[ After a whispered string of (very English-sounding and) colourful swearing, the device finally turns on to reveal a very cranky (and confused!) looking young lady who seems to be quite convinced that this is all a big bad joke. Anyone who recognizes her may notice she's actually much younger again- and may have a bit of a different air around her. ]

... normally I'd believe that they were messing with my head again, but the longer I look around-

[ They couldn't have possibly created memories so confusing and elaborate. She's not even sure what to think, but she looks back at the device, as though attempting to consolidate whatever memories she's recalling here with the ones she arrived with. ]

I really was here, wasn't I? Once before... [ She doesn't sound very certain, but give her a bit. ]

No... surely it was a dream, but- All these faces- [ she pauses, moving a hand over the side of her head as she begins to murmur names... ]

Vivio... Cain? Rosella... [ So many names- ] Lloyd... Ky... Jun... Demyx? Natalia... Guy..... Peony... Alexis...

[ She quickly shakes her head, turning back to the device and staring at it, her expression firm. ]

If anyone by those names are here, then speak up! Was I really here once before?!

[ She has to know for certain- even if she's remembering it all even as she speaks. She finally glares at the device and grabs it, looking quite annoyed. ]

Oh, don't give me the silent treatment after all of that! This is too elaborate even for them- none of this is adding up, so whoever is listening had better have answers!! What the devil is going on?!

[ She's very, very confused, but hey, welcome her to the City again? :D She'll be wandering around near the fountains. Because water. Why else. ]

If you've been here before, you know what's coming next, right?

[ Wow, cute! The girl on screen is distractingly pretty enough that she kind of wants to focus on her appearance for a bit. But- damn those priorities. ]

"Curses and woes, and the people in the City groan?" Something like that...

[ Brain, why won't you cooperate. ]

Can't say your face popped up during the big flashback I just had, either. Definitely think I missed out if I really was here.

[ She still needs time to process this. But hey, a little friendliness never killed anyone, right? ]

Well, considering how I've been here for almost three years, I'd say yeah - you have. Unless we just never coincided - but I'd remember someone like you on the network.

[ Three years... she's still trying to figure out how long ago it was that she was here. She's getting a number... ]

It's a bit of a blur, but the memories I'm getting are of a near five years before I made it out. Guess you might have been one of the lucky ones that made it in right after.

[ She smirks though... ]

Don't take my word for it, though. I'm doubting most of the things I'm saying right now.

2/3 I lied!

Megumi...

We're not swarming with visitors today, so you must have been brought back into the City.

[ A young maiden and another returning arrival... she also sounds like she needs some help. Lucina had found herself waking up here not too long ago and had been planning on searching for her comrades, though it seems she's not the only one.

Well, there is no reason she can't do both. Everyone should be reunited with their loved ones. ]

My lady, if your comrades are missing, then I will undertake the task of finding them all. You can count on me. All I need are descriptions of them, and I will journey across the lands, from morning till evening, until I encounter them.

[ "My Lady"? She blinks in surprise at that address, staring at the device. Oh, right... this place- apparently did that, didn't it? Well, the guy above is a prime example, but even so... ]

Woah, hey- no need for that, luv. Not that there's much "land" to cover in this place... Unless it expanded in the time I was gone. I found one so far, so don't fre...

[ Excuse her for a moment as she trails off though, because now that she's getting a better look...

... it's like looking into a mirror if it was cross-processed and tinted blue. She stares for a bit. ]

Wow. It's almost like I found myself from three years ago, though.

[ Lame joke but... ]

Ah- ...our resemblance is uncanny, but I am certain it must be coincidence. My father would never betray my mother and have any other affairs. Their love is emblazoned in legend.

[ And Chrom is far too honest, and mother is far too violent when she's angry ... It would be a foolish endeavor indeed. Still, it is a bit strange, all things considered. If she remembers correctly, those trapped here had been brought in from lands of the likes she had never heard of. ]

We may have distantly shared blood. Where do you hail from?

... You've been here before? Hn. Must've been before my time - or you didn't make a lasting impression on me.

[ R U D E ]

Bet your winning personality didn't do it for me either, gitface. I've been gone almost three years now!

[ he probably has a tiny dick, too. :| ]

[majorcrotchgrab]

[... He does. BUT HE AIN'T EVEN BOVVER'D]

Three years...? Well. That explains it then. You were before my time in the City.

And I'll let that insult slide for now.

[herooftheimperium]

[Cain? How does this pleasant-looking young lady know my name? Cain straightens his uniform and adjusts his greatcap to an official-looking angle before turning on the camera. It wouldn't do to look like a slob if she turned out from the Empire now would it? He smiles to himself]

You called ma'am? Commissar Ciaphas Cain at your service. [he bows his head as he says it] I don't believe I've had the pleasure of making your acquaintance, but you seem to be familiar with me. Have we met before?

[oceanmist]

[ Eek! She blinks before she stares at the new face that's just appeared. ]

C-Commissar? Oh, no- it's alright. I found the Cain I was looking for...

[ She gives him an apologetic and sheepish smile. ]

I don't think we've met, either. Have you been here long?

[ He must be new, seeing as she spent a good five years here... ]

Re: video;

[herooftheimperium]

[Cain can't help but smile at how flustered she got but, since he's still not sure whether or not she's from The Empire, he keeps his military discipline]

I was brought to the City around a month ago. It took me some time to settle in, but things are not as bad here as I first thought they would be. You've intrigued me though. You say there is another Cain here in the city? Is he a Commissar too? [Cain puts the slightest hint of aggession into his question. The idea of someone masquerading as him in a City where nobody would know better was suprisingly infuriating]

[vengefully]

You remember being here before?

[oceanmist]

Mostly...

[ AH, this guy!! ]

... didn't I mess with your... powers, once?

[Sasuke just stares for a moment, assuming it was from his early years in the City which honestly he tries not to remember but she does seem vaguely familiar to him at least] Maybe— it's possible since you seem to recognize me.

Oh my god, poor Megumi; 1/2

[sitaronthewater]

[Demyx hears the voice on the network, and it almost takes him by shock.] Ah-?

And 2/2, Action!

[sitaronthewater]

[And that is all the warning Megumi will get before a swirling black and purple vortex appears a few feet next to her, a hooded figure stepping out. He flips down his hood, grinning like crazy while the vortex disappears.]

Megumi!

poor Demyx you mean [ 1/2 ]

[oceanmist]

[ She hates being jumped out at, she hates being surprise, so when the black vortex of doom suddenly starts up next to her and she literally gets ready to scream when it does show up- ]

Eek-!!

[ 2/2 ]

[oceanmist]

[ And it's just his luck that she doesn't end up punching him like her fist is ready to, because she actually recognizes him, her eyes going wide- ]


Wait... Demyx? Really?!

[ Instantly, the fear and shock turns into joy as she reaches out and grabs him, giving him a tight hug. ]

It really is you!! Jerk, don't scare me like that!
