(( The face on the screen is of a young man who isn't quite perplexed, but almost. There's definitely a question on his mind and there's only a brief pause between the image flickering to life and the question he has to pose. ))

Has anyone else encountered someone from their world who isn't the way you remember them? For example, they remember things happening that you don't.

I have met one who I remember things that have not happened for them yet.

[diabolique]

I don't think it's that. It's more like... They remember meeting me before I died, but I never met them before that.

[wu_xi]

Mm, I see. It appears time is more complicated than we could have imagined.

[diabolique]

I shouldn't be surprised. I guess life isn't the only complex mystery out there.

[wu_xi]

Indeed. Complex mysteries always abound.

[diabolique]

There was a time I was arrogant enough to think I could figure them all out.

[wu_xi]

And you are no longer?

[diabolique]

Well, I don't think I can figure out everything anymore. Death really opens a person's eyes.

[wu_xi]

You have died or does that mean something else?

[gentledawn]

Are you referring to me? [Asked oh so gently.]

[diabolique]

Yes. But it's not a bad thing! Just a little strange, don't you think?

[gentledawn]

I agree. I'm sorry for causing any confusion, but you know I will not lie to you or anyone else.

[diabolique]

It's not your fault. Nothing to apologize for, Uncle.

[gentledawn]

I am glad to see you nonetheless.

[diabolique]

As am I.

(( Perhaps more than Xingchen knows since Wei Wuxian never got to meet him while he was alive. ))

[gentledawn]

[Wuxian, just find him and start on the hugs you've missed out on. Xingchen gives amazing hugs!]

Are you free?

[diabolique]

I am. Do you want to share a meal or tea or something?

[thescorpionking]

I...yes. I have. {Xie tilts his head to observe Wuxian's image. What a handsome face.} I thought it strange too.

[diabolique]

Really??

[thescorpionking]

Yes. I have memories someone else lacks.

I tried to fill in the blanks for them, but it was unnerving.

[diabolique]

Maybe it's best not to unless they ask.

[thescorpionking]

I thought about that, but leaving them upset feels wrong too.

[diabolique]

Mm, that's a tough situation.

(( While Wuxian won't lie if he's asked outright, but he has no desire to offer up that he never met Xingchen because he had died. ))

[thescorpionking]

We can only do our best. {And accept the complications as they come.} Are you in any danger?

[diabolique]

That's true. (( Hoo boy has Wuxian had some complications... Not here, not yet anyway. ))

Not here. The people from my world are allies.
