This whole thing, it's been reminding me of the field studies my other self would be sent on. We'd get sent to these towns and did tasks to help the locals. But we weren't given much supervision while doing it. The teacher told us: "Put your heads together and think, and I'm sure you'll see what you need to do." So we'd end up doing things not on the task list, like investigating a corrupt duke. As well as get better insight on the situation of these towns, which I think paid off when something went really wrong in that world.
I can't help but think that Retrospec's trying to give us that same kinda insight. I don't know about the other two groups, but both of ours are trying to help against some spreading darkness or corruption right? What if...that's linked somehow to whatever destroyed our original worlds in the first place?
you know, i only figured that was the thing for our partner links, that’s what zee told me but i didn’t think about the rest there’s something spirit related to our group..... it reminded me of that train we fought in the tunnels not that this is all a good thing but
To be fair, the links were what made me start to think of it. There was something similar to that too in that world. Though not as invasive, thank goodness. But hmmm ... I wonder if the train is connected somehow. Some of the monsters here have been corrupted by some dark energy. But I only pick up on it with that info spell. Too bad I can't use it long distance.
if you want me to list off everything that did i will
[ why not bombard you with the sacred list ]
maybe you should try it on the suspecting things you see where you are. if you haven’t already. i’ll tell you whatever we find about the wolves, too. what kind of links were they?
I've done it on a few things, but I'll keep doing it. And I'll definitely tell you what I find.
They were called Combat Links. It's hard to put into words, but it's like being aware of everything your link partner is doing and what they intend to do too. Even if you're far apart on a chaotic battlefield. The other me was being trained to fight while using them, I know that much.
Eheh, good point. If I ever figure it out, I'll let you know.
Yeah, it seemed really useful! Though it probably takes a great deal getting used to. Apparently my friends and I would practice outside of class to get a handle on it.
you want to hide it. could be because you don’t want to remember or because you don’t want other people to get the wrong idea. i guess it was both for me? i got my past dad’s glasses.
[There's a pause. He wants to inquire more, but Eren just said it was something he doesn't want to remember- so it'd be mean to force him to do so. It's probably go some real bad baggage if Eren's pushing it away. It made his own reason feel silly in comparison.]
I guess it's something like that... I dunno. The whole past memories thing is still confusing sometimes. I mean, I really do want to make sure they're all okay but...
[ elliot’s a sweetheart, but— eren wouldn’t have brought it up in the first place if he didn’t feel ready to talk about it. it took some months, but this mission . . .
his eyes are far more opened than they were. it has some ways to go, but he prefers it this way. ]
it’s hard to change how we feel over night. i don’t think so. i do it. a lot. why do you?
[Because okay, as much as he doesn't want to upset Eren by prying- that's also a weird way to phrase it
It's nice to hear Eren does resent it too. Makes him feel less like a terrible person]
Well, I'm sure they're nice people And none of this is their fault But I feel like I'm being set up to live some life I didn't choose all over again. I can't help but resent that a little.
i threw up on akira but he took me home and showed me magic tricks
[ HE’LL EXPLAIN BUT. good . . . end?????
but there’s a fair pause here. it’s the same thing— and he can’t help but to feel relief when this all bubbles up in his throat and . . . he’s not afraid to say it. ]
i need to tell you something i didn’t before because i needed to think about it and get to the conclusion on my own you gave me word last time, so i think it’s my turn

whoa
so you can just.... choose who you want to link with while fighting?
no subject
I remember being able to link with a couple friends in class.
But I don't think I can do it in this world.
Or at least, I haven't figured out how yet.
no subject
keep your eyes open for something new, you’re always getting spells
your magic always is but that’s really cool

if it’s anything like these links with our partners now you guys must’ve really trusted each other

Actually, I got a class photo from Retrospec.
Back in December.
no subject
that’s nice you know, my past time didn’t have pictures
does it have that nostalgic feeling?
no subject
I didn't show it before because I was kinda embarrassed...
no subject
no subject
Hold on, I have a copy of it in my phone.
[A moment later he'll send this photo that looks like a phone photo taken of an actual physical old photo.
Minus the copyright stuff of course]no subject
you’re embarrassed because you were happy?
no subject
Ha...ha...
Yeah, it DOES sounds silly when you put it that way.
no subject
it’s alright to get good things from then
I’D want those
as long as we don’t forget about here, you taught me that
and honestly..... i did the same thing with mine
for a different reason but it’s sort of the same thing at the core
no subject
Don't worry, I'm not forgetting about here.
Though it does make feel a little better to hear you say that...
Huh? What core is that?
no subject
you want to hide it. could be because you don’t want to remember or because you don’t want other people to get the wrong idea. i guess it was both for me?
