Where Are They Now? (5 Year Edition)

[dead_black_eyes]

This meme was done before in this game, right here, and that is where I am stealing it from. But instead of giving characters the option to return home in this hypothetical scenario, the war is still going on five years from the current date in-game, and BREW still needs everyone.

The question is, what has happened in those five years? The children have become adults, the adults are just a little older without being old, and goodness knows a lot can change in that amount of time. Maybe you're thriving, in your business or your partnership. Maybe not. Either way, with no end in sight, life goes on in the city named after Death.


INSTRUCTIONS

-Post with your characters(s)
-Write a short blurb about what has happened in five years. Love, heartbreak, sickness, wealth, what was in the cards for your Weapon or Meister, and what has it shaped them into? Set a scene for the present.
-Tag others in the scene they kindly set.
-Profit$$$$$$$$

I know.

[Troll romance really can't apply to humans at all; he knows this.

Near reaches for his pocket and pulls out a memory card, then throws it onto Matt's desk. The files are heavily encrypted like always; he can't risk having someone snatch it away and see what's in it, after all. Top Secret bsns means srs bsns.]

Everything you need to know about it is in that memory card.

[ he pauses the game to give Near proper attention, since this seemed to be serious business. He doesn't, however, put it down or turn it off, since he doesn't expect this visit to take long.

Not with Near. ]

Hm. How nice of you to came all the way to drop this. [ and not call Matt to go pick it ]

Is everything okay?

[cardfortress]

I am a nice person.

[Saying that out loud almost makes him gag.

Anyway. While he usually doesn't stay very long, and even though he dislikes and sucks at small talk, there is something else he wants to talk to Matt about.]

How kind of you to ask. Yes, everything is okay, but there is something I want to ask you about: what is Mello planning?

[He knows his partner is up to something, but he doesn't know what, and that annoys him to no end.]

[3rdbest]

[ aha, he knew it.

Matt smiles and returns back to his game ]

You should know by now that, even if I knew anything, I wouldn't tell you.

[cardfortress]

I don't see why not. If he's doing something he shouldn't, I have the right to know.

[He probably isn't; they've been partners in crime enough times by now that Mello knows Near would probably help him with whatever stunt he's trying to pull, but he still doesn't want him to get in trouble.]

Don't you care about his well being, Matt?

[3rdbest]

Emotional blackmail also doesn't work with me, you should know that.

[ matt shrugs ] But honestly I have no idea. I assume he would faster tell you, even so. Since you are his weapon. [ and Mello often needs weapons (a weapon) for this plans, if they are dangerous ]

[cardfortress]

[Cue childish pouting. Some things never change.]

I'll figure it out, with or without your help.

[With his help would have been faster, but Near has no problem with doing things the hard way.]

[3rdbest]

Pretty sure you will, don't pout.

[ Matt can't help but to smile at that, really ]
