Return to the City

[Video / Action]

[There was a bright light, a sense that he was no longer in the Pillar Room, and then… the cold hard surface of the pavement beneath his hands. Eagle struggled to look up. The experience in Cephiro had been very draining but he was here, alive, he must have been found worthy enough to become the Pillar. ]

Where is…?

[This place looked nothing at all like Cephiro. It was too developed, to ‘City-like’. He didn‘t even notice the small device sitting by his side recording everything.]

Is this also part of the test? No… I think we were both able to leave the Pillar room, but if that is the case just where is this?

[He was talking to himself or so he thought but some random citizen ran over to hug him anyway. Eagle had to chuckle a bit as the random person left again.]

At least the people here are very friendly.

[OOC: Run into Eagle as he re-investigate the City fresh from his canon update? Hugs welcome. ^^]

Hey! I heard you were-

[Whoops, stopping as she processes the rest of what he's saying.]

Wait, you don't recognize the City?

[Hello stranger. ]

No, I don't recognize this particular City.

[There was something about the way she had asked that. ]

Should I? I didn't think Cephiro had any cities like this.

You're serious...

[Since Eagle's been out of the City, Rita figures this isn't temporary.]

You've been here before, but forgetting it is kind of normal.

[Eh, I only had him forget at all because it is kind of normal for the place. I think I'll have him remember Rita's love of cats first. ^^ ]

I have? Isn't kind of strange to forget a place like this? How long ago was I supposed to have been here?

[Aww, that's too cute! X)]

It's normal for here. I'm pretty sure it's only been a week or so.

[It's definitely something he would want to remember about her! ]

A week? Now that just isn't possible. I was only in Cephiro a moment ago and a week ago I would have been traveling to Cephiro.

Even powerful magic can't really alter time like that, can it?

[And it's a happy memory~!]

Yeah, it can. You could come from any world at any time, and the City sends you right back to the same place. So when you go back to your world, it's like you never left.

[A very happy one! It would be terrible to have him remember all the terrible things without the good ones too. ]

That seems... maybe this world has a Pillar too? A Pillar might be able to cause magic like that to happen.

[Exactly! Gotta balance it out~!]

Pillar? I don't know what yo're talking about, but this is like an alternate dimension.

[Right on! ]

And some how we met in this 'alternate dimension'?

[:3]

Yeah--somehow...

Anyway, I'm Rita Mordio, genius mage.

[For some reason her saying 'yeah--somehow...' like that make him chuckle. He is not sure why.]

Rita. That does some how feel familiar...

[She blinks, curious now.]

Really? I've seen some people get their memories back after a little while. They must not've been totally wiped.

Maybe... but I thought...

[Maybe he was wrong about this. ]

I could have sworn 'Rita' was the name of a cat.

Huh?

[And here she had hopes!]

Do I look like a cat?!

[Eagle takes a good long look at her. ]

You might look more natural with some ears.

L-like I just happen to have cat ears lying around.

[...She does.]

No, of course you don't! I don't even know where that idea came from!

[He'll remember that. :P So cute!]

You probably have it mixed up with something...

I can't imagine what.

[This faint memory will haunt him until he fully recovers it. ]

I don't even think I know anyone who owns a cat.

[Except you... and him... ]

You knew plenty of people who did.

[The two of them, plus Tyr...that counts as "plenty" to her!]

You just can't remember it yet.

I guess that really doesn't matter right now anyway. I have to find my way back to Cephiro.

[Or his house here once he figures out he can't get back. ^^]

Ugh, this again...

[Please don't be reckless trying to escape again, Eagle.]

You can't get out. You've tried. It's failed.

There is a wall?

[A barrier maybe? He does have the faintest memory of something like that. ]

Something like that--there is a barrier around the City. One group was able to go beyond it before, but some weird twist in space or something made them end up right back here.
