♣ 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.]

They have enough power to bring us here and keep us trapped for indefinite amounts of time. [ So Allison wouldn't call them completely powerless. ]

But yet they can't fight their own wars.

[ She shrugs a little. ] I never said they made sense.

[dyingisnotdead]

I don't think they want to, in truth.

Forgive me, I don't think we have spoken before. Where are my manners.

My name is Loras Tyrell.

Allison Argent. [ It's not like she remembered her manners, either. ] If it makes you feel better, Loras, you're not the only one who's been home while sleeping lately. I think it's actually happened more lately than in the entire time I've been here. [ Or maybe it's just happening more to people she knows. ]

Do you think that might mean something?

[He has never been the best at sorting out mysteries.]

[ She shrugs a little. ] Maybe? It might not be anything more profound than the gods like messing with us, though.

Well if they are petty they wouldn't be different than anyone else.

Just more powerful. Which is a really bad thing when it's combined with pettiness.

[dyingisnotdead]

It truly truly is. And yet, we are...trapped.

[ She nods, obviously not pleased with the whole situation. But what can they do other than fight and hope that it all comes out well in the end? ]

I'm Allison, by the way. I don't think we've talked before.

[dyingisnotdead]

Loras. And we have not. Have you been here for some time?

[gymnast]

Since day 125. [ So, yeah, quite some time. ] Though I'm not sure if those two weeks I was asleep really count. [ Since she was somehow both here and back home. ]

[dyingisnotdead]

In truth...I do not even remember what day I arrived. Perhaps I should have paid more attention--but it is so strange here.

[ She nods a little. ] Yeah, it really is. I'm honestly not too sure why I remember it so well.
