[ he can kind of see, a little, so at the very least he can tell that brimstone's hair is theoretically a different color. ]

I thought that you were all able to see things on this side. [ curiously. he watches the chao play with the corgis with an amused look.

he is staying. far away from the corgis, for the record. ]

[foreverphantom]

[ lol. ]

Oh, we were. But it's different to actually see it in person. We got most of the same places you all did, eventually, but not this train.

[fried]

I see. What was it like there?

[ curiously... ]

[foreverphantom]

Everyone woke up in a cage hanging over a pool of red water. There was this chao-centric kindergarten. And then a bunch of gates to other places--mostly the same locations you had, but with a few things switched up.

Also, we immediately had our powers back. Not at full strength, but better than nothing.

[fried]

[ goes ??? ]

A cage hanging over a pool of red water...? [ the fuck ] I imagine you've enjoyed having your powers.

[foreverphantom]

In some ways, it was better than being on this side.

But now we get to keep our powers here too, so it's not as bad.

I am going to miss watching people fall into the water, though.

[fried]

Of course you are. [ vaguely amused. ]

[ folds his arms. ]

I was told you missed me.

[foreverphantom]

[ ALARM. ]

What?! Who said that?!

[fried]

[ he is SO amused. ]

I actually have no idea. It was sent to me as an unaddressed letter.

[foreverphantom]

[ hisses ] Coward.

[fried]

Even if it wasn't, I wouldn't have told you. I don't intend to encourage more violence.

[foreverphantom]

Well, they were lying.

[ emotionshare says that it was true, actually, ]

[fried]

[ hehe. ]

I don't believe you! [ cheerfully. ] I missed you too, despite your very awful letters aimed to get a rise out of me.

[foreverphantom]

A terrible and incomprehensible choice on your part.

[fried]

I am known for making terrible choices.

[foreverphantom]

Yeah, good luck getting redeemed after deciding to miss me, of all people.

[fried]

I'm sure I've done quite enough to balance out whatever that is worth.

[ a beat, then: ]

I'm of half a mind to force you to apologize to the people you were terrorizing, but I think you would not be sincere in doing it.

[foreverphantom]

[ scoffs ] I've been dead and isolated from all of you, who have I been terrorizing?

[fried]

The other dead, so I hear. There were more of you than us, by the end of things.

[foreverphantom]

Hear from who?! I've barely done anything! I didn't even kill Firefly!

[fried]

Calm down.

[ tail swish. ]

You did tell me that. Again, I'm not giving names. And I can only tell you what I've heard - you'll have to fill me in on the rest.

[foreverphantom]

Hmph. Whatever. It's what I'm best at anyway, I should just embrace it.

[fried]

No.

[ thwacks him with his fan on the arm. not hard, just enough. ]

You should not. [ ... ] You do seem less angry.

[foreverphantom]

[ shrugs a shoulder ] Having even some of my powers back helped keep me sane.

...that, and even I can't sustain nonstop rage for that long.

[fried]

You certainly seemed ready to try.

Tell me about your powers? What can you do?
