[For the observant, Kaien's badge is back. The Forge is perfectly centered this time, too.

Still, those who don't notice can get the confirmation that he has returned to being the Kaien who has lived in Anatole a year and a half when he speaks.]Well. That was...interesting. I don't think it got me the last time this happened, heh ( Read more... )

Events like this can repeat?

/voice/ heartbetween August 7 2011, 07:41:14 UTC

The mist is unpredictable. Anything can happen, once or multiple times.

/voice/ not_of_avon August 7 2011, 19:42:57 UTC

That's rather comforting to know.

...Sorry?

[That's just how Anatole rolls, yo.]

[Don't mind him, Kaien, there's the sound of traipsing in the wilderness going on in the background as he answers.]

So you're back to normal then, eh, Kaien-san?

[That... would be a relief, if Kaien hadn't met Kevin. Now this friendship is just threatening to turn into an even bigger mess.]

...

[Sigh.] That would depend on what it is.

[Private Voice] heartbetween August 7 2011, 07:47:22 UTC

Seems that way.

[There's a slight pause as he considers how to go about it. He's not sure if there's really a delicate way to ask why he'd changed his name.]

Kevin Regnard. That's...your real name, isn't it?

[Private Voice] break_onthru August 7 2011, 14:53:40 UTC

[Wince. Yes, that's the question he was afraid it would be.]

Just a second-

[There's the sound of some rustling, an animal growling, and then, with a sudden grunt of effort, flesh being pierced by a blade. The animal howls, then with another SWICK of a sword, falls silent.

Break returns to the Forge, chuckling under his breath.]

Oh, how to say this. Yes and no, Kaien-san. I was known by that name once, yes. But Kevin Regnard is dead. I'm Xerxes Break. I don't expect you to understand, but that's just how it is, all right?

[Private Voice] heartbetween August 13 2011, 08:43:08 UTC

[...Hrm. Welp. That's...an answer. An answer that doesn't explain much, but that alone is more than can often be said for Break's responses.

There's silence for a little while, as Kaien debates whether or not to quit while he's ahead (and possibly shift the conversation to those somewhat worrisome animal howls in the background), but there's something about what he said--I don't expect you to understand--that doesn't quite sit right with him. When he speaks up again, his voice is quite a bit more tentative.]

I can try to...if it's okay.

Why did you change it?
