VOICE/TEXT 001! Wherein a bad little boy pretends to be good.

[birdthright]

[ The feed turns on, and there is a light shuffling of tiny feet. Inhuman feet. Four of them. It's a kitten! A rather noisy one, at that. Then, a child's voice. Polished down to the last syllable, but caring not to sound pretentious. Some of his words are deliberately stressed to factor in confusion. He's also getting good at hiding that cocky,

No recollection? It's been known to happen before.

[Franziska would certainly know all about that.]

voice;

[birdthright]

Others have told me that, but I've yet to meet any in this same situation.

voice;

[dancing_pierrot]

And just what are the particulars of this specific situation that you're alluding to?

voice;

[birdthright]

Being the second to a previous incarnation.

voice;

[dancing_pierrot]

Well, I can't say that I've personally experienced that, but it's certainly happened to people I've known from back home, before.

voice; Missed this. Sorry ):

[birdthright]

Did they all lose their memories as well?

voice; no worries! ♥

[dancing_pierrot]

To make an example of an acquaintance of mine who was once in this city, the first time he was here, he was seven years older than the second incarnation. The latter did not, at his time of arrival, have any knowledge of future events in his life, nor did he have any memories of ever being present in this city before.

Was that what you were asking?

voice;

[birdthright]

It was.

. . . Seven years? How is that possible? [ He actually knows he's come from a timeline before the one before him, but a regular child wouldn't have found that out by himself. ]

voice;

[dancing_pierrot]

Have you been informed as to the nature of time within this city?

voice;

[birdthright]

I have heard ... that there are inconsistencies in some cases. But it sounds more like something out of fiction.

voice;

[dancing_pierrot]

Well, it's not. This is your reality now, and you'll simply have to start getting used to it.

voice;

[birdthright]

I suppose I will. I've heard that people who are pulled here are given powers, as well. How true is this?

voice;

[dancing_pierrot]

True enough. While some people's powers are inconspicuous enough to go undetected even by the individual themselves, others are not, and can be more curse than blessing. Many keep their own powers from their homes, if they had them.

voice;

[birdthright]

I might have a power as well. How am I to find out what it is?

voice;

[dancing_pierrot]

If you did not have one back home, in some individuals it can take months to develop, if it develops at all.
