[ Those that happen to be paying attention to their phone today will be greeted by a rather odd looking fellow. Dark skin, bushy hair, and... what the hell is that covering his face? It actually covers his entire body but it's not like he's going to show that off right now so... ]

Yo, this thing on?

[ He'll give a few taps to the screen. He isn't even really sure what the hell he's doing. He's never even seen one of these things before. At least, he doesn't remember if he has. Not that he really remembers much, but that's aside from the point. Well, it looks like it's working, so he'll continue. ]

So, from what I gathered, everyone's pretty much in the same sad position, huh? That sucks. But, y'know. I don't think I really give a damn about who I was. Or what the hell these people actually want me to do. I mean, seriously? Risking your life to fight some stupid ass monsters to regain some shitty memories doesn't really sound like any fun to me. What if the memories you get back are terrible ones? What if you hate yourself for remembering them? Yeah, doesn't sound too thrillin' now, does it? So while ya'll are out there, doing whatever the hell it is you do, I'm gonna be here having real fun.

[ A momentary pause. His facial expression changes from that of a cocky child to, well, one that actually looks sorta perplexed. ]

Uh, so... what the hell do you guys do around here for fun, anyways?

... That is certainly an interesting way to look at it. I look forward to seeing what sorts of new memories you create for yourself here then, sir.

[zeronotone.livejournal.com]

See? That's exactly what I'm talking about. Who cares about the past when ya got the present and future to look forward to? New memories always have to be better than the old.

[badend-replay.livejournal.com]

I do agree, though please do not take insult when I say I will continue searching for old memories. I am curious to know what sort of people have shaped my life until now.

However. As a new person as arrived in my life. I am Rika. What is your name, sir?

[zeronotone.livejournal.com]

Nah, that's perfectly fine. It's only human nature, right? I might even succumb to my own curiosity sooner or later. But for now? Just think I'm gonna let the pieces of the puzzle stay where they are.

Ah, right. That whole introductory thing, huh? ...Only think I seem to remember is 'Avenger'. Pretty weird name, I guess. But I kinda like it. Nice ta meet'cha just the same.

[badend-replay.livejournal.com]

It is a fine name! I will call you by it from now on then, Avenger!



I do agree. When you become interested then I will be happy to assist you in regaining memories, then.

[zeronotone.livejournal.com]

Well, if ya say so, Rika.

Heh. Maybe it'll be sooner than later. Get a feeling I'll get bored pretty easily around here doing nothing.

[badend-replay.livejournal.com]

Well, if you get bored then perhaps we can play some games together!

[zeronotone.livejournal.com]

Games, huh? Sure, why not. Got anything in mind?

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

...What kind of attitude is that to have? Are you one of those people who always assumes the worst of any situation?

[Bit touchy, since a special someone had risked her life for some of the anemoi that Shirou redeemed.]

[zeronotone.livejournal.com]

Not at all. It was just a thought. I mean, what if you ended up being some horrible person? Would you really want to remember something like that? It's just smart thinkin' to me.

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

And what if you weren't? What if you were a superhero, and since you don't remember, you can't do anything? I think that'd be worse than remembering bad memories.

[zeronotone.livejournal.com]

[ Excuse him while he laughs. ]

A superhero? Really? I don't think those actually exist. But if that's what you want to believe, go for it. I ain't gonna stop anyone from doing what they want. Just don't come running to me when you discover something horrible about your past.

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Try telling that to the superheroes here in Sirocco.

[zeronotone.livejournal.com]

You're pulling my leg.

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

What kind of a reason would I have to make a joke about that? Besides, if you wait long enough, you'll see them around. We've already got two so far, and one hasn't even bothered to hide his real identity.

[zeronotone.livejournal.com]

Doesn't that sound a little off? I thought those types were supposed to hide their identities. ...Then again, guess it doesn't really matter in this little plane of existence.

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

A superhero who only remembers his superhero name has a hard time doing that.

[zeronotone.livejournal.com]

...Right. Memory loss. Keep forgetting about that.

[ He did that on purpose, didn't he? Damn it, Avenger. ]

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

...You keep forgetting about memory loss?

[FATECEPTION?]

[zeronotone.livejournal.com]

[ BRUUUUUM ]

...I keep forgetting that everyone is suffering from the same shit, y'know? Not that I'm really all that concerned about anyone else at the present.

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Maybe if you tried to talk to some of the other people here, you wouldn't forget as easily.

[And it might correct that other problem...though Shirou doesn't say it. At least not yet.]

[zeronotone.livejournal.com]

If I get bored enough, maybe.

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

I can't think of any better ways to spend time. How about you?

[zeronotone.livejournal.com]

Sleeping, eating, maybe picking up a few girls? Y'know, the usual stuff.

[ Shirou, meet your polar opposite. ]

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

...And that's it?

[Not Amused.]

[zeronotone.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess there's always that whole "gazing at the stars" thing. Sounds pretty neat.

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

You'll have a hard time doing that in the city. All of the lights hide the stars.

[gandere]

Fun? People have fun here?

[zeronotone.livejournal.com]

Uh... I guess? Why would anyone stay here if they didn't?

I mean, other than the whole mess I was talkin' about earlier.

Which is still stupid.

[gandere]

I think people stay here because it's easier to be with others that forget too. You know, the whole birds of a feather flock together saying?

[zeronotone.livejournal.com]

Don't flocks of birds also make easier prey?

[gandere]

Not if they fight together.

[zeronotone.livejournal.com]

You're a fighter too, huh? Didn't figure many girls would be willing to get their hands dirty doing that sorta stuff.

[gandere]

I didn't say that! [ Hmph. ] But yes, if I have to get my hands dirty, I suppose I would. Are you threatening me?

[zeronotone.livejournal.com]

Nah, I wouldn't dare threaten such a dangerous looking girl.

[ Yes, he's attempting to mock you, Rin. That tone. ]

[gandere]

That's right. I'm glad to see you have some sort of intelligence behind you.

[zeronotone.livejournal.com]

...Not the sharpest tool in the shed, are you?

[gandere]

Why are you talking about tools now?
