004 Beads; Video

[little_onimaker]

[The familiar sound of the communicator giving its owner a shock followed by a small hiss of pain from said owner. Anna looks at the communicator with vague annoyance for a moment but doesn't seem to register that it's been turned on.
She sighs. Could it be possible that she misses her old roommates?
Well, she doesn't even seem to know herself.
Anna stands up with the strange need to go find Yuki.
The video times out.]

[Moves at a brisk pace.]

This time? [Peers up at him.]

[Crap. He froze a moment, looking a little awkward before sighing heavily. She might not even believe him, but really, what was the harm in saying anything?]

You were here before, I mean not you, an older version you, from when we were...or will be the same age.

[Watches him, assessing whether he's telling the truth or not before deciding to believe him. For now.]

So, that means when I do leave this place, I'll be coming back.

[He could only nod at her in response, all the while trying to reason with how this whole messed up sequence of events could make a coherant timeline.]

For a brief time yes, but not for quite a few years, and you won't remember this visit.

[Watches him as they walk.]

And just how long have you been here?

[He paused a moment to think and mentally count. He knew it had been in summer he arrived but the weather was pretty cold still, being Discedo and all.]

A while now, I think it's been about nine months, give or take a few days.

Nine months? [Furrows brow.] And others have been here for over a year.

Yeah it's messed up. Guess it depends how much the scientists like your suffering. [Shrugs his shoulders.]

[little-onimaker.livejournal.com]

So you're basically saying that I'm going to be a labrat until they get bored of me?

It looks that way for everyone unfortunately. It sucks, but getting all frustrated won't do any good. [He'd already vented all his rage, so was trying his best to be mature for lil!Anna's sake.]

[Gives him a skeptical look.]

Hard to believe, but you do get used to this stuff. And trust me, there is enough weirdness in our world to compete with this place.

Do we go around implanting chips in each other?

[Action]

[icyprotector.livejournal.com]

Things tend to go in a more 'spiritual' direction, if you get my meaning.

[Action]

[little-onimaker.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Making this world worse.

[icyprotector.livejournal.com]

Well if anything there is somewhat less threat to our lives here, at least from what I've gone through. Funny thing about how both these places have means of ressurecting the dead.

[Action]

[little-onimaker.livejournal.com]

[Raises an eyebrow at him.] Ressurecting the dead in our world?

[Action]

[icyprotector.livejournal.com]

Shaman with god-class abilities can do it. I know it works from personal experience.

[Action]

[little-onimaker.livejournal.com]

Sounds impressive.

[Action]

[icyprotector.livejournal.com]

Well yeah, but I can say your powers are gonna be pretty impressive in the future too Anna.

[Action]

[little-onimaker.livejournal.com]

... What about my powers? [Uh-oh, insecurities.]

[Action]

[icyprotector.livejournal.com]

Well in general you use them pretty well, I mean you're able to match up some of the toughest of shaman as opposition. No doubt why the Asakura's are all for you marrying Yoh.
