Morgan seems to have returned to her homeland. That, or she's discovered an impressive new method for becoming invisible in the last week or so. I suspect the former.

I'd like to hope that perhaps she may learn more about her past, now that she may be among those who knew her before her arrival here.

For what it's worth, I don't know of any invisibility spells that last longer than an hour at a time.

[ But they both know that's not what's happened here. ]

I think, if Morgan was here to read that message, she'd be really touched.

[neverfinishanyth]

You have an advantage over me, as I do not know of any invisibility spells at all.

I'd like to hope so, as well.

[necrodentia]

I don't know much about what sort of world Morgan is returning to, but I hope it has the answers she's looking for.

[neverfinishanyth]

And, if it does not, that she can at least find new questions to ask.

[necrodentia]

Exactly!

In the meantime, we'll just have to continue on here and try to live in a way she'd be proud of. ...Or, at least amused by.

[neverfinishanyth]

I think we can manage that, yes.

[necrodentia]

I'm going shopping later, to buy some more supplies for the Pokemon that Morgan left me. Do you want me to pick up anything for you?

[neverfinishanyth]

I've become fond of those little cans of lemonade they sell, if you wouldn't mind.

[necrodentia]

You got it! Little cans of lemonade it is! I'll bring some by your room once I'm back.

[neverfinishanyth]

Thank you, my friend.

[lifebloomsanew]

It's always bittersweet like that, isn't it? When someone returns home.

[neverfinishanyth]

Yes, it does feel that way. Perhaps it will hurt less, with time.

[lifebloomsanew]

It does. The hurt feels further away after time.

But we still miss them. My son's been gone home over a year and I still miss him.

[neverfinishanyth]

I'm sorry. It must be very difficult, some times.

[lifebloomsanew]

It's alright. I miss him but I know he's with family that loves him.

That helps.

[neverfinishanyth]

I'd imagine so. It's best to look on the bright side in times like these.

[lifebloomsanew]

It certainly does! So many people talk about how hard it is to lose people here, how it's always unexpected...

But isn't that how it always is? We never know when we're going to lose someone.

[neverfinishanyth]

Exactly. There's no use worrying about it, if it's something that can't be helped.

[lifebloomsanew]

I think maybe it's just human nature to worry like that.

[neverfinishanyth]

It's very possible. Human nature's just about as complicated as any other kind of nature.

[lifebloomsanew]

Oh no. Human nature is much more complicated than most other kinds!

Humans are one of the most complicated and amazing things in the universe.

[neverfinishanyth]

I don't know if I'd say that. Have you seen birds in flight?

That's a shame. She was a lot of fun on the few occasions we had to hang out. I was hoping to teach her more tactics...

I kind of suspected as much, considering these pokémon that showed up out of nowhere. I definitely recognized Bolganone and Erade, but a couple of the others are new to me.

[neverfinishanyth]

Yes, I suddenly seem to have a few more birds than the last time I checked.

[strikesachord]

I'm sorry your friend's gone. I didn't know her, but I do know how hard it is to stay behind.

You know, I'd been wondering how people might get home lately. No one seems to know a way to make it happen, so I guess it just happens, huh?

[neverfinishanyth]

Yes, that seems to be the case. It's how I arrived here, at least, so I suspect we all leave the same way.

[strikesachord]

I guess that makes sense. It'd be nice to be warned, though, eh?

It's definitely hard knowing friends could vanish at any time, but I suppose the best thing to do about it is enjoy them while they're here.

[neverfinishanyth]

Yes, I agree. A little warning would be nice. I suppose there must be some sort of tell, but I would need to do a little more studying to be able to say for certain.

[strikesachord]

I don't know, maybe. It seems like a lot of people are getting taken by surprise with this lately, though. If there is a tell, it must not be all that obvious.

[neverfinishanyth]

Sometimes things are unknown because that is the way they are, but other things are unknown only because we have not found the answer yet. I am certain there must be some hidden truth behind why we appear and disappear from here, but it is very, very well hidden so far.

[strikesachord]

You know, I guess I've experienced a few things like that. Things that seemed to be a certain way just because, but there turned out to be more to it.

So yeah, I think you're right. Well, probably! And if we could find that truth, we might be able to figure out how to influence the comings and goings, right?

[neverfinishanyth]

Exactly! And in the meantime, we can learn many other things about our pokemon friends.

[strikesachord]

There's certainly no shortage of things to learn about 'em!
