it's worth the risk to give it a try.

If you'd like to engage my services just leave a note here and I'll work out a schedule with you promptly. It isn't as if I have anyone else to occupy my time these days.


[and despite the vitriol and passive-aggression nearly reaching critical mass in that post, Rose doesn't really feel any better. if anything, it made her want to scream even more.]

[ Shiro's raised two sons, he knows to read beyond the literal wording. Normally, he'd likely discourage such emotional outlashings. For this situation? He feels the reaction is appropriate. ]

Is it really true that people that return here have no memories of what happened? This time compression really does resemble the second magic.

I digress, that does sound rather useful and you would be a fool to neglect to use that advantage to it's full potential.

It's not always true, no. I left and came back, and my memory was fine.

[Ohhhh dear. :c]

Of course. I may attempt to do so.

I suppose if solitude is what you want that is a good thing.

*Sion's had a huge dose of solitude in her life and now that she has friends she'd have to say that she prefers that. But hey, not everyone is her.*

This is a curious development in deed. Would you mind telling me more about this instance in detail?

[identity profile] turnip-rage.livejournal.com 2011-10-16 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Not much to be said, really. One day I was here, then I was back home. I stayed back at home for a while, then suddenly I was outside of Deling.

Were you sent back into your own past, your own future, or was it around the same time as when you came here?

[identity profile] turnip-rage.livejournal.com 2011-10-16 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Same time.

That's actually part of why I don't want to go home anymore. Something bad happened the second time I left - going back to the same time as that will actually kill me.

That is a curious action for the mastermind to take.

*Sion's thinking about the fact that thanks to her being teleported her, one of her friends might be dead right now. She won't talk about that out loud though because she's a fairly private person.*

[It took her a while - mainly because Rose didn't sign her BBS post and so she had to ask an instructor about the ID number - but she does eventually leave a large platter of cookies by Rose's door.]

[Nope, no bile intended. Cissie slowly steps from her hiding place and offers Rose a nervous smile.]

Um... okay, so this is funny since I was totally the one in your bathroom a long time ago, but... consider it my apology? And my condolences?

Most of my friends're gone too.

Not between you and me, but between Compression and everyone around here. [She shakes her head, smiling even more brightly.] I know saying that you're not alone isn't really going to help, but...

I'm sorry, Rose. Let me know if you're ever in the mood for practice in the Training Center.
