[He almost didn't want to believe it at first. That she was gone. He noticed she was missing several days ago, but he didn't say anything at first. It was kept secret between he, Richard, and Isamu. Why? Who knows. Denial, maybe? Stubbornness? Or maybe he just wanted to believe that she'd be back...

It wasn't that he was upset over her departure, per se. He was glad his oldest companion was able to return to Ephinea. He was happy for all of them to get that chance. ...But it hurt every time. They were his friends, every one of them, and he had the chance to spend time with them is a way he'd never have back home. And this time... it hurt even more. He had a special bond with her, a relationship. Something he probably wouldn't have even conceived of back home. And now it's gone.

He knows he couldn't keep quiet about it. He's sure she's made friends here, just like he has. It'd only be right to say something.]

If any of you knew her... It looks like Cheria Barnes has gone home. She'll be missed.

[There's a sigh.] ...Does anybody knows what happens when people leave Luceti? I mean, they're actually going home, right? [And not to something far worse.]

[The feed ends there, but then it resumes about ten minutes later.]

...Does anybody get the feeling that this place is listening to us? Or at least is trying to make us look dumb?

If Luceti is tryin' ta make us look dumb then it's been doing one hell of a good job at it so far.

[He just chuckles at that. He feels pretty dumb now, that's for sure.]

Haha... Yeah, I guess it is pretty good at that, huh?

So, how it did make a fool out of you then? Did Cheria not go home at all or somethin'?

She returned just as I announced she was gone.

[Ok, that's kind of funny.]

That would be irony for ya then. It just waits for you to let yer guard down!

Maybe next time I shouldn't wait so long to say anything then.

That's the thing with irony, even if you did wait it would do the same thing again. It's out ta get you! It's a cruel, cruel thing!

What? That's terrible! So no matter what I do, it'll still happen?

Not all of the time! Only when ya least expect it! If you know it's comin' then it wouldn't be ironic at all, it would be a co-incidence!

That still sounds like it happens either way, though.

That's only because it's somethin' we have no control over! [An idea strikes, he wonders if this guy is as easy to wind up as the other red head he met.] But I've heard there's a special group of people who can control irony.

What? [If Asbel was more logical he'd probably make a conclusion that if they can control irony then it's not irony anymore.

...But he's not.]

People that can control irony? Really?

[Oh this is just perfect. He's managing to target the most gullible people lately!]

Yeah, you can! All ya gotta do is make sure the bad things happen to other people. Ya see, irony is like a curse, it only affects one person at a time so you need ta pass it on!

I couldn't do that to someone else! [That is exceedingly cruel.]

Then you'll just have ta suffer with the irony for the rest of yer life whilst everyone else lives on happily ever after!

Isn't there some way it can be stopped?

What do ya think would happen if you removed somethin' as powerful as irony from existence? The fabric of reality would collapse! Ya gotta live with it or pass it on!

What if we spread it out?

Oh! Ya wanna pass the curse onto multiple people? You must have a lot of enemies!

[This is just too easy.]

N-no! But I mean... If you have to pass it on or keep it, that means there's only so much irony to go around, right?

But would ya really wanna pass it onto more than one person? If ya spread it out too far it might multiply by itself!

Huh? It can do that?

Yup! If you try and split it the each half will end up growin' into a fully fledged irony! It's a dangerous risk!

[It's been a long time since he made up crap like this, he's enjoying it!]
