[recrowns]

Do I get to see your face eventually?

[retellers]

[ they think for a moment. ]

The others aren't removing their masks as far as I know, so I'm not sure if I should...

[recrowns]

[ah

he's pouting]

Hm...

[don't just get discouraged so fast over a whim]

[retellers]

M-Maybe if they think it's okay...?

[recrowns]

... I suppose I can be patient if you ask them....

[he didn't care that much before until he was told no

but

he'll try]

[retellers]

It might not be for about a week, since I'm needed in town...

[recrowns]

Hm.... Alright, then I'll be patient.

[he literally has no other choice]

Do you have other unspoken rules between all of you?

[retellers]

Not that I can think of... I suppose a courtesy, we don't really talk too much about each other's personal details? The few we recall, that is.

[recrowns]

No gossip.... I suppose that's fair.

Do you feel as though you're all still strangers to each other, too?

[retellers]

Perhaps. A few weeks is a short amount of time to know someone... especially when none of us have our memories, and we were preoccupied with preparations.

Though I don't know what they might think of me.

[recrowns]

Maybe you can try asking them like we talked about.

But.... I do think that you're all in a unique position to be collaborating on this together. It would be for the best if you could all get along. A more united front inspires more confidence from followers, typically. [a beat] Though in some ways I guess that goes against the competition aspect.

[retellers]

[ hm ]

I think Rabbit is intimidated by Tiger...

[recrowns]

Ah, I haven't spoken to Tiger yet...

Are they aggressive?

[retellers]

They are rather blunt. I believe they do not have a high opinion of most people.

[recrowns]

Haha, even someone like me would probably get on their nerves.

[don't just admit that]

[retellers]

Probably.

But I don't think that will stop you.

[recrowns]

It probably won't.

[easily]

Though I do hope that I don't end up causing them a headache... We'll see. Each of you that I've spoken to has been kind thus far at least.

[retellers]

... I would like to think that everyone is doing their best.

[recrowns]

[he nods!]

I believe they are.

Though - there is something that I've been curious about... It's true that time has stopped in our own worlds, yes?

[retellers]

Yes. You will be sent back to the moment from which you left.

[recrowns]

[he nods]

Yona and I are from different time periods, and she's a little further along than I am - so would it be correct for me to assume that a different branch of reality exists due to this discrepancy? A version of me who has no recollection of these events?

[i'm sorry you have to get this tag so early in the morning]

[retellers]

[ goat doesn't seem too bewildered by the talk of alternate timelines, at least. i, personally, want to die, though. ]

It's possible. Another explanation may be that the Soo-won she knows is still the you who stands here now, but in the future will return home--time can work in strange ways.

[recrowns]

[ . . . . hmmmm. he sighs a bit at that, apparently that's getting close to an answer he didn't want. and so - ]

And if the version of myself here dies?

Will the version of me in her timeline cease to exist as well?

[retellers]

I'm not sure. These are only my guesses. It's also still possible that you and the Soo-won she knows are separate entities.

[recrowns]

[ . . . hm. he nods along with that.]

Well, let's hope so. It would give me more chances to survive.

[w

would it]
