Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Hello, everyone. 

So...I don’t know how to say this. Some of you may have noticed that I haven’t posted for a little bit, and that’s because life has been pretty busy, but...I’m leaving. Permanently. I might pop back in Valentine’s Day 2019, and maybe after I’ll stay for a bit. But I’m not sure what the future holds. 

There are also a lot of things that I’m just dealing with right now, so don’t think it’s any of you. You all have become like family to me, an online community that I can escape to and write without being judged. Every single one of you have made some sort of positive impact on my life, so I thank all of you, especially the Admins, for being supportive and kind to me. I definitely won’t forget you, but you won’t see the likes of me for a while. Trust me, I will miss each and every single one of you, and I apologise in advance to any RP I was a part of (they were stellar RPs, and you can do whatever you want with my characters). 

I hope that this community continues to grow and support each other through thick and thin; a lovely online family like this doesn’t happen often- please cherish it and help it continue, and remember to always be kind to everyone you know. 

Sayonara and until we meet again,

Kyoto (京都) <3 

 

 

Thank you for the nice post, Kyoto. You will be missed. Come back any time!

Oh no. No. Nonononono. *hyperventilates*

This...this is real, isn't it? This is happening. It doesn't feel real. It might take awhile to register in my brain. You're leaving. Actually leaving. But I knew when I clicked on the thread. Even though it started with '...' I knew, somehow. I hoped that it wouldn't be, but it was a false hope. I'm not going to try to convince you stay. If this is the best thing for you, I understand. But it's tearing me apart. 

Kyoto...the CB won't be the same without you. You're such a kind, amazing person, and you're such a talented writer. I've been so lucky to know you here, and you're one of the CBers that I really look up to. I feel like you're even one of the CBers that I would consider a friend, and I don't use the word 'friend' lightly.

I wish you didn't have to go. I'm gonna miss you so much. We all will. I hope you come back someday, at least to visit. 

*hugs* *tears up* Farewell, Kyoto. <3

*sniff sniff* I'm literally tearing up right now... Kyoto... you were one of my first friends on the CB...

*wails*

AAAAAA I just have tooooo *takes a running leap and knocks Kyoto to the ground in a huge tackle hug* Come back and visit... I'll be waiting for you at Valentine's day 2019, my friend.... Until then, farewell.

Oh. I wasn't expecting this. I knew you hadn't been on, but I didn't think you would make it permanent. Are you leaving Kyngdom, too? Does it count as an RP? If not, what do we do with Mina? This seems so trivial and selfish when you've written something so kind and sincere, like trying to drag out the last few threads of your involvement past the ending knot you want to put it all in, make it an agonizing, messy end instead of a clean one. Sorry.

I feel like I've been rude to you in the past. I got rubbed the wrong way a couple of times and built a pointless grudge off of it. I'm sorry. I let it go as best I could a while back, although it feels strange not to carry the weight of it, and I occasionally forget that it's gone.

I'll miss you, even if my judgement was clouded for so long that I barely knew you without that lens.

Aw, man. I know you just told me IRL, but this post still makes me super sad. I just don’t know what to say...but thank you for being my inspiration and pushing me to join Cricket. I really have grown as a writer, and I have especially you to thank for it. I will miss you on here a lot, so please come back Valentine’s Day 2019! 

See you later,

Pinkie

K-Kyoto? Your leaving? Wow, that was unexpected. Yet even so, once I saw this thread I knew you would be leaving.

Well, Kyoto, I always respected, and liked you alot. You have a kind, fun spirit, and... I. I need you to know that you are loved. And that all of us will miss you very, very much and it will seem weird for you to be gone. 

So.. I guess... goodbye?

PS.

I will be praying for your day to day situation, and I know how hard dealing with stuff can be. 

PPS

XOXOXOX 

=)

What?!

Okay.  I understand that you're busy, and I know how it feels to have to give something up for your outside life.  (gosh I'm so bad at goodbyes, I wish I was as talented with words as literally everyone else here)

And I respect your descision.  If you ever find your way to California, find me, okay? 

I'll see you 'round.

Whoa. This is the first time I've seen a leaving thread. I never got to know you well, Kyoto... but this is still sad. I sincerely hope that life treats you well and... and...*cannot think of anything else to say* *shakes head and goes to cry in a corner* Goodbye, Kyoto.

Why are we saying goodbye to someone we never knew?

Because it's polite, Tric! Stop being so rude!

Immm with Dewy here.

Why are you talking in CAPTCHA?

ALL OF YOU, SHUT UP! THIS IS SERIOUS! *Sigh* I apologise. There's been a lot of arguing since Tric came along. So... where was I?

... You were crying in a corner?

Aaa. Yes. *Goes back to sobbing in corner*

Oh, Kyoto. You are such a beautiful, amazing person and you will be sorely missed by each and every CBer. I hope with all my heart that you will one day return for awhile and bring your beautiful, bright personality back to the CB. 

Thank you so much for being a great person every day. I hope amazing things happen to you in your future. Good luck and sayonara!
