[Video, backdated to Jan 3rd]

[ Rhys has only just stepped out of the castle when he starts the video. There's not much that has changed about him. His hair is slicked slightly more to the side, with a couple of stylish stray hairs hanging down, and the colour of his left eye is golden rather than blue. Closer to his natural eye color, but still obviously different.

If he doesn't look very happy, well, that's because he was in the middle of something. Meaning that, after a lot of time and effort, they finally managed to open the damn vault, but before he got to actually see what was in that big chest, he ended up here. So, yeah, you can bet he's annoyed. All that work and he's left with a cliffhanger, and now it might be months before he finds out! ]


Hi, everyone. Not sure ... I don't know who noticed I was gone, or how long I was gone, or who's still here, but ... I'm back? Rhys. That's my name. I'm-- Uh. So. Slightly disconcerting fact. I went home for ... a while. Like. Months. Thing is, I don't think I remembered ever being here. I'm a little, uh, confused, still. It's like I need to sort out what order everything happened in and who everyone is.

A lot's happened. Not gonna go into that. Just a ... couple of things. Firstly, if Klaus and company are still here and you're still living in that house, I'd love if someone could meet me halfway with a coat or something because I'm dressed for the desert, not this. Secondly, Gaige, if you're still here and willing to talk to me, that'd be ... great. Or I guess you could just cuss me out more, or punch me in the face, or whatever.

Other than that, let me know if I missed anything exciting? Again, no idea how long it's been. Pretty sure it was winter when I was here last but, I dunno, maybe it's been a whole year. Or more.

[ He does one single finger gun, and ends the feed before he starts making his way through Honir district.

Feel free to run into him in person and say hi. ]

.. I really hope that'll be true for all of us then. [ It's no definite confirmation, but probably the closest to that she can get, right? Chizuru clasps her hands together, almost as if she's praying for it to be true. ]

Oh.. Sorry for asking you that though, we should be talking about you right now instead! You don't feel too bad about ending up here after having been able to be home, do you?

That's good. [ Especially since she can imagine it might be frustrating for some people instead to have finally regained their home only to end up here again.. And the irony of it being that they wouldn't realise they even regained anything at all if they didn't remember their stay in this city while back home. ]

And since apparently time stops back home while we're here, it means they will all be right there when you return.

[ Chizuru seems to notice the shiver though. And she's too caring to not comment on it, despite it being such a small thing in the end. ]

.. Do you maybe want to go inside? You should drink something warm if you're not used to things being this cold anymore. [ Do they even have seasons in space? Who knows. He wasn't exactly a snow expert before, after all. So probably not. ] I can go with you, if you want. I'd love to listen to stories from your home.

[ She shakes her head. ]

Don't worry about me. I'm probably used to more than you think. [ Which is actually true for once rather than just Chizuru trying to placate someone.. But on the other hand-- ] If you don't want to talk about the bad things though, then of course that's fine! I'd gladly listen to a story about your cute robot friend.

[ That sure is a weird description to try and visualize inside of your head. Especially when you're Chizuru and you're from a time where there's no modern technology yet, let alone robots.. She's just imagining a person curled up into a ball now.

Which is really weird. ]


She sounds like a.. unique person. [ ??? She's trying so hard to be diplomatic here while also being really confused. ] Could she talk with you too?
tealeafs: (with your colours)

[personal profile] tealeafs 2020-01-20 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
That's sweet..

[ And hey, if apparently being friends with an odd-looking robot is a totally normal thing, then Chizuru can at least accept that idea a little more easily. ]

It must have been nice to have someone like that with you.

Maybe she's just really good at looking on the bright side of things. [ It's something Chizuru aspires to be like too, but she knows she often still fails at it. So in her eyes it's actually kind of admirable that Rhys' robot friend manages to be so consistently positive. ]

.. who knows though, maybe she'll show up here too one day. You never know who could appear.

Maybe it's not really about being 'alive' in a human or animal sense, but more just about being able to think for yourself and communicate..? I haven't really seen any animals being pulled into this place, after all.

[ Not in the way they have been, at least. She's not counting all the animals that suddenly arrived all together right before things got really, really weird with the natives trying to sacrifice said animals.. ]

I mean, there aren't just humans here, so what draws you here doesn't seem to mind what you are.

[ The way Chizuru suddenly goes quiet after he says that probably says a lot about how little she has considered the concept of a soul before.. ]

Would.. they not have those..? [ The fact that she's questioning that has a lot to do with the fact she's never seen a robot in person. His description just made it sound like an oddly-shaped person! ]

Aren't they like metal people..?

[ She may have had an explanation and only retained some parts of it.. ]
