( 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.

So you only had one? But then, why wouldn't you...

[He pauses, biting his lip, before:]

No - never mind.

No, no, no.

[ she stops in her tracks, because she knows EXACTLY where that's going. it's hard not to be so familiar when it hurts like this. ] Don't you start. Stop that. Saving it wouldn't have done us any good. We couldn't replicate it.

I'd do it again the same exact way, every time, to save you.

[personal profile] counterclocked 2020-04-30 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
I...

[Something about that determination, that fierce kind of fondness - it makes his heart ache a little bit for her. He pauses, glancing down at the ground.]

Sorry.
disreguarded: [ᴍɪᴋᴀɴᴅɪɪ] (33)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-04-30 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ a pause. she collects herself. ]

-- No, you don't have to apologize. [ she says, reaching up to adjust the beanie on her head. ] I should. It's gotta be weird to have some stranger yell at you for something you didn't even do.
counterclocked: (pic#13619935)

[personal profile] counterclocked 2020-04-30 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
No, it's... I would probably be upset if someone I cared about said something like that.

[...]

The girl you said saved me - was it you?
disreguarded: [ᴋᴜʜᴋᴏᴏᴋ_] (31)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-04-30 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ she opens her mouth - and then closes it. conflicted for a moment, then reluctantly: ]

... No. It wasn't. Some other girl, one of your friends. [ she can't lie to him about something like that, even if she wants to. ]
counterclocked: (pic#13615418)

[personal profile] counterclocked 2020-04-30 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
...Is something wrong?

[He noticed that reluctance!!]
disreguarded: (13)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-04-30 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ HUFF. ]

No. It just would've been really easy to lie and say I saved you, but I won't do that to you. [ and even MORE reluctantly: ] I had a whole - thing, with her, we never really got along and it drove me nuts.
counterclocked: (pic#13615424)

[personal profile] counterclocked 2020-04-30 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Well, uh - thanks for not lying.

[He frowns, though, curious.]

Maybe it isn't any of my business, but... Why?
disreguarded: [ᴋᴜʜᴋᴏᴏᴋ_] (31)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-04-30 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ thanks for not lying he says like she hasn't been lying about the basic function of the mansion the whole time ]

I don't know. She wigged me out with how cheerful and fucking mysterious and shit she was all the time, but you liked her, so I behaved myself. [ defensive!!! ]
counterclocked: (pic#13615418)

[personal profile] counterclocked 2020-04-30 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
...You know you don't have to be friends with my friends, right?
disreguarded: (34)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-04-30 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ grumble. ]

Yes. It just - made it easier. We were all supposed to be on the same team.
counterclocked: (pic#13615418)

[personal profile] counterclocked 2020-04-30 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Right.

[That makes him think of something, though, and:]

Sorry, I know you mentioned you knew about where I went to school, but...

[There's an unspoken "how much about it" in his curious expression.]
disreguarded: (34)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-04-30 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ thank god she doesn't have to doxx 45 ]

Gods, your stupid fucking murder school. [ she says, grouchily. ] You wouldn't let me go back with you to dismantle it.
counterclocked: (pic#13615418)

[personal profile] counterclocked 2020-04-30 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[This time, there's no hiding the shock on his face.]

...You really would have done that for me?
disreguarded: (34)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-04-30 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
C'mon, yeah. Of course. It was basically my job in Exandria, and I - you know, I fucking care about you a lot. Or whatever.
counterclocked: (pic#13615425)

[personal profile] counterclocked 2020-04-30 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
No, I - I mean, I don't think you're lying or anything, I just...

[...]

It's nice, that's all. I've never really... I don't know. You said - I had other friends there, too?
disreguarded: (26)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-04-30 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ weh, hunter. ]

Yeah. You definitely did. A lot of people liked you, and wanted you to be safe. I can list them off by name if you don't believe me.
counterclocked: (pic#13615424)

[personal profile] counterclocked 2020-04-30 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
Oh - no, you don't have to do that.

[It's clear that he's a little bit curious, but he feels weird asking.]
disreguarded: [ᴇᴇɴᴏᴄs] (04)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-04-30 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ huff. ]

Akira, 45, Anya, Agni, Brilith -- [ she'll just list off the whole mansion honestly but ]
counterclocked: (pic#13619910)

[personal profile] counterclocked 2020-04-30 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
I - wait, but I said—?
disreguarded: [ᴇᴇɴᴏᴄs] (04)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-04-30 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and I know what your face looks like when you don't believe me.
counterclocked: (pic#13615418)

[personal profile] counterclocked 2020-04-30 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry. It's just...

[Hm.]

I know this is weird for you and everything, but... I mean, you said you know a lot about me, right? So you know I've never really - had many friends. So just suddenly hearing about a different version of me who had a lot of people who cared about him...

[He shrugs.]

I'm probably making something out of nothing. It's fine.

[ a pause of her own, and then: ]

Your original world sucks, man, the people there didn't appreciate you the way that they should've. But you have people who care about you here, too. I know it, because I know the kind of person you are.
