[Ryotarou appears on the Plane, looking a little worn out and tired, and sighs to himself. Before he can really do anything, though, a second Ryotarou appears. He also looks tired, but more bored than anything. That goes away when he sees the doppelgänger, however. They stare at each other for a very long moment, the first's expression turning into something like panic.]

This is bad...!

[With that quiet mutter, the first Ryotarou disappears from the Plane, leaving the second Ryotarou to stare after the empty space.]


... Ehhhhh? Wh-what?!

(ooc: Time is very wibbly-wobbly. That's... all I can really say. The second Ryotarou is the 'present' Ryotarou, though.)

Um... Now that I think about it, he looked like he knew what he was doing here, right? And.. he wasn't confused to see me. Just... surprised. [Looks like he's trying to work it out for himself, although what he wants to know is the 'why' more than the 'what' or the 'how'.]

[contract_star]

This has to do with time travel? With your train and the rest of it?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[He nods.] Right. That's it.

[contract_star]

Al...right, then. [He's too tired to try and figure it out beyond that.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Smiles just a little and then tilts his head.] I think it was me... from a little bit in the future, is all. He didn't look any older, at least.

[contract_star]

Ah. Well that makes sense, I guess.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[He nods.]

[contract_star]

Do you know why it happened, though?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

No, not yet. It explains a few things, but... I don't know why.

[contract_star]

What sort of things?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Ah... things like Sakurai accusing me and Deneb of taking him somewhere, then bringing him back for some reason. We didn't. Or... haven't yet, I guess.

[contract_star]

Sounds like things could get confusing in your world pretty easily.

Is Sakurai still giving you trouble, by the way?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

It's not usually this bad...

Some. [shrug] If you don't count all his accusations at me for taking him, at least, since it... looks like he was right, after all.

[contract_star]

Taking him where?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Remembers all the stuff Sakurai came back with last time...] The past, I suppose. I don't really know for certain when, though.

[contract_star]

...So your future self brought the present Sakurai into the past and back?

...That does sound complicated.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Just... nods.]

[contract_star]

Well...at least you understand it. That's what's important, I guess...

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[And absent nod.] I wonder... what happens, though? That I would do that...

[contract_star]

I suppose...that's for you to figure out. Who knows you better than you, right?

...Well...most of the time.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Smiles a little at that.]

Right. I guess I'll find out.
