Who: Anyone
When: Day 143, evening
Where: HQ
What: Intros!

[With the rain still pouring on and off all day, new arrivals will have to stick to touring the HQ. At least there's still some excitement to be had, what with all the lizagons returning to roost to avoid the rain. Try not to annoy them when you make your way down to Level 1]

You say my name that way and yet you're surprised I ended up here in the first place.

Should I be warmed by the thought that you think I'm so capable?

[thebestmedicine]

It's just so incredibly anti-climactic, after having survived Sabra la Tau. But hey, like I have room to talk.

[best_ended]

Ah, anti-climactic for those who are watching from one side. Knowing that I've come here after death and that I've been able to play witness to the struggles of humanity reclaiming a world... that makes all the difference, I should think.

In fact, if anything, that would be my wish being granted by karma. I had never liked the idea of death being so final and absolute as most would have you believe.

[thebestmedicine]

Well, when you put it like that...

[best_ended]

There. You see?

And considering how this place brings in doubles and draws from many timelines, that's just all the better? I can see all the different paths some worlds could have and might have taken.

It's a rather diverse group here.

[thebestmedicine]

. . . So it's like you died and went to your very own twisted version of Heaven.

[best_ended]

Don't be so rude.

I would have taken a Hell, too.

[thebestmedicine]

I'm not being rude, just honest.









[then, casually:]


Celty has a head.

[best_ended]

Yes, I saw.

She's from a reality in which she and Kida Masoami partnered up to fight in a war.

Apparently, an Orihara Izaya there did something rather unpleasant and they had him killed.

[tea sip]

... what will you do about her?

[thebestmedicine]

W-Wait, what?

[best_ended]

I'm asking you what you would like to do about her having a head. Keep up.

She is still a Dullahan, though her head has been reattached to her.

[thebestmedicine]

I'm more concerned about the first part right now. What kind of war? And what did you—alternate you do?

[best_ended]

[... but why are you even concerned]

How should I know? I'm not that Izaya. Though Kida-kun said something about him betraying them. I wasn't able to ask many details. They threatened me as soon as they arrived.

[shrugs a bit, leaning back in his seat]

[thebestmedicine]

[IT IS A CONCERNING AU SITUATION]

Is that really all you know?

[best_ended]

She apparently turns into a motorcycle now?

Ah, and Kida-kun was the one who did the killing.

Also, I believe there's a pale-haired, red-eyed man with a metal arm who is from their universe.

[thebestmedicine]

. . . A motorcycle . . .

[best_ended]

I can only assume since that's what they mentioned. I've never actually seen it.

[thebestmedicine]

Nothing makes any sense.

[best_ended]

Alternate timelines do that.

... so what will you do?

[thebestmedicine]

. . . I don't know. What am I supposed to do?

[best_ended]

Considering it may have to be something supernatural in order to remove her head again, you may have to deal with seeing her face.

[thebestmedicine]

What?! Don't be an idiot, that's the least of the problems here!

[best_ended]

. . .

I'm getting this weird sensation of needing to pull on your face to be sure you're really Shinra right now.

[thebestmedicine]

She's not my Celty. She's still Celty, but not the one that was in Sabra, not the one that never got out of the Pillar. And she recognized me, so she probably had a Shinra as well, but she died.


. . .


No matter how I look at it, it's my loss.

[best_ended]

[.................. but you're destroying my worldview again. STOP DOING THAT]

Haa... and here I would have thought Shinra would have been the type to say "No matter the timeline or events to come Celty is still Celty!"

It's not as though you can confirm the one in Sabra was the same one from home, for instance.

And there's only one way to confirm if this is a Celty you would have known if she hadn't gone to one world or you another.

And even beyond that, you're also not considering the fact that that Shinra from her world and that Celty from Sabra haven't met up somewhere.

[what am I doing here and why am I doing it... I don't even like Celty...]
