( 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?

The place you've found yourself in is strange, certainly. It's probably worth exploring a bit. 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.

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.

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. 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.

[ STOP WAVING IT'S CREEPY but somehow weirdly cute and he hates it so much ]

...It's weird.

[ thank goodness they'll stop because if they didn't he would cut them apart ]

[After a few moments of taking in his appearance:]

...Before we start this, can I ask what's going on with you? Like, just in general.

Whisked away by a— why are you so casual about that?!
unfriendliest: (not in the mood)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-01-17 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
It's better than going in circles.

[ also



he's taller and can actually see the shelves, probably ]

...A store in a void.

[She looks at him for another moment, before she says, in a very gentle voice:]

Okay. That's nice. I'm gonna go, though, so catch you later?

[ Royce looks like he hates that idea. ]

Any solid ideas on what, or are we just going with "something powerful and vague"?
dianxias: (7.)

xie lian voice ) you kids and your me-mes

[personal profile] dianxias 2020-01-17 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ !!!! xie lian leans in waaaay too close to the camera immediately, his eyes big and round like he's trying to see how this camera thing works. it's like a mirror... ] Oh! That's me!!

[ he's acting like a fascinated little kid, actually, quite delighted with this technology thing. how wonderful! since itaru asks him to say something, he does!!! ] Hello, camera!
dianxias: (43)

[personal profile] dianxias 2020-01-17 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ he'd be able to handle it. xie lian is freakishly strong which is what happens when dana doesn't make me nerf his strength too much.

xie lian follows quite dutifully, trying to get a better look at his packages. he's feeling pleased: he helped with a job, and this was a perfect reward. with a job well done, xie lian follows with a spring in his step, and then sets down his giant load of snacks and drinks, carefully setting them down on the ground. as he settles, spreading out his robes, xie lian glances at the can. that's the energy drink, right...? he examines it briefly in his hand; it's a bit cold, and it has a little tab at the top. ]


Let's see... [ he turns it to the side... ] How do you...? [ fiddle, fiddle. what's this? he gets his nail underneath the tab, opens it, and --

PSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH it immediately explodes in his face. ]

[the pride involved in this... but baren will go ahead and just help himself to a seat at the bar, clicking his tongue to encourage marshmallow closer to his side, reaching down to give him some more pets]

Surprise me.

[easily

but also - ]


And if it's not up to standard, you pay a penalty.

[hm]
crudest: (♚ i'm just fckin tired)

[personal profile] crudest 2020-01-17 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
You can guess and I'll tell you if you're right?

[baren is allergic to straightforward answers apparently]
messianic: (I look but recognize no more)

[personal profile] messianic 2020-01-17 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
It's... it's fine...

[He's clutching his head, wincing, but it's fine.

Totally fine.]


Are... are you okay? Do you need help getting down?
messianic: (Farewell farewell my pleasures past!)

[personal profile] messianic 2020-01-17 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... sorry.

[Minato sucks at this--in large part because he's not too concerned about what he himself has lost. But that aside...]

It'll take some time to figure out, I think--but at the very least, we're all in this boat together, I think.

We have some time to figure it out, and then... once we know, we can start putting ourselves back together again. So... even though I know it's worrisome, try not to panic, okay?
messianic: (schedules of sentiment)

[personal profile] messianic 2020-01-17 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[.... WELL THEN.]

I mean... close. I'm from 2010, but at least that's only a few years... ish?

["There's absolutely no way I wouldn't believe you," she says.

Ah, he almost wants to cry. He doesn't, of course. Tears don't even get close to his eyes, but there is the feeling of warmth ripping into his chest, finally burrowing into his heart and making a home there where it was once an empty space. Because there were so many times that Okuni didn't believe him - and it was never her fault, but just the way the world and the app worked. There was always a divide that always left him wanting.

How long have I been waiting to hear those words?

And yet - all he can do is sigh at that, holding onto his sister's hand and almost sheepishly running a hand through his hair, eliciting the soft jingle of bells. He thinks that some things will never change, and how much he needs Okuni is going to be one of those things.

But now he finally has her.

Now, he's certain he's unstoppable.]


... Mm-hmm.

I'm Baren, and you're Okuni. We're two, but we're one.

[And finally, it pulls a sincere smile out of him.]

Okay - but I've got a lot of ground to cover, so let's get some snacks first?

[Hopefully that'll give him a little bit more time to put himself back together - but he does have quite the year to catch her up on.]
crudest: (♚ whisper whisper)

[personal profile] crudest 2020-01-17 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Are you used to people appearing and disappearing?

[a beat]

And not just in an 'abandonment issues hiding behind a corner' way.

[that was going to be in brackets initially but then i realized baren would say it out loud so]
ittoryu: (g - hip.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-17 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Follow me.

[and he'll start leading the way!]
ittoryu: (sprite - cats.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-17 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Let's see... Oh, these seem like sweets?

[they've reached candy!]

Though some of these are quite unfamiliar to me.
crudest: (♚ okuni is so much prettier)

[personal profile] crudest 2020-01-17 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
What makes for a strong zombie? Strength of will? How many brains they've eaten that day?

[he's like

taking mental notes? in case he ever needs to fight a zombie? you never know




he's also doing his best to distract lwj from following the gunshot sound so]
ittoryu: (sprite - laugh2.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-17 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
They definitely sound like a remarkable sight! I can't wait to see.
ittoryu: (f - casual.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-17 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
Let's see... timequakes, failing those you love, getting rejected...
crudest: (♚ i'm just fckin tired)

[personal profile] crudest 2020-01-17 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
[why not]

I guess, but it'll be more fun later than not having a pillow fortress.
crudest: (♚ whisper whisper)

[personal profile] crudest 2020-01-17 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
So you should fit right in!

Aren't you like...








I dunno, five?
descried: (deadpan - k1.)

[personal profile] descried 2020-01-17 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
That could also just describe loud people.
crudest: (♚ wat)

[personal profile] crudest 2020-01-17 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
If you want us to play with you, you should ask nicely first. And then we can reject you properly!

[he

absolutely knows without question who jc is referring to without name

anyway,]


Uh-huh. You're looking at him.

[no]
descried: (neutral - k2.)

[personal profile] descried 2020-01-17 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Um...

[how does he put this]

Solving a crime...?
