Act 12. The Return [Aging -Up- Event]

[lme_leadingman]

Memento Eden... I had thought that I'd never have to endure this place again, but it seems that even now this island isn't through toying with me; it seems to take pleasure in interrupting both my life and my acting career even now. When will you finally have had enough

My name is Yomiko!

[lme_leadingman]

Miss Yomiko...?

You weren't this young the last time I met you. I would have remembered if you were, I believe.

Hrm... do you remember me?

[deathly_origami]

Yes, that's my name! Yomiko Readman!

I'm sorry, I don't recall you, sir. I've been told that I've been turned into a child and lost my memories of this place... Were we friends?

[lme_leadingman]

Hmm... interesting. It seems that the opposite has happened to me. Rather than being turned into a child, it seems that I have aged by about ten years, or else my older self was brought back to this place with more recent memories in tact. I am not entirely sure which it is, only that I remember being younger when I came here before, and that my memories are not so limited as they once were.

Yes, I know you, Miss Yomiko. We worked at the library together for quite some time. My name is Ren Tsuruga, I'm an actor where I come from.

Well, well, well. Looks like we have a loaded one here, eh Patti?

[lilsis_deathgun]

Eeheehee. Give us everything you got, asshole. Heeheeheehee.

[lme_leadingman]

Hrm.... [Looks slightly concerned. What have we here?]

I beg your pardon, ladies. It would seem that you've caught me in something of a bind. I am afraid I do not have a great deal of money on my person at the time.

However, if you must have it...

[Reaches into a back pocket and produces some cash in Japanese yen.]

...I suppose I have no choice but to give this to you.

[Watches them cautiously, a vague hint of a smile playing on his face. He ponders what he should do in this situation.]

[bigsis_deathgun]

That's right. Be a good lil' rich boy and hand it all over. Ya don't want me n'Patti to hafta get all serious on ya.

[allnaturalmagic]

...Ren? Is that you?

[lme_leadingman]

Ah, Miss Terra.
You haven't changed at all.

[Slightly confused.]

Actually... to be honest, you look younger than I expected, considering I haven't been present here in quite a while. I suppose the island is up to its games again?

[allnaturalmagic]

Younger? The island turned me into a child last week, but aside from that, I've been this age the entire time I've been here.

[lme_leadingman]

Hrm... I wonder if this means I was brought back to the past.

You say you were turned into a child only last week, but I seem to recall that having happened years ago.
