SHOWMASTER HEART GAME (SUNDAY)(MORNING)

A familiar voice can be heard above you, you're not sure if they're talking to you or not but it does feel like you're part of this conversation:

"What a Wonderful Story that you have. I've read it many times when I was feeling sad. You know, I wanted to keep it in my personal collection, but it doesn't seem that's going to be possible. To grant my wish, I'd have to sacrifice what it means to be a reader ... to become the story. That's The End that I'm looking for.

...

...

...

...

..."

Are you sure?

[...Taking the ticket, however.]
ticketmaster: (Good evening)

[personal profile] ticketmaster 2026-01-18 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. Even if it goes against my goals or follows it completely.

...

What matters more is not the end, but the choices made until then.
bondsofsuffering: ([Heh] misstep to fall)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2026-01-18 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Because you like to see us test our fates?
ticketmaster: (pic#17766878)

[personal profile] ticketmaster 2026-01-18 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Because ... I think I would like to see you all succeed.
bondsofsuffering: ([Look] take another step)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2026-01-18 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
At our own goals?
ticketmaster: (Thoughts)

[personal profile] ticketmaster 2026-01-18 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe. But I feel like success means something different to each person here.
bondsofsuffering: ([Question] or is it really fate)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2026-01-18 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
So as long as we feel we've succeeded, that's fine?
ticketmaster: (pic#18000681)

[personal profile] ticketmaster 2026-01-18 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I think so.

[Thinks about it.]

...I think so...

[personal profile] ticketmaster 2026-01-18 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
It...doesn't feel like the entire answer. If everyone was "satisfied", that would be good, but ... after all this, I don't know if that's enough.
bondsofsuffering: ([Look] discovering that despair)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2026-01-18 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Enough for your own satisfaction? Or something else?
ticketmaster: (pic#17883481)

1/2

[personal profile] ticketmaster 2026-01-18 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
...Something else.

Maybe... ah, it's silly.

...

[personal profile] ticketmaster 2026-01-18 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[She smiles, and before he knows it, he's being shoved into the subway.]

I hope you find The End whatever that will be.
