♞ II. written & action.

[holyknights]

[Like many others, the recent experiment had caused Elliot Nightray some grief. Unlike everyone else, though, Elliot wasn't worried about his "family" situation now that things were over with. Something else has been worrying him instead. Namely...]

Everyone affected by that experiment had dreams last week, right? Did anyone dream of things that didn't happen? Or things that couldn't have happened?

[Unfortunately, there isn't much to do since it's raining, so housemates can find Elliot sitting near the living room window, reading. It doesn't look like he's enjoying it, though. Something's really bothering him about those dreams.]

Are you sure they couldn't have happened?

[Voice]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

There's no proof of them happening when there should be.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

A lack of proof doesn't necessarily mean that nothing happened... there are ways to erase things like that.

[He's had... first-hand experience with such things.]

[Voice]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

Erased?

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Yes. Memories, scars... even those can be altered with the right powers.

[Voice] oh my gosh, latest tag ever. so sorry! :|;

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

[This man has a surprisingly good point. "With the right powers"... Could it have been a chain?]

I've only read about those things.

[Voice] no worries!

[ledbythewind]

I'm afraid the knowledge I have on them only extends to my own world, but theoretically it could hold true for other worlds as well.

[Voice]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

Do you think the library would have books about it?

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

That's certainly a possibility. I've found books from many different worlds there; it's not unreasonable to think that there might be something written about that sort of phenomenon, be it in my world or somewhere else.

[Voice]

I'll have my servant help me look, then.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

[Oh yes, that reminds him...]

You're Leo's friend, aren't you?

[Voice]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

[There's a pause. Needless to say, this question comes as a surprise. He does not associate 'Leo' with 'people'.]

Ah... Yes, I am. He's my servant.

[Then again, now that he thinks about it, something about this guy is familiar...]

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

I thought I remembered seeing you at that picnic. I would have introduced myself then, but you seemed like you didn't want to be disturbed.

[Voice]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

...sorry. [That's either a good thing or a bad one. And more than that, it's definitely an embarrassing one. Ugh.] I'm Elliot Nightray.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Richard. A pleasure to meet you, Sir Elliot. Am I correct in assuming that you are a recent arrival as well?

[Voice]

[isntyourfriend.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's been almost two months. We all arrived around the same time.
