( 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.

We-- we do?

[he blinks at that, eyes wide, clearly taken aback by her reaction. it's not at all what he expected her first thought to be, but it... definitely makes him warm up to her more. enough to give her more details-- because he just shakes his head.]

I... really do appreciate the thought, but it's been more than ten years since I died. I can't go that far back, even if it's possible... I don't think I would have survived in the end, anyway, if I didn't die when I did.

[disreguarded]

[ look ain't nobody dying for good on beau's watch, she's had enough of that to last her a lifetime. ]

... You're one of the living corpses, then? [ she's working with sketchy knowledge from two different people. ] There's gotta be some way to bring you back. I bet there's magic in my world that could do it.

[deadened]

I... I am. I had my consciousness restored to me.

[he's much more functional than your usual corpse, but... still a corpse.

wen ning tries not to let himself get too hopeful at the mention of magic in her world, but there's definitely interest there as his head tilts slightly.]

Do you really think so--? It must be possible somehow, because it was done when I was brought here... I just don't know how.

[disreguarded]

[ she nods firmly. ]

There's gotta be a way. Look, I know a lot of powerful people. One of them has to know something, and all of them owe me. We'll figure it out.

We gotta get out of this place first, though. One way or another.
