the world begins again; out of control

[leschath.livejournal.com]

[Experiment end~ Milo, all grown up, is sitting on the Astral Plane. Not that he looks all that well. There's a faint sheen of sweat on him, his hair clings to the side of his face, and even though he's back to his original age now confusion is clear on his face.

He presses his palm against his eye as if he's fighting off a headache.]

What. What exactly happened?

[Shun comes up and notices that Milo is an adult again] So you're back to normal now?

[leschath.livejournal.com]

[So not who Milo was lookng for.] If you have nothing important to say please go away.

[lamb_of_gold]

The short answer? You were six, and grew up again from there.

You look unwell.

[Milo speaks slowly, as it it takes a lot of effort for him to figure out what he wants to say.]

I can't tell. When things happened.

It's a mess.

[lamb_of_gold]

What do you mean?

Do you need anything?

[leschath.livejournal.com]

You were there... like this when I--

But you weren't.

[lamb_of_gold]

[Sits nearby, but not enroaching on personal space] Can you elaborate?

[leschath.livejournal.com]

What you...pressumably perceive as the past few days to me is. The past 14 years.

I think that's how it would be anyways.

[lamb_of_gold]

Fourteen years in fourteen days, and an isolated incident, no less...

Do you remember anything prior? Immediately so, that is?

[leschath.livejournal.com]

If I do I can't tell. [Milo resists the urge to pull his own hair :|]

It's not that I lived my life twice. It's all mixed up together, in one piece.

[lamb_of_gold]

You cannot tell what memories are years old, and what are only days...?

[leschath.livejournal.com]

No.

[lamb_of_gold]

I grow ever more wary of this place....

[leschath.livejournal.com]

What have I done the past few days?

[lamb_of_gold]

You only came here a few times. You were reading and asking after Camus. I believe he took you in.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

I...stayed in the empty Sanctuary for a while. I think.

[Milo sights and covers his eyes with his hand.]

[lamb_of_gold]

Yes, you mentioned taking a book from Aquarius Temple...

[leschath.livejournal.com]

I have no idea. I used to do that, I don't know when this would have been.

[lamb_of_gold]

You looked to be about ten, if it helps.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Not at all.

[Closes his eyes again for a long moment.]

It doesn't matter.

[lamb_of_gold]

If you're sure.

[contract_star]

[Have a relieved (and still a bit sick) Hei.] What it looked like was that you essentially relived your entire life over the course of a week or so. [Looks out over the Plane.] You were ten or eleven, the last time I saw you.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Ten or eleven. [He's sorting out his memories, trying to figure out what happened in the past two weeks and what happened when he was younger.]

Of course, there's no way I could have known you so long.

[contract_star]

No. But that's what it feels like?

[leschath.livejournal.com]

In a way. But...not exactly.

[Sighs,] I can't explain it.
