Don't worry, she laughed when she saw the royalty results too. And then shrieked in terror.

So, I've got a ... question. The freaky things don't exactly seem to be stopping, and one thing hit me as really weird.

The whole. "Founder's Day Court" thing. It didn't stand out to me until afterwards, but... well. I looked back through what's been posted to Retrospec so far, and... There are definitely more than a couple of us chosen from that who are also on THIS.

That ... seems more than a little odd, doesn't it?


[Someone seems to be lacking a certain amount of energy that's normally on display. Why, it's not as if many more "freaky" things have been happening, right?

I mean. Unless you woke up in the middle of the night with some awfully weird visions in your head, or you're desperately trying to stave off the desire to build a conspiracy wall in your bedroom.]

Alicia Clover I feel it may be more accurate to say that all or almost all of the royalty are members of Retrospec. That is part of the mystery... and it only deepens as time passes. I am not quite ready to declare the situation suspicious, but... It is highly unusual.
rosettareflected: (That's a fine line.)

Alicia Clover When you've eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. Coincidences are all well and good,
but at a certain point we have to take foul play into serious consideration.


[The other comment catches her off guard, and it's a second before she replies; how much should she say? She saw something, certainly, but... is that what Maya's asking about?]

Alicia Clover Weird? Weird in what way? Because I'm still not over the chocobo thing, so that's still weird in my book.
rosettareflected: (That's troubling.)

[Even as she wants to reply, something stops her. That last comment gets her attention and sticks in her mind for a moment. Something that's just in her head-]

Alicia Clover Like a memory that feels real but can't possibly be mine?
rosettareflected: (That's...)

[personal profile] rosettareflected 2017-02-14 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah, there's the pit of dread forming in her chest.]

Alicia Clover Perhaps we are.

[...that might be a little ominous to leave quite there, Alicia realizes after a second.]

Alicia Clover Although I only remember a piece of architecture that does not seem to exist in our world, mostly.
rosettareflected: (Really?)

[personal profile] rosettareflected 2017-02-15 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Alicia Clover I would ask how you knew it was me?

[Her mind is whirling already. It's impossible. It's impossible, and yet...]

Alicia Clover And, if it's not too much... what you saw?
rosettareflected: (I don't think I like that idea.)

[personal profile] rosettareflected 2017-02-15 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[...oh, hell.]

Alicia Clover Kind of an orange or maybe gold color for hair? Eyes about the same color?
rosettareflected: (What has happened...?)

[personal profile] rosettareflected 2017-02-15 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Alicia Clover Look, Maya, I understand we're friends. But reading that is really freaking me out. I don't
Alicia Clover How do you have a memory of me that I don't have?

[Professor Lunise's words come back to haunt her: how often do you remember something differently than a friend? Or in this case, the friend remembers and she doesn't even know what the hell is going on. She's going to hyperventilate at this rate, she really needs to calm down but she's kind of forgetting how.]
rosettareflected: (But that's-!)

[personal profile] rosettareflected 2017-02-16 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[That was not the intended effect, and Alicia immediately recoils; what has she done? She's still freaked out, but some semblance of self returns to her.]

Alicia Clover Oh, I'm sorry, Maya! That came out very, very wrong. I'm scared, and I'm frustrated, and
Alicia Clover Not that it's any excuse. I don't blame you. I blame whatever is going on in this Godforsaken place.
Alicia Clover Please, talk to me... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...
rosettareflected: (What a disaster...)

[personal profile] rosettareflected 2017-02-16 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, thank heavens, she didn't scare Maya away... She takes a deep breath, hoping she can come across a little more calmly than she feels.]

Alicia Clover Believe me, this isn't the first thing that's scared me. It's just the most present because it directly involves someone else I know. And if you're crazy, then we can all go to the mad house together.
Alicia Clover I don't understand either. Part of me wants to ask about sleepover, but part of me thinks I'd be better off not knowing. How far down does the rabbit hole go?
rosettareflected: (Ahaha.)

[personal profile] rosettareflected 2017-02-16 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Alicia Clover I appreciate your vote of confidence, but I'd prefer not to add that to my wardrobe if at all possible, aha...
Alicia Clover Weirder how, though? It's already shaping up to be strange enough with just what you've told me.
rosettareflected: (That's troubling.)

[personal profile] rosettareflected 2017-02-16 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Blink, blink. There's radio silence for a moment.]

Alicia Clover It'd only be weirder if you told me they corresponded to our hair colors. Then we'd truly be knee-deep in an anime.

[personal profile] rosettareflected 2017-02-16 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Alicia Clover That is indeed weirder, alas. It's also highly unusual and I have questions that I am not certain you'll have the answers for at present, given we're both still largely in the dark on what we're seeing.

[Like who broke physics.]
rosettareflected: ([+L] Uh-oh.)

[personal profile] rosettareflected 2017-02-17 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a long pause. Then:]

Alicia Clover A rabbit, and a dog, and a bear, and a cat. Pink, and blue, and yellow, and purple.
Alicia Clover Why do I know that? Maya, the only way we can have the same memory is...

[She can't type the words. If she does, it's admitting to herself that her life has gone upside down. But aloud to herself, without even thinking about it:]

...if we knew each other before this. If we were friends long ago. Oh, God. What's going on...?
