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.}

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

Oh?

True.

Oh, well - just knowing that you saved another soul from the hideous fate of being eaten by ever-hungry Hollows is a nice feeling.

*...blinks*

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

{She laughs a little.}

I know, it sounds really strange. But you get used to it.

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...

Precisely my point!

{Yaaaay someone gets it ;u;!}

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

It took me a few years to wrap my head around it the first time I heard about it, so you're doing quite well.

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*

It's usually quite a shock to most humans I know, so.

{She's beginning to wonder what his world was like, now.}

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*

Most people don't believe in them any more - well, the living ones don't. Those who are dead, well. We're living it.

{One day!!!}

Ah, that's an interesting way to put it...

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

For the living, it's a shock. They think the afterlife is a wonderful, delicate place where everything is rainbows and butterflies and sunshine. It's pretty much the opposite.
