... This isn't my house.  I don't even recognize this place.

What's going on here?  Lloyd?  Kratos?  Anna?  Any of you here?  Hello?

[OOC:  Why, oh why did we not yet have a Dirk?  Aside from the issue of finding icons, I mean.  Anyway, hey, it's Lloyd's adoptive dad!  He's a bit AU, 'cause Anna and Kratos made it to his place in time in his version

Dad! [have a tiny Lloyd going to cling D:]

[keeptothevows]

Ah, Lloyd! There you are, m'boy. [Big hug for his adoptive son, Dirk's used to Lloyd calling both him and Kratos "dad".]

So then, where are we?

[tiny_swordsman]

[good, you won't break the poor kid's mind just yet!]

Um, it's a big place with lots of copies of people! There's lots of me but none of you...

[keeptothevows]

Lots of you but none of me? Well that's no good, who's going to keep you out of trouble? [Big grin goes here.]

So, what about your mom and your other dad? Are they here too?

[tiny_swordsman]

[hugely confused face] ....What?

[keeptothevows]

You know, your mom and... Wait.

Lloyd, what are your parents' names? Not me, I mean the ones you were born to.

[tiny_swordsman]

...Um... Mom's name was Anna... but I don't know my dad's...

[keeptothevows]

Was... I see. Nevermind then, we must be from different worlds.

That's okay though. You're still my son. [Pats Lloyd's shoulder affectionately.]

[tiny_swordsman]

Different worlds?

[keeptothevows]

Yes... another Colette was talking to me earlier, told me there are lots of people from different worlds here. So not everything that happened in your world happened in mine, and the other way around.

It doesn't matter much though. You still live with me in both worlds, right?

[tiny_swordsman]

Yeah! I live with you. And you're teaching me to be a blacksmith...

[keeptothevows]

Then just about everything's the same. My you's a bit bigger than you are, but not all that much. Colette's training for the regeneration journey, and you two and Genis spend the rest of your time clowning around.

[tiny_swordsman]

That sounds the same, too.

[keeptothevows]

If it weren't, you wouldn't be you. [Big booming laugh.]
