[Zelos, slowly going insane from the snow mission and the fact it's his one year anniversary in this place- has one of two options: seek out hard liquor, or human contact]
[Sadly, he does not have the money for booze.]
Happy Anniversary Allen. We've been in this shithole one year now.
Assuming you haven't starved while I was away, anyway.
A year. When he arrived one December ago, he never thought for a second he'd still be here, after all this time. The last time he walked the Order's halls, the last time he saw an Akuma's soul, it feels like a lifetime ago...
[he doesn't know if this is a happy anniversary or not. He sure hadn't planned on still being alive. And really after an extra year of living...he can't figure out if it's a good thing or not]
...My cooking or actually getting cooked food?
It's snowy. Very, very snowy.
And for some reason, people keep making a big deal that there are yetis down here.
There's rumors some version of the Initiative exists, but...the locals really don't like talking about it. We're still looking into whether or not they still really exist.
[he wonders if Allen is reaching the same conclusion he did awhile back: that their meddling with the timeline went hand-in-hand with erasing people. He had kept it to himself because he knew it would hurt Allen, especially when they had no other means to make things better]
[Just like he's keeping quiet about it now]
I will.
And I'm sure they are. Not everyone can be happy living in this frozen wasteland.

so does the last time he had a decent meal, god.]
Happy anniversary.
Sophie misses your cooking. [ just the cooking. ]
How is it down there?

no subject
It was always rain, before.
What is a yeti?
no subject
I guess, but I think I'd take the constant rain over this.
Some kind of monster that lives in snow.
no subject
Snow monsters?? Are you safe?
no subject
Uh- sure. Why not? They're just monsters. [Says the overpowered JRPG character.]
no subject
Doesn't 'monster' imply that they're dangerous? They're not attacking?
no subject
Well- there's been a couple attacks, but hey! That's just normal!
no subject
no subject
And even if I did, I think I can take a yeti.
no subject
What is the town like?
no subject
Nothing like the city we knew.
It's all small villages now. I haven't found anything that seems familiar.
no subject
Nothing?
Not the people? The Initiative?
no subject
There's rumors some version of the Initiative exists, but...the locals really don't like talking about it. We're still looking into whether or not they still really exist.
no subject
All this, it was our doing?
no subject
Yeah, it was.

The city... The people who lived there, have they simply moved to the towns, or...

Let me know what you find, please.

Instead:]
We should have thought to pick up winter coats on one of our missions.
no subject
Oh, yeah. That was an oversight.
Let's do that when I get back, okay?
[Except you'll get canon bumped and run off and WE"LL NEVER GET PROPER WINTER COATS]
no subject
shh, shh, no idea what you're talking about]
All right. Coats and gloves. I gave my winter gloves to Cat... [ for donuts. ]
