( 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.

Well, don't worry about it. It turned out fine.

[ it's weird, because taka hasn't discussed what happened with anyone outside of the group that was involved.

even now he feels uncomfortable bringing it up to senri. ]

... I guess....?

[ . . . he deflates a little bit, pouting.

there's a second of uncomfortable silence before he tilts his head]

... hey, I need you to tell me something.

... what is it?

[ this better not be about something gross. ]

[taka things all feelings are gross

but senri just looks at him as seriously as he can]

We're partners, right?

[ he wasn't expecting that. ]

... yeah?

[ . . . and senri just nods then, seeming to settle at that a bit more.]

.... okay.

Then if we're partners, we both have to get out of this weird situation. I can't go home without you, you can't go home without me.

[ he should probably point out that he's been here for several months at this point

but he decides not to, since that will probably just freak senri out again. ]

Fine. Deal.

[it sure would!]

... mm, deal.

[and he'll extend his hand to taka, like he wants them to shake on it]

[ he glances at the hand

and will slowly reach forward and take it. they are shaking hands. ]

[ . . . yeah. that seems to sit well with senri. and he'll just squeeze taka's hand once before letting go, offering up a smile - ]

Now we definitely have to get your memories of me back!

You even said some kind of decent things to me? You won't believe it until you remember for yourself though.

I don't understand why I wouldn't remember you...

[ did they actually become friends? is that possible?? ]

Mm... I don't know why I wouldn't remember you either, unless you did something really big that...

[that could've hurt him a lot. and he thinks that the more he remembers about that first week, that could've been possible.

he put a lot of trust in taka, after all. a lot of hope, too.]

.... nevermind. It's probably something dumb.

[ hm

he crosses his arms. ]

You think I fucked up somehow.

[ senri did blame taka earlier and claim that whatever fight they had was his fault. ]

[ . . . . yea, he does but - ]

... Or I did.

[there's the possibility of that,,]

... but you don't even remember how hard I was trying so it's not like you'd believe me.

[ he makes a note to ask ray or sasuke about this later. maybe one of them would have had some sort of idea about this; it's obvious that if senri doesn't remember either of the two, then they must have been important to him somehow, so. they're his best bet. ]

All I know is that-- I don't know. Somehow, you mattered enough that you're supposedly a piece of my soul. I don't know if that means something bad happened, or what...

[ . . . and he'll just laugh a little bit - ]

Or what, something good happened between us?

Ah, if they really took something like that from us, that's really mean of them, you know? We've been arguing for nearly a year...! It'd be nice if that changed somewhere...

[lmao]

Highly unlikely.

[ maybe something really big happened that involved senri? it doesn't have to be something very good, or very bad objectively, but... maybe if it was something that mattered enough, it would explain why he had to forget him entirely. ]

Whatever. We either figure it out or we don't.

- eh? We have to figure it out! I want all the parts of my soul back, even your part!

[bEING IN PIECES SOUNDS SO SCARY]

Go find someone else to sleep with.

[ bitch ]

First! Don't say it like that.

Second! I don't know anyone else here that well yet, so no.

[he'll take the devil roommate he knows than the devil he doesn't]

[ he snorts ]

So hurry up and befriend someone else then.

You know I will but - don't be a jerk and leave me behind that fast...!

[ :( :( :( ]

Stop saying annoying things.

Anyway, it's easy to get used to things here. You don't have to be as on edge around the others.

[ . . . hmmm, he tilts his head]

Did you make friends?

What? No. I didn't say that.

[ shut up senri ]
