hey i cant reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedsvxz

[.......Is whatever is left from ???'s attempt to type when the feed switches over to video. Apparently he forgot to put up a filter too, but that's his loss.

As for the 5 minutes of video at start up, there's a spikey-haired brunet passed out and laying against the side of a brown cow in a rather small barn. He certainly looks a little worse-for-wear with faded bruises showing on his arms, and there's dried blood caked into his hair on one side of his head. So maybe someone hasn't completely taken care of himself after Freyr was saved, but it's not something he could consciously work on while grey.

He is also very very late to the party. Which is over already.

Gasping, 'Sora' finally shoots upright, eyes wide for a second before squeezing shut as he presses his hands to his face with a low groan. Still nothing much after that, but the cow is tilting her head back toward him, choosing to comfort him by lapping at his hair with her tongue. A hand leaves his face to push her away because ew cow spittle, settling on her nose while his other hand pinches the bridge of his own.]

Shhhh, shush. Dream, it was just a bad--

[Crap, he doesn't get dreams. Something is wrong with this picture; which is why ??? cracks open his eyes again to squint/glare at the wall across from him. Catching up is a bit......slow for him right now, and it's not just that his whole body is wrong. When ??? eventually gets onto his feet, he more or less continues stumbling along with a certain lack of balance. That and he may just get sick, with how pale he suddenly looks. Coming back from being grey after getting his version of a concussion is bad, but being human makes it worse.]

Urgh, stupid humernnnugh... [Double-taking to look at his hands, he's pretty sure those aren't his gloves (although they look familiar). He also isn't stupid enough to wear big, yellow shoes.] Why am I in--?!

[That's not his voice either!

Moving to the water trough (with a little less stumbling), ??? tries to get a good glimpse at his reflection. It's really not doing him any favors with how murky it is, but he finally gets the results he's looking for....And his expression is switching to pure horror.] Why...

WHAT THE HELL?!

[[ooc: ???'s been cursed to look like Data!Sora now that I'm back from hiatus. :D For icons, I'll be using memoirofsky while tagging.]]

Comments

[memoirofsky]

[He has to sigh a little bit, running a hand over the back of his neck. There's a simple way to answer, but...]

You know, I wasn't my own original person. Either I disappear or I synchronize my data with someone else when I go back, soooo...yeah. Technically, I will look like this.

[nukeoleptic]

[ Jade's expression softens, seems definitely melancholy for a moment, before she shakes her head. ]

-- you'll always be you. Even if you do synchronize your data with someone else's.

[key_illusion]

[Oh geez, he's really not sure how to handle that sort of answer beyond the immediate spike of irritation. It's too optimistic for his taste that he feels bitter that it can't be like she says.]

Right. Tell that to Sora's face after I've had my memories of this place ripped away and I lose my consciousness. [Another sigh just because.]

Sorry, Jade, but it's not going to be a happy ending.

[nukeoleptic]

[ She can sense that irritation just because it reminds her so, so much of Davesprite. Especially now, with him in the city -- how many times has she had conversations just like this?

So her expression shutters a little bit, some of the blatant hopefulness dissolving. ]

Then - fine. We have you while you're here, and whether or not you look like someone else right now, you'll be you. And I'm really glad we get you, even if it's just for a little while.

[memoirofsky]

[A much better answer. If only Nina could say the same thing. There's only two endings to his fate, both sharing the same result, and he hates the idea that Nina wants to find another way that doesn't exist. So much for trying not to hurt her, but that's just the nature of his existence as well. At least Jade sounds like she understands, and it gives him a sort of sickening comfort, if that makes any sense.]

Thanks...I'm just worried that I may have updated and forgot, and now I'm in control. I really hope it's only a curse.

[nukeoleptic]

It's probably a curse. People don't usually forget things after they've updated, right? [ She sounds thoughtful. ] It's always come as a huge rush of memory to me.

[memoirofsky]

...My last update was more like a dream for me. [After having a mental break and torturing Lea. Good times.] So...maybe I just forgot. I'm not really sure how I ended up grey anyways.

[nukeoleptic]

you guys end up gray because you keep being forgetful with your bracelets!! X(

[memoirofsky]

Hey, I've been doing pretty well with not losing my bracelet until now! The last time I went grey was on purpose anyways.

[nukeoleptic]

Hehehe. Yeah, I did that too. Sucked waaaay more than I thought it would.

[memoirofsky]

So you can't complain if we disappear then.

[nukeoleptic]

What? Yes! Of course I can complain. It might make me a total hypocrite, but it's not gonna make me stop complaining.
