[Nesreca, you have a new resident. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, he has found himself near some dilapidated buildings somewhere in Russia, and not on a boat in a rainstorm. Unfortunately, nothing of his initial reaction to finding himself suddenly compatriotless, in entirely the wrong location, is recorded. But trust me, it had been fairly

[Uhhhh pretty sure he...heard...Allen. earlier. Pretty sure his water wasn't alcohol either...

WHAT THE HELL IS EVEN GOING ON-- oh new arrival.]

answer what?

[meansprout]

[Yep, there is Red standing there, in all his auburn glory. With a fat Tim sitting atop his noggin. He turns when he hears Kanda coming down, and rolls his eyes as he walks over, looking rather annoyed. Although he might be secretly a tiny bit relieved. Finally, a familiar face.]

There you are. --What are you wearing?

[promisedlotus]

... Who are you?

[meansprout]

[--and he stops short.

No. Not this again, come on. Goddammit, how does Kanda not know who he is? He sucks in a breath, fists curling. There's nothing quite like ending up in another world where the people you've known for years don't recognize you.]

Red!

[promisedlotus]

... I don't know any Red. I know a different Exorcist with your face.

[meansprout]

[You and Lavi, man...]

How-- there aren't any other Exorcists with my face! This is the same shit that demon idiot told me!

[promisedlotus]

... Look.

[Pulling out his PDA and playing a video of Allen. Red might recognize it as the welcome video.]

[meansprout]

[He watches a few seconds before his eyes snap back up to Kanda's face. He doesn't want to watch that goddang video with his freaky other-self.]

That's not me...!

[promisedlotus]

I don't know you.

[meansprout]

[He just makes a low, frustrated sound through grit teeth, turning away from Kanda. He runs both hands over his face, trying to... figure out what he's going to do about any of this.]

Fuck...

[promisedlotus]

...It happens, sprout. It's not...the first time we've - [Him and Lavi, of the remaining core group.] - had to tell an Exorcist we don't know them.

[meansprout]

[Muttered;] Shut up. Nothing here makes any sense...

[promisedlotus]

It never has in the year I've been here.

[meansprout]

[Wait.]

...Year?

[promisedlotus]

That's what I said.

[meansprout]

You've wasted a year here? What have you been doing!?
