Rome, Italy Thursday Evening Fandom Time

glacial_queenEven in Kaeleer, Karla made sure to keep a Fandom-based calendar handy, so she could keep track of things like friends' birthdays and things like that. A few days ago, she'd noted another anniversary was coming up, but not one as fun or exciting as a birthday.
Thursday, May 10th, was the day that Triela had died, last year. Funny how it felt like both more and less than that long. Funny how much it still hurt, an ache in her heart she doubted would ever go away.
After seeing that, Karla had made a fewhandwavy calls to people, friends of hers and Triela's that she thought might want to join her sojourn back to Italy. Unsurprisingly, several people had already made separate plans to do just that, but didn't mind combining those plans with hers. Karla couldn't speak for everyone, of course, but she was sure that very few people wanted to go back and remember their friend alone.
For once, Portalocity was willing to work with her, and she was able to set up several portals to meet in Rome for Thursday afternoon and a return set for late Thursday evening. Hopefully that would give everyone time to...do whatever they needed to do today.
[For any friends of Triela's who want to meet up. If you think you'd've gotten a phone call, you absolutely did.Give a sec for OCD. NFB, NFI]

"Worry about you. Do you think she'd be happy seeing you this way?"

Date: 2012-05-13 04:44 am (UTC)Arms folded, Momoko glared at him hard enough that he probably felt it. "If you think she's gone, if she's nowhere and doesn't exist anymore, then stop acting like you're giving up! If you believe like that, then there's totally nothing to give up."
Re: Gather by the Grave
Date: 2012-05-13 06:58 pm (UTC)Okay. So he didn't really have a good explanation that didn't sound like giving up.

Date: 2012-05-14 03:34 am (UTC)"You're acting like this because deep down you hope she'll somehow know. But you don't want to admit it even now."
She growled under her breath as she turned away. "I still totally don't see what Triela saw in you."

Date: 2012-05-14 03:50 am (UTC)Momoko took a deep breath and turned to look at him. "And I'm not talking about how you look. Everything Triela did was to make you look good. What are you doing for returns? The least you could do is talk to her."

Date: 2012-05-14 04:15 am (UTC)And as for the debt... "Every minute you continue shaming her, Hilshire," -no mister, he didn't deserve that right now- "the weight of that debt gets heavier."
