[There is audio, simply because from what L has seen, he has engaged in the audio feature here before… and before that, as well. His voice is undisguised, his usual monotone, though there is a certain lilt to the edge of his words that may or may not denote slight curiosity.]

Hello, Anatole.

...I was here before, apparently, and I don't remember it either. So you're not the only one.

Voice;

[precedent_agent]

I see.

Were there any defining events that you would be comfortable sharing with me that may have led to you being brought back here? A tragedy, perhaps. Something that would have altered your state beyond reprieve, back in your home world.

[braided_icarus]

[A pause. Considering.]

The last I remember from home was....a fight. It's a long story, but, specifically, I last remember my brother, Alphonse, trying to reverse the transmutation of the soul binding I had done years ago.

[Transmutation. The term, itself, fails to set off any particular piquing of his curiosity. Though-]

I am afraid that I may be unfamiliar with what soul binding entails, exactly. Does it pertain to anything of relevance where shifting between realities is concerned?

[Which is another thing L was unfamiliar with, before waking up in this place.]

[everything_rots]

I thought it would be memorable.

[precedent_agent]

Are you referring to an incident between you and one of my former selves, or Anatole, in general?

[L has no patience for vagueness at this point.]

[everything_rots]

Ah.

It is direct, in any case.

[sorry, vagueness is hades's m.o. forever.]

I take it that you aren't going to answer the question, then.

[The whole "being here previously" thing was something he didn't like to think about, and he was able to put it out of his mind completely until now. Not that he didn't have a lot of things on his mind already.]

Someone said I was here before...But this place is completely new to me.

[Audio]

[precedent_agent]

And were there critical circumstances that led to your arrival?

[Pause.]

I apologize if I pose similar questions to different individuals. It is necessary in building a concrete information base.

[Audio]

[key_destination]

No, it's fine. [Not that he's going to give all the details anyways.]

Ummm, "critical circimstances"? I guess--...would it count if one of my friends was acting weird? Everything was pretty much normal except for that.

[Audio]

[precedent_agent]

Acting weird? Would you care to elaborate?
