I've been wondering, Scorched.

[ Arthur has been training since before the sun rose: it's visible in the flush across the bridge of his nose, the way his blond bangs are sticking dark to his temples, the slouch of his usually straight-backed posture. But he needs a break, a distraction from his own mind, from the questions that have been plaguing it without concrete answer. ]

Say that the Door started — temporarily — working the way that all doors should, and we could all trip merrily back to our own worlds.

[ A breath, considering whether he's really going to ask. Despite his slightly laconic tone, he knows how depressing some of the answers he'll get will be. But he still wants to know: ]

Would you stay here in Anatole?

Or would you go home?

[renamed]

Never.

I'd never go back.

[ video ]

[heartbetween]

Mm, maybe. If I knew I'd remember. And survive, because of it.

But there're people I'd miss. [One, in particular.]

...To be honest, I'd rather a few people came here.

[ video ]

[earnedmystripes]

Of course.

My family's there, and my job.

[And he knows his partner would come back with him too, so.]

[Video]

[thejakeisalie]

As long as the choice was offered to everyone and not just myself, yes.

[No way in hell he's leaving his partner here all by himself.]

[bloodwhips]

I'm not sure. [ Truthfully spoken, even. ]

[istheseus]

If we went back to our world, would we never be able to come back? Ever again?

[ Could we bring people with us? ]

[mydaddyissues]

I'd return home.

[ Usurpers are and can be beheaded back home. ]

[video]

[sexymandroid]

Why would you stay? I have a lot to go back to.

[ Voice ]

[f_r_e_y_a]

I don't know. I suppose... I'd go home.

[ Even if there was nothing there for her anymore, and she would be hunted, it was familiar. ]

[video]

[moarnomsplz]

It would not be mair, merr-ee. But I would have to go back.

[Private // Voice]

[strategizing]

I think I would go back.

[Voice]

[moralltach]

I'm... really not sure.

[He's decidedly quiet. Much different from how bold he was during their match only days prior.]

[Video]

[handofwinter]

Would we recall what we experienced here?

[voice]

[therainbowking]

[Without any hesitation:]

I would stay.

[sweeping]

[ gwen's voice is very soft when she replies. ]

I don't know.

[Video]

[sucksatkidou]

I'd go home.

[Even if meant he and Rukia wouldn't have the understanding at home that they do here.]

voice;

[magnificat]

I would leave. I don't belong here, I have other things to do.

[breakspromises]

Never thought you'd ask a profound question, Artie.

[lumenrelegandus]

I'd stay, unsurprisingly…

[though, more surprisingly, is his obvious difficulty in saying it. Despite known factors]

Sometimes I can't tell if choosing contentment, if acceptance, is wisdom or cowardice, victory or defeat. If only one could shake such dichotomies.

[voice] - this is superlate

[princely_calyx]

That's a good question. I think... I'd stay here.

[roseinpromenade]

Are we talking 'purely your choice' or 'keeping in mind certain responsibilities'?

Given the chance, I'd stay here. What is there for me at home? Nothing personally compelling. But I have duties, same as any of us.
