11th book; another three years older {video/action for saffron}

What has it been, a year and... eight months? Well, seven. And yet I have aged three years in that time. {A sigh.} It’s good to know that this place makes as little sense as ever.

. . .

Tell me Johto, Kanto, have you ever heard the Legend of Tanabata? It is an old tale, and like all good stories, contains both love and heartbreak. It seems to be a particularly favoured theme, to be quite honest, as it pops up again and again throughout the myths and legends of all cultures. {She smiles, and she looks at peace, contented.} It’s my birthday today – well, not just mine. Crow Hogan, I hope you have a wonderful day, and that you enjoy your presents.

One hundred and forty years... It sounds impossibly old, doesn’t it? Ah, but I am so young compared to some of my colleagues back home. Happy Tanabata, everyone.

{She can be found wandering around Saffron today, just chilling and enjoying the lovely weather.}

I can't say I've ever heard it, no.

Ah, and it's your birthday? Congratulations.

Oh? It's from your world then, I take it?

Of course, though I must say, I certainly would never have guessed your age.

It must be quite the tale, then, to have lasted that long, I imagine.

Though I'm afraid I'm not familiar with what a "shinigami" is, either...

I suppose that makes sense. They tend to be the sort of stories that give people hope, after all.

Ah, I've never heard of anything like that... It sounds like it must be quite the task.

Or at least, imagining themselves in one of the happy lovers' shoes, I imagine.

Oh?

Ah, well, I can imagine that would be...

Well, I suppose if it's possible to get used to the idea of keeping various animals in balls and using them to battle each other...

At least there's some degree of logic to what you describe, even if it sounds rather strange...

Well, if you assume that things like the human soul exist in the first place, it's not that much of a stretch to imagine other related things existing...

*...that, and his own world is even more messed up than that*

Oh? But don't most worlds at least have legends of things like gods and demons? Even here, some of the legends of certain pokemon...

*good luck getting him to ever talk about it, or at least give the whole truth :Db*

[personal profile] dreamsofahero 2012-07-16 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, that's an interesting way to put it...

But even so, having heard stories like that, is it really so hard to imagine?

Do people really think of it like that....?

Well, I know some people believe in various sorts of pleasant afterlifes, but the way you described it...
