Heaven's BBS | Video (because spelling is hard when you're six)

[ The video opens to Nanako sprawled on her stomach, kicking her feet in the air behind her but her expression is one of serious thought. Although she looks a little shy and uncertain about leaving a message like this, she also looks pretty determined, too. This... hadn't been something she was sure about asking her big brother, so instead she tries here. Maybe that will be easier? Or people will be less quick to guess why she might be asking... ]

Sooo.... this is heaven, right? And where people go after they die?

If someone died a while ago, can you find them here somewhere?

[ shhhh, she's totally being subtle here, Leo. ]

I... I was just wondering?

voice

[brynwieldr]

Well...I think this is a different part of heaven than where most of the dead souls go. I handle some of those souls as Odin, and I've never seen them here.

[Is any of this true? Maybe not but it's a more delicate way to handle this and that is all anyone can ask for with Leo]

[ A puzzled frown, because she hadn't realized that there were more parts than what she'd seen so far. ]

Do you know where that other part is?

voice

[brynwieldr]

I don't, Nanako, I'm sorry.

voice

[welcome_home]

Oh.

[ It's obvious that's not the answer she was hoping for.

But after a flicker of disappointment, she still manages to muster a smile for him in gratitude. ]

It's okay. I can just keep looking. Thank you, though.

voice

[brynwieldr]

Who are you looking for? Perhaps I can help.

[ She hesitates, because admitting that out loud...

Finally, she sighs, ducking her head. ]

My mom.

voice

[brynwieldr]

I see. Then I'll keep an eye out for her. I imagine she looks a lot like you?

[ Nanako makes a face. ]

I... think so? I don't remember her very well. She had long hair though.

voice

[brynwieldr]

[There's a soft chuckle, even though he realizes this means she was very young when her mother died, younger than she is now]

I see. I'll keep an eye out for her, Nanako.

voice

[welcome_home]

[ Her smile is a bit more genuine this time. ]

Okay! Thank you. I'll keep looking, too. Maybe I'll find her somewhere else.
