Oh dear... what have those people been subjugating my son to? I wish I could simply do something... but I'm afraid it's out of my hands... please be safe, my son.

[longingforhertoreturn]

[Penelope blushes after reading. Mainly due to her own section.]

Well... I... tend to try my best. But I am not used to having comfort others in my life. The only ones I have comfort are my son and my wife. Forgive me if it tends to be awkward at times. But thank you for your words. I am glad that you do not think ill of me.

And the secrets? No... I have never tried to hide it. If you wish to ask, I do not mind.

Hey, Kromie. What do you like about each particular sinner?

What an unlucky and miserable question to immediately come across upon receiving a truth serum. I'll list my coworkers in order just to make it easier for the viewers.

Dongbaek/01 - I have two favorite sinners and Dongbaek is one of them. Even though she is older than me, Dongbaek treats me as an equal. I appreciate that Dongbaek feels comfortable to speak her mind around me. She's relatively quiet most of the time so it feels special to have a good enough bond that she is comfortable holding a conversation with me. There is a mutual understanding between us that we will not force the other to speak about something they'd rather not share, and I truly appreciate that there is never any pressure when we hang out. Dongbaek also always smells pleasant. Surprisingly, she appears to carry a strong scent of flowers no matter where she goes-- so it's actually pretty nice to be her bus seat buddy. My sense of smell is pretty strong so I'm glad that the people I sit next to don't have an offensive smell. Another thing is that on days I am not particularly feeling well as we are traveling, both of my seat buddies will let me rest upon them. The amount of care Dongbaek shows is extremely touching. I know she is awkward, but she is genuinely such a good person.

Gretchen/02 - Gretchen gave me a purpose after I abandoned everything I was familiar with... I really appreciate that. It's also really nice to have a source of knowledge to draw from.

Don Quixote/03 - My other favorite sinner. He is also the other sinner I sit next to on the bus. Don Quixote is very fatherly towards me, but he doesn't necessarily try to parent me. It's more of... A father friend. It's a type of attention and care I've never gotten before, so to have someone show genuine care like he does is extremely touching. I want to return the same attention to him but... I have zero clue how to show how much I care. Ah. Don Quixote and I also have the mutual understanding that we both hold secrets, but we don't let that get in the way of our friendship. He doesn't push me about my past before limbus company-- he saw my point of view while we were fighting Nagel und Hammer for the golden bough... But those flashbacks never actually shared why I did what I did. It just showed me as a monster. Yet, Don Quixote still treats me as human anyways. He doesn't ask for me to explain my reasoning, he's the first one to be open with me. We both know that we may share our secrets if we ever feel like it's safe to, but there's never any pressure and we don't let that get in the way of our bonding. I also think Don Quixote is an amazing storyteller. He has so many stories, and I'm not quite sure how he remembers them all... But the fact that Don Quixote has such a good memory is amazing-- it's certainly good entertainment for the road trip we perpetually seem to be on. Though, even if he isn't telling a story he's a good conversationalist. I cherish the conversations I have with Don Quixote and Dongbaek. Oh, I think Don Quixote also has really interesting hair. I think he brushes it quite frequently, it always moves so gracefully without tangles. I think it would be fun to play with his hair, but... It may be a bit embarrassing to ask. Hehe.

Yuzu/04 - ....Um... (Well, how do I explain this in a way that won't be wildly misconstrued by the anons... ) To start with, I really appreciate Yuzu's bloodlust and efficiency. I know we both tend to avoid each other... We kinda started off on the wrong foot and I have zero clue how to talk to her now... Erm. Her wrath is very interesting to watch. It burns very hot, and the way she burns across the battlefield is almost like art. (Ugh, I still have to say it...) I guess I also find her face aesthetically pleasing? She's cute. Don't take that the wrong way, though. You guys tend to take things too far, it's not like that.

Marie/05 - Marie is genuinely fun to fight alongside. She is a reliable partner to have in battle. Marie also gave me a hug during ladies night once... That was really nice. She hugs really well.

Jia Xichun/06 - I can always count on Xichun to tell me the truth, even if both of knows it's going to hurt. Xichun doesn't bother hiding what she thinks about me, and it's nice to not have to guess.

Catherine/07 - Catherine and I typically keep our distance from each other, but I do think she has very interesting opinions. We both came from different backgrounds, and even if she's a spoiled pretty princess... I guess it gives her a unique view of the world and allows her to notice things I typically wouldn't.

Queequeg/08 - Queequeg is honestly very intimidating-- she could probably crush my skull if I offended her. But... I think she's a good listener. I also think her tattoos are really nice.

Sonya/09 - ...While I think his dream is unobtainable, I do find it admirable that he is working so hard towards it. I think Sonya is quite a good entertainer during ladies nights, he's very good at keeping the conversation flowing.

Jane Doe/10 - Our manager is extremely caring in her own way. Jante is quite goofy at times, but I feel like she's becoming more reliable in her decisions.

Kromer/11 - ...I'm a sinner so I guess I have to say something good about myself? Uh... Oh gosh, it's actually kind of weird to put myself on the spot like this. I guess I like my eyes? They are something I can get lost looking at in the mirror sometimes. There's a lot of little details in them.

Penelope/12 - I think Penelope's attempts to mother others is quite amusing. She's awkward about it in an adorable way. Though... I can sense that she's someone important, but she doesn't flaunt her power. I find that extremely intimidating because I don't quite know who she is, but I do value the sense of secrecy she has.

Yuri/13 - Yuri has a very fun personality. It's nice to spend time with her. I do think she lets other people get to her too much, but that sensitive side is also what makes her such a nice person. I think Yuri puts a lot of thought into how she looks everyday, and it's nice to see her try to dress up even while she's in her work uniform.

They are...? Dear... I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have left you alone with them. But... I am still happy that you found happiness there. Please wait for me, my son. I will find her and we will return together. Then, at long last, we will be a complete family again.

Telemachus? My son... is that you?

@longingforhertoreturn

Mom...? You're here too? How are you...? I know you haven't left for that long, but I still missed you. A lot.

[longingforhertoreturn]

Yes. I saw. Just a while ago, when I checked your account. I'm very proud of you, my son. And I'm sure your mother is too. We both are proud to have you, and we love you very much. Never forget that. Never give up. I'm sure you will reach your dream. And I'm sorry for leaving all of a sudden. I wanted to leave to find her... your mother. I didn't want to bring you with me. It's a dangerous world out here. I want you to be safe. But it also felt selfish to leave you alone.

Telemachus? My son... is that you?

@longingforhertoreturn

[longingforhertoreturn]

Telemachus? Why are you here? No... that doesn't matter. I am fine, my son. It has been a while still. I also miss you.

Hey guys. I know this format is usually saved for posts about cosplay but right now I really wanna talk about the state of project moon as a company. The most clear and obvious thing to me as it stands is that Kim ji hoon is at or beyond his breaking point and deeply needs rest or subdivision and probably both.

Poor guy is working what most companies would consider at least 15 different positions with zero backup. When a team balloons it's easy for important stuff to slip through the cracks so subdivision can be scary but... Where project moon is they desperately need new departments. Our glorious dog boy CEO desperately needs people he can trust in higher positions because it's more than obviously he's getting ready to talk to me... I deeply deeply hope he gets the rest and relaxation he needs because he can't keep going like this for much longer the way I see it. Sorry this is more serious than my usual post.

[longingforhertoreturn]

From the things I've experienced? It's best to stay on your toes. Regardless, if you need any help, my doors are always open for you if you need them. And a warm cup of tea if you'd like.

It seems that Lady Marie had joined in. Welcome. I hope your time here will be pleasant. Though... with the anons all around... that might be hard... but welcome regardless.

Miss Penelope! There's a Telemachus blog here!

Telemachus... he's here? How can this be...?

[longingforhertoreturn]

Well... I did have people like you come and go every now and then. But a visitor? No. I barely invite anyone inside. I'm usually the one to come over. But thankyou regardless. I do hope my room is to your liking. It's... a bit bittersweet in here.

[Penelope looks around the room, a bit sad as she looked into parts of her room that reminded her of her past.]

Well. In any case. I'm afraid I don't really have any refreshments. The only thing I have are my coffee cookies if you'd like some.

[Penelope sighed and took her seat opposite to the younger girl.]

Well... that is true. But it is nice to get some peace and quiet for once. I believe it's the first time anyone has visited my room before.

[longingforhertoreturn]

m!a you're out of the void now, and in your room on the bus. there's warm tea with a few teacups around waiting for you as well

[Pop!]

Well... that's appreciated. Thank you. Finally I get to relax with some tea.

[She pours herself a cup and took a whiff of it. She let out a sigh of content.]

[longingforhertoreturn]

would you. like help getting out of the void

Well... yes... as long as there are no strings attached.

[longingforhertoreturn]

Alright... I don't know if I regret rejecting the void... thing... or am I relieved... I have been playing for hours... and the battery of this... thing... is running out.

[longingforhertoreturn]

Void ticket events: beamed into MX's realm

[Penelope let out a sigh of frustration]

No... absolutely not. There just had to be a catch, yes? Why? No... I am not going. Not to... whatever that is...

[longingforhertoreturn]

[Penelope sighed and took her seat opposite to the younger girl.]

Well... that is true. But it is nice to get some peace and quiet for once. I believe it's the first time anyone has visited my room before.

[Penelope hummed as she closed the door behind her.]

Well, everyone should be in their rooms. If that is not the case, then perhaps they are off doing their own thing. If there is one thing this bus does best, that is how to keep business to themselves. Though, do not be alarmed. I am not angry in any way. Please, have a seat.

[longingforhertoreturn]

Alright... with.... very much... struggled effort, I managed to play the thing... well, it was fun. The puzzles in the games were quite engaging. It's certainly entertaining compared to this... endless... void... thankyou. To whoever sent this to me.

[longingforhertoreturn]

*gives you a gameboy and 10 gameboy games*

have some entertainment

Uhm... thankyou...? How do I operate this...? Are there perhaps... instructions somewhere?
