So here's the thing: ignoring the whole not technically real bit-- since, y'know, been there, done that long enough, thanks-- I gotta give credit to this world for somehow trapping me here. Noooot exactly something that's ever happened to me before. Way to go! Buuut I'm getting ahead of things. Kinda jumped right in with the dialogue without properly introducing myself, woops. The name's Lea. Got it memorized?

Great, now that I've got that covered, I've just got a couple of questions I'd like answered. First off, anyone seen any kids with giant keys hanging around? Or, well, okay, anyone with a giant key, I guess. It prooobably sounds weird, but it's kind of important. Aaand the other thing is, all kudos to the world barrier for being able to block me aside, is there anyone here working on figuring that thing out? 'Cause if there is, I'd definitely be willing to be part of that getting-the-heck-out-of-here committee. Just sayin'!

Thaaat's pretty much it. Thanks.

[lea takes a moment to appreciate how talking to non-talkative kids is far too familiar territory for him before huffing out a laugh] Thanks for the info anyway. You got a name, kid?

[trytryagain]

Akemi Homura.

I am friends with Xion.

[rescuerdownunder]

[He was about to comment on the weird name but then... for some reason, that sounds vaguely familiar. Uh.] That's nice?

[trytryagain]

She's from your world.

Usually, people who come here from the same world share acquaintances.

[rescuerdownunder]

You'd think so, but there's kind of a lot of worlds around my parts. Sorry, but I've never heard of any Xions.

[except for the nagging feeling he knows her but you know]

[trytryagain]

My mistake.

[rescuerdownunder]

Good to know they take people from similar groups though. Probably means something somewhere down the line.

[trytryagain]

Perhaps.

[rescuerdownunder]

[i'm sorry are you expecting him to stop talking because no he never. stops.]

There anyone here with you from your world?

[trytryagain]

Yes.

[rescuerdownunder]

That a good yes or a bad yes? Friend or foe?

[trytryagain]

It's... complex.

An ally.

[rescuerdownunder]

Sounds like a circumstantial kinda ally. As in, the ally bit depends on your current circumstances. Am I right?

[stop being a smug douche, lea]

[trytryagain]

Kyuubey is constant.

I am circumstantial.

How old are you?

[ceded]

Homura, no!

Please -- please don't! Don't tell him about me.

[PRIVATE]

[trytryagain]

I'm sorry.

I'll try to correct my mistake.

...What is wrong?

[PRIVATE]

[ceded]

Thank you...

It's hard to explain. I'm really sorry. He doesn't remember who I am.

[PRIVATE]

[trytryagain]

I'm sorry.

I've had that happen as well.

[PRIVATE]

[ceded]

You have...?

If anyone else from my world comes here, please don't mention me, okay? None of them are supposed to remember me.

[PRIVATE]

[trytryagain]

I won't say more.

I'm sorry. I should have known better.

[PRIVATE]

[ceded]

That's okay. I understand.

Please don't apologize. You didn't know. You're just trying to look out for me... that's really kind.

[PRIVATE]

[trytryagain]

You... are my friend.

[PRIVATE]

[ceded]

... that's right. Thank you so much, Homura. You've been a wonderful friend to me.

[PRIVATE]

[trytryagain]

You're welcome.

[PRIVATE]

[ceded]

Maybe ... when things calm down, we could spend some more time together.
