( 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.

His name's Yato, don't be an asshole.

[The poor guy had enough people forgetting him, Chuuya's still defensive of his favorite god...]

What, did you hang out there...? I know you aren't a regular or I'd know you for sure.

I... Feel as if it would be wiser to dedicate my energy towards finding a way home.

[ But she sounds pretty hesitant because it's not like she knows how to even go about that. ]

[The bigger picture— is this man joking or just thick in the head...]

That’s a waste of effort in both scenarios. You want to haul pillows back? You’d have better luck with the carts instead of hoping someone is patient enough to help.
ittoryu: (g - hip.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-13 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps! I certainly don't feel like anything's wrong with me.
crudest: (♚ water those)

[personal profile] crudest 2020-01-13 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
[I was, aside for a year or two, so what does that—

There's definitely way too much information here, and Baren is trying to process it all - along with the fact that Chuuya's thoughts apparently were broadcasted to him earlier, and so there's a chance that his own are, and.]


Tch.

Did you really piss me off or something?! Is Retrospec fucking up again if it's making us forget entire people?!

[Because - that's probably it, isn't it? But why this guy? Who else is Baren forgetting?]
stressweets: . Always expect the best from your friends and never assume the worst. Rest assured that a good friend always has your best interests at heart. (063. party of one)

[ YOU YELLED AT CARD FOR THIS!! I WON'T FALL FOR IT and tsukasa is too polite, for now ]

I'm not sure I really believe all of that nonsense on that pillar anyway. I mean, I've heard - read? - weirder from— [ a beat, and, he clears his throat ] From. From elsewhere.

[ he's still on the fence about talking about the app to people he doesn't remember seeing on it but it's okay ]

But it sounds... even less plausible than those notices.
crudest: (♚ whisper whisper)

[personal profile] crudest 2020-01-13 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Shouldn't you always be expecting a surprise attack?

Or else it'll work!
lightmage: (pic#13673498)

[personal profile] lightmage 2020-01-13 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. That welcome message mentioned... [ Hrm. ] Goodies.

But I don't understand how I'm meant to go about doing whatever it is they want me to do.
unfriendliest: (not in the mood)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-01-13 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not broken.

[ he's a little defensive about this, maybe ]
crudest: (♚ i'm just fckin tired)

[personal profile] crudest 2020-01-13 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Moral do-gooder? Or just tired of sitting around?

[Baren will just take another sip of his sake, his feet swinging as he sits around on his stool.]
bakaomi: (are ever gonna scar me)

[personal profile] bakaomi 2020-01-13 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... hm

ah well. he just shrugs at that. ]


Right. Guess this isn't that common.
ittoryu: (sprite - surprised.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-13 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Good point! Perhaps we should hurry with that fort of yours, then...
ittoryu: (official - 4-stars.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-13 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
The only one who can decide that is yourself! So if you say you aren't, then you aren't.
givethemhell: (watson)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-13 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, I don't think it's a magic illusion! Though I wouldn't yet rule out some sort of higher-up interfering for this or that reason.

[He still? Doesn't know what the heck the pillar is or what's talking through it?? Headaches.]
twingenuity: (pic#13710354)

[personal profile] twingenuity 2020-01-13 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! But like, not in real life. It's just the class she chose when she started the game!
givethemhell: (finger mustache)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-13 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Hm, that's too bad.

[He doesn't even know what a backpack is, but that's fine, since he's cupping his hands together!!]

Should we just stand under the light, or do you think it needs to be chased down?
crudest: (♚ whisper whisper)

[personal profile] crudest 2020-01-13 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[His thoughts spill out without his permission -

On a train that goes in circles? By trying to communicate with our emoji-happy disembodied voice that leaves us on read? With a thoughtful hop into the void and then just falling forever until you hit the next pathway? There aren't even any extra exits in this store, or any maps, clocks, Or wi-fi to tell us where we are or what year it is.

But all he says is:]


Oh yeah? How?
givethemhell: (labor on that midnight wire)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-13 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
["I DON'T NEED PEACE" he says, and Wei Wuxian just sort of cants his head to the side curiously. Sounds fake bud.]

Hm, hm. What is it you'd like to try, then? I can lend a hand! Just sitting on the train won't help, unfortunately - we only have so many stops and "home" isn't one of them.
givethemhell: (who me?)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-13 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow this is exactly like Okuni THE SIMILARITY IS SO STRONG... He claps along in delight, as if he's listening to a great masterpiece being played and not a loud obnoxious vuvuzela buzz from hell.]

Quite the set of lungs you have! That's amazing! How long can you play a single note? I want to see!

[HE HAS TO SHOUT TO BE HEARD and yet he's still enjoying this, god.]
givethemhell: (my turn!)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-13 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Why's that? Are you always getting into trouble? Jumping off the sides of trains, things like that?

[He says with a grin LIKE HE ISN'T THE REASON SHIGURE JUMPED OFF THE SIDE OF A TRAIN... It's fine.

Also, that sounds AMAZING?? What the fuck.]


Oh! Those must have been enormous kites if they could support the weight of a person! I want to try something like that.
givethemhell: (potentially lovely)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-13 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Sometimes you're just a big ol' weirdo!! It happens. Can't wait for Wei Wuxian to introduce Xie Lian to light-up sneakers or heelies so he can start to join the club.]

Ling Wen? [Doesn't ring a bell, but the naming convention and name itself is familiar, at least. The fuck is a communication array though, wild. He cants his head to the side, watching Xie Lian with open curiosity as he swings his legs.] Mm, it doesn't seem possible to contact anyone outside of this place. Haven't had the time to try figuring out a way around it, either.

[BECAUSE OF COURSE he'd immediately want to tinker with Everything... He'd been focusing on trying to find a way back the first time around and then got shuffled off to Olympic bootcamp terrorist town though. Life is wild.

ANYWAY, with a friendly grin:]


Ask away, if you'd like! Can't guarantee I'll have many answers to give you, but I'll share whatever I know. No need for an exchange; it's best if we all help each other out, yes?
stressweets: It's not all about singing and presents. The singing and presents are all about celebrating the ponies in our lives. The ponies we should listen to more often: our friends. (039. a hearth's warming tail)

[personal profile] stressweets 2020-01-13 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry. [ a sorry of solidarity. ] At least there's never a dull day with people like that around. I always find myself having a lot of fun, too.
lightmage: (pic#13673446)

[personal profile] lightmage 2020-01-13 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hrm. She relaxes a little bit, but... ]

Like... A child's make-believe game? Just pretend?
crudest: (♚ okuni is so much prettier)

[personal profile] crudest 2020-01-13 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Ehhhh? You sound like a stickler.

[Baren will wave admonishingly in Sephiroth's direction.

Pillow in hand.]


What are your big ideas for the next however long we have nothing to do then, Mr. Stickler?

You know, the ones OP mentioned. The factions?
