( WELCOME BACK, TRAVELERS. )



There's nothing but the clatter of train tracks, and the odd feeling of almost floating.

When you wake, it's hard to tell exactly what it is that you're missing - only that you are. There are pieces that aren't quite right, even if you're not sure where those pieces would normally be. Pieces of what, exactly....? Well, if you had to put a word to it, it would be - yourself, probably. Or did you get something back recently? In addition, characters will find that they've been allowed to bring back souvenirs from this most recent trip - trinkets, nothing violent, but items that can fit in your character's pockets, whether that be sentimental or otherwise.

The place you've found yourself in is strange, certainly. It's probably worth exploring a bit. For those who have been here a while, they might notice some expansions. Though it just as easily seems that the only form of welcome or explanation that you have, comes from nothing more than a slab of marble.

It might've changed since the last time you saw it. Today it reads:
(*´ω`)o That wasn't so bad, was it?
Hey, you know how that old song goes?
Do you believe in magic? (☆▽☆) Do ya?

Hope you found what you were looking for!

You might have changed since the last time you saw yourself too - perhaps with a new emblem on your clothes, or a portrait on your skin. In addition to that, it seems like Home Base is on the fritz again…?

It seems that suddenly and at random, characters will be able to suddenly see visions of memories that aren't their own flash before their eyes. Pieces of your lives or where you were before this will suddenly slam into other's heads, as clearly as if they experienced the event and the feelings themselves. You might have an inkling of where your memory went and what it was - but you'll need to talk it out with that person in order to recollect it in all its strength back to yourself. Don't you want to keep those precious parts of yourself? It's best if you don't fall more to pieces while you're here. (Memories that have been lost in fragments cannot be sent to others - that's more fun for the future!)

There's no need to fret that much though. You've already gone through the ordeal once, and you might be able to see results from it. Or maybe you'll get a glimpse of where you're going next. Even so, it's best that you don't get too comfortable, because there is still the unshakeable feeling:

There's still much more ahead of you.

[The amount of people here willing to help out and answer her questions is a nice surprise. Guess that's what happens when they're all in the same interdimensional boat.]

Well, my only question is how do we leave, but I'm thinking if you knew the answer to that, you would all be long gone by now.

[It's hard to settle on questions to ask, when you're not sure what's happening to begin with. She's been going with the flow and it's working out so far. Incredibly. ]

Kinda thought this was all a dream at first and now that it's not, I'm not really sure what to do, but hey-things will work out. They have to. We'll all work together and get outta here.

A wonderful attitude to have!

[10/10, absolutely the best, he loves a good optimist.]

But yes, you're right about that. Some people have left before - presumably, anyway? - but we have no idea what the how or the why is, there. [WHO KNOWS WHERE DROPPED CHARACTERS GO it is a mystery.]

Other than that, it seems the only way to get back to where we need to go is by collecting enough pieces of ourselves to make it manageable. No telling when that might be, considering we have newcomers joining us between every world and there's no way of telling if one world will give you anything back in the first place.

[That's some good intel-unexpectedly coherent, given the state of this place. The weird message spoke of pieces too, but she can't think of anything she's lost. How are they supposed to win this?]

So how many pieces of yourself have you found? Did you notice anything missing before or-?

[Was he in the same boat as her?]

[He's very coherent when he's not being a babbling maniac. THE WAY OF THE WORLD...]

One so far, I believe! [It's two, but he sure didn't realize the first one was missing before he got it back, god.]

Some of the things you can notice pretty easily, and others are hard to spot. Like, say - a dear friend of mine was missing his forehead ribbon! He'd never go anywhere without it and he got it back already, so we know that was a piece. But some people are missing memories and don't notice they're gone.

[Well, she's not missing any memories. There's no way someone could go into her mind and just delete parts of her life.

That's what she wants to believe, but his words cause doubt to settle in her mind and she looks disturbed, for just a moment.
]

We have to get them back, right? [There's a pause, and-] Yeah, we have to. If we're missing anything-we'll definitely find them all and put them right back in our minds where they belong.

[FAIR MOOD. If he were a person who was easier to ruffle, the missing memories is what he'd be the most agitated about, too. But his memory is already shit without any magic interference, and he's not particularly fussed about most things in the longterm, anyway. God.]

Of course! I'll say we don't exactly know how much we can trust from that stone slab, but one thing it is telling the truth about is that you regain missing pieces by experiencing life in other worlds. Strong emotional ties or experiences, living through things that mirror parts of your original life - things like that.

Oh yeah?

[This is the weird. It's like they've all been transported into the plot of some random movie and the antagonist is-who? A person that took their memories and wants them all to succeed in getting them back?]

Guess there's no point in dwelling on it. It'll happen soon enough.

[And because he was so nice, she brandishes his heeleys high in the air.]

Here, I think you've earned these back. Thanks for getting me up to date.
