☆001 - Getting a foot in the door.

[The writing appearing in the journal is a loose, scrawling amalgamation of print and cursive.]It's never dull around here, is it? Popping out as a naked pod-person with no memories, journals turning into grotesque little creatures... and while I appreciate the sudden and unexpected upgrade in the style of my clothing this morning, I do wish the

What business do you have with Range?

-Aurora

[live_ringer]

You could call it a venture of self discovery. I'm guessing you were familiar with him?

-Gene

[earth_uninstall]

"Self discovery?" You will need to be more specific than that before I even think about sharing information with you.

-Aurora

[live_ringer]

I was greeted with a, "Range? The fuck did you do to yourself?" It seemed like something to look into.

[earth_uninstall]

You aren't him; your handwriting and mannerisms are far too different.

Fill in this form to the best of your abilities:

Gender:
Age:
Ethnicity:
Height:
Weight:
Hair color:
Eye color:
Noticeable birthmarks or medical conditions:

...I'm not sure whether to be relieved or more confused. On the one hand I wouldn't have multiple sets of memories to recover if you're right. On the other, it leaves me wondering why that one guy seemed so sure of things.

[The writing is shaking a little, since the stiff formality strikes him as funny.] A form, really? ...Guess it's one way to get things done.

Gender: Male
Age: Mid-to-late 20's? I'm not sure
Ethnicity: Caucasian, the accent was different from the other guys I was talking to but the exact location name escapes me/
Height: Somewhere over 1.8 meters.
Weight: About... 12 stone, I guess?
Hair color: Brown
Eye color: Blue
Noticeable birthmarks or medical conditions: Asking for my birthmarks is a little personal~, don't you think? Just how well did you know this Range guy, Aurora?

Don't get cheeky with me young man I will tan your hide :|

[earth_uninstall]

What are you implying? Birthmarks are unique to each person and are invaluable for identifying people.

What little description you were able to give implies the two of you are, at the least, similar in appearance. And you mentioned that you smoke? Do you have any vision impairment in your right eye?

-Aurora

Whatevah~ I do what I want!

[live_ringer]

And often found in some very interesting places.

I'm smoking right now, as a matter of fact. And as far as I can tell, my vision's perfect.

Looks like we may just have a case of mistaken identity.

ISOLATION ROOM. NAO.

[earth_uninstall]

All parts of the human body are equally interesting.

It seems most likely that you are the variant of Range that Gundam turned into once.

-Aurora

Aren't I a little old for time outs?

[live_ringer]

If you say so, though I'm not entirely inclined to agree.

A variant? How the hell does that work? And... that word you just said, Gundam, that's a person? Somehow, that doesn't seem quite right...

((ooc:Strikes are loosely marked through, probably still readable.))

You should;ve thought of that before you sassed me

[earth_uninstall]

Well, what parts would you find least interesting? All assets of the human body are needed in order for it to function and be recognizable.

I am not sure, but it has happened before. First, our variants appeared as separate beings, and later were involved in an event where a select few, such as the example I mentioned, turned into a variant, though not their own.

Gundam is the name of one of my comrades from my world. Why, is it familiar to you?

-Aurora

*sass sass sass*

[live_ringer]

Oh, I don't know, back of the elbow, maybe? It's functional, sure, but it doesn't really capture the attention as much as other parts.

Huh. That's... weird. I can't imagine turning into someone. And in that same vein, I don't think I particularly care to think of myself as a 'variant'.

Yeah. It definitely sounds like something I've heard of before but there aren't really any specifics to go along with that. It's kind of... fuzzy.

*bitchslaps you like you're Saji* 8|

[earth_uninstall]

The elbow doesn't have a "back." Are you referring to the ulna's protrusion or the medial side?

It is rather disturbing. Knowing this place, you will probably experience it first hand at some point, so prepare yourself for it. If you can prove you are not a variant, then I will stop referring to you as such.

I expected that you would be familiar with elements of our world, regardless of who or what you are.

-Aurora

*if you slap me like I'm Saji I'll punch you like you're Setsuna* >O

[live_ringer]

Getting awfully technical, aren't we? Fine, the protrusion.

"Expect the unexpected." I keep hearing that a lot. And what exactly qualifies someone as a variant, anyhow?

I guess signs are pointing that way, huh? Anything else I should know about "where I came from"?

*I'll deck you in the throat like you're Nena*

[earth_uninstall]

I am only using the proper terms. And without the build of the ulna your arm couldn't function the way it does.

A variant - A copy of a person currently in Edensphere that is not native to their world but a product of this one. They meet most, if not all, of the following criteria:
1) The original's memories, either partial or full
2) Similar personalities with obvious distortion
3) Identical appearance
4) Preceded by other variants
5) Existence lasts no longer than a month

I do not think they are hatched, but I have no concrete evidence favoring either theory. That there are no other variants and that your handwriting differs from Range's are factors to be considered.

Any other information will have to be withheld at the moment until your existence can be defined more concretely.

-Aurora

*I'll sock you twice like Patrick*

[live_ringer]

I already said it was functional. Just... nevermind.

All things told, I don't feel like I'm from here. It's all too odd.

1) I haven't a damned clue what he would remember. All I have is my dream.
2) Again, I wouldn't know.
3) There's definitely a resemblance, but I'll see for myself if we're identical when we meet.
4) You covered this one.
5) Ha, guess the test of time should tell one way or another.

Until my existence can be...?

Look, whatever's going on here, I refuse to believe I'm a carbon copy of someone. I'm just me, look-a-like or no.
