[So look at who finally dragged himself away from the library.

This time, Vyse is in his own bedroom in Freya, (...and an observant eye might notice the room is a mess already) looking somewhat more subdued than the last time he showed up on the network, thoughtful even.]

Hey, I got a question...

We all got brought here from our own different worlds, right? Whatever we were doing there, suddenly we're here now. And those gods can brings lots of us from the same worlds, right?

So I guess what I'm wondering is... Have any of you had someone you know show up and not remember you anymore? I don't get how it could happen. Did the gods do something to them when they got taken here?

Um... [A pause. Wait a minute, the gods did do something to all of them!!] Besides the powers anyway!

[Not even filtered from the person this is about. Discretion, what's that

Just as he's about to end the feed, though, he stops, as if remembering something. He smiles now, almost looking embarrassed.]

Oh, I'm Vyse, by the way! Guess I forgot to introduce myself last time.

[fullofspirits]

Oh! I didn't introduce myself, either. I'm Maya.

[ Hand clasp! ]

Umm.. I had something similiar happen. They still remember me, but.. they seem really different.

[unimpressive]

Nice meeting you! [Grin!]

How different?

[fullofspirits]

... I'm not sure how to describe it. It's weird.

[ give her a moment to put it into words.. ]

He seems older, sort of! And he dresses differently, and has this funny looking beard. He seems a lot calmer, too! But he remembers me.

[...Actually, no, he wants to make damn sure you hear this.]

You're a complete idiot.

[unimpressive]

[UNFAIR!

It was a perfectly valid question!!

...Oh, wait, it's him, he can probably see this too, right? Whooops.]

What? Because I asked a question?!

[shigeharu]

From what I've seen, the problem appears to be point of origin in our respective timelines, not damage to anyone's memory.

[unimpressive]

[Blinks, utterly dumbfounded for a moment. Well, that's... uh...

It's a few moments before he speaks, as he tries to make sense of the answer.]

Um... You mean... They come from another time?

[shigeharu]

Exactly that. It doesn't seem to be an uncommon phenomenon here.

voice;

[patronizing]

You are aware of the circumstances we were brought here, aren’t you? [ oh he does, good ] I can’t say that I have though, in regards to your question.

voice;

[unimpressive]

Yeah, of course I do! [Hey, give him some credit, he asked questions... to... the creepy faceless lady.]

I guess it wouldn't happen to everyone... And it's not like everyone we know is gonna be here, right?

voice;

[patronizing]

Hmph. You sure do ask a lot of questions, don’t you? Well, I guess it’s natural for an idiot to be curious about these type of things. If everyone that everyone knew were here, the place would be a lot brighter.

Well, I was told that people are sometimes brought from different points in time. So, perhaps your friend is from a time before they met you.

[A pause as she lapse into thought -- there could be other reasons for forgetting, but they're not ones she'd like to entertain. Yet, favourable or not, she suppose she must consider them all the same.]

Or perhaps they are from the future and something has given them cause to forget their pasts.

[unimpressive]

[It's a moment before he answers... mostly trying to keep from looking absolutely horrified at the thought of this person being his friend. Soon, however, he nods.]

Yeah, someone said that... It sounds kind of weird, but I guess it makes sense.

[At the second possibility she mentions though, his eyes widen.] But how could someone do that?

video;

[suchpersistence]

[A pause. She doesn't want to frighten him, but...]

The forces of time are sometimes beyond our comprehension.

[They're here, aren't they?]

video;

[orphean]

It's usually because of difference in time... but there are other times when it happens too.

video;

[unimpressive]

Other times? Like what?

video;

[orphean]

When worlds are very similar... sometimes it's possible for two people to have lived the same life with minor differences. The same events, having the same friends... [She pauses.] So it's possible to meet someone you know who doesn't know you because of that too.

[--What in the...

When he finally speaks, it's slowly, as he tries to make sense of the message.]

Um... Maybe. He could be from before he ever met me, right?

[ To make it easier, Nepeta switches to video. She's still getting used to people not understanding her quirk. Not that a gray troll with bright orange, cat-ear shaped horns is anymore normal. ]

Yes! People can be brought here from any place and any time.

[saving_sound]

...I'm sorry, I don't think I ever gave my name when we spoke, either!

[WOW WAY TO GO HIBIKI.]

My name is Hibiki! It's nice to meet you, Vyse-san!

[Video]

[unimpressive]

[And he just laughs!] That's all right! It's great to meet you, Hibiki!

[...Pause. Huh, wait what's a 'san'] ...San?

[persistentsong]

I haven't heard of anything like that happening. But, maybe its part of the Gods making us come here too.

[unimpressive]

Maybe. They could do that, right, if they brought us here?
