Meyaouing Goodbye

I'm so bored with it all. --Winston Churchill

I have been working a greatly on the Chains of Promethia missions, in an effort to unlock the ethereal world of Sea. In as much as Sky was such a dissapointment, I haven't really thought much about getting it. I mean, yeah, it has a lot of new activities and many people gather there; but the missions are a pain. And when it comes down to it, why do anything in this game unless you are doing it for the fun of it. I mean.. why put in butterflys in the game if they weren't intended to be chased? But on the weight of friendships, I have been talked into getting Sea not only in principle but in a short amount of time. This has been a difficult prospect, especially when it comes to paying for materials, and taking breaks. But so far so good.

Well, all missions aside, I have been progressing well enough on Red Mage. I'm not going as fast as I could given I am staticing, but that has never been my imperitive. I am progressing with my friend through the levels, the rest will come as it may. Such friends have been many during my time online, and hope to keep building more and more. I've started saying that the reason I am staying is that there are too many bastards and too many angels; both to defy and embrace.

I remember some of the first people I've known who quit; Artemez and Hyori both invited me over and over in parties, and they were the first people to really pay me many compliments. I kinda glowed when Hyori said I was a good player. They even helped me get my first G2 run (I remeber falling asleep after that during work, but I had to do it). But between the two of them, they took the time to give me advice and pointers that I still use now. I never had echo drops or oils on me at all times until then. And they're advice continues to be sound.

Of course, not many could grasp exactly how valuable this game has been to me in meeting new people, no matter how often I complain. There is a wealth of insecurities and disorders that are perfectly invisible when disguised with a wall of text. Yet, while it does hurt to see people go, it is very hard to say "don't go" when leaving the game is as good a decision as staying. So how do you say goodbye? Unfortunatly, about the best I could say is "Meyaou" and possibly "Thanks for all the Tuna." Still, saying goodbye is a common theme. And most importantly must include "Good Luck, Faith and Fortune for your Future." Finally, top it off with "Walk in beauty."

This is a test. It is only a test. Had it been an actual job, you would have received raises, promotions, and other signs of appreciation. --Anonymous
