♕ |[77]| ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them

Before you ask, as someone always does: I would have announced auditions this weekend, for the play, but I think under the circumstances it might be better to hold off until things are back to normal. I love when everyone comes to visit, but it does make it difficult to get work done! And I don't know that the announcement would be as widely noticed today.

Besides, I'm not sure I could concentrate; I'd much rather just visit with everyone.

Welcome to the City, if you haven't been here before-- and if you have, welcome back!



[ooc: Please no other Neils (tho face doubles are fiiiiine) and don't outright tell him he doesn't exist. Otherwise, s'all good. ALSO this post is as always eternally backdating friendly! This is Neil's faaaavorite so do come play 8)]

Yes, I know.

I'm Elpis.

[had_not_lived]

I'm sorry-- if we've met, I don't remember.

[But he's getting the sinking feeling he may be talking to a metaphor. That does happen around here, after all.]

[springseternal]

You can call me Hope, if you like.

[had_not_lived]

Hope.

[He pauses to think about that a moment.]

And you lost me.

[springseternal]

I tried to keep my eye on you, I really did.

[had_not_lived]

Wouldn't you usually say it the other way around?

[springseternal]

Maybe. I'm hard to see sometimes.

[had_not_lived]

If you lost me... it's all right. I mean, not all right, but I don't blame you.

[springseternal]

That's nice of you.

[had_not_lived]

It's not being nice, it's just...

I don't know. I don't think I could blame anyone but myself, that's all.

[springseternal]

Well, I love you, Neil.

[had_not_lived]

Thank you.


I promise, I won't get lost again.
