oo40 [ written/voice ] (backdated to May 20th!)

( Private | Locked 100% )

It's still hard to believe so much has happened recently. It feels like things haven't stopped since that experiment. That's just Luceti, though. Things are always like this. But I'm still not sure what I want to do. Or what I should do ( Read more... )

deep thoughts, this post is ridiculous, stupid malnosso, she has a lot of feelings, who needs filters, somber not sad, !voice, why are her tags so depressing?, needs more happy, !written, excuse me while i ramble, vanitas sucks, question for the masses

Us...?

[When Ion opened his journal to see what had been going on since his last kidnapping returned him to the village as a newborn replica, this certainly wasn't what he expected to find. The subject had been on his mind, certainly, but... it seemed a rather strange coincidence. It takes a moment for him to place her voice, having only spoken with Xion once before aside from what he knew of her during that last experiment as someone engaged to Luke.]

[He hesitates only another moment before speaking again.]

Would that mean you are a replica as well?

[Voice] //Filtered poppetry May 28 2011, 05:34:02 UTC

[ ... this is -- this is hard. Even if she knows it's a fellow Replica, it's ... it's ...

...

Softly, very softly ]

Yeah.

[It takes him a moment to register that she replied, if only because he's noticing how many other people are responding to this filter as well... some, people he knew. He didn't quite know what to think, seeing this all so suddenly.]

...I had no idea there were so many others here.

You too?

[ Rep scribbles it out quickly before he has time to think about whether or not it's a bad idea. ]

[Written/Voice] //Filtered - : D! soreplaceable May 29 2011, 21:27:17 UTC

Riku, you... [He had seen Riku's written reply before his own, but that didn't make it any less surprising to see him acknowledge it.]

[He nods, simply responding verbally to Riku's writing.]

...yes. Before I arrived in Luceti, it had only been about two years since I was born.

[Written] //Filtered - and finally they learn XD personafalsify May 29 2011, 22:52:55 UTC

[ He has to process that for a little while. ]

I don't even know when I was born.

[Voice] //Filtered - It's about tiiiime soreplaceable May 29 2011, 23:36:14 UTC

You don't know?

[Perhaps he lost track of time or had simply been made when he was younger and never realized... Ion keeps his voice soft and gentle, hoping to avoid potentially saying something that could hurt him. He didn't know much, if anything, about the other's situation, after all.]

[Written] //Filtered - Rep tends not to talk about it personafalsify May 29 2011, 23:41:44 UTC

I have memories that aren't mine. I don't know where my own memories start.

[Voice] //Filtered - /hugs all the replicas soreplaceable May 30 2011, 00:27:50 UTC

[False memories.]

[The idea that something like that could be possible in other worlds shouldn't surprise him, but it does.]

Does that mean... you were born with the memories of your original?

[Written] //Filtered - /smooshes them with you personafalsify May 30 2011, 00:38:13 UTC

I don't really know. I don't think I was born like this, but

[ ... but there's only one person left in Luceti who would know. ]

[Voice] //Filtered - /REPLIHUGS soreplaceable May 30 2011, 03:44:37 UTC

[Ion sees that crossed out text and considers asking about it, but... perhaps it was just a slip of the hand. Er, claw, in his case.]

[His next words are quiet, and chosen very carefully.]

Would that mean there was a time when you didn't know you were a replica?

[Written] //Filtered - /REPLIHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGS personafalsify May 30 2011, 03:56:26 UTC

[ There's a pause. There's so much he could respond to that with. About Namine, or how he fought with Xion, or how he keeps trying to get out of Riku's shadow only to slip further into it. All the memories that he knows are his because they hurt in a way that the fake memories don't. Instead the reply is short, blunt, and more than a bit self-defeating. ]

At first I thought he was the fake.

[Voice] //Filtered soreplaceable May 30 2011, 05:11:02 UTC

[...oh. Ion can't even begin to imagine what that would have felt like. He doesn't know what to say to that at first... just how much has Riku had to deal with up to now?]

That must have been so painful... no one deserves to go through something like that.

[Written] //Filtered personafalsify May 30 2011, 05:33:42 UTC

[ The sympathy only helps a little. Condolences don't mean much to him when the fact is, he did go through something like that.

He wants to change the subject. ]

Do you know the one you... [ he's not entirely sure what follows that. "are copied from"? "are a replica of"? Something like that but he doesn't know how to ask it. ]

[Voice] //Filtered soreplaceable May 30 2011, 05:46:26 UTC

[He doesn't have to finish that sentence for Ion to know what he means.]

...yes. I'm a replica of the original Fon Master Ion. The seventh one. I was meant to replace him when he died... but replicas in my world aren't born with any memories. Instead, I was trained how to be like him so no one would realize what had happened.

["Trained"... it seemed almost demeaning to put it like that, but there really was no better word for it.]

[Written] //Filtered personafalsify May 30 2011, 06:00:57 UTC

[ Seven... that's a lot. That's quite a lot.

They were both made to be replacements. ]

At least you knew what you really were from the start.
