[Those are two faces Hubert hadn't expected to see again, though there's something distinctly off. He conceals his surprise with a straight face as he approaches, but not before taking a towel from a local, as much as he doesn't want to. It's a favor for Sango and Kirara, he reasons.

When he comes close at a respectable distance, he stops and offers her the towel without a word. Little does he know, he's no more than a stranger to them.]

[The mild surprise and confusion in her expression probably don't tell him much either, all things considered. In a completely unfamiliar place she was far less willing to trust people but... she was really wet.

Finally she tentatively takes it, looking at him a bit suspiciously.]

... Thanks.

obsequience March 19 2011, 07:33:54 UTC

[Not much, indeed, except that it's a little odd. Is something about him different to warrant that confusion? When she takes the towel off his hand, he rests it on his hip.]

. . . I'm merely returning the favor.

[He didn't do it for the sake of being nice. Really.]

Though, I hadn't expected to see you or Kirara again.

enduringslayer March 19 2011, 07:59:42 UTC

[...Okay, now she's definitely lost.]

What are you talking about? How did you know...? [She glances down at Kirara, but she didn't seem to be responding either positively or negatively to this person. She goes quiet for a second.]

Who are you?

obsequience March 19 2011, 08:14:55 UTC

[ . . . And she just lost him. There's the furrowing of his brows to show for it, when he realizes that she doesn't know him. No recognition whatsoever.

This is a dilemma. But it's a dilemma he's grown accustomed to.]

It seems you've forgotten, though that's no fault of yours. I am Hubert Ozwell.

enduringslayer March 19 2011, 09:27:35 UTC

Hubert? Uhh... [This was awkward. Apparently she doesn't need to introduce herself, but his name didn't ring any bells and despite any possible dangers she was very curious about what he was talking about. She had dealt with memory loss on the other side of things...]

What exactly did I forget?

obsequience March 19 2011, 14:55:59 UTC

[He can't answer until he finds out what she's forgotten, since it's unlikely she'd only forget him for a freak reason. Fixing his glasses with his right index finger, he responds with a question of his own.]

Is this place familiar at all to you?

enduringslayer March 19 2011, 20:28:16 UTC

No, I just woke up here. Are you from this place?

obsequience March 19 2011, 21:20:18 UTC

There are locals, but a portion of the population consists of foreigners, including myself. Like you and Kirara, I arrived to Vatheon in a similarly wet fashion.

enduringslayer March 19 2011, 21:34:09 UTC

Wait, you're saying this has happened to others here? What's the reason?

And how do you know Kirara and I?

obsequience March 19 2011, 21:49:42 UTC

[He looks up, as though he's musing on the answer.]

The locals neglect to give us what we want most: Information.

[Then he lowers his head to face Sango again.] That is, exactly why we are here . . . and what happens to those who disappear, only to reappear the way you have. You and Kirara had been here, once, before the two of you vanished. And it looks like you bear no recollection of your previous stay, which was when we'd met.

enduringslayer March 19 2011, 23:46:18 UTC

[She's still finding this hard to believe, nor does she seem very thrilled at how helpful the locals sound.] Great...

No, I don't remember anything like that. Er... sorry.

How did we "disappear"?

obsequience March 20 2011, 00:44:10 UTC

[There's no need to apologize, but he doesn't say it. It'd be pointless to when she's already done so.]

You simply vanished. I doubt anyone was around to witness how. One day, you were there; the next day, you were presumably sent back to your world.

enduringslayer March 20 2011, 02:13:01 UTC

So you're saying people just appear and vanish here randomly.

[She frowns thoughtfully.]

Do you know anything else? Like, how long were we here?

obsequience March 20 2011, 02:45:34 UTC

Yes. More or less.

I hadn't much of an opportunity to know you, but the two of you had been present for at least a month -- most likely longer.

enduringslayer March 21 2011, 02:59:53 UTC

That long? Something's definitely wrong if I can't remember something like that.
