I've found myself with somewhat of a slow day today so I thought I'd take the opportunity to get a few of my questions answered.

Is there anything you particularly miss from your home? Or something that make it unique and different from any other place you've been? I doubt we'll get the chance to visit our homes for an extended period any time soon or else I'd just visit and see for myself. As it stands, I'll have to settle for the next best thing.

No need to reply if you're feeling shy but I really would appreciate any answers you're willing to give.

Oh, and before I forget. I received an image awhile back that I was unable to decipher on my own. If someone would be so kind as to explain the meaning behind it, I would be ever so grateful.

[ thanks ren, he still doesn't know wtf it means. ]

I can interpret this strange message.

It's show you as a very strong doglike creature. who broke the other dog's handcuffs.This "John Doe" is clearly ashamed of it, and is blamingbabies for it.

i'm crying

[frostfist]

[ the following message comes a whole minute after the read notification. ]

I see. [ he doesn't see. ] There's just one problem: why would I break my own handcuffs?

@scarf guy

[memors]

Wrio Thee Sley?

[ Maybe they meant "slay" but spelled it wrong...? ]

I'll keep trying to decipher the image. As for your question...I miss going to school.

[ Everyone booed. ]

[frostfist]

[ School is such a valid answer though?? ]

I appreciate the effort. And I believe you can enroll to go to school here if you really wanted to, though you wouldn't be with all your old friends.

[ wh....... what is........... where is netzach (improved) when you need him. this is an art thing, she thinks. what meaning is there to it. they're both clearly supposed to be wriothesley, but... hmm... ]

Maybe... that your citizen self isn't as cool as the real thing? If that's what "John Doe" is referring to. I know it's a pretty common name to give to the nameless dead in some Districts.

And not really. I miss my coworkers more than anything.

[ ... she really hopes they don't visit her place... the city as a whole, sure, why not... it'd be interesting to walk among the people she would've know in another life, but the library itself? forget it. there's too much danger. ]

[frostfist]

[ He really should have gone straight to the source. He'll do that next time. Missing coworkers though….that's a pure answer. ]

Do you miss them enough to wish for them to be brought here as well?

@ice snap

[bowtography]

Ohhhh, I think I've seen something like this before!
It's a comparison! Of...
Are they both supposed to be you? I guess the you with the muscles is supposed to be super cool and if you're acting like a nameless guy, that's... not as cool?

[ huh. ]

Anyway, I think you already know what makes my... uh, "home" unique. I do really miss Pom-Pom and the crew, though.

[frostfist]

John Doe is the name I go by in the city so I can only assume so. Though I'm not sure why just stepping outside would make me less cool.

[ Is it because he babysits kids for a living??? Huh indeed. ]

Do you happen to have any photographs of them with you? I realize it's not the same but sometimes even having something small can help.

@hearse

[wheft]

And you're bringing handcuffs to your day job *why?*

You don't want to visit where I'm from, though. Trust me. I still think your place sounds nice from the descriptions alone.

[frostfist]

You never know when they might come in handy.

[ Admittedly, not usually around kids between the ages of 3-6, but at least he'll be ready if a burglar ever comes busting through the front doors of the preschool. ]

From what you've told me, I'll take your word for it. Though I didn't realize you knew that much about Fontaine.

[ Did he really say that much?? ]

un: red gaze; old man here with in-canon 4chan knowledge (maybe)

[immortalpoet]

i miss things making sense at home but otherwise. nah. nothing

its a meme

who is john doe. is that you as a citizen

thank you old man for your service

[frostfist]

[ A meme….jots that down. ]

That's the name I go by outside of headquarters, yes, though given that I act the same here and out there I'm not sure what the meaning is supposed to be.

[ But it's not really a huge deal. ]

But you really don't miss anything at all? Is that place you're all from really that bad?

un: sanda

[thundercrashes]

Duel Monsters.

[A pause, before he clarifies.]

I mean, I've already told you about the game before once, and I can play it here and teach others how to play too, but what I mean is getting to play professionally against other duelists back home. I want to get back on the stage with my Duel Disk and play in front of an audience to show off for.

[As for the meme... he has no idea what that means either and therefore doesn't address it for now.]

[frostfist]

[ At least he's not alone in his meme illiteracy…. ]

It seems like you'll have to hold onto that dream for a little while longer. How are you holding up in the meantime? Passing the time by playing a few casual games here and there?

@lizard of oz

[bruisehaver]

Perhaps the sender means to say this "John Doe" is inferior to 'Wrio The Sley." Unable to come up with solutions to his problems.
Is that how your name is meant to be spaced out?

As for your first question, something that I long to see once more from my home is a sky in which the stars never fade.
Dawn does not tarnish the Sea of Night each day, in Crèche K'liir.

[frostfist]

Not typically, but I suppose it is something of a difficult name to spell. It's Wriothesley.

[ Exactly why he picked it! But no one cares about the Deep Name Lore. ]

Sea of Night, huh? It does sound like quite the sight. Though personally I think I'd start missing the sun if eternal night was all I ever saw.

un: kijyo

[saudadist]

[ bruh ]

are they both supposed to look like you?

[frostfist]

From what I've gathered, they're both supposed to be me. What, you don't think the resemblance is there?

@setter

[tyrannise]

Volleyball.

[ second message, five minutes later: ]

It's you as a dog twice.

[frostfist]

[ kills kageyama ]

[frostfist]

You know you can still play volleyball here, right?

@rabbit

[seaurchin]

[ sharing about himself? nah. let's decipher the stupid meme instead. ]

We don't have enough context. Were you working somewhere you had to deal with handcuffs?

[frostfist]

[ Megumi.... ]

I bought a pair for myself. I wouldn't say they're necessary where I work offbase, but it never hurts to be prepared.

@macarons

[rikugan]

what preschoolers?

[frostfist]

I'm guessing the ones I work with.

[gimu]

i miss my remaining brothers. they remain back when i came from until i can find a way to bring them here, too.

if handcuffs are going to break that easily, perhaps newer, better ones are in order. good luck, wrio of thesley.

[frostfist]

[ why this…. ]

It's Wriothesley, actually. The spaces don't belong there.

That's some familial dedication you have there though. Do you think they would enjoy it here?

@livelaughlove rolls in here centuries late

[idrila]

I am afraid I have no true insight to offer on the disparate images of the dogs,
but I find them both of them be an absolute delight.
I have yet to come across a dog that is not worthy of praise and pettings 🫳🐕.

As for your question: What do I miss thee most?
That is simple.
I miss flying among the stars ⭐ in my ship 🚀.
Being grounded this long feels unnatural, and it has been a long while since
I found myself stationary in one spot for more than a few days.

i will always accept you no matter how late you are 🥺

[frostfist]

[ hello? ]

You have a ship that can fly among the stars?
