[Having set the members of the Casa up in Dissimulo near Valley Road on the edge of town, Meryl awakens to find the communicators and streets once again abuzz with life. He'll be standing out here looking grumpy if anyone is interested in coming over.So this happens outside of the city as well. Is this a feature of the planet itself? But what

[ 'sup, Meryl, have someone who.. is in Discedo and at the same time not. All those Anges running around sure is confusing, isn't it. Even though she has not really a clue what is going on, for some reason the guy seems pretty familiar. Even though he looks sort of weird. (Maybe exactly because he looks so weird.) ]

I've learned by now that some guiding forces just like being whimsical instead.

[ A slight frown as she observes him some more. ] This is probably a weird question.. but whatever, is your name maybe Meryl?

[medanmyboy]

[All the Anges......!!!!]

I think whimsy is highly overrated. [Of course, he wouldn't be saying that if his kids (or Gyatso) were doing something whimsical, but whatever, man. Let a zombie be. He turns towards her, curious as to how she knows him.]

It is. [pause.] My memory is poor; remind me of yours?

[endofdaydream]

[ She shakes her head a little. ]

It's not your memory, I don't think we've met before. I'm Ange, though, Ange Ushiromiya -- I've heard a lot about you.

[medanmyboy]

[He frowns a little, brows knitting together. This is fairly odd, but he is occasionally identified back on Azeroth. And he supposes he's around a lot in Discedo.]

A pleasure, Ange Ushiromiya. Where did you hear of me?

[endofdaydream]

I'm.. a friend of Med'an.

[ She doesn't say more, since she figures that much should be enough. And yes, she does consider them to be friends. ]

[medanmyboy]

[Did you know that old zombies can look cute? Well now you do. You just said the magic word, Ange.]

Med'an? He's well?

[Puppy....zombie...?]

[endofdaydream]

[ Cute.. old zombies... ]

Yeah, he's just fine. Very energetic too. [ ENERGETIC PUPPY.. ]

[medanmyboy]

[Maybe this is where Med'an learned it from? He laughs a little, looking happy and nostalgic and sad all at once. He hasn't seen his baby in years. And he's never been away from him for this long.]

He always was...even as a little thing...

[Sorry, he's getting off topic kinda.] Are you from Azeroth, then? What has he been doing in my absence?

[endofdaydream]

[ She's trying to imagine little!Med'an.. tiny puppy..?

There's a slight shake of her head. ]

I'm not from Azeroth. Med'an ended up with me and some other people in some.. well, inconvenient place, I guess, which pulls people in from other worlds. [ A pause. ] We're partners on the Watch.

[medanmyboy]

[Of course c: Tiny little skinny mongrel. The old mage's face creases in worry.]

Another place that pulls people from their worlds? Is this what everyone is doing these days? [DAMN KIDS AND THEIR FADS...welp. Not like he can do anything about it. Just to make sure, he asks again.]

But he's alright? ...and partners on the Watch?

[A little smile starts to peek back in.]

A guard organization?

[endofdaydream]

Yeah, just fine. Trust me on that one.

[ TRUST HER TO PULL PUPPY OUT OF TROUBLE.. ]

And.. sort of like that. We protect the village. I was assigned as his partner, and.. well, I guess we got to know each other that way.

[medanmyboy]

[He doesn't know Ange though maybe she gets into trouble too (SPOILERS SHE DOES)! But he'll take it for now. Actually, he looks amused.]

A protector of the village? Somehow I'm not surprised.

[He nods to her.]

Thank you for looking out for him, Ange Ushiromiya.

[And pause.]

He isn't...here, now, is he?

[endofdaydream]

[ NOT AS MUCH AS MED'AN.. and she usually doesn't seek it out actively.. usually.. ]

It's nothing. We're friends, after all. [ It feels sort of weird to speak of someone as a friend so openly, but.. well, she's pretty sure Med'an deserves that status by now. ]

And I haven't seen him here yet. Although I'm not even sure where 'here' is, either way.

[medanmyboy]

[Yeah she just gets breaded occasionally and doesn't come back for days...Meryl nods slowly. He's not certain whether to feel happy or sad about it. Well anyway.]

Ah, this place is called Dissimulo. I'm afraid it's not much, but we haven't been here for long.

[endofdaydream]

[ SHE COULDN'T HELP THAT ONE, OKAY!! ]

That's alright. ... I just wonder if I can still go back. I hope this isn't something permanent.

[medanmyboy]

[crying puppy uwooooo....;; ]

Based on past experience, it won't be. Every six months this seems to happen to us. In a few days everyone will be back where they're...supposed to be.
