poor innocent soul

My name is Alma, and what a lovely day it is. [This Alma is from the revised timeline of Ghost Trick - the 'everyone lives and no one is sad' timeline, if you will.]

….Alma?!

….uh.  Forgive me madam, I mistook you for someone else.  

Detective Jowd.  Though I’m going to hazard a guess that you already knew that.

[almacandida-blog]

...

Yes, I did know that. This will be hard to accept, I'm sure, and my memory of all that happened is a little rusty, but, it is me, sweetheart. Alma. Hello.

I—! You were-!

If he earlier had thought that today wouldn’t get any worse, then her appearance had proven him wrong. It’s not the one he remembers and he know it but he’s tired and old memories like her at a time like this seem like some kind of punishment. Gods really are merciless tonight.

…Alma, was it?

Maybe talking about death wasn’t the best idea at the moment. Especially since he wasn’t really himself.

[a cock of the head, a drawing tight of the eyebrows, a study of the lines on his face] 

Yes, Alma. And, the way you're talking about it -- either something's gone horribly for you, or you're not really who you look to be. 

[Either way, he's certainly not hers. That's always a minor disappointment.] 

[almacandida-blog]

So it has been! And here I was almost thinking I’d made you up. But I’m glad I didn’t, or, at least, I’m glad I trusted that my imagination just wasn’t that good.

[might-as-well-laugh]

Alma, you don’t understand - it’s been so long. I’ve kept sketching you, but

there’s someone you have to meet.

[almacandida-blog]

Oh, you'll have to show me sometime. And who is that, then? I know you only attract the interesting types.

[almacandida-blog]

Pardon me?

[nooothinglikeme]

About tiiime you joined us here!

Ignore my face, it’s like that time I got boobs for three days except worse, it’ll pass. Shucks, I’m so happy to talk to you!

[almacandida-blog]

C... Cabanela, is that you in there? What on earth -- you know what, actually, I think it'd be best to not answer that. I think I have my suspicions. 

[almacandida-blog]

Now, there’s no need to exaggerate. 

[thelivingred]

I’m not kiddin’, ten years. How much do you know about this big happy timeline resolution shit.

[almacandida-blog]

Happy timeline resolution...?

Well, give me the benefit of the doubt and sum it up as 'nothing at all.' What do you mean? 

[almacandida-blog]

Goodness, but it’s been so long. Almost has me wondering if I’d just dreamed so many things up.

[might-as-well-laugh]

Hi dear. Long time no see.

Alma, baby!

[almacandida-blog]

Pardon me?

[almacandida-blog]

Absolutely amazing! Now, it’s been some time, but haven’t you changed a bit? Still a little rough around the edges, but something seems just a tad … different with you. 

[thelivingred]

…

It’s been about ten years since I’ve seen you, lady. A regular relic. You are—so am I. I’m breathing and that’s been different.

[almacandida-blog]

Now, there's no need to exaggerate. 

[almacandida-blog]

Wow!

[thelivingred]

Incredible.

Hello, dear.

[almacandida-blog]

It's even been long enough that any inklings of a grudge seem to have evaporated away. It's very exhausting, being upset, you know. I don't have it in me.

might-as-well-laugh replied to your post: Hi sweetie. I hope this isn’t a goodbye, but in case it is. I can’t even say I’ll miss you, ha ha. But I would if I could. You are wonderful. And I am glad to know that you are loved.

I couldn’t leave without greeting you, could I? I usually don’t want to bother you, but I would’ve felt even worse if I’d stayed silent this time.

No no no.

You types have a certain way of talking and this is either 'bye, I'm off on a case, I absolutely must be over dramatic or I'll lose my badge' or 'we're never going to see one another again' and I'm utterly afraid it's that second one, and I just will not have it.

Hi sweetie. I hope this isn't a goodbye, but in case it is. I can't even say I'll miss you, ha ha. But I would if I could. You are wonderful. And I am glad to know that you are loved.

I'm sorry, but -- what?
