_{[It's ass o'clock in the night sometime, and apparently Wrath the network's resident Mystery Misspeller has been doing a lot of thinking. He may be breaking his cover a bit here... but he can't keep ignoring the inevitable.]}

IF you had nott seen yor frends fore a very long tym, onle to encountr them HERE in this world....... wat would u do???

this kwestion may seem obvius but i shold add that these frends and i were not vary good to each other

thyngs we did tto each other:

-KILLING
-SHOOTING (WITH GUN)
-STABBING
-HITTING AND KICKING REPETEDLY
-SAYING MEAN THING'S
-LYING

_{[While it won't be immediately evident when the post goes up, it should be noted that Wrath pauses here. Hm... he doesn't want to make it too obvious who he is. He needs to put some other stuff in there, to throw off the scent.]

[He opens PsyDuckDuckGo and types, painstakingly with his one hand that the touchscreen will actually register, "LIST OF CRIMES"]}

-TRESPASSING
-MANSLAUGHTER
-FELONY TAX EVASION
-PUBLIC INDECENCY
-MONEY LAUNDERING
-GRAND THEFT AUTO
-CREDIT CARD FRAUD
-IDENTITY THEFT
-RESISTING ARREST
-ARSON

_{[LISTEN... HE HAS TO ASK!!]}

ya i guess that is diferent

i am not so worryd about meeting those i kill'd who were true enemys

_{[It's the complicated ones that are making his stomach knot into a pretzel, he couldn't care less about the occasional rando he was sicc'd on during his time as Dante's rabid attack dog. (Which, uh, maybe he should care a LITTLE more about that, but there's only so much shame and regret he can cram into his little skull, and it's already full to bursting).]}

i know this is a good place

but

it dosent feel like a place i am suposed to be

_{[He's not supposed to be anywhere, anymore.]}

wherever you think you're supposed to be doesn't really matter

this place is where you are

_{[It sure is where they are.]

[Deep down, and not even so deep down that he's not aware of it... he knows that's a good thing. That he loved this place. That he'd had a life here, and ONLY here. That maybe this would even be what his mother wanted for him... more than for him to join her.]

[But he'd spent so long with that as the only (literal OR figurative) light at the end of the tunnel in his heart, it's hard to accept the gift of a second chance.]}

i shold b grateful....

but its hard

living is v

very p

it just hurts

[Wow, this horse has really been through it, huh?]

[Although this is rapidly approaching very uncomfortable levels of personal for Envy when it comes to discussions with anonymous strangers! He is sort of holding the 'Gear like it's become radioactive, and does call out a very awkward "Luuuust? ....Heatherrr?" into the house. He's not sure if they're even around but...HELP. HE'S NOT THE GUY FOR THIS LEVEL OF EMOTIONAL SENSITIVITY.]

yeah it can

but you haven't been here very long

you don't need to be supposed to be here or be grateful. sometimes it's enough to just be alive

_{[This horse has been having a mental breakdown for like two years, thought he got to the end of it, and then woke up here and was shockingly still having it.]

[SORRY ENVY.]}

i realy dont want to be alive. but i donot hav a choyce, i know i have to b

_{[He looks over at the two Pokemon next to him on the sofa in the corner of the Violet Pokemon Center lobby. Son is curled up into a little ball, holding his bone like a teddy, and Bullet is sitting on him with her head tucked under her wing.]}

so i wil keep going

[This is not nearly as easy a situation for Envy to give advice about as "I'm clearly dehydrated". Or even "uh oh I've committed one million crimes what should I do?"]

[He is, in fact, historically really bad at giving advice about this.]

yeah definitely keep going

see if you can find your old friends

if they're not here you can make new ones people here love friendship

[THERE THERE???]

_{[Wrath hadn't even made this post intending to get help with the whole suicidal ideation thing... but well, here we are.]}

i am

not so worried about that

pepl r nicer here

_{[Most of the time, anyway.]

[But getting thrown out of buildings is a far more mild reaction to Wrath's everything than military manhunts and violence.]}

i will thynk about trying 2 find my old friends

i am still a litl afrayd i guess

Edited 2024-08-07 06:11 (UTC)

don't know what people were like where you're from, but they're nicer here than anything I've ever seen

even if you were all doing terrible things to each other before, maybe they're nicer too

this place rubs off on people

most ppl were bad i thynk

a few were nys

_{[Winry, mainly. Winry and her grandmother. They had both been very kind.]

[And the reborn Alphonse... when he wasn't busy hyperfixating on his alchemy, anyway.]

[And Mommy had tried. But he hadn't let her get close enough.]

[Thinking about any of them makes his stomach hurt.]}

there r more nys pepl here

and u r rite, mean pepl get nicer somtyms too

i supose i am 1 of those

[You and him both, traumatized mystery texter!]

[He wonders if he ought to ask for a description of whoever these people are...but nah. He's been kind of a hermit for a while, he probably wouldn't know 'em.]

yeah, you're not the only one

[He doesn't send his next message right away, waffles over actually hitting the button. A lot more than he had about telling this same person their brain was imminently going to turn into a raisin. Being nice! Is! Way harder than trolling! Thank Arceus for anonymous texting. Nobody's going to catch him being SINCERE to a RANDOM EVIL(?) HORSE!]

take the chance. it's worth it even if you've done [quick scroll back up to check the Crime List] felony tax evasion.

good luck

_{[Yeah it's fine you wouldn't know them Envy don't worry about it.]

[Likewise, it's a little bit before Wrath sends his own reply. It's not a long one... but it is in earnest. Despite not being particularly cut out for emotionally complex talks... Envy really hasn't done half bad. Especially in comparison to their first conversation after Wrath's previous arrival here in Johto.]}

thank u

_{[He's got a lot of food for thought.]}
