Week 26, Day 1 - [accidental video]

Jul 11, 2011 22:58

[ Allen sort of appears to have come out of nowhere, and materialized near a fountain. He looks around, confused. ]

This isn't where I meant to be! I meant to go back, not…where is this, anyway?

[ He looks around, and the golem following him sweeps down towards the recording device. The video shakes, and goes dark for a minute, as the golem picks ( Read more... )

Allen! ...you don't remember being here before?

[Matt never knew him all that well, but Allen was close to Elfangor, which is as much of a recommendation as Matt needs. Plus, Allen was very kind to him when Matt needed it, was there with him when almost anyone else's presence would've been unbearable.

...and Allen probably doesn't remember any of that.]

I'm Matt, hi. I already know you. But you don't know me.

[ Allen looks confused. Was he really here before? This guy - Matt - seems to think so. And Lenalee said he was "back," and people recognize him. This is just getting weirder. ]

No, I've never been here before, I'm sure.

It's one of the ways this place fucks with us. I've known two different versions of my best friend here.

But I only knew you a little before, so I'm not working off any preconceived notions.

[ Allen thinks about that for a moment. ]

I'm sorry, that must be hard to deal with, if these gods or whatever keep taking people's memories away.

It can make things, um. Awkward. If you have different memories from someone from home.

D'you have any questions or anything about this place?

Yeah, I feel like...I'm kind of inconveniencing everybody.

I think it's all been explained, but, um, I do have one. Where can I get something to eat around here, do you know?

[Ah, a question Matt feels qualified to answer.]

There's plenty of places to get noodles, and Misa has a bakery in Mizusato, if you'd rather have something sweet.

And hey, no one's gonna blame you. I'm sure this place pulls people from times calculated for maximum fucking with us.

Anything is good for me! How do you get to the bakery? I'm afraid I don't really know where I am or anything...

There's a map on the Hitomi. Mizusato's the island up north. One cool thing about this place is that it never takes longer than a half-hour to get anywhere.

...you've been warned about the not-so-cool stuff, right?

[Matt knows there are several people from Allen's world here, but he'd be remiss in his duties supplying the FAQ to newbies if he didn't ask.]

O-oh, really? A map?

[ He doesn't mention that even maps aren't super useful for someone with the uncanny ability to get lost. But maybe he can find it anyway! ]

"...not-cool stuff?" Uh, no, I haven't been warned about anything actually!

Oh.

[Oh, crap.]

Sometimes this place goes batshit, and. People die. We come back, but. I wouldn't recommend it, all the same.

People seriously die and come back? How is that possible? Do they come back the same?

[ Allen has a thing about people coming back as Akuma, so he's immediately on his guard about this. ]

...Usually. Sometimes, they don't remember being here before, like you.

[ He's quiet for a long time. Did he die, in this world? He's not sure how to ask that. ]

I don't think I like this.

Yeah, welcome to the club.

It's still better than nothing. I mean, I don't know about you, but I've got nothing to go home to.

[ He's quiet for a long time. Does he really have anything to go back to? The Noah family wants him back, probably. But he's not one of them. He doesn't want to be one of them. And his friends are here. The only thing missing is Cross. But if Cross wanted to be anywhere near him, he would be. Wouldn't he? Providing the old bastard was still alive, anyway.

People hate him at home. People suspect him of being something worse than what he is. So is this place such a terrible idea? ]

I can't say I have nothing to go back to. But I have a lot here that matters, even though I didn't realize it when I first arrived.

So, I guess, it could be a lot worse.
