{002} - Valentine's Day

[selenic_soul]

It's been a few days already. I think I've gotten a bit used to it here. It's still strange but knowing I've been through this before... No, it's still strange. It's not right at all. Malnosso, experiments, kidnappings... How can anyone get used to a life like this?

I hope everyone is all right back home.

It's hard to imagine but you get used to it when the bad things aren't happening. Though I still worry about it myself.

I'm sure your friends are doing okay.

[selenic_soul]

Ah...?

... I haven't had anything bad happen to me yet. I'm sure my friends are just fine but thank you.

I haven't met you before. My name is Allen, it's nice to meet you.

[powerofothers]

Well it's hard to foresee when the bad things happen sometimes. So keep on your toes.

Ah, sorry about that. I'm Rock. It's nice to meet you too Allen.

[selenic_soul]

I will. I don't know much about experiments. Others told me I've been here before but I don't remember. I've looked around myself but I don't know many here yet. How do you know if there's an experiment going on?

[powerofothers]

Once you get to know people it can ease a mind.

I'm...not really sure. I don't think so anyways?

[selenic_soul]

The only person I really know is Lavi. But meeting new people is nice. How long have you been here, Rock?

[powerofothers]

I've been here since last June.

[selenic_soul]

That's a long time. You must have been through a lot while you've been here.

[powerofothers]

I have but I always made it through alright.

[selenic_soul]

What kind of experiments have you been through? Ah, if you don't mind me asking. I'm just interested.

[powerofothers]

I haven't really been involved in a lot but I've seen some weird ones. And most recently I heard about people getting sick or aging and de-aging.

Also for a brief time it seemed we had a large influx and then they all vanished.

[selenic_soul]

Wow... There's so much that goes on around here. How about the Malnosso? Have... Have you been taken by them, too? Since you got here, I mean.

[powerofothers]

Once. I never knew it hurt so much getting hit over the head with...whatever they hit me with.

[selenic_soul]

Yeah, getting hit does hurt. They didn't leave permanent scars, did they?

[powerofothers]

Nope, I think it's fine.

[selenic_soul]

I'm glad. So what kind of world do you come from? I'm still getting used to remembering that not everyone comes from where I do.
