Good evening. I'm sorry-

[ for the time he's lost-for the burden he's making of himself-for any disappointment to come. loaded words, and Allen's voice is steady on the pull. ]

. . . to interrupt. I was wondering if someone might spare the answers to a few questions. The season's a bit cold for what I remember.

Has it been this crowded for long?

*voice, hard out here for a messiah, needs a sandwich, whose woods these are i think i know, needs a better plan, o please brood moar, but i have promises to keep, information please, and miles to go before i sleep, something the dead are keeping back

[Taking a break from the mikan harvest, Katara is flipping through her journals when she hears a familiar voice. She peers in the picture, but can't quite make it out...

The question, though. "Has it been this crowded for long?" That means... it's someone who remembers?]

It seems like it gets more crowded every couple of months, but... [OK, politeness is giving way to curiosity very quickly.] I'm sorry, but your voice is really familiar. I'm Katara, [Do I know you?] have you been here before?

Maybe it's only that there's a wave of us coming in, then.

[ a beat. ]

I suppose it must have been longer than I thought. This is Allen speaking.

[ Voice ] 1/2 markofthebrave November 17 2011, 05:35:28 UTC

What?

[Oh.

Wow.]

[ Voice ] markofthebrave November 17 2011, 05:36:56 UTC

[And he remembers.

At least a little.

And there's that familiar mixture of happiness and guilt.]

Oh wow, Allen! I never thought I'd see you again!

[She's heard this voice before and not for a good year but she can't forget it. Selphie never forgets a friend. Especially those with very distinguishing markings on their faces. Regardless, she has to make sure because you never know with Luceti and the Malnosso with their tricks.]

Excuse me! Can I ask you a question?

[Voice] outwalks November 17 2011, 05:23:33 UTC

[ if you didn't know any better, this might sound teasing. but surely Allen Walker's too proper a gentleman for that. ]

And if I refused?

[Voice] boomchucka November 17 2011, 05:29:02 UTC

[Allen, you're a brat just like Selphie. :P]

I'll just have to find something to set on fire then. Would you answer my question then?

[Voice] outwalks November 17 2011, 05:37:26 UTC

Blackmail's a terrible habit, you realise.

Huh? What do you mean by that? It's not really crowded.

[voice] outwalks November 18 2011, 02:34:35 UTC

I stand corrected, then. It's a bit different from what I was expecting, is all.

[voice] ruinedhiswish November 19 2011, 14:40:13 UTC

Expecting? You mean you really have been here before?

[voice] outwalks November 23 2011, 06:52:09 UTC

-Is that unusual now?

From that question-- Does this mean that you're a old timer here?

[Voice] outwalks November 18 2011, 02:34:27 UTC

I wouldn't call it that. But I've been here before.

[Voice] kamiyandisease November 19 2011, 01:21:24 UTC

I've heard of people who've been here for years and years, but I didn't think it was possible.

[Voice] outwalks November 19 2011, 03:07:12 UTC

It isn't common. Most people tend to go home in less than half the time.

[Voice] markofthewise November 17 2011, 23:01:11 UTC

That sounds suspiciously like a "oh I'm back in Luceti" kind of question.

[Voice] outwalks November 18 2011, 02:35:11 UTC

Guilty. Though it's been a while, apparently.

[Voice] markofthewise November 18 2011, 04:42:17 UTC

How long of a while are we talking? It's November, Year Five here.

[Voice] outwalks November 18 2011, 20:02:49 UTC

-ah. Year Five since. . . ?
