♣ 6 ♣ [video]

[The device turns on, revealing a Loras who looks...tired. He has been sleeping for two weeks (he has looked at the date), but he feels no more rested than he would, before.

He has been home. Living for months without knowledge of this place. But as he has woken up--he remembers the prophecy, the future he saw, so many weeks ago.

He knows that when he returns home, it will come true.

There is no escaping it.

So if he looks more serious, older, well. It is just the way of things, now.]

It seems while I slept, I returned home. I do not understand how it has occurred or why I have returned but--

--I can not deny the truth of it.

[He runs his free hand through his mess of curls.]

Can someone tell me what I have missed?

And--how many of you have returned home, and had no recollection of this place? Is that how it happens, always? With no way to use the knowledge of things learned here, back in our worlds?

[To avoid his fate--oh he wishes that he could.]

Loras!

Esso figure... I step away for a moment...

[How annoying really to spend so much time at some one's bedside only to have them wake up the very second you had to leave.]

You are awake! I was beginning to wonder how much longer you could sleep. Do you feel well?

[Video]

[dyingisnotdead]

[Loras smiles; it's strange, to see a face after so many months--or at least, it seems that long, in his head.]

I'm...tired. Are you the cause of the strange thing that was in my arm?

[true_renaissance_man]

[It is difficult to respond and hurry back to Loras's room, but he does attempt it. ]

The IV? Si, signora Sonya felt it would be the best way to keep you from dehydrating while you slept and I agreed. You were out for so long... it seemed the only way.

[lt_blade]

So Leonardo was telling the truth then.

You didn't miss much.

Not sure if that's a good or bad thing in this place.

[dyingisnotdead]

Better to miss nothing here. I have enough to deal with at home, it seems.

[discrepant]

It would depend on the last memory you have of this world. But I do not believe all of your memories have fully returned just yet, correct?

[After all, it took him some time to slowly regain his own memories when he had first disappeared.]

If you left before the seasonal change, then you have not missed much. Recently the grand majority of Asgard have been celebrating the winter holidays, there have been no attacks since the earthquake, heat wave, and forewarning voices.

[As for his question.]

You are not alone over the matter. I have gone through it as well. All of my memories of Asgard were gone during the brief time I was in my world before returning. [A small pause.] How do you currently feel, Ser Tyrell-san? Are you well? [Because he still remembers the headaches.]

audio;

[dyingisnotdead]

It is quite fuzzy, yes.

[Loras sighs, shaking his head.]

I don't...I do not know if I remember those things.

[This is such a mess.]

I feel exhausted. Just...wanting to sleep more, which is more than ridiculous.

[unkneaded]

I wouldn't know where to begin to answer that. Not only did I not remember this place when I went back, I didn't remember it after returning either.

Video

[dyingisnotdead]

...truly?

[Loras frowns.]

Well it seems that I am lucky to at least remember my life here, at least.

[applegoddess]

Hi Loras, it's good to see you awake. Are you ok? You look a bit dazed. Maybe I should bring you some food or a drink.

{ video }

[dyingisnotdead]

I just feel a bit tired.

A bit food and drink would be good, I think.

( video )

[doveprincess]

Ser Loras, are you alright? I was worried when I did not see you for a while... D-Did something happen to you at home?

[She bites her lip, because she knows things aren't looking good in Westeros, but since she left King's Landing all she knows is what Baelish tells her.]

( video )

[dyingisnotdead]

...nothing that you need to trouble yourself over, my lady.

[It doesn't effect her at all.]

Are you doing well?

[sweettalk]

[Damn. Why are you back ?]

So we can't even be assured we'll stay home once we leave Asgard ?

[dyingisnotdead]

[Because he is too fabulous not to be.]

No, we can't, it seems.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

As far as we know, no one has ever remembered anything at home, no.

[Video]

[dyingisnotdead]

Why do you think that is? I--you think they would allow us to remember.

[video]

[needsnoheadsman]

As far as I know, it's a common occurrence. And so is returning here without knowing you were here before--you remember now, and in that, you've fared better than I have.

And for what you've missed, ser, there was a winter festival, and not much else besides that.

[A breath, then:] What happened when you returned home? [Arya, what happened to Arya? What of the North, what happened after my uncle's wedding, what happened to the people we left behind, what happened to what little of my family is still alive there, what happened, please tell me. He doesn't say any of those, though, but it's obvious enough that he wants to know.]

[video]

[dyingisnotdead]

...I suppose--I would sadden people if I could not remember them.

[He has already lost enough.]

Lady Sansa said as much--I am sad to have missed such merriment.

[Loras watches for a few moments, and shakes his head.]

I know nothing of your siblings. Lord Edmund Tully is still held captive by the Freys, as the Lannisters attempt to gain Rivverun from your Uncle, Blackfish.

I think that's part of the gods' plans, for us to forget being here when we're home. [ Allison didn't remember any of it and god, how she wishes she had. If she did, her mom would still be alive right now.

Which, of course, means she'd try to kill Scott again, so maybe--

No. She can't think like that. ]

As far as I know, anyone who has gone home and come back doesn't remember being here. At least not while they're home. Sometimes they don't even remember when they get back.

video;

[dyingisnotdead]

Well I don't like that plan.

[He snorts, tossing his hair slightly.]

I have seen that...I just don't understand why it has to be that way. Some of us could do so much with the knowledge provided to us.

[unbrokenwheel]

[Leo holds up a hand, then lets it fall.] I've been there and bought that T-shirt. I'm not sure exactly why we forget everything but I think it has to do with preserving the universe as it was. If that makes any sense. Anyway, I completely disappeared and came back here older and maybe a little wiser.

[Video]

[dyingisnotdead]

...you bought a t-shirt?

[Loras doesn't understand that terminology.]

It doesn't, though. By allowing me to remember, I might actually be able to keep myself from dying.

[digophelia]

Mr. Loras! Is everything alright? You're not hurt, are you?

[dyingisnotdead]

I'm...I'm fine, thank you, Alice.
