There are so many lost things

Comments

[sopio]

I was told to leave this with you.

[sticksandleaves]

why?

[sopio]

That is a question with too many answers.

I was sent because everyone at home is preparing for Summer.

[sticksandleaves]

What does it cost? I only have my tiredness to trade.

[sopio]

It is a gift. Once you accept it, I can return home.

[sticksandleaves]

What if I don't accept it?

[mia_j]

What if the lost things are people?

[sticksandleaves]

Yes. [Did that make sense. Fiona certainly seems to think it did.]

[sopio]

[She’s quiet for a long moment] You won’t have the gift.

[sticksandleaves]

[Well now that is certainly the dilemma when you put it like that.]I must know who to send my flavor to.

[sopio]

Marcus. He told me that once you accepted the gift, I could return home and help prepare for summer.

[sticksandleaves]

Marcus.

You're released. I will accept it.

[mia_j]

[It does to Mia.]

I mean I know technically where they are... mostly. But they stop coming around and they're not in my life anymore.

[sticksandleaves]

If you know where they are, they’re not lost. But if they have lost themselves... you may need to wait until they find themselves again. Flowers and people need time in the dark before they flower.

[mia_j]

What if I'm the one who feels lost without them?

[janee]

I know it’s a mess, but I can’t find my keys! Please help, I’ll do anything.

[sticksandleaves]

Do you need your keys or just a way to open things?

[sticksandleaves]

You should find people to replace them.

[mia_j]

I try but then I lose them too.

Or... maybe they purposely lose me.

[That's a cheery thought.]

[sticksandleaves]

A binding spell? That would solve your problem. Make it so they never leave.

[mia_j]

Thaaaat's kinda creepy.

[sticksandleaves]

But it would solve your loneliness.

[mia_j]

It would, but not in the way I want. If I'm really that horrible to be around that people leave, or they're too lazy to find the time to spend with me, I don't want to force them to do something they don't feel.

Don't tell me you do that.

[sticksandleaves]

You would rather be unhappy? [She doesn't understand this and it shows]

I don't need to cast those sorts of spells. But I would do whatever would solve my problem.

[janee]

Both! I need to start my car and I need to lock and unlock doors.
