[If anyone is near the public kitchen right now, they might notice that someone's been rather active in there. There are various kinds of food sitting on one of the tables - vichysoisse, curry, sashimi, salisbury steak, even some simple sandwiches. Desserts such as fruit parfaits, sorbets, pudding, crepes and even a cake can be seen on another

[you know that does look good, but...it's Flynn. He probably wouldn't share it with him] Planning a party with all this food? [asking at the doorway of the kitchen]

1/3; way to break his brain shortly after showing up here :|

[luminantscythe]

Huh? No, I'm only practicing some re...

2/3

[luminantscythe]

...cipes... [Wait... that voice...]

3/3

[luminantscythe]

[...and then realization hits.]

...Commandant Alexei?! But... you're supposed to be dead...! [Yep, he's definitely not aware of how Zelore works yet. :| ]

Oh, but it's fun breaking people

[illfatedsoul]

...[new hobby acquired.] Oh is that so? Perhaps I'm just a phantom then.

But... but he just arrived! D:

[luminantscythe]

[Man, don't say that to someone who went through that messed up labyrinth. That actually makes sense to him, you know. Although the versions of people present there hardly spoke...]

...It wouldn't be the first time I've met a phantom version of you, at least. [Never gets any less unnerving, either. Seeing someone who's supposed to be dead does that. Although it's arguably better than having a version of himself try to kill him again...]

...do you honestly think Alexei cares?

[illfatedsoul]

[...ok that seeing phantoms of himself comment honestly bothers him. Now he thinks Flynn's head a little wonky] Starting to see things now, Flynn? Not a good sign coming from the new Commandant. I doubt telling you, that I'm very much alive will make you feel any better.

...no. Not really. Dammit, Alexei, why are you such a troll?

[luminantscythe]

I am not seeing things! We fought a phantom version of you not too long ago, at that labyri-- [Waitwaitwait nevermind that, there are more important things to talk about!]

...Nevermind that, it's just not possible that you're alive. We saw you die at Zaude. [Well, uh... he didn't. But Sodia told him what happened, and why would she lie about something like that?]

Aww, you know you like it >D

[illfatedsoul]

That's what I'm constantly being told, but as you can see, I survived the incident that happen at Zaude. [he doesn't recall Flynn seeing him either, but he could assume someone told the knight.]

Well, trolls are fun. ...Although I don't think Flynn thinks so.

[luminantscythe]

[This has to be a dream. It just has to be. There's no way he could have survived being crushed by that blastia. ...Then again, nobody ever actually found his corpse, so... huh. This is... mildly worrisome.]

But if you survived, then how come nobody saw you since then? [None of the knights reported meeting the former Commandant, and they didn't run into him during their travels, either... hm.]

Well so sorry, Alexei doesn't care what he thinks. haha

[illfatedsoul]

...I've been in Aspio. The Scholars there are quite an interesting bunch, minding their own business as long as there's no one causing trouble. Ah, but the stay was a short one and I ended up having a run-in with your "pals".

...Alexei, you're a jerk. :|

[luminantscythe]

Aspio... [It just had to be the one city that was recently destroyed. Couldn't it have been Halure? Or Mantaic? At least he could still investigate these towns nowadays to see if Alexei's telling the truth.]

Yuri and the others? When did you meet them? They didn't mention you when I met them while I was in Hypionia not too long ago... [Nor did they bring up the fact that he was alive at any point after that. So either he's lying, or something's just not right here...]

>]

[illfatedsoul]

Oh sometime when the adephagos attacked Nordopolica. If it does not match to what you think then I'm probably not the Alexei you know nor are you the same Flynn. You are probably from a different Terca Lumireis.

...I'm seriously not surprised that so many people hate him.

[luminantscythe]

[Nope, the stories don't match. The attack on Nordopolica was prior to him meeting Yuri and his friends again, so they would have mentioned Alexei if they had run into him... but that doesn't make things any less confusing.]

A different Terca Lumireis? [...You lost him. That... kind of doesn't make any sense to him at all.]

Neither is he surprise, but they're all nothing but worms to him

[illfatedsoul]

...Welcome to Zelore. A world that gathers people from other worlds, universes, and time.

And with that attitude, their opinion of him definitely won't change. :|

[luminantscythe]

Gathers people from other worlds? But... how is that even possible? [Congratulations, Alexei, I think you just broke his brain. Again. Poor Flynn.]
