He could feel the presence of these brain waves, Aurora's to be exact. He excused himself from his duties, claiming that he needed to carry out some business somewhere else. He usually was strict about his jobs and duties, but Aurora's presence was important enough. He brought along his own Haro who was walking beside him.

"Record this data, Haro." He said to the robot before the elevator doors opened.

"Will do, Innovator! Will do, Innovator!" Haro replied, ears flapping as the doors opened.

It only took a few seconds for Innovator to spot Aurora, and a smile crept onto his lips. "We are in the presence of each other once again." He stepped closer to the other, but kept some distance. Who knew what this version of Aurora knew.

OMG... it's THAT Haro. XD

[vedaandme]

For a moment, Tieria wasn't sure. He had come out of the elevator... but was he one of the newcomers from the event? He frowned a little. It was a rather ambiguous greeting.

"We are," he said simply. Tieria's darker side was tempted to push just a little... No love lost if Ribbons got sick...

Indeed! He has a few others, but they're being repaired.

[therealplan]

"Is Setsuna F. Seiei here?" Last time he went to one of those other 'worlds' he had met Setsuna, but he didn't reveal too much about his past. "If not, your presence will do." He had a friendly relationship with Aurora, that was until he came back as Lithium and started getting upset over the name he had picked himself.

"I suppose you are the person I am looking for, but your name is different." He was polite at all times, keeping his demeanor and voice all but formal. "What should I address you as?"

Nice.

[vedaandme]

Different name? That intrigued Tieria. He knew about Setsuna, but he assumed Tieria was using a different name. Perhaps Ribbons was one of these new event arrivals Kakashi had mentioned after all.

"I am-"

"Tieria! Tieria!" Haro had the most inconvenient timing sometimes. "Big brother! Big brother!" The orange ball bounced and flapped, approaching the purple one. Tieria honestly wasn't surprised Ribbons that that particular Haro... not after what he'd learned from Veda once he had regained access.

/a wild meister appears?

It was probably a terrible idea-- No, he was certain it was a terrible idea. There had already been a death reported due to the gain of information, and Miss Bastet had warned him that people form his home were... particularly known for losing their lives to these such things. It was something he had seen himself- Lithium and Miss Cheers's disappearances, Aim vanishing once more, reports of himself having been there once already (And now the appearance of someone he could have sworn was nothing but a hallucination

Poor confused Meisters!

[vedaandme]

He knew the voice, but... who was he calling to? Tieria turned. Allelujah had disappeared from here as well, so shortly after they had been reunited. It had almost crushed Neil... and it wasn't long after that when Neil disappeared as well, leaving Tieria and Haro alone.

"Allelujah! Allelujah!" Tieria grabbed Haro.

"No!" he said quickly. "Be quiet, Haro!" If it was true, if these people really got sick and died from regaining their memories, Tieria couldn't let that happen. He couldn't do that to a comrade... to a friend.

Baww. Meisters always so fail.

[monoideist]

He paused as the orange robot spoke, though rather than recognizable word,s he heard it as simply tinny tones in an unrecognizable pattern. Still, he recognized the robot-- a Haro, identical to the orange one hibernating in his home. He slowed his stride as the man hushed the robot, his brows raising.

...No, of course this wasn't Lithium. He had been told there were duplicates that still had their memories here. He paused, lingering for a moment as though deciding whether to advance or not. They had warned that the signs were ill feelings, flickering sense... and he was right by the elevator.

"...I'm sorry," He spoke carefully, glancing back up to Tieria. "I mistook you for someone. I do believe you're... similar, though." Related? The same person? Not even the same person in the way it seemed that he and Alive were.. perhaps he was thinking about it too much. This was the same man as Lithium, but in another situation and with his memories. That was the easiest way to consider it.

"You're from here, correct?"

Makes me want to cuddle them.

[vedaandme]

"Similar..." Tieria hesitated and then nodded. He supposed he was. If Kakashi's warning was correct, then, yes. There was a chance he would be the same as someone else up that elevator. Allelujah's next question, however... He shook his head.

"Many of us here are not originally from here. This is a compression. We were pulled from our own worlds into this one." He frowned a little. "Much like you were, I suppose." He looked back at the elevator for a moment. "It's interesting how this has happened. I don't really understand it." He looked at Allelujah again, trying to discern any sort of familiarity. He was a little disheartened, however, when he reminded himself that any recognition the other might display would be for someone who was, but wasn't him.

"Is there... this 'Lithium'... is he up there now?"

*sob* so late

[live_ringer]

It had taken Gene-1 longer than it usually might to get down to this particular Wilderness, between checking in to see how Bell was dealing with Youth's death and weighing the various warnings. It wouldn't be any walk in the park, but from the reports, it wasn't an insurmountable. There were signs of illness to warn you when you were going too far. If he was careful, if he stayed aware and planned... he should be able to deal with it, even if it was still a stupid, risky idea.

That's what he had thought, at least. Gene had even gone as far as teaming up with someone he knew wasn't from his home so that one could drag the other home if things went south: a maintenance worker who went by the name of Robin. He seemed like a decent enough guy, the type who would be good in a fight... but it turned out he had one weakness. One ridiculous weakness. The man was deathly afraid of rabbits, of all things. Once they had come across one of the ones with shark-like teeth, it was all over. Robin was off like a man possessed, leaving Gene alone

'sokay XD

[OOC: Love the Monty Python reference!]

Haro flapped slowly, holding his ear flaps up for a moment. Tieria had told the robot to keep quiet when he recognized someone so not to risk potentially hurting them. Tieria heard the voice... he knew it well. Looking back over his shoulder, he recognized the names Lyle used. Ribbons had called him by one... Allelujah by the other. He turned to face him.

Having seen Neil only months ago, it was hard not to make the association, but Tieria had always been able to tell the difference between them. There was a small burr in Lyle's voice from the smoking that Neil didn't have... slight differences in their appearance, like how Lyle's hair was a bit smoother and shorter... things that probably only Tieria would notice because of what he was.

"I don't go by those names here," he said. He debated if he should tell Lyle his name. It hadn't hurt Ribbons. Would it hurt Lyle?

Re: 'sokay XD

[live_ringer]

((ooc: Hee! Once I heard about the rabbits, I couldn't resist.))

He cocked his head as the little robot stirred, the barest hint of a smile tugging at the edge of his mouth. He had heard a bit about the one or two Haros that were in the Sphere, but had only had contact with one in his two memories. Judging by the colour... this could be that Haro. He felt a sense of familiarity towards the little bot, regardless.

He took a moment to gauge Tieria's reaction. No overt hostility, which was nice, and no outbursts of surprise recognition, which was safe. He seemed to be sizing him up.

"I had a feeling you wouldn't." His demeanor was wary and guarded, but a touch of wry humour bled into his voice at the next question. "Got something I can call you, then? Preferably something that won't do me in, since information from home seems to be a bit of a dangerous commodity here."

[vedaandme]

Tieria started to say his real name, but paused. Again, the name hadn't hurt anyone so far, but he wasn't sure just how much of an association Lyle would make with it.

"My name hasn't hurt others I've recognized," he offered. "If you're willing to hear it..." He'd leave the decision to him.

have a not!mecha pilot! also so tl;dr sorry, only the last sentence is relevent to him lol

[ghost_of_00]

This was not the Access Point. 00 stared at the elevator button. She had pressed the correct one; she had a shift at Housekeeping to begin. With the dangrs of the new Wilderness, there had been more bloodstains to attend to. Her duties did not lie in exploring for herself.

Does it matter if I'm late? People would survive if it took a little longer for their clothes to be cleaned. They wouldn't suffer. The weather had become quite warm and humid as well--which was familiar, but made the laundry room less comfortable. And... did she want to explore this place? The thought of meeting another her was--strange. Not wholly unfamiliar. Did that mean she had encountered that kind of situation in her previous life? Or perhaps she would see one of the individuals that had been in her dream. The boy who had told her not to say goodbye, the angry girl whose body she had shared. The black-haired woman and the blonde woman with resentment in her eyes. If they were here, did she... want to meet them? Did the risk to herself matter? The bonds had

^_^ haha... ironically, similar version of Tieria I play elsewhere is friends with Rei, too

[vedaandme]

That prickly feeling one gets when being watched nagged slightly at Tieria as he looked at the water. He'd been trying to keep Haro out of it, as he really didn't want to have to rescue the mechanical basketball from a giant squid. That was not his idea of a good day. Either way, Haro turned to the new arrival. There was no flap of recognition, no calling of a name, so Tieria looked, but he didn't rise.

The girl looked odd... her pale blue hair, fair skin, and reddish eyes giving her the appearance of one of his own kind. For a moment, he did stare. In fact, she sort of resembled someone he had seen records on inside Veda just after... only, this girl was older physically. She wasn't quite as old as he was in appearance, but perhaps between them. His curiosity was now piqued.

Perhaps there was still another section of Veda he had not seen? He wasn't sure. It wouldn't be the first time he didn't have access to everything.

pffft really? That's awesome X3

[ghost_of_00]

He had a Haro with him. 00 watched it for a moment, wondering if it would speak up when it turned, apparently aware of her presence. Its movement seemed to alert Aurora-Lithium as well. He didn't say anything, however, only looking at her.

Should she say something? If he had recognized her, he probably would have said something. Or perhaps he wouldn't. She didn't known his personality well enough to predict how he would respond in this situation. 00 took a hesitant step forward.

Then she looked down at the Haro. She had been speaking to her own Haro, even though it was not fully repaired yet, and she often spoke to Innovator's purple Haro as well. "Are you Haro?" she asked, her voice only just loud enough to be heard.

Totally... they sort of stalk each other because of their appearances

[vedaandme]

Haro flapped again.

"Haro! Haro!" the robot responded. Tieria blinked, a little confused.

"You know of Haros?" he asked.
