CMO for Mock Murder R2

[guardingthelight]

This is the callout post for anyone (with original Eraqus' contact info) to reach out to him.

He's currently only available via phone (text/call/possibly video), and might eventually answer most any text. He will answer phone calls from just about anyone. I welcome spontaneous texts for this one, too. There's no need to plot much of anything out, for this, especially if it's a simple message.

I'll update this as things change, especially if/when he becomes available as an in-person hangout.

[ .... oh.

It's a lot to take in, even if she guessed some of it. But seeing it all written out like this, from him... It makes her heart ache for him. It's a while before he receives a reply. ]

I suppose "an intense dream" makes some sense.

But... For what it's worth, I didn't think you would blame him. Though I think... it's more than understandable, the way you feel. No one would ever want to feel like they're replaced... or I wouldn't, at least.

It's okay to let yourself feel sad, or whatever you feel. I've had to learn that myself.

[ ... It's not quite the same but... She wonders how her past selves would feel if they had known what she does. Noah has never forgotten anything, but... ]

You know, I... wish I remembered the time we spent together. Nothing can ever replace the old ones, even if we can create new ones.

... If you wanted, that is.

[ It's about thirty minutes before he can get back to this. ]

You're as kind as ever...
Thank you, Mira.

[ ... ]

And I would absolutely like that.
You became one of my dearest friends, and I will always cherish that year we spent together, because you're still very important to me.
Would you like to have lunch together? Maybe I could tell you some stories.

[soulager]

You don't have to thank me, Eraqus.
I'm glad I could help, even in some small way.

[ Oh! ]

Ah, really? I'm really glad to hear that!
I'd love that, actually. I have a few stories myself, if you'd like to hear them.
And I'm sure I'll have more, the more places I go out and see.

[guardingthelight]

Ah, but I want to give thanks!
You deserve appreciation for all you do.

And I'd love to hear any stories you have, of course.
I'm sure I'll enjoy them!

What kind of place would you like to eat at?

[soulager]

Ah, you're welcome, then.
But knowing those around me are at ease... that's more than thanks enough.

I'll make sure to tell some very good ones, then.

As for food... Hmm... anything, really! I'm not too picky.
Surprise me?

[guardingthelight]

[ He takes a moment to consider. ]

I know just the place, then!
When and where would you like me to meet you?

[soulager]

I'm excited to see what you have in mind.
Mm, anytime works for me.
As for where--I'll be in Miami with those from the Foundation, Tiernan, and my Eraqus.

[ does she realize the "my" there

probably not. ]

[guardingthelight]

Then, it should be easy for me to find you.
I was already headed that way to see Sky, Yuri, and Alice.

[ Let's just... not bring up Aqua... ]

How about after I meet with them, then?

[soulager]

[ Huh. She's no doubt curious about Aqua's being conspicuously missing, but she's not about to bring it up. ]

I'm sure they'll be glad to see you.
Just let me know when--I have all the time in the worlds.
