10/7 // video; un: laurea

[wearingguess]

[ titus's smiling face appears. it is very close to the camera. ]

Lunatia!! Amegahara, Lyestellus! Et cetera! Moonblessed and Moonheld! Hello!!

[ he makes a slight gesture, and the camera zooms out far enough to show a fuller view. anyone who knows him will notice right away that he's different! for one thing, his hair is so long that it's disappearing out of the bottom of the shot. for some others, he's wearing ceremonial silver armor and a heavy gold-trimmed cloak, and carrying an ornate golden staff taller than he is. his forearms, formerly badly cracked and set with stones, are perfectly smooth. and he looks more grown-up—though it might be hard to tell whether that's due to change in his features, or simply to his bearing. (also, subtitles to the video are appearing in real time.) ]

It is I! Titus Alexius! I have just now returned to this world! I gather that it's been three days here, just as it was three days the last time I left and then returned... Really, I wonder why it is three days?... but this time, for me, more than three years have gone by. So much has happened, and so much remains to be done, but what a gift it is to find myself once more in this place! My memories are returning all at once, and yet they are already years old... How strange and wonderful, to experience such instantaneous nostalgia...

[ abruptly, he leans forward and claps his hands together, letting the staff slip into the crook of his arm as he does so. ] In any case—honestly, I don't know how much of this is Cordis talking, but I am so, so excited to be back! I want to see and speak to you all again! I want to meet all the people I've never yet met! I want to eat, drink, and be merry! Of course, I want to moonlace—anything from handholding on up... Oh, speaking of which, I should update my profile on "the apps," shouldn't I?... ...Ah, but that can wait.

Everyone!! I will be permitted to drink them now, so please recommend your favorite alcoholic beverages! They have so many more varieties here than we do back home, and I am excited to try them, but I do know better than to sample too many at once.

Oh!! One more thing. I should like to retain the ongoing services of anyone with healing capabilities, for any compensation you deem appropriate. It's possible that I don't actually require it—perhaps the rejuvenating effect of moonlacing will be enough by itself—but I wish to err on the side of caution.

And... let's see. Please tell me the last thing that made you smile... or your favorite thing about the world of Prismatica. Or, perhaps, tell me an interesting fact! (And just so you know, my standards for what counts as interesting are extremely easy to meet.)

[yamagishi]

An interesting fact?

I can use a Persona and it allows me to see where living things are. Does that count?

[wearingguess]

[ oh, text?? he can do that! (now, to see if muscle memory carries over across dimensions and into a different body...) ]

That's very interesting!! How does it work? Can you see them through walls and everything?

[yamagishi]

Yes I can! I just need to summon Juno and she'll tell me where they are!

I can also sense what they're strong or weak against too!

[wearingguess]

Ah, elemental alignments would be really handy to know in combat situations! ...And probably there are at least a few applications for it outside of combat situations as well.

Can you share in Juno's perceptions directly, or does she simply relay information to you?

sn: healerprincess

[im_gonna_heal_u]

You called for a healer?

Moonlacing however you want is fine!

Gosh, you look pretty different than the last time I saw you!

[wearingguess]

I did! Thank you. The issue is this: My body is artificial, and originally it would have broken down rapidly once the magoi used to create it had been depleted. The magoi supply is no longer a problem, but since the body was not designed with a long life or the human aging process in mind, it doesn't maintain itself in quite the same way as a normal human's; thus, in Remano, I receive daily treatment with life magic. I would very much appreciate it if a skilled healing magician such as yourself could assess what similar needs I may have here in Lunatia and how best to meet them.

As for moonlacing, if however I want is fine, then I want to hug and kiss!

As for my appearance, I've died since then! But the ruler of the Sacred Palace was able to send my consciousness back
into my mother's last completed spare body. With her assent, of course.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Whoa, that sounds complicated!

[ And actually, probably heavy too. Artificial body? Mother's blessing to use her last body? But she wasn't about to back down from this challenge. If she could provide his energy in turn for some Chroma? She'd be glad to do that. ]

I haven't healed artificial bodies before. But I'm up to that challenge. I definitely want to help you live as long as you can! Hugging and kissing is fine with me!

welcome back titus
not 20 yet but will recommend tomato juice
can't heal others as this current heroine sorry
aoi likes the people of prismatica the most

[wearingguess]

Thank you for the welcome, Aoi! How goes your quest?

Oh, you don't need to be 20 to drink here! 18 is the cutoff. By the way, in my world you don't have to be any particular age at all. At least, it is thus in Reim and in Magnostadt. The International Alliance has no rule about it, either. (I wonder if there is spiked tomato juice?)

I also love the people of Prismatica!!

[yabaleys]

aoi is still trying to connect to god
she might have found the center of the world
it caused a big glitch but it seems god patched it

what was your role in your world?
if aoi gets drunk titus has to take responsibility

yes
there are many nice people and aoi's made friends from many different worlds
aoi's design and backstory are boring compared to many here

[circumitus]

Been fond of a place down in Level Three... Has a dark stout. Stronger than most beers, almost a hard liquor. Gets drunk fast during Sanguis, though. Can't speak for Cordis.

[And Rey is used to having a fortitude of steel when it comes to her alcohol tolerance, so it really threw her off.

[Sheee's... not sure about addressing anything else like favorite things or fun facts. She probably has some, but she's just shit at thinking of anything like that.]

audio

[wearingguess]

Ah!! That voice... and the name. They're definitely familiar. Let me think...

You are... the one who refused to let me give you money but loved breaking into others' homes to eat their food and take showers!!

How have you been? Will you accompany me to drink the dark stout and see how it affects those influenced by Cordis?

audio

[circumitus]

[Oof, she wasn't expecting a summary -- especially delivered like... that. She almost feels mortified.]

Been better, been worse. [To answer his first query.] And, er, sure. Don't have much better things to do right now, so...

[rediscovering]

three years??! are you... ok? i guess? not sure what to ask in this scenario



last thing to make me smile is my uncle

[wearingguess]

Thank you—I am very well! Much better than I ever imagined was possible, in fact. (Though I did in fact die, and it was incredibly painful!!)

But I would love to hear more about your uncle. How long ago was this? Also, who are you?

[rediscovering]

what the fuck??? you died??! did you come back to life in your world or only when they brought you here? how the fuck can you be so cheery and nonchalant even about your own death, i don't get you.....

uncle arrived here in the city recently. im just relieved he's here now.

oh this is zuko by the way

i had a super stressful week last month so my fiancee got up early for a while and made me breakfast so i could sleep in a little longer before going to the restaurant

[wearingguess]

How wonderful... Just hearing about it makes my heart swell. Nothing is more delicious than food cooked with love and care.

I hope this present month and its various weeks have not been nearly so stressful!

[satanslash]

its

getting better

[That's sent, but then a moment later he's typing again.]

my brother showed up

un: kuwabara

[machizumo]

Oh, man. So you really went back home for years huh? I heard stuff like that can happen but I ain't seen it so
Weird.

I hope your cat doesn't get too startled.

[wearingguess]

Kuwabara, how nice to hear from you!! I hope you are well!

Phix did not seem particularly surprised or displeased to see me... but I cannot tell whether he knows I am the same person. It might actually be weirder if he did; after all, this isn't even the same body I used to have.

[machizumo]

Hold up
What??

text; un: no

[terribletwos]

you really forgot everything once you returned to your world/

text;

[wearingguess]

Roxas, hello! I'm glad to hear from you!

Yes, I did. Everything whatsoever; there was not even a sense of having forgotten something, or a feeling of loss. Of course, I expected that would be the case when I eventually returned to my world, since it was the same the first time I left and came back. What I did not expect was that I would ever be able to return here!

[terribletwos]

what happened while you were away/ you look a lot different.

[ And change is something Roxas has only started to comprehend, though the changes that occurred with people over the year he's been in Prismatica have not been especially noticeable. Titus, on the other hand... ]
