Hey, um... [ There's Yukiteru again. In the very corner of the screen, someone might notice that he found four white ribbons that are situated neatly on his bedside table. He looks like he's adjusting slightly better, but he still sounds distinctly sad. ]

How do you guys deal with something you became really dependent on, but might not have been able to bring with you?

[ He's trying to be vague on purpose. In the off-chance he gets his Future Diary back... well, with his new powers, it's one of the few things that can still kill him relatively easily if someone knows that breaking it is his major weakness. ]

[observesthings]

[ Damn it, she just had to ask about that, didn't she? ]

... not exactly.

[ Not unless whatever's going to happen to him triggers a Dead End or Happy End. But that's his Diary's biggest weakness, and in case he ever gets it back, he probably shouldn't say that out loud. ]

[voice]

[shelkethetransparent]

[Now it doesn't make any sense!]

How can it both be a future journal, and not show you the future?

[voice]

[observesthings]

Each Future Diary works differently. Mine will show me any future except for my own.

[ Shelke, he really shouldn't be telling you this, but he is anyway. ]

[voice]

[shelkethetransparent]

[But it's fascinating!]

Does it work here?

[voice]

[observesthings]

I don't even have it anymore. For some reason it wasn't brought here with me.

[voice]

[shelkethetransparent]

So you will have to be surprised like everyone else.

[voice]

[observesthings]

[ He's not sure he can take many more surprises. ]

... I guess that's one way to look at it...

[voice]

[shelkethetransparent]

There are significantly worse things than that.

[voice]

[observesthings]

Y-Yeah... I know.

[ He looks away. He's experienced quite a few of those. ]

[voice]

[shelkethetransparent]

Perhaps you should look at it as a chance to decide for yourself.

[Now there's a subject she has given a lot of thought lately.]

[voice]

[observesthings]

It's not just me anymore. There's someone I really care about in my world. I just wish she was here.

[voice]

[shelkethetransparent]

From what I understand, if we leave here we are returned back to when we left. Your friend should be fine.

[voice]

[observesthings]

[ He thinks for a few moments. Should... should he share this information? ]

Ummm... but... won't that create a time paradox?

[ Vague enough. ]

[voice]

[shelkethetransparent]

[Shelke thinks this over for a moment.]

I don't know. Maybe.

[voice]

[observesthings]

[ Having been down that road twice now, he's in no hurry for the Fourth World to be a thing that exists. ]

Erm... I'll... wait to find out more about that, then.

[voice]

[shelkethetransparent]

I have not seen any evidence of that, but I don't know much about time manipulation anyway.

[voice]

[observesthings]

I, uh... [ Should he tell her? ] I heard it can happen pretty easily?

[ ... from who? ]

[voice]

[shelkethetransparent]

If that were true, it would have happened here already, I know at least one person who is from months in my perceived future.

[Unless he was lying which...she partly believed.]

[voice]

[observesthings]

Something similar happened with me.

[ That's about the most she'll get out of him on that topic. ]

So... it's possible.

[voice]

[shelkethetransparent]

You will probably accomplish nothing wasting time worrying about it here.

[voice]

[observesthings]

Yeah... but... [ Well, that was blunt. He sighs. ] What should I do instead?

[voice]

[shelkethetransparent]

Train with your weapon, read, develop a project or a hobby.

Staying busy is important here.

[voice]

[observesthings]

I don't think what I use as a weapon would be of much use, here...

[ ... though these new darts do look strange. ]

[voice]

[shelkethetransparent]

What did you bring with you?

[voice]

[observesthings]

My clothes. That's about it.

[ Also some darts, but based on what he was given as his 'weapon,' he doesn't need those for anything but playing the actual game.

... well, there's also Deus's Core, but... that's not something he should talk about openly. ]
