(( 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?

[diabolique]

I was dead for thirteen years. (( Said as if that's a normal thing for people to go through. ))

[wu_xi]

Were?

[ Intriguing. ]

It sounds like that is quite the story. Would you care to share over a drink?

[diabolique]

Are you buying?

[wu_xi]

I can.

[diabolique]

When and where?

[wu_xi]

Tomorrow night, wherever you prefer.

[diabolique]

I know a place in Yoshiwara. (( insert address here ))
