[Ryotarou appears on the Plane, hand poised behind his back. His expression is nervous, but hopeful. He takes a breath... and pulls out the Zeronos belt. He grins widely at this final sign that things are back to normal.]

It looks like it's all over. Completely, now.

(ooc: So... yes. Crow's getting swamped in schoolwork and everything, so we decided to end the experiment early. Everything is back to the way it should be, with slight mergers between the two involved and, of course, the absorbed mannerisms. Hope you guys had fun. ♥)

[Even the oblique mention has him closing his eyes to force the images away.] That's why I can't...

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

. . . You and I must have different viewpoints in that case.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[He glances away.] I suppose so.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

[crossing his arms, and only partially joking] You could at least try taking a nap, you know.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

A nap? ... Why?

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

If you're not going to take a breather, you can at least get some rest.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Isn't that the same thing?

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Sort of! But not entirely. 'Cause you see, if you take a nap, that isn't a show of weakness, yeah? Just means you're tired. But if you sit around -- well, I suppose that just looks a bit lazy. See?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

But... I'm not.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Maybe not, but the truth of the matter is, you're gonna need a time-out eventually.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Didn't we already go over that part?

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

We did, yeah, but I just like attempting to drive my point home with words and a fair amount of repetition.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

I already got it. [shrugs a little.]

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Got it, maybe, but doesn't seem as though you've embraced it, eh?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

I already agreed to wind down once the Imagin are gone. [It's not like he'll have anything better to do.]

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Which could be anywhere between today and several years from now, mate.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

I doubt it'll take years.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Maybe not. Months, then.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

That seems more likely.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Seems a long way away, you know.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... but then it will all be over.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

. . . You're really stubborn about this, you know?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Small smile, and a headtilt.] Sorry.

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

Reckon I ought to be used to it by now, given the people I work with. Still, can't help but think these sorts of things'd just be solved with a heavy blow from a cricket bat.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... ehhh?
