1st Bark [Action] because who can read anyways journals are useless etc

[dogboy]

[With the influx of New Feathers, no one's probably noticed this boy rolling on the ground trying to bite his wings. In the snow. With only those bare amount of clothes. And failing. S'hard being a human.

Once he finds out he can't though, he's reduced to being cold and miserable and sticking by the edge of the forest near the school because he sees all these humans and does not want to interact with them, so obviously the best way to go about this is to wait until it's not so light outside and then go look for someplace warm. And to stay away from those people. Yes, perfect.

The journal's pretty much abandoned beside the tree he's pressing against in some effort of being warm there is a reason he has never gone any place cold in his canon and that is because he is 1. under-dressed for it and 2. from a tropical island. Good luck trying to talking to him or anything though, because he's pretty distrustful of anything remotely human.]

...That's something that neither we nor the Malnosso control. It may be the world itself - people come and go at random. Some people stay for only a month or two. I've been here for a year.

[dogboy]

[That sounds horrible.]

So I could be here forever..?

[antlioncyclone]

I doubt it. I think the record is only a few years - three, maybe...and that's two people at most out of the hundreds that have ever been here.

[dogboy]

Hundreds, wow... Don't other people notice if they're missing that long? [Not that anyone would notice Chien being missing beside Lady Mathias and his brothers - if they weren't around - but still.]

[antlioncyclone]

That's the other thing about these many worlds. People here are from many points in time, the pasts and futures of their worlds - and the moment you leave your world is the same moment you return. That's what everyone says.

[dogboy]

... Oh. [He's going to be sad later when he realizes this means that his Lady Mathias doesn't have the Manifest--]

That's pretty weird.

[antlioncyclone]

[shrug.]

What's weirder is that we get used to it.

[sigh...]

[dogboy]

I wonder... if I meet someone from the future and they tell me something, can I remember it?

[antlioncyclone]

...I don't know about that.

[dogboy]

It's too hard to think about anyway. [Instantly gone from his mind, yup.]

[antlioncyclone]

[...haha. Shrug.]

That's Luceti. I hope you don't have too hard a time with it.

[dogboy]

I'll look for you if I do, all right?

[antlioncyclone]

[...standing up straight and dignified! This is an admission of trust, and needs to be treated seriously.]

Of course.

[dogboy]

[Oh uh DOING THE SSSSAME YES.]

Then I'll count on you, friend.

[antlioncyclone]

[...now what do I handshake or pat him on the head or what

let's go with handshake

shake?]

[dogboy]

[oh whoa what is

oh uh

yes let's do the same.

shake!!]
