IC Contact

Hi, this is Winter Tsukuyomi. I can't get to my phone now; I'm probably out working at the village, and I don't get great reception. If you need something, please leave a message or send me an e-mail, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. If it's urgent, please use the network, which I CAN access, or find someone who can. Thanks! (beep)

Hey, Winter. Are you busy? I have something I want to ask you about.

Hey! Do you have a minute?

I think if you hadn't come yesterday it would've been a lot harder for us to convince bakura to leave. Having you there was really important and I don't think you should've done anything differently.

Hey, Winter. Um...

I figured you should know about this. If Lily seems down, on the 28th... it's because that's the anniversary of the day our mother died.

I dunno if this is proper or not, but... I didn't want anything bad to happen because you didn't know, okay?

Yeah.

Gimme a call back, alright?

[ This, this is the one he feels more hesitation about than he rightly should. This was the letter he'd written to himself as a reminder, that was meant for someone else to read. Mostly because how he feels about Winter has sort of faded in and out over the last week, leaving him surprisingly empty, when the contents are anything but. All the details surrounding his reasoning are hazy, and difficult to pin down. It takes him a while to start, because his own wondering distracts him — had it always been this way?

Well, he guesses he wouldn't have to send this if it was. Another letter in a bundle of them, hidden away for himself to find, after everything was over. ]

I know you're still on your school trip, so you can wait until you get back to read this if you want. I would have just texted you, but it's long. And I figured you wouldn't want it as a welcome back, even if I don't understand it all the way. I think you will... or, I hope you will. Here:

"Winter,

You're probably going to be the most angry with me, out of everyone. Hear me out, just this once, and then if you never want to forgive me for breaking my promise to you, I'll understand. No matter what I remember, or what I don't, or what you or anyone else tells me.

I have a lot to thank you for. More than I can probably write down in a single place like this. Probably just as much as I have to apologize to you for now, when I'm being unfair. You always thought I was, I think. That's why I tried to keep what I was a secret from you for so long. It was dumb, right? Because out of everyone I know, you were the one who understood the most. I think I might have been scared of whatever I was turning into forever, if you hadn't told me that. "I understand." Not because of who I used to be, or whose power I was getting. Because of who you knew. It took me way too long to realize that, that my power was always mine. All it took was you proving it to me, after everything. If there are things only I can do, and only you can do, remember that. Remember that you really did save me, that day in the hospital. I wouldn't have been able to pilot the Unicorn if it hadn't been for you, or fight for Locke, and everyone in it. I wouldn't have known what my responsibility was, and I wouldn't have had the confidence or resolve to carry it out. You made the world seem bigger, but not as scary.

If I have to talk to you like this, here and now, I won't remember why any of this happened. But I want you to take everything you told me, everything that you already knew, and use it to help everyone, now that I can't. That's how we move forward, Winter. That's how you're going to continue on, no matter what. Right?

Just don't try to take all of that and walk it alone. No matter how much it might hurt, I want you to do that for me, with everyone you can. You're the only one who I know I can trust, asking something like that. Not only because you understand, but because... that's how we grow, and how the world grows, whether I'm a part of it or not.

Whatever light I was capable of, you should be capable of too. I believe in that. So, use it. Use it to tell Lily not to be sad, use it to prove that the love I felt that day is worth something. Maybe everything.

[ Lily is damned thankful to be able to use both hands. Even if it was for only a couple of weeks, and it's been several since, she's been sort of taking whatever opportunity she can find to just... do things, constructive things, with the both of them.

Hence, why she's busy finishing up the dishes from dinner for the evening. Just because. Left to her own devices, she's a bit lost in thought, caught somewhere between anger and sadness over things that had occurred this week far out of their reach. Between that, what happened the night of the blackouts, still knowing there are threats out there, there was a lot to think about...

A lot to talk about that she HADN'T been talking about.

Sighing, she shuts the water off as she loads the last plate into the washer, and turns to wander off. Lily's honestly sort of afraid of how she herself will act in response to some of this stuff, less than Winter, but... it's been put off too long. Everything on the news in Vegas made that all too clear. ]

Winter? You there?

Hello. I know that it is unusual for me to communicate directly in this way, but I felt that in this instance I felt that it was needed.

I have existed in this life a little over a year now. Raye recently told me that this essentially means my "birthday" has passed. I don't fully understand the signifigance myself but I've seen its importance to humans often enough that I felt I should speak.

When I first awoke in this world, it was in the middle of battle. Despite not knowing anything about myself, I knew what my purpose was through sheer instinct. To grant my wearer power, and aid her in defeating her enemies. After the fighting was done, I had thought that I was meant only to wait until next I was needed. I was an outsider, I could only be heard by my wearer. I did not belong.

I was... wrong. All of you, in some way have shown me that over this year. Despite being unable to hear my voice, you accepted me. Even spoke to me at times, whether I could answer or not.

I've watched all of you. I've watched you laugh and cry together. I've watched you help one another and stand at each other's side at the darkest of times. It is thanks to you that I have come to understand the strength and importance of the bonds between people, and it is thanks to you that I have come to choose my purpose.

I was created for battle, yes, but I am not only a weapon. I will fight as I was meant to but my battle will be to protect this world and the people who live on it, so that they may live peacefully. I will fight for you and beside you for as long as I am able. This is the purpose I have chosen for myself.

For this, I wanted to say something to all of you. My friends.

Thank you.

Hey, Winter!

I've missed you, how have you been? It feels like it's been forever! Hey, do you want to hang out sometime? Our last meetup didn't really let us have a chance to just be friends for a change. [He laughs a bit] Do you have any place you want to go? I can treat you to cake or something.
