Out with the old....

[sundead]

Who: Everyone
What: New Year's.
When: Dec. 31st, New Year's Eve, to Jan 1st, New Year's Day.
Where: Everywhere
Summary: It's New Year's, and the people of Luceti have a lot to reflect upon, and to look forward to. And on a more meta level, new journal names.
Rating: We'll see...

New Year's brings images of crowds, and songs, and fireworks; staying up til midnight and watching balls or bells being rung. But Luceti is a different time and place. Whether you're partying with friends or watching the sunrise, what are you doing today?

Yeah.

[Pause.]

But if I choose differently, wouldn't I still be in the human world? [Waging war on God made it necessary for him to move to the demon world, but the other plans? Gin's, Atsuro's and Yuzu's should have Kouki stay in the human world.]

...Unless being the Messiah means living in heaven?

[ctrlaltdemons]

[Hmm... That's a good point.]

I think so. I don't think any of our other plans would have sent you out of the human world. [Except for maybe Amane's.. So he nods at the last bit.] Maybe. Do you think you would end up living there though? I mean, even when becoming the King of Bel, you were only going to the demon world for the duration of the war, right?

[de_bel_survivor]

Not at the time. I was more worried about becoming the King of Bel as quickly as possible. [The time limit gave him no time to spare.]

But...yeah, I'll only be at the demon world for the war.

[Until he win or die. Until then, he spent months there with no other human company. But how long will the war take? And how much time in the human world will pass?]

[ctrlaltdemons]

Yeah, that's true... We didn't really have enough time to figure out where you would end up going. [Except of course, Naoya knew already and didn't bother to tell anyone until just moments before Kouki had to leave. Sigh.]

What if you decided to become the Messiah though? Would you have lived in heaven, or would you have just stayed there for a certain period of time like in the demon world?

[Assuming and hoping that Kouki lived through and won the war, he would end up coming back home. But would he just live in heaven and not come back otherwise..?]

[de_bel_survivor]

[He loves you, Naoya, but sometimes you're just..gah.]

If I decided to be the Messiah? [He sometimes wonder about that. Leading mankind for God, even if it meant going against Naoya's wishes.] I would have to be on earth to 'lead mankind' for God. But living...where would a Messiah stay at?

[He can't help but think it would be awkward for his parents.]

[ctrlaltdemons]

[..On that note, how did things work out with his parents when he went to the demon world?]

I wonder... Well hey, if you wouldn't have been able to stay at home, you could've just stayed with me like we're doing here. [Haha~ I mean hey, Atsuro's alone at home anyway..]

[de_bel_survivor]

[They could lie and say Kouki's dead? IDEK]

That would be great! You don't mind that?

[He knows Atsuro lives alone back home, so.]

[ctrlaltdemons]

[...That's terrible..]

Nah, of course not. If anything, it could be pretty fun, you know?

[It's already awesome enough to be rooming with Kouki here in Luceti, so to do so back at home would be even cooler..!]

[de_bel_survivor]

[How else would they explain away his absence...]

Of course it'd be fun. It's like how we live together here.

[Minus experiments and drafts fun.]

[ctrlaltdemons]

[What about when he comes back... dhaskhfkas]

Yeah, exactly! I wonder what Yoohoo would think of it though.

[Would she say something? Or would she not? HMMMM. Either way he'd be kind of amused.]

[de_bel_survivor]

[Would they still accept him with his changes...and actions...]

She probably think we're going to be a pair of stupid goons.

[Okay, mostly Atsuro because of Yuzu's bias for Kou.]

[ctrlaltdemons]

[This is so depressing to consider pffft..]

Probably. That sure sounds like something she would do, haha. But hey, it's not like we'd be doing anything bad or anything, right?

[or goon-like. besides being bros.]

[de_bel_survivor]

[it's not smt without depressing stuff]

Nope, we're not! Beside staying up late at night sometimes.

[What is proper bedtimes]
