I've heard something about people showing up on the Thor more than once. Has it happened to anyone else? If you've witnessed it, that works just as well.

I'm fine. Has something happened?

[filtered]

[claim_my_place]

No, unless you count people turning into animals out of the blue.

Among other things.

[filtered]

[aerial_laser]

I meant - never mind.

Are you all right?

[filtered]

[claim_my_place]

[Fighting the usual impulse to snap.]
[Vague Asch is vague.]

...

A lot better than I was.

[VOICE] OF COURSE THE FIRST TO REPLY TO THE GENERAL COMMENTS IS--

[areyouhungry]

...It's happened to Anise, Peony, Flynn, and... you.

What do you want to know, Asch?

/UGH GET OUT LUKE I DIDN'T ASK YOU.

[claim_my_place]

[Although, on the other hand, this is kind of... convenient.]

[You can hear him drawing in a breath and trying to bite his tongue before he starts shouting at you over the Guide. He really wants to, you know. B|]

[Yeah, he's slipping.]

You...!

/STAYS IN FOREVER [VOICE]

[areyouhungry]

[heeeee hears it 8|]

Yeah, me.

...Come on, Asch. I live here, too- and I've been here for more than 6 of the Thor's months.

Can't you trust me?

[Voice; Filter]

[claim_my_place]

[Screw it, venting.]

This has nothing to do with trust!

And I don't care how long you've lived on the Thor! It's bad enough I have to deal with Four-Eyes and his twisted sense of humor, but no, I've got this idiot following me around like an extra shadow! What the hell's wrong with you?! You won. You have nothing left to prove. So just stay away from me!!

[honorifics]

I have been told I have been here before, though I cannot recall it.

[claim_my_place]

And others recognized you and told you about it, right?

[honorifics]

Yes, they did. One even offered a job, I believe.

[claim_my_place]

[Muttered.] Nice of them.

Did you notice anything else weird about it, besides not remembering this place or the people you talked to?

voice;

[nosamurai]

From what I understand, I've also been here before. I don't remember this, but there's recorded evidence along with the words of everyone who I've met and been recognized by despite having no memory of who they are.

voice;

[claim_my_place]

Did any of this evidence or any of the things people told you seem inconsistent with what you know now?

voice;

[nosamurai]

Some of the questions seemed odd, and the record not exactly consistent with what I do know, yes. Has that been the case for you?

voice;

[claim_my_place]

I haven't investigated it closely yet. I just know that several strangers recognized me, and a number of people said something along the lines of "oh, you're back".

[voice]

[youidiots]

Luke's already told you, but Anise, Emperor Peony, and yourself from our world... there have been a few others, judging by reactions from people on the Guide.

[voice]

[claim_my_place]

[Is she serious?]

I'd gathered that much. Believe it or not, there's nothing wrong with my hearing.

Re: [voice]

[youidiots]

Perhaps I thought you would rather speak with anyone else but Luke. Was I wrong?

[voice]

[claim_my_place]

If I had the option, I'd rather not speak with any of you people. It always leads to something bad.
