a thing

[heroinhisowntime]

[In the tradition of Aather games, the setting is a stone room with no windows... or doors. There is a simple table with two chairs set with some basic food - meats, cheeses, fruit, etc. There is also a piece of paper on the table with instructions, but it just reads Take this chance how you will.

There is nothing else in the room except for its two inhabitants, who both appear in it suddenly.]

[verypointed]

There were a lot of hurdles along the way. But you're right.

So what now?

[heroinhisowntime]

Dunno... I wonder how much time we have left.

[verypointed]

[eyes the walls again]

You're sure we can't just try and escape?

[heroinhisowntime]

Well... no. But it probably wouldn't help. And there might not be anything outside... like, actually nothing. I'm not really sure how this works.

[verypointed]

You really got yourself into a weird situation this time, huh?

[heroinhisowntime]

Guess so.

[verypointed]

[sighs, then shakes his head]

This really wasn't how I imagined seeing you again.

[heroinhisowntime]

It would be pretty weird if you imagined something like this.

[verypointed]

... ha ha, very funny.

[heroinhisowntime]

...What did you imagine?

[verypointed]

I didn't really have an concrete details thought up then.

[Shrugs lightly.]

Though I guess... the most likely situation would be if I had somehow travel led to your hometown to say hi.

[heroinhisowntime]

My hometown, huh... I don't remember it at all.

[verypointed]

I've never been, so you'll have to remember that yourself. I think your family lives there.

[heroinhisowntime]

I don't remember them at all either.

[s-sigh]

I've got a lot of work to do still.

[verypointed]

... you really do.

Do you remember the other Heroes, at least?

[heroinhisowntime]

Bits of them... mostly Fire Emblem and Blue Rose and Origami Cyclone. And we were all together in a couple of my memories.

[verypointed]

I see.

[heroinhisowntime]

They're all doing alright?

[verypointed]

I haven't talked to them for a while... to be honest. But I think they're doing pretty well.

[heroinhisowntime]

That's good.

[verypointed]

Is it difficult for you, talking about things you should remember but... don't?

[heroinhisowntime]

I dunno about difficult... it's kind of weird, though. I haven't really talked about this stuff much.

[verypointed]

No one to... talk to?

[heroinhisowntime]

Not exactly no one... but it's not really the same. And I guess I'm not very good at it in general.

[verypointed]

No, you're not at all.

You're great at meddling into other peoples business, but... you don't really talk about yourself much.
