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?

Hmmm...you're right! It was! What's your name? I'm Panda!

[voice]

[explaining]

[...Guy doesn't even know if that dude is still here but-]

Ah, Flynn. Flynn- [shit what was his last name] She. Foh. Flynn Sheefoh.

Re: [voice]

[bamboozler]

Ahh, Flynn Shi-Foh! What a cool name...!

[voice]

[hisdarkmark]

But can you guarantee that your best is enough? [It's cool, Guy, he doesn't really care too much.]

[voice]

[presumablyalone]

It really is... [Sometimes the feeling is uncomfortably close to what it's like back home. His friends promise to see him again, but even after they get to meet again, he ends up all alone. For good.]

Is it wrong to want them to come back?

[ voice - filtered ]

[herotypical]

...Then I look forward to seeing you back behind the counter. Until then? Take good care of yourself, Guy.

[voice; private]

[explaining]

I can make some.

Can you meet me later tonight? Ten o'clock, in front of Seventh Heaven? [If he goes to Good Spirits, he might see someone familiar- no, he definitely will, because he knows everyone who staffs the bar. He'd rather not be distracted, especially if Xion's news is going to be exceptionally bad.]

[explaining]

Yeah...to tell you the truth, I don't remember any of it. Even my journal doesn't have anything from those months, it just has the last entry I made a year ago.

[voice]

[explaining]

Thank you, thank you. I think it's pretty cool too.

[S-sorry Flynn.]

[voice]

[explaining]

For certain parties, it's definitely enough. [Draco seems to have high standards though.]

Write anything while I was away?

[voice]

[explaining]

You know I've been wondering that myself, and I have to say it isn't. There's nothing wrong with missing friends and family.

[ voice - filtered ]

[explaining]

Yup. [Hopefully they'll be able to talk more about Buffy when he sees her in person. He feels like he's missed an awful lot.] You take care too.

[voice]

[hisdarkmark]

Heh, you remember that. ...I might have, but I've been doing an entire overhaul of my works.

[voice; private]

[fourteen]

.... okay. I'll see you then.

[ A beat. ] I'm sorry to do this so soon... but... I had a feeling you'd want to know.

[ Finally, faintly: ] Bye.

[ She shuts the book. She'll meet him that night, and spend the entire interim wondering if she's made the right choice. ]

[ctrlaltdemons]

Haha, yeaaah... Still pretty embarrassing though. I don't think the guy's here anymore, but when I talked to him about this, he seemed alright.

[silversnowfall]

How very strange.

It sounds terrible to say, sometimes, but it's good to have you here again.

[Voice]

[broji]

I've heard about people not remembering their previous time in Luceti, but it does seem kind of unusual for someone to remember just part of it.

Sounds likes a good deal of time might've passed between then and now.

[action]

[explaining]

[True to his word, Guy is in front of Seventh Heaven at ten sharp. He'd actually arrived fifteen minutes early, to pace around and think about whether or not he really wanted to go behind Luke's back first thing.

Nope, that feeling is still there. Even if Luke doesn't want him to know, Guy deserves to know. As his friend.]

[voice]

[explaining]

Got an editor lined up yet?

[Guy selflessly volunteers.]

[voice]

[hisdarkmark]

[....ffffffffffff. Hear that, Guy? That was most definitely a snort of amusement.]

Not quite. It's hard to find an editor that's well-versed in vampire lore and torrid affairs.

[explaining]

Someone should put together a book of arrival stories like that. We could hand it out to people for the sake of memories. Or maybe to New Feathers, if they're feeling particularly embarrassed about how they showed up.

[voice]

[explaining]

I could become well-versed in those things with some time, I'm sure.

[explaining]

You know, I've been telling myself since I showed up how terrible it is for me to be happy that the people I know are still here, but I don't care anymore.

I'm glad you're here too, Nephry.

[voice]

[hisdarkmark]

Lucky for you, you're in Luceti. All the time in the universe. I'm afraid I can't pay you very well though.

[voice]

[explaining]

The reward is a job well done.

[And reading Draco's stuff.]

Besides, I'm not the type who's good with free time. I need to keep busy.
