[ The camera is covered, but Joshua is making no real effort to disguise his handwriting. He's too upset for that. ]

What should you do if you're so homesick you honestly, truly cannot stand it?

[ A few minutes later, the following is added. ]

[ Locked to Haruhi - 100% ]

The friendship club might have to wait a bit longer.

Have you been here that long to know, or it's just that difficult?

[written]

[neverplaysfair]

Unfortunately, both.

[written]

[hiken_ace]

No luck?

[written]

[neverplaysfair]

I was lucky enough to have someone who could support me as long as I did. I never truly appreciated that fact while he was still here.

[written]

[hiken_ace]

He may come back.

And in case he doesn't are there people here from your world help you?

[written]

[neverplaysfair]

He's not here now.

Those who are still here help a little, but they only have the power to do so much.

[written]

[hiken_ace]

Is there anything I could help with?

[written]

[neverplaysfair]

I highly doubt it. Especially if you're not from my world.

[written]

[hiken_ace]

Depends on what it is.

[neverplaysfair]

Do the words "Reaper's Game" mean anything to you?

[written]

[hiken_ace]

No, I'm afraid not.

[written]

[neverplaysfair]

Then you don't have the power to help me.

[written]

[hiken_ace]

[A pause before he replies.]

I'm sorry.

[written]

[neverplaysfair]

Me too. [ He really, really does wish that someone could help him. It hurts to have to turn down so many people who seem to honestly want to help. ]

[hiken_ace]

Could you tell me about the Reaper's Game?

[written]

[neverplaysfair]

[ ... Well. The main point of the post being anonymous was so that no one who didn't know him would be able to connect it to him if they happened to pass him in the village. So even if he gives out this information, the only ones who'd now be able to tell it's him have already met him. ]

It's a week-long game from my world where the dead are given a chance to come back to life. It's run by those known as Reapers, and they try to keep the participants from surviving for a week. If they last through all seven days, they get to return to the world of the living.

[He pauses for a while to read over that, and then tihnk of a proper response. This game.....it seemed a little twisted, but it gave people a second chance at life.]

You're homesick because of this game?

[written]

[neverplaysfair]

Indirectly. Primarily, I haven't found another set of worlds outside those similar to mine which posses a Reaper's Game.

[written]

[hiken_ace]

It's that important to you, then?

[written]

[neverplaysfair]

In a way, I suppose it is.

[written]

[hiken_ace]

I see. I'm sorry I couldn't be of any help.
