IrnChef_Jovian> *sighs*

[gTV] C'est_la_V> What's wrong, Mako-chan??

IrnChef_Jovian> *counts back slowly...*

IrnChef_Jovian> 2007...

IrnChef_Jovian> 1985...

IrnChef_Jovian> It's been 22 years since that plane crash...

[gTV] C'est_la_V> *nods softly, realizing what Mako-chan is talking about*

IrnChef_Jovian> All this time, most of my family's things were left back home in Osaka, because there was no room to bring them down to the apartment in Tokyo, y'know?

IrnChef_Jovian> My uncle was taking care of stuff, but now he wants to move.

IrnChef_Jovian> So I had to go up there this weekend, and sort things out.

[gTV] C'est_la_V> Are you okay??

IrnChef_Jovian> I dunno

IrnChef_Jovian> After my parents... well, he didn't touch anything, saying it was all my inheritance.

IrnChef_Jovian> in '99 the trust vested and I got control of everything, but I never went up there to look at any of it.

IrnChef_Jovian> I just... couldn't.

[gTV] C'est_la_V> That's the trust you were living off of when you were in school??

IrnChef_Jovian> Ya... my uncle stood in for me so I could have my own place and such, but all the bills came from that.

IrnChef_Jovian> So... it was like... having to go up there and dispose of things that were a big part of my parents' lives.

IrnChef_Jovian> It felt wrong, y'know?

[gTV] C'est_la_V> I don't... mama and papa are still around...

IrnChef_Jovian> Well it's something I don't wish on ya.

IrnChef_Jovian> So many familar sights and smells... to hold the stuff in your hand that you know your pop liked to work with...

IrnChef_Jovian> Tools, and items, and things that were precious to him..

IrnChef_Jovian> And then to have to chuck it because there's no room, no way to take it back with you.

IrnChef_Jovian> It hurts.

[gTV] C'est_la_V> Mako-chan...

IrnChef_Jovian> I mean, it hasta be done, right? There's no way. But it's like... kind of a finality.

IrnChef_Jovian> I mean living in Tokyo all the time, with the house bein' in Osaka, it always felt like they were still there, just... not in touch, y'know?

IrnChef_Jovian> I mean, I'd been in Tokyo so long my accent even faded away by Junior High.

IrnChef_Jovian> But to go back... it just hammered everything home...

IrnChef_Jovian> I'd just realized they were gone! ^_^;;

[gTV] C'est_la_V> Mako-chan...

IrnChef_Jovian> Man, ya gotta tsukkomu me on that

[gTV] C'est_la_V> hee

[gTV] C'est_la_V> *smacks Mako-chan on the back of the head*

IrnChef_Jovian> ^___^

IrnChef_Jovian> I'm okay, I guess

IrnChef_Jovian> We accumulate so much stuff over a lifetime, don't we?

IrnChef_Jovian> I feel bad about putting that to waste.

[gTV] C'est_la_V> Ne, ne...

[gTV] C'est_la_V> Your parents got things that made them happy.

[gTV] C'est_la_V> They enjoyed them.

[gTV] C'est_la_V> They don't use them now.

[gTV] C'est_la_V> They wouldn't want you to suffer carrying all their things everywhere you go..

[gTV] C'est_la_V> Your suffering would make them sad, right??

IrnChef_Jovian> I guess...

[gTV] C'est_la_V> I guess cherish the herlooms and things that make you happiest when you look at them...

[gTV] C'est_la_V> I dunno, this isn't something I had to deal with...

IrnChef_Jovian> No, it makes sense

IrnChef_Jovian> *hugs Mina-P*

[gTV] C'est_la_V> ^^ I haven't been called that in a long time!!

IrnChef_Jovian> ^_^

IrnChef_Jovian> Well I have things to take care of, bbl!

[gTV] C'est_la_V> See you Mako-chan!!

IrnChef_Jovian is away: Memories can be sad but happy too

FireFly_9> That was touching, Sempai.

[gTV] C'est_la_V> Ano... why didn't you say something if you were larking there?

FireFly_9> "lurking"

[gTV] C'est_la_V> That too...

FireFly_9> Because I don't know Makoto-san all that well, and she's your best friend.

FireFly_9> Also, I've been updating my homepage.

[gTV] C'est_la_V> You have a homepage?!!?

FireFly_9> Yes, remember back in 2004 when most of us started blogs and then promptly forgot about them?

[gTV] C'est_la_V> Hai, hehehe~

FireFly_9> Well since I don't really have time for social networking and the like, I've repurposed it to catalog the internet videos that are put out here from time to time.

FireFly_9> Here, have a look.

[gTV] C'est_la_V> *loads*

[gTV] C'est_la_V> ...

FireFly_9> What

[gTV] C'est_la_V> "Hah! Having lived with Minako-sempai I remember this incident well, and relish it. "

[gTV] C'est_la_V>

FireFly_9> eheh... heheh

FireFly_9 is away: Oh my look at the time, must dash

[gTV] C'est_la_V> -You run.-
