So I've been wonderin'.

I just noticed this funky marking on my leg the other day. What exactly is with that?

Some kind of magical seal or somethin'?

[Up pops Talia's wryly smiling mug. Guess who missed that he'd left and returned .. bummer! D:]

I believe we all have them on various parts of our bodies, Zeke .. I'm uncertain if they tie into the fact that not maintaining your journal leads to letters appearing on your body until you do so or not ..

[A hint of her own mark should should right across her clavicle area.]

[thenotmagician]

Huh. Interestin'. So if I were ta just ignore this book here and actually talk t'people face t'face, letters would attack me?

[He... kind of wants to try that now.]

Guess it's better than a shock or somethin'.

[Talia actually chuckles in response, her smile warming.]

Yes .. spread up your limbs and only begin to fade after you've posted. It doesn't seem to be permanent, so long as you do so .. but I can't say. People tend to post rather quickly upon finding letters randomly spreading across their skin.

[A wry snort, but she's still smiling.]

Yes, I must agree.

I'm sure it'd scare anyone silly if they weren't expectin' it.

And y'seem t'know who I am. Who're you?

[Video] T^T YOU SAW NOTHING!

[...

Here's Talia's smile slipping, a frown pulling her lips downward. In searching his face he looks to be entirely serious in his question.]

You .. You don't remember? [Had something happened to him? She hadn't heard any news of him dying..]

[Video]

[thenotmagician]

[Oh jeez. Zeke feels bad now.]

Afraid not. I showed up here, what, three or four days ago? People were wonderin' if I'd died or something and I'd get my memories back eventually. But it's been a while and I still don't remember anything about this place, or th'people. I've been wrackin' my brains but I'm pretty sure I've been at a place called Vertiline up until the other day.

[thequeensown]

[You should feel bad, buddy! YOU SHOULD! Except not really, cause it's totally not your fault.

She listens silently as he replies, expression easing again.]

It's .. strange .. the number of crossed times and worlds we seem to be experiencing here. But know that you are not alone and that similar has happened to others here. [Like Remy. T^T]

You said Vertiline, did you not? What was it like there?

[CHARACTER CROSSOVER INSANITY!! DANGER WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Or it would be if she knew Kloe was from Vertiline as well. LUCKY YOU!]

[thenotmagician]

Very green. Lottsa trees. Much bigger than this place, though. We were allowed t'travel wherever so long as th'fog wasn't in the way. Fog made traveling impossible.

We also had capybaras and lived in giant artichokes.

[Basically best place ever.]

[Video]

[thequeensown]

[Talia actually laughs at his description. She didn't even need her gift to know how pleased Zeke was of Vertiline.]

It sounds like you had a good deal more freedom than we're allowed here .. although I'm uncertain what a capybara or artichoke are?

[Video]

[thenotmagician]

Capybara is like a giant rat without a tail. they like t'swim. Artichokes are a kind of vegetable. Could prolly find one around here.

[Video]

[thequeensown]

[Yeah, so these are Talia's eyebrows and they're rising right on up.]

They gave you a tail-less rat and housed you in a vegetable ..?

[She doesn't sound appaled or horrified .. she actually sounds quite amused.]

I think I should very much like to see either of these things .. we have neither in my homeland..

[Video]

[thenotmagician]

Pretty much, yeah.

[He thought it was pretty cool.]

Hm. I dunno about the kitchen in the barracks, but I guess it's worth a shot. And if I find enough ingredients I can make ya some artichoke dip.

[Video]

[thequeensown]

[Talia is about to blow your mind, Zeke..]

You .. you are aware that there is a larger kitchen facility in the Great Hall? The supplies are of a far larger variety there if you've only accustomed yourself to the barracks ..

[Video]

[thenotmagician]

Oh, I already know that. I just don't wanna invade someone elses workspace, y'know?

[Video]

[thequeensown]

[Rats, mind not blown! Talia laughs, grinning rather wryly in response.]

I might've known you'd know about it already .. Perhaps you could ask the staff member that runs the kitchens if he is adverse to the assistance? He seems approachable enough ..

[And had been back aboard the Elegante.]
