eighth pact ❖ {stranger with my face}

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[Emil's back on the Plane, but he seems to be acting a little... different. More different than his time of the month, too. With him is the little grayish-purple striped Wolf, which he doesn't notice until he turns around--]

Aaaahhh! [He tries to run away but falls on his butt.] Don't hurt me! Don't...

[Wolf just sits there and pants at him.]

Um... go away!

[Wolf whines, but trots off to explore the Plane as ordered. Emil sighs and gets back up, brushes off his knees.]

... Where am I? Some kind of... trap? But there's... buildings. It's like a whole city down here.

[ooc: This is not an experiment! This is what happens when you have DID and retrograde amnesia in the same body. Care to try and put the pieces together for him? He'll be fine after this post, really.]

[The Doctor pauses and blinks, his walk cut short by seeing this flailing display.]

Emil? Did you get yourself lost?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[Emil reacts by looking around, then pointing at himself.]

Emil? That's not my name. I think you have me confused for someone else.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[A pause.]

Are you quite certain? You look like him and, well, even with alternates...all right, then, who are you?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[He goes to answer, then stops.]

... I'm... well, of course I have a name! I just can't...

Uh oh.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

...Well! That's not usually a good sign. What can you remember?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Shun remembers talking to this guy before, so he's aware that Emil should know what this place is. So naturally, he is a little confused and concerned about his behavior. Yet he isn't sure what he should do about it since he really doesn't know him that well.]

It's not a really a trap.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[Emil doesn't seem to recognize him.]

It's not? Then... why am I here?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Because you were brought here. This place is called the Astral Plane...does that sound familiar?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[He shakes his head.]

Not in the slightest. I'm afraid I've never been here before.

[Still a bit pissy, but he's forcing it down out of consideration for Emil. Given that IDk what's gonna happen in that post, WE'LL JUST DO THE TIME WARP regarding that]

Emil?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[leeet's dooooo the tiiiiiiiime waaaaaaaaarp agaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain!!

Emil doesn't realize that Mu is addressing him. Until he realizes there's no one else.]

... Oh! Did you mean me?

[lamb_of_gold]

There is no other Emil present.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

Um, that's not my name.

[Everything about his mind seems fine... save the whole amnesiac thing. There's even a trace of Ratatosk's darker energy, like usual.]

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

[Marta comes to the plane as well, concerned - Emil just kind of wandered off on his own. And when she spots him, she quickly runs over, putting on an annoyed front to cover up her worry.]

Emil!!

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[Emil stops and blinks at the cute girl who's shown up in front of him.]

Er... can I help you with something?

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

What's that supposed to mean?! [She puts her fists on her hips.] Why did you just run off like that? You left me behind!

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[He takes a step back.]

I'm... sorry... I think you have me confused with someone else. My name isn't Emil.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

Actually, the "buildings floating in space" thing isn't so weird after a little while. And I don't think it's a trap--at least, I don't know who'd want to trap me here.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

It's not just buildings. It's you and me, too! I thought it was some kind of cave, maybe with the kind of fungus that glows, but this is open. And you can't replicate the constellations with this amount of detail.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

I don't get how any of this works, but I'm not going to complain, and definitely not about the stars! 'Sides, it's nice to get away from everything without someone freaking out.

...hang on--fungus can glow?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

What do you mean "without someone freaking out"?

[He nods!] There are seventeen species in Tethe'alla alone.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

Emil?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[He smiles awkwardly.]

Why does everyone keep calling me that? I really, really think you're all mistaken.

[... No stutter? WHAT IS THIS.]

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

My apologies. You look very much like him, though I'm sure you've been told that.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

Maybe we're cousins or something.
