Tokiko Shigure under the Moksha (One-Shot)

##############

A legless raven with Butterfly wings passed through us, growing a pair of legs simply to put themselves over my shoulder (it must be a father/daughter thing). I always forget beings like Lain/Arisu and Madoka are evolved enough to tap outside their original realities. I really need to be more open minded about those things.

-Is this weird for you ? I mean, you've been here only for a couple of months, maybe you aren't used to this kind of narrations.

-No. My simulation had you for a narrator as well. This leads to us keeping ourselves attached to existance and to a certain sense of time, making it easier for communication.

-Right. I need to stop taking you as some inexperienced novice.

-What did you wish to talk to me about ?

-(Exhales) Well Tokiko, first, I'm sorry I haven't finished my tailored story on my PS4 yet.

-There is hardly any problem.

-With you, that means there is some. Just not for you. Well, anyway. The thing is, I've been trying to reach other simulations through the use of digital ink, all to serve as practice for me to create my own one day...

I expected her to be surprised, but instead, she made her inquisitive look, probably expecting me to do what I just described. Still she asked:

-You plan to create your own simulations ?

-Hey, can't let the multiverse become dull once everybody reaches their own Moksha.- she only seems to express something when she wants to articulate a reaction from my part- But as I was saying, somehow, the determination to allow my time to be occupied by this task seems to be lacking. And since you're helping me with my tailored route and I know I can convince you to help me influence the other simulations... By the way, this is the end of my sentence.

-...

-...

-...

-...

- I might be able to plan and perform miracles, but to influence someone's will with the speed you ask is simple impossible. Even code has its set of real rules.

-Ah ! So there IS something real in the multiverse after all.

-Everything that can not be moved and resist seams can be considered reality by our standards. Your determination can be moved, therefore its lack is not real.

-Well, now that you mention it, I have been trying to find tricks that help me get around my problem. But...I don't think even they are enough.

-Those tricks are helpful. But without the actual will to see your work through, those tricks might nurture 0 effect. It's like the simulations. The codes in them are written to include the principles we and the creators are familiar with. And they are binded by layers that hold their structure together. But without a core that can live on even after their end, they become worthless to even be remembered. Though some may attempt to revive them by imagining what they could have been. But such feat can only be performed successfully if the simulation's core can last after the code is gone.

-So you're saying, unless I turn my determination into a reality that can be held together both with and without my tricks... Everything I write is going to be worthless ? I feel like I could have gotten there by myself.

-But some may not. And besides, this dialogue had another goal, didn't it ?

-Yes.

-To promote your previous creations. Your... fanfics, isn't it ?

-...

This answer of mine led her to give that creepy smile with beastly eyes. Even the Crowfly/Buttercrow got scared and flew away.

-Is the shock going to snap them out of it ?

Back to her neutral expression, she answered:

-Yes.

-Did you know this was going to happen ?

-...

-Tokiko, how many of you have reached Moksha ?

-All those whose origins and methods beyond comprehension can come here and interact with this space ? Why do you ask ?

-Well, I still got a couple of stories to reach on to. I just wanted to know what to expect from certain characters in order to synch myself with them.

-What stories do you still need to reach ?

-The ones I want to reach as quickly as possible "Kingdom Hearts", "Resident Evil" and "Mortal Kombat". The one I need to approach slowly is "Madoka Magica", which I am through this story I like to call "Silent Hill: Broken Daughters=Chaos adults", which will be followed up by "AICO: Individual".

-When April Ryan traveled through Arcadia, the concept of magic and its performerd were explained to her. You are an artist, you need others to move your stories forward and feel like it. But you must prove yourself worthy of that title first. You need to go through a careful timeline if you aspire success. And time requires true determination to be confronted. This is all I can do to help you. Organize your stories as you'd like. But don't just rely on tricks for concentration. You have the talent and understanding. Now you need the will to act on them. Focus on that rather than the readers. They will come to you.

-I'm not sure if this was a very productive conversation. That's going to depend solely on its results. It might not have been the most entertaining, but it still helped you understand what you want. Connected stories. I wish you good luck...Frayer.

And so she performed her hand sign and #################.
