001 : Video

[exiledarcana.livejournal.com]

[The feed starts up to show a very sleepy looking young man with a pale complexion, and a small beauty mark near one of his eyes. He seems troubled and has his arms wrapped around his waist as he sits at the edge of his bed, for the recording.]

Excuse me?

[He speaks softly, smiling despite the upset look on his face.]

I know it might seem to be a very silly question. But, the world hasn't ended has it?

[He laughs lightly, seemingly amused.]

No, of course it hasn't. I'm positive it didn't. I witnessed its saving. [A beat.] That being said, I'm looking for an organization known as S.E.E.S. I think...I owe them an apology.

No, the world hasn't ended, last time I checked...

[The man with clocks for eyes frowns as he tries to think of any apocalypse-related thing he may have missed in the last few days.]

No! Pretty sure it didn't. Haven't heard of your organization, though, sorry about that. Can't help there.

[exiledarcana.livejournal.com]

[Oh my. Your eyes. Very cool. He's rather amused by it, but he won't stare.]

Ah, that's too bad--about not knowing S.E.E.S, not the end of the world.

[He seems to be curious. Sorry. Your eyes are very interesting]

[clockeyes.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you'll find aomebody who knows about them. Then you'll be able to give them your apology.

[That's alright. Cheriour just grins as if he has no idea that he has such a strange visage at all.]

video.

[moribundity]

You're right, it didn't. [ He blinks before continuing. ] I thought you didn't remember any of that.

[exiledarcana.livejournal.com]

[Yep. Totally doesn't remember encountering you here before. Sorry Minato. So for now, he's just going to stare at the boy, looking both incredibly happy and terrified. Shouldn't...shouldn't he be at the seal? Shouldn't he have helped stopped the Fall?]

...Minato.

[He's quiet as he speaks, and he doesn't really say much more, instead he just smiles, overjoyed to see that the boy is alive.]

[moribundity]

[ Oh is that what happened? Minato definitely doesn't realize that, not yet. What's going on here? ]

...Ryoji.

[ There's an uncertainty to his voice when he says his friend's name, almost a question, like he's waiting for the punchline. Minato notes Ryoji's smile but simply frowns because... this is oddly reminiscent of the first time they met on their first day here. Had he forgotten all of that? ]

The end of the world, huh.

[exiledarcana.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes.
[He debates explaining, but well...]
The world was in the process of ending before I woke up here. I guess it must be alright then.

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

Let's hope so!

Did you find anyone from SEES?

[Now what. She's going to scan through this post first. Clearly something weird is happening again, and what is he talking about with Minato-kun, anyway? Seals? Oh well. You get her first video reply.]

...Ryoji-kun, what're you talking about, exactly? I thought Minato-kun said you were here already...

[exiledarcana.livejournal.com]

[Oh! Oh! He's actually very pleased to see you--but then he frowns because he feels like he's being interrogated suddenly.]

...Apparently I was here. And then I vanished, I suppose.

[He purses his lips and sighs softly.]

I'm not sure I can make much sense of it either...

[takebow]

...Right... I guess that's just something else we have to accept.

[Sigh. Being here with two dead (or never-was-actually-here -- whatever he was) people is a little creepy for her.]

Well... welcome back, then, I guess?

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

Your world was in danger, too?

[exiledarcana.livejournal.com]

[A sad little smile.]

It's my fault it was in danger.

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

Oh...

[All of her worries and suspicions fade. It's just a theory, after all. She can't let herself become so obsessed with it.

And this is really, really sad, so she should probably focus on it for now.]

... but you said you saw it saved, so that means you must not have... and you wanted to apologise to people, so... you must not have wanted it that way, right?

[masterswords.livejournal.com]

We wouldn't let it end.

[ the thought makes his brows furrow a bit. he's protected a world once and wouldn't hesitate to do it again... ]

[exiledarcana.livejournal.com]

That's a very brave and admirable way of looking at it.

[He smils a little bit.]

[orphean]

[There really are no words for this. Minato had mentioned Ryoji -- but he didn't seem to remember that? Either way, she didn't have a chance to talk to him. She's not really expecting much, to save herself from being too upset if she's not recognized again.]

Ryoji-kun...

[exiledarcana.livejournal.com]

[His face practically lights up when he sees her face through the feed and he has to keep himself from hugging someone that isn't really there.]

Minako-chan.

[It's a bright little smile, so yes, sweetie--he knows who you are.]

[While he records, Ryoji might hear the sound of footsteps in the suite's bathroom and the sound of someone fiddling with something metal inside before the door is hastily closed again. Meet your suitemate, she just locked your side of the bathroom from the inside. Not long after the noise subsides, he gets a text reply:]

text;

[exiledarcana.livejournal.com]

[Heeeey. He needs that. He might be a god, but he's still in a human form and needs to pee sometimes. Mean.]

Yes I am, ah--was that you in the bathroom just now?

[offmyhonker.livejournal.com]

[exiledarcana.livejournal.com]

[He's just going to stare at this text for a moment. What.]

Pardon? I don't think I quite follow you. If you are attempting to tell me that I'm incorrect about the world ending, I've actually received some confirmation that it hasn't.

[Seriously. What is this message.]

Me? My name is Ryoji, I...I'm not exactly a normal person. From your method of typing, it seems you aren't among what society considers normal either. Who might you be?

[katlocked.livejournal.com]

I'm actually about to head to bed so i can tag back in the morning :D

[exiledarcana.livejournal.com]

On the contrary, actually. Several members are here. And while I am entirely aware of this being another world I was merely curious about the fate of mine. :)
