week 6

[arsholes]

[On Sunday morning, there is a small gift waiting for the early risers in the tower: a dull lead key (don't lick it), dangling from a length of twine tied to the wooden beam across the ceiling at the cross section of the four dorms. Upon further inspection it has a particular symbol on the back half and a note that reads "Good job. Here's your reward". The note is signed Lord H. The key goes to sixth floor, where there is the same symbol etched above the keyhole on the lock.

The new floor is even more grand than the previous ballroom, a full theatre for their enjoyment. But it doesn't take away the burning sting of certain people who would have loved to see it.]

1. Random Record Shuffle* - A funky fresh record you can play in a record player! The only catch is Garfield gets to pick the artist. *One per customer [1 coin]

...I really don't. It always just makes everybody upset, and it doesn't even fix anything.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

I don't know, Bruno-san. I know it's been really hard for you, but... that's how I felt about mine, too.

[predecir]

Really? But yours is useful. You've done so much with just the ghosts here, and there must be way more out in...the real world.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

I didn't think it was useful until I went to the past and there were people who needed my help. Who asked for it, because they knew what a Tamayori was and didn't think I was just some scary weirdo. I think I might be able to do well with it now, even if I did go back to the present, but I didn't think so before. I probably would've wanted something like yours instead, to see if there was any hope of things getting better instead of always just assuming they wouldn't.

[predecir]

That's not what it is. You can only have hope if you don't know what's gonna happen - if you still think it might be something good. I'm the death of hope.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

Even if what happens in the end isn't as bad as it seemed?

[predecir]

Eh, I think it usually is.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

I really think it could be okay! Even if something goes wrong.

[predecir]

The last time I had a good vision, it was for one of my nieces. Then I got cocky and gave my other niece one, and told her that she'd never find love because the man she fell in love with would marry someone else. She was nine.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

Oh... But does that really mean she'd never find love? Even if you get rejected, that doesn't mean you'll be alone forever, right? All you see is the one image, not the entire future past it!

[predecir]

Sure, I guess, but she was upset. What was I gonna do, keep the vision going? It might've just gotten worse.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

But that's what I'm saying! It's possible to see or even make something better out of even a bad eventuality, right? I mean, it would make sense!

[predecir]

...maybe. But...well, I can't keep a vision going forever. And the more bad futures you dump on someone at worse, the worse their reaction's gonna be. I have people getting mad enough at me for things like "you're gonna go bald in a few years".

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

That's okay. I guess I can't really help with that, but I just think your ability isn't so bad. You still don't have to use it if it scares you or anything.

[predecir]

...thanks.

[Bruno chews on his lip for a moment.]

I never...really got out of doing it back home. Not until I left. It's been...really nice how no one here makes me.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

...Do you want your prophecy back? It might be nice for you to see your family again, at least.

[predecir]

Yeah. Yeah, thanks. These are the only kind I ever kept, the ones that had nice pictures of people.

[Not that he had a ton of THOSE, but...you get it.]

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

[She hoists it up with a bit of effort and hands it over with a smile.]

There you go, Bruno-san. And I hope you can go home and see them soon.

[predecir]

[Bruno takes the tablet, smiling down at it wistfully for a moment.]

Thanks. You too. [...] Not - not going home and seeing them, specifically, that's...you know what I mean.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

I know you're scared. But I also know it's important to you, so... I don't know. I can't worry about whether being where I'm happy is running away from my problems and not worry about you being where you're not happy. Does that make sense? I hope it makes sense.

[predecir]

Oh, uh...yeah, yeah, it does.

And for the record...I don't know, I think you being happy matters a little more than achieving some kind of moral victory. If it's just making friends with those girls who didn't like you. I mean, they weren't your friends to begin with, what do you owe them?

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

I guess that's true... But it's been a long time. And one girl actually reached out to me and tried to invite me out with them, once. I mean, the others tried pulling her back, and I said it was fine, but... I don't know, I feel like I have the courage to try now. I just don't know if it's worth what I'd be throwing away, either, even if it did all work out fine.

[predecir]

...I honestly don't know that it would be. Giving up people you know care about you for people who just might...I mean, it's not like they're your family.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

...I'll keep thinking about it. But you might be right, Bruno-san. Thank you for everything.

[predecir]

...yeah, sure. You're welcome.
