In this roleplay, Asriel leaves for Gotham before returning to Toontown four years later. He says goodbye to everyone except for his brother in arms--Ranar.
It was late that night as Asriel, being the heartbroken fool that he was, had packed up his suitcase and belongings. As he was on his way to Gotham. His father, was good friends with this Bruce Wayne fellow and staying with him would be the most vital option. So he had a place to stay while finishing off his education at Gotham University. It city was set a few decades ahead of their time, but lucky the train he was going on broke the laws of time and space. He didn't know who made such a contraption, but was thankful to see what was beyond his own time.
Before he could go, he had to make a few goodbyes. He already did so back at home with his mother and father, even to Sammy and the Inky Searcher Squad. The Butcher Gang as well go their fair share of farewells.... There was just one other he was missing. It was Ranar. Hopefully he was out and about down this route to the train station. He didn't want him to go searching for him while he was in a different place, in a different time.
Coincidentally, Ranar was standing by a route to the train station. Minding his own business, and leaning against a concrete wall while staring off into space. He was unaware of the current situation Asriel was in, mainly because he hasn’t had time to speak with him in a while. But on the inside, he worried for him gravely. But Ranar brushed off the thought and sighed. He remained in his position.
Within the his gazing sight, Asriel spots Ranar. He rushes over to pick up his pace before stopping beside the hooded demon. "Oh thank Satan I could meet with you again. It's kind of rare that we get to see each other." Asriel replies back, placing his hand onto his chest. He was a tad bit winded for rushing over to his brother. With a rolling suitcase and all.
Ranar flinched a bit,, but he soon heard the sound of Asriel’s voice, and he looked up to see his brother standing in front of him with a suitcase. And on the inside, he was totally confused. “Asriel? Wow, its been a while.” He looked at the suitcase and said “what’s with the suitcase?”
"Oh... This?" Asriel looks down at his black suitcase before turning his attention back at Ranar. "I'm going somewhere for a little while. Well... Give or take four years..." The demon chuckles a bit anxiously. Hoping Ranar wouldn't try to stop him, he was doing this for his own good and wanted his father to be proud of him to move on of what happened as of late.
Ranar went silent for a bit and sighed. He then patted Asriel’s shoulder “I’m sure you have a good reason for leaving. But I will truthfully miss you. I’m guessing you came to me to say goodbye right?” He asked.
"Y-Yeah..." Asriel nods. "After Prima broke up with me... I was devastated and broken. I wouldn't leave my bed or even hardly ate anything... Dad thought it would be good for me to finish my education, and see the world.." He kept it vague, just in case if Ranar wanted to follow. He heard Gotham was pretty high with crime, and didn't want that worry on Ranar's mind. "Sorry I couldn't get to you earlier. We don't write or anything."
Ranar nodded, “And I apologize for not trying to reach you sooner as well. I’ve been..busy.” He tilted his head. He had heard of Prima, but didn’t know the full details of who she really was. He only knew that she was Asriel’s girlfriend. Well, Ex-Girlfriend now. “But anyways, wherever you choose to go to finish your education, I wish you luck. I just hope you won’t forget me.” He shrugged.
"I promise I won't. Before you know it, I'll be back home and you and I can hang out some more." Asriel smiles. "I know Lil Haven Theater has a good mini-bar." Asriel chuckles with a smile. "Would you like to walk with me to the train station?"
Ranar looked around, and pondered at his invite for a few moments. Then he said “why not. It’s a good opportunity to say an official goodbye to my brother.” He patted Asriel’s back and started to walk with him to the train station.
Asriel smiles as he and his brother walk down to the train station. It felt rather nice to be with someone on this long travel to be so far away from home. Once they were there, he takes out his train ticket, forgetting that it was in view as it said the name of the City that was on there.
Ranar noticed the train ticket, and the city name on it. He stared a couple moments before turning his attention to the train. Ok the inside, he was a little worried about Asriel, but he made no hints to show it. Once Asriel was done, he turned to him and said “so I guess this is where we say goodbye, huh.” He didn’t mention the fact he saw the city name.
"Yeah... This is good bye..." Asriel replies a bit sad. He was going to miss him. Before Ranar could do anything, Asriel pulls him into a tight hug before he heard the conductor call out that the train was leaving for Gotham. "Got to go! See you in four years!" Asriel lets go and waves frantically, as he leaves to the train.
Ranar waved as well, and said “see you” after the train was out of sight, he sighed. A part of him wanted to go after Asriel, but he knew that he could never do that, since Asriel was a grown demon that could care for himself. And in the near future, he couldn’t wait to see him again. Ranar then turned away from the station, and slowly walked off into the night.
