[ voice ]

I guess it's one of those days again... I sort of like how this month is being pretty predictable. Not that I expected this, but at least we know how this curse works...

... Though I wonder if any of the people that suddenly come here on days like this actually stay... Or if you could go back with them. Has anyone that came on days like

[Hey Tyr. Anytime you choose to wander in your room, you might fine a lovely young lady there.

Dozing in your bed.]

[stargathering]

[ Actually, Tyr forgot his wallet! He comes back in after a few moments, and...

Staring. He hesitates before going further in, turning his head to the side... She looks vaguely familiar, but white hair isn't exactly common. ]

Are... you okay?

[asadwish]

[She's still asleep when he comes in, but she rouses slightly hearing a voice.]

Hello....? [Staring. Who are you.]

W-who are you?!

[stargathering]

I should be the one asking that... [ He's going to stay here, a few feet away. ] I'm Tyr McDohl, and this is my room...

[startrailing]

[He doesn't know what he's doing here. Is this all a dream? Another nightmare? He, at least, hopes this isn't the latter.]

[startrailing]

[But then, while strolling through this chilly place, he spots someone from afar.]

[startrailing]

[Someone he knew well.]

Hey, look who I find here...

[ Tyr... didn't expect this when he walked outside. In a crowd of so many people, he thought it would be inevitable to see a familiar face, yet...

He was just frozen there. He decided before that these couldn't be products of his imagination, but he almost wished this was... It would make more sense. Much more. ]

[sound_rune]

[ah, this place...

this place is-!]

[down the street, Connell was currently running down the familiar pathways that he'd always go through... as he's no longer a "citizen" here, he doesn't have a device anymore to contact people or even check the contact list to see who else is still around.

but surely, if he goes through these streets and the locations that he's been before...

probably, he'll see them...]

[stargathering]

[ If there was anyone he met in the City that Tyr had longed to see again, it would be Connell. He wouldn't admit to this, ever, but the way his face lit up seeing Connell again, he wasn't exactly trying to hide it. He looked like he was okay, too, to Tyr's immense relief. ]

Connell! [ Coming right up to you, musician friend ]

[that voice...

it immediately caused him to stop. his body trembled slightly.

he knew that voice so well, he felt a few tears leave his eyes as he halted his footsteps.

[sound_rune]

[slowly, he turned around.

... and ran to catch the other's body within his arms.]

Tyr...

Tyr...!!

[pristinestar]

Yo...

[a small wave from a near-by street]

[stargathering]

[ Peeers. It takes him a moment, but! ]

Ah, it's you. You came back, too?

[pristinestar]

Looks like it...

Is it that visiting curse again?

[stargathering]

That's what it looks like...

You seem to be in a pretty good mood this time.

[euphonic_exhile]

[... he seriously doesn't know what to think right now. while squeezing through the crowds, he was just trying to not be carried away within the groups of visitors. he eventually made it to a safe corner.

he let out a flustrated sigh and stared out at the mess. not this place again.]

[stargathering]

[ Yes, it's this place again. With all the horrible crowds. Maybe you should have been dropped in somewhere else.

But if you had, Tyr wouldn't have seen you well enough to remember you. He leans against one of the adjacent walls. ]

Are you okay? You look a little...

[euphonic_exhile]

I'm fi- [and he paused for a second. where has he heard that voice before?

after he had looked back and saw Tyr's face, he realized who it was. it was that boy... the same one he met here...]

... Ah. It's you.

[stargathering]

Yeah, me... [ Don't have to sound so excited, goodness. ]

It's Etude, right? Did you just arrive here again?
