Man.

[A pause.]

Has anyone ever gotten that sudden rush, where you remember a whole lot of something all at once? Or you think you remember all of it, but then there's pieces missing...

Hahaha wow I'm dizzy. Okay, sitting down.

Um- well all right, I won't beat around the bush. Nami, Zack? Buffy? Draco? Meryl? What about anybody from home? Luke, Asch?

I don't need help, I'm all right to get to the village myself, but a friendly voice would be nice to listen to for the walk in. Maybe some conversation while I catch my breath. Ah, how about- hm. Your first day here in Luceti; how was it for you?

[fabrecation]

I...

[Ah. Caught. Luke's eyes widen with surprise, even though he thinks to himself that he shouldn't be surprised.

The contact breaks once more, and again he presses his cheek to Guy's shoulder. Not to just bump it, though. Now he's just resting it there.]

I'm sorry. I-It's okay if you want to get mad... [Even though Guy's kind of scary when he's mad, especially at Luke.]

[Action]

[explaining]

Nah. I think I'm all right not knowing for now. [Guy lifts a hand to rest on Luke's hair before ruffling it.] I want you to trust me too, after all.

[Action]

[fabrecation]

[The action makes most of the guilt and discomfort and memories wash away, and he lets out a laugh while he gently bats at Guy's arm.]

Okay, okay! I meant what I said, you know.

[voice]

[bamboozler]

...How could everyone be so cruel, then? Always trying to suck me up? I thought it happened to everyone...

[Action]

[explaining]

All right. Next time I get irritated with you and you get all snippy with me, I'll remind you of this.

[Action]

[fabrecation]

Hey, what? Trusting you doesn't mean I can't get snippy with you!

[Action]

[explaining]

No no, about the part where you said I could get mad. That's still on, right? I have one free 'get mad at you' for whenever I want to use it, right?

[Voice]

[distressedude]

I can't imagine Luke or Xion would mind, though I can't exactly speak for them... but of course, you're also welcome to stay with us at House One if you'd like? We have more than enough room. [Too much, if anyone asked him -- especially now with the mostly-empty second story.]

[voice]

[failguardian]

Of course! ♥ There were some refugees crowding up the place a while ago, but they've all cleared out now!

[ voice - filtered ]

[herotypical]

...I'll get you the best damn kettle a fellow could ever ask for.

[Voice]

[trueknight]

Don't get too excited. I just don't feel like drinking alone if I can avoid it.

[Voice]

[explaining]

Haha, that doesn't surprise me. [Especially Asch. He needs all the allies he can get, even if he pretends he doesn't.]

Is your sister still here too?

[explaining]

Governor. [Guy grins.] I'm kind of amazed that so many people are still here. I'd always thought the turnover rate was higher than this. [Not that he's complaining. Even though morally, he should.]

[voice]

[explaining]

Oh wow, that long? Huh.

[Considering the conversion rates though, that's almost the amount of time he spent back home. Weird.]

There's a few bits and pieces from after that, but for the most part, yeah. That's it.

[silversnowfall]

Please - just Nephry. Or I will start calling you Count Gardios instead. ...If only that were true, about the number of people getting to return home.

[[ooc: Count? It's count right? I feel like it is count. Chocula.]]

[voice]

[explaining]

Sorry fella. Looks like you just have bad luck with that sort of thing.

[voice]

[fierybluebird]

[That'd be truly sad.]

On a tree branch over the river. I woke up and fell in.

[Voice] 1/3

[explaining]

[WAIT.]

[Voice]

[explaining]

[DID YOU SAY-]

[Voice]

[explaining]

So.

Luke and Xion are living together, huh?

[voice]

[fourteen]

... so you don't ...

[ She stops herself before she can elaborate, but she sounds ... disturbed.

Guy had been there with her when Luke had died. In fact, he was the only one to truly understand how it felt, how she reacted then. But this Guy... if what he's saying it's true, it's almost like... the last thing he remembers is the last time he disappeared, before he came back.

She's alone in that memory, now. It bothers her more than she wants to admit. ]

That's ... that's really strange. [ She manages a laugh, but Guy might recognize the tactic from Luke; it's a forced thing, meant to smooth over a topic she doesn't want to broach. ] I think you're going to run into a lot of confusion at first...

[voice]

[presumablyalone]

Mm. I'm very grateful to those kinds of people.

[He tries to sound happy but it definitely doesn't show when he answers the question.]

...No. She... left a couple of months ago. [And that had been her second time here. The first time that she left he had only known her for a month or so before she left for almost a year.]

[voice]

[bamboozler]

Mmmm...I see. [Despair! This world where I'm unlucky has me in despair!] I'm a bad luck bear, then, aren't I...

[voice]

[hisdarkmark]

You didn't seem to remember much of anyone that wasn't from your own world, if I recall correctly.

[Voice]

[broji]

[And Luke's just that kind of person, isn't he? Always helping people. No, maybe it isn't so surprising it was them.]

No, not anymore. She disappeared a while ago - back in May.

[Hopefully Guy hasn't hit his head or something... Ginji still remembers helping drag (the other) him across the village to be healed and put to bed.]

Don't you remember?
