Has anyone seen prince Stolas? He was here last night, safe and sound, but when I woke up, he was just gone, no note or anything. I know people usually disappear or wake up or whatever at the start of the month, but during? Dad would tell me if he was going anywhere. I'm scared.

Please let me know if you see him. I need to try and not freak out.

Yeah, this world does function in very strange ways when it comes to arrivals and departures that we can’t predict who might go poof all the sudden.

It is very messed up indeed.

[systemofadowny]

I don't like it. Maybe dad just woke up from all of this, but...why? Did something happen? Has he been here so long that it was time or something?

It's starting to feel existential.

[grandduchess_anya]

From what the tapirs said, time doesn’t seem to move a bit as long as we’re all asleep and it will only go back again if we wake up in our worlds. I’m very worried that a dear friend will be worried about me when I first went into another world and then arrived in this world but he hasn’t woken up the last time I saw him and that was over 3 years ago at least to me.

Maybe there is something that happened back in your world and that must brought him back to the waking world? Something urgent perhaps?

[systemofadowny]

I'm afraid to imagine what might've woken him up. But you have a point. Maybe something happened that needed his attention. I just. I hope it's nothing too serious. Things haven't been easy for him.

But I guess by that logic, it's possible he could come back once he wakes up...

[grandduchess_anya]

Agreed. I also hope that your father is going to be alright while he is currently in your world. Hopefully it won’t hit him too hard.

Yeah that is exactly correct. We will just have to wait and hope that he will eventually return to this world safely from his trip back to the waking world.

[systemofadowny]

We'll find out soon enough, I guess.

The wait's gonna suck. I don't like being alone in the house, so I might. Ask some friends if they're willing to stay a few days or if they're willing to let me stay with them.

[grandduchess_anya]

Oh yes, the waiting time is going to be a painfully tough one. I’m going to see if anyone I know is willing to drop by at your house or I could come over to visit as well.

I also have some pets who could help brighten up your day if that is okay by you.

[systemofadowny]

That sounds amazing. If that's not a problem with you. I'd meet you half way, but I look awful right now. I can prepare some tea, if you'd like.

[grandduchess_anya]

Oh yes, tea is very much welcomed as well.
