( 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.

[COUNTING OFF ON HIS FINGERS:]

Yes, I have no idea but aren't they all bad?, probably but precautions don't deter the most bullheaded people, I don't think so, and we don't usually have one.

[Maybe next world they will finally get a fire department. ANYWAY, he gives Senri a considering look, tapping his chin.]

—Hoh. Well, then! How strange. But this game of theirs still involved someone dying every Thursday and a trial being held, I assume? And people were pulled from all worlds and times to be there? Were the dead brought back at the end? Were you supposed to be on your way home just now?

[he's talking to an anarchist

that slowly dawns on him as he just. looks increasingly horrified as wwx returns fire with the questions]

How is this a trend?!

[i read that as antichrist first and was like yeah honestly fair mood HE IS ALSO AN ANARCHIST THOUGH, YES. One who looks faintly amused by all this yelling, god.]

That's a question I'd also like an answer to, to be honest. Accepting multiple places that act as a hub for space and time travel is one thing, but those exact circumstances - it's a little too coincidental, don't you think?

[it's the hanae natsuki yelling, very distinctive, very easy to here]

It is.... [and he's pouting about it] I think murder house sounds worse - at least for ours it was something that even looked like it had rules.

But... if that's some weird trick of the universe, I don't like it. I hope it's not some kind of fad or trend.

[the fourth wall is shaking]

[THAT GRADE-A BRAND MONKEY HOTEL SCREECHING.]

Haha, a little more organization does sound better in these circumstances! Who knows about trends, though. Maybe there's just a great cosmic power on an omnipotent plane of reality out there somewhere that likes to watch people go through this specific sort of suffering?

[He is coming for the fourth wall's life.]

If that's true, then I think that great cosmic power needs some better taste? Instead of 'everyone dies on Thursday' I think we should start a new trend called 'everyone gets piles of money on Thursday'! And on Saturdays, instead of trials, it's tropical vacations!

Makes me think that should've been my wish from the gods!

Mm, well! Gods are fickle things, and it's not like there's a single power in all of these worlds that can't be outdone by another out there somewhere, anyway. If you were given a wish at all, it's best to just speak what's on your mind at the time, I think.

[He has absolutely no firsthand experience with gods and wish-granting but he sure speaks with the certainty of someone who's lived through some shit.]

[HMMMM - senri pauses at that before crossing his arms and looking away a little. though his crossed arms look almost more like he's giving himself a hug, or holding himself together]

.... I think I did... Or, well - I had a long time to change my mind on what I should use my wish on...

But I think what I ended up choosing in the end... It was the best thing I could've done.

[Senri... He reaches out to try patting his shoulder. As long as he's not a secret megalomaniac serial killer who wished for ultimate power in his own world, Wei Wuxian will support him! (wwx, pointing at senri) i just think he's neat]

As long as you think that, then it's fine, yes? Especially if you had a long time to think it through. And anyway, a wish itself might be a once-in-a-lifetime thing, but it's not like there are no other ways of making the impossible happen!

[This would be a Mr. Roger's type inspirational quote if it weren't for his goblin energy...]

[ . . . he hums softly]

Normally I'd disagree with that - but it'd be kind of tone deaf in this situation? This already feels pretty impossible, but we're all here anyway so....

Haha, true enough, the impossible does seem to happen here whether we want it to or not.

[SOME OF IT HE HATES. Others are fine, they can stay.]

Anyway! Anything else I can help you with in the meantime? I can give you a tour of the void but following the train tracks will get that done for you. There's the store - a lot of people sleep there, and you don't have to pay for anything but you have to take your items in bulk. There's the airport with planes that don't go anywhere, there's the center, what else... Ah! Some relics from old worlds, nothing too important. The hotspring is new though, so that's probably a hint at what's to come. Haven't poked around through it yet so take care if you have a peek.

You're really helpful... Uh - maybe a tour if you don't mind showing me around a little! [he just doesn't like to be left alone, honestly, especially in new places]

What did you say your name was again?

[they started into the eye of the fourth wall together but didn't exchange names i hate this]

[SOMETIMES NAMES AREN'T IMPORTANT IN THE FACE OF STARING INTO THE EYE OF THE FOURTH WALL. It's fine, it's fine.]

I don't mind! I'll take you to the airport first - that's my favorite. [He probably sleeps there sometimes like the cave ruffian he is, it's fine. ANYWAY HE'LL JUST GESTURE VAGUELY AND TURN, expecting Senri to follow as he meanders and rambles.]

Ah - right, right. My name is Wei Wuxian! And you are?
