The Story Thus Far:

The Once-ler has successfully freed Martel Yggdrasil from captivity, bringing her to the woods for safety. Martel, afraid of the retribution this might bring, pleaded Once-ler to tell no one that she has escaped. Once-ler then returned to the Resistance, only telling Ino about what had happened. Martel meanwhile traveled the woods alone until she met up with Zack Fair, the now embittered mercenary that's been doing what he can to stay alive and free in this setting.

However it wasn't as though Martel's disappearance went without notice. Mithos noticed his sister's absence and has set out all stops to find her. Whether or not you know of Martel's release, it's hard not to notice the larger number of angels around - even if some appear less than intimidating. Because of this, the small traveling group of Zelos Wilder, Arya Stark and Genis Sage have decided to travel to the mountains to use the stronger winds for safe haven from any lifeless angels until they can stronger.

Meanwhile back in the Resistance, efforts to fight back still persist. The inventors are having struggles in creating better keycrests for their loved ones that have been transformed into angels. In the less tech part of the Resistance, Tsuna and Allen continued their efforts to revert angels back to their former selves. They were successful in converting Mithos's former assassin Sheena, but due to some mishaps Maladict escaped from their attempts.

Oh and Garry moped.

With all these different teams going on, what will be the next thing to occur? Will things turn in favor to the Resistance, or will it only get worse? Will Garry ever stop moping? Will any of you remember to use the damn journal? Only time will tell...

[OOC: This post has two services, first as a recap as you seen above, as well as a mass open post for all the on-goings you rather not make an entire post for! Feel free to use this post as such or simply make your own post in the comm, it matters not! As for amount of time, while the game is very flexible we'll set it to be still a few days after the staring point of the game cause why not]

I still don't regret it for a second. You can tell me how stupid it was until you run out of breath, but I still say it was the right thing to do.

But then again, one would question why it hasn't changed since you got here. I mean, if the gravity is different there and it's different here, you should be,, like, floating or goodness knows what else, and-

[A pause.]

Sorry, I'm rambling again...

But you won't hurt anyone anymore, right? You're you again. I mean, unless you like hurting people in your spare time, which I'm sure you don't, then you won't do that out of the blue

And yes, I do. I forgive you, because...because I get it. I know what it was like, and we shouldn't let that trouble us, okay?

[And at the word, he is taken aback, but he just lets out a sigh. It's not like he's ever heard that word directed to him before.]

Am I...

Hmmm.

[He thinks about that for a moment]

So you can protect yourself, right? If you really are one...

[She sighs at that. Of course he doesn't regret it.] Have you come here for this? [She pats the pocket again.]

Yes, yes I can. Don't worry about me, Garry. [She gives him a reassuring smile.] I'll be fine.

[Oop, time to talk about the seed. He shuffles his feet a little, guilty for not telling her about it sooner]

You found it, huh?

...About me floating.

Garry, you spend way too much time out here. It's not good for your mental wellbeing.

[Buries his face in his hands again.]

Boy, if I had a penny for every time I told myself that...

Yes. [She pauses.] ...It's a truffula seed, right? And you've had it all this time?

... That's even more terrible. ... [he shudders] ... Does it hurt ...?

[There's a long pause. So long, in fact, that Lemony might think that Garry hasn't heard the question. But suddenly he speaks, and there's nothing sad and worried in his tone. It's just hard and level, as if he's brushing against a thorn in his side that is still sore after all this time.]

Oh, it does. It really, really does. And then you're lucky in a way, because you don't feel any of it anymore after a few days, but then it keeps going, and going, and...

[He frowns, his mouth a thin line.]

Basically...I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Sometimes, you wish you were killed instead, because that, at least, would be easier, faster, but no, you're just stuck in this...this never-ending torture for a few days as you become something you never wanted to become.

[And he shakes his head and turns away, trying to hide the utter melancholy that he got every time he thought about it.]

...I'm sorry. I-I shouldn't have elaborated on that. It's horrible enough as it is, but what's done is done.

Maybe you should do the talking to more people thing.

...And when the hermit is telling you that, you know you really need it.

It's not just any Truffula seed. It's the last Truffula seed. The one that Ted will plant in the future to bring the trees back.

...And yeah. I've had it since I came here.

...So you've had it all this time. [She gives him a small smile.] So there was some hope after all.

I don't know about that. It's not like I can plant it here.

But-- After what I did--

[She's still trying to wrap her mind around this whole forgiving thing.]

He's not here...

[Who ever can she be referring to?]

Yes, forgiving me is not right.

[She hasn't been able to do it for herself yet.]

But you know that it will be planted, someday. When you go back.

I already told you. [He offers her a smile] You're not the first and you won't be the last. It's fine, really.

...Well, not exactly when I go back.

[She's a stubborn one, remember? Even about this.]

[She lets her head fall back against the rock wall.]

Everyone's being too nice to me, but Once-ler... [With him, it's different. He's a friend from before.] Thank you.

Well, we're not about to beat you witch sticks or anything if that's what you were expecting.

[He gives a shrug, trying to brush the kindness off] It's okay.

Well, if I didn't want to bother you guys, sure! You always seem so busy, I'd just rather be out of your hair more than anything.

[A huff.] You're not really a hermit, you know. You live among people now, that's the last thing I could call you at the moment.

I'm more of a hermit than anything...

Hey I keep to my own little spot in the cave. That's about as much of a hermit as I can get without coming out here and I'm pretty sure Ino won't let me do that.

...And we're not too busy. For you. You know. [ Friendship is hard stop making him say these things]
