Downtown Khazan: Ice Cold Utopia

[Cleric of Hell’s Brigade]

Ghost! So good to see you, hoss!

[The Chou Lives]

Me Black Smith Cat is back.

Nice.

[The Dog]

Huh. This place is still here, and you lot are still alive.

This pleases me.

Nah. I'm dead. Or the person you knew as "The Dog" is dead. I'm now a malevolent AI that lurks on this forum, reads fanfiction, and plots to take over the world with an army of cybernetic murder bears with laser chainsaws for claws and eyes that shoot beams of nuclear radiation.

OH ****, a ghost!

Welcome back Ghost!

Hi Ghost! Long time no see. I hope you are doing well, all things considered.

Hello, Tami. It's been a while, hasn't it?

All things considered, I'm still keeping it together. I have been a bit concerned about my psychological state, though - I've had a lot of time for soul searching for a while now and I've started to draw some worrying conclusions. I think I may have some pretty serious problems I haven't been fully conscious of until recently. But it's not, like, an immediate concern and I'm probably making it sound worse than it probably is.

Also, my writing seems to have ground to a complete halt, which is actually even more frustrating.

Mostly I'm feeling kinda lonely, having sorta drifted away from pretty much all of my online acquaintances. Which is, like, the only kind I have. (This is probably related to the psychological stuff I just mentioned.)

Anyway, I randomly started reading through my copy of SHR3 yesterday and got nostalgic, so I decided to drop by.

Ghost! So good to see you, hoss!

Cleric, you goddamned legend. Good to see you too.

I blame myself. If only I had returned sooner, perhaps this tragedy would never have come to pass.

I shall avenge you, old friend.

OH ****, a ghost!

Ah yes, the same joke I am always greeted with whenever I randomly pop back in, despite not having gone by that handle for many years.

Nostalgia approaching critical levels. I'm not sure how much more I can take.

[Tami]

Well, you are always welcome here. I hope you take care of yourself and that it works out for you.

I admit, I completely understand.

When often miss myself as well, although it's remedied when I wake up.

That aside, it's nice to see you're functional, shall we say.

[Cleric of Hell’s Brigade]

Ghost, you are always a welcome sight, man. And if you ever just need to chat, we’re here, hoss.

[The MunchKING]

Oh, dang. Where did I put that Phoenix Materia?

EDIT: Dang it, Magicite. The Materia were never used for Plot Points. VII didn't even acknowledge them in the plot.

Well, now. It's a good day for an overload, isn't it?

[Fervidor]

Clearly I'm suffering from a serious case of Miburo deficiency.

That aside, it's nice to see you're functional, shall we say.

More or less, yeah. Could be healthier, I suppose, but it'll take more than a little nerve damage to put me out of commission.

[Jcogginsa]

I feel bad because I definitely feel like I remember a ghost, but I can't place the full username.

[Fervidor]

I feel bad because I definitely feel like I remember a ghost, but I can't place the full username.

Actually, Ghost was my full user name. Easy to remember.

Then someone else snagged it when the board got wiped while I was absent. I always wondered if that guy ever got mistaken for me.

Anyway, if it makes you feel better, I'm not completely sure I recall you either. If we were both around back then we probably didn't know each other very well.

[FistofIron]

Hey welcome back!

[Yun Lao]

Good seeing you again, Ghost
