Apparently, this isn't the first time I've been here, even though I don't remember ever winding up in a place called Luceti with bloody wings stuck on my back. And it seems that some of you know me without me knowing you. Which is just weird. So if you knew me before, would you mind reintroducing yourselves to me instead of just expecting me to

Oh, you must be the chess guy.

[Voice]

[sacrificemyself]

... the 'chess guy?'

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Hermione mentioned you. Said you were good at it.

[Voice]

[sacrificemyself]

Oh. [Why no, he doesn't sound stupidly pleased right now. Not at all.] Yeah, I guess I'm okay.

Who're you?

[1week_wizard]

... Another wizard?

[sacrificemyself]

...yeah. That won't be a problem, will it?

[1week_wizard]

No.

[sacrificemyself]

Oh. That's good, then.

[esper_flight]

I'm Terra. We didn't meet before, but I remember hearing about your earlier visit from Hermione.

So...welcome back? I hope you settle in well.

[Voice]

[sacrificemyself]

Blimey, it's like Hermione's met everyone here, hasn't she?

Anyway, yeah, hi, nice to meet you, Terra. I'll be fine, once I surrender the last shred of my sanity that's telling me that none of this is possible.

[A soft laugh.]

I know the feeling. This place can be pretty strange, but at least a lot of the neighbors are friendly. We try to help each other as much as we can.

[Voice]

[sacrificemyself]

Seems almost a bit too friendly. Not that I'm complaining, since I can make do without a large number of gits, but people here seem a bit too easy-going for being part of a forced experiment.

[Well hey there, roomie~ There's a Neville standing in the open doorway, being careful to avoid being so presumptuous as to invite himself to sit down.] Oh. . . You're writing in that book?

[Hiya buddy, come on in and join the party... the party of one. Glancing up at Neville, Ron looks like he'd welcome any kind of distraction that didn't involve a slow and painful death.] Hey, Neville. Yeah, just figured I'd clear the air. A couple of people have been getting me confused with the other... me, weird as it is to say that.

[While he'd love to grin and be friendly and supportive, there's the matter of first and foremost establishing how deeply Ron's established himself in Luceti's culture.] So you believe what Harry and Hermione are saying about you having been here before?

[Action]

[sacrificemyself]

[Ron and deep. Not exactly two words that often go in the same sentence, unless "trouble" is another word thrown in. At any rate, he sighs and shakes his head.] I dunno, mate. I mean, they swear it was me, and I'd like to think that if anyone could tell the difference between me and some kind of impostor, it'd be them, you know?

[inabook]

[sacrificemyself]

But are they really the same people, though? I mean, I'm still finding it a little hard to believe that whoever was here before was really me.

Nice to see that Hermione's not the only one making friends, then, I guess. Good to meet you, Estelle.

[inabook]

[sacrificemyself]

No, but that doesn't mean you can just believe everything people've been filling your head with.
