[ Kid hasn't really minded the eclipse insofar as he can still see perfectly fine, but he can definitely sense that it's wearing on other people -- especially those who are new, and there seem to be many of them this time. He's already done one general introduction post a few months ago, and since it seemed to help new people then... ]Anyone who

And there are even more of us then there were last time. [she shakes her head]

Oh, I was meaning to ask you. I met this girl named Liz, she's your friend isn't she? She was looking for you, did you find her?

[grimreaping]

Yes, I noticed that as well. Lelouch was right in observing that people go home in correspondence with new ones arriving.

Yes, that's Liz. She's staying in the room across from mine at Rotterdam.

[mykimlasca]

At this rate all of Auldrant will be housed in Splendor. [she laughs slightly]

I'm so glad for you, Kid. You deserve to have those precious to you here.

[grimreaping]

Did so many really arrive?

Thank you Natalia, but this... this is not the Liz I know. It is Liz, but...

[ how to explain alternate timelines... ]

private;

[mykimlasca]

Guy, the Colonel, Mieu, Tear, even His Majesty arrived. ..To be honest, I hope it ends there. There is one person here I would never wish to arrive.

[blink]
I'm not quite following..

[grimreaping]

It must be nice to be reunited with them.

When Maka and Soul were here, they remember things that I did not. Things that could not have happened. Two sets of events.

private;

[mykimlasca]

Yes and--it's put some things to rest.

..So she's from--an alternate reality of sorts, is what you're saying.

Re: private;

[grimreaping]

Good or bad things?

Yes, precisely.

[ glad the concept is not completely foreign to her ]

And Liz mentioned the same events as Maka and Soul, ergo... she is not the Liz I am familiar with.

[ guiltily: ] Though I told her that she was -- or rather, that I was.

[mykimlasca]

..Necessary things. [ quietly said ] I just needed to hear them spoken, that's all.

[she smiles encouragingly]
Regardless, she showed the same amount of concern for you that I imagine she would in your original world. But I can understand how you feel. That must be confusing to work around.

Focus on having fun with her instead! She's still your friend, isn't she? Hm, what sort of things does she like to do..?

Re: private;

[grimreaping]

I see. [ he doesn't really ]

Yes, she was quite relieved to discover I was not still being held captive. Thankfully I learned enough from Maka to maintain the deception.

[ that kind of hurts to say, but what other choice does he have? it's Liz, he has to do everything for her ]

Liz is... very womanly.

[ how else does one say that. ]

[mykimlasca]

..It's alright, let's just say I needed it to--to move on.
[she lowers her eyes, still smiling. at his words, she frowns some]

Yes, she acted like you were in trouble..it's for the best, I'd imagine. I haven't been so good in that department.

[that catches her off guard!]

[Kid she adores you, but that was hilarious. So she's going to quietly start giggling. That description isn't unlike him, she hasn't forgotten what he said about her 'attractive soul' and it's just endearing to hear him describe his friend that way. ]

I..I see.

private;

[grimreaping]

Don't put yourself down, Natalia.

[ slightly flustered ]

That is, she likes things that-- it's not appropriate to call it "girly" I've been informed, so--

private;

[mykimlasca]

I know..I'll try.

[her giggling continues, until it dies down, her hands fondly beneath her chin clasped]

Of course you would. You're always considerate of others, why wouldn't you? Liz is a very lucky girl. [..wait that sounds kind of. oh flush!!]

Not that I was implying that you..thought of her in that manner, simply that--you both are so close, and all.

Re: private;

[grimreaping]

It's all right, I understand. She and Patty are, in a way, like family to me.

private;

[mykimlasca]

I'm happy for you. You deserve that. [her eyes crinkle. if she could help kid have all the happiness in the world, she'd do it. he's become such a big part of her life here. just a little bit is okay for now.]
